The ‘W’ in WNBA stands for ‘Women's' (or so we were led to believe). The league apparently wants to keep it that way but is unable, or unwilling, to define exactly what a woman is. This ‘conundrum’ arises because two former NBA players have applied for the upcoming WNBA draft. Both men are claiming to be trans women to prove a point while standing up for women. The league held a meeting Wednesday but couldn’t agree on what actually constitutes a woman.

The WNBA is PANICKING, they just held their meeting about how to define "woman" and walked out with NO DEFINITION.
You gotta be kidding.
Former NBA players Enes Freedom and Royce White are full steam ahead to the draft WNBA:
"There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others."
Utter clowns! The WNBA is cooked!
The league and its players definitely want the ‘W’ in WNBA to stand for ‘woke’ but don’t seem willing to commit to it either fully. (WATCH)

It’s amazing how difficult they are making this because they don’t want to upset the transgender cult.
Maybe the ‘W’ stands for word salad. Look at this league statement.
"Today's meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online. We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others."

They held a whole meeting about how to define “woman,” walked out with nothing, then hit us with the classic “no immediate eligibility issues” + “bad-faith efforts” line.
The CBA literally says only women can play… and they still can’t (or won’t) say what that word means.
Meanwhile, Enes Freedom and Royce White are just sitting there waiting for the 2027 draft like “cool, so we’re in then?”
If your entire league is built on the “W” and you treat the definition of that letter like it’s some complicated quantum physics problem, yeah… you’re cooked.

It looks like ‘foul balls’ won’t be confined to professional baseball.
Some posters say there might already be some extra balls on the court.
They must have multiple players who wouldn’t be able to pass a cheek swab test. That’s why they can’t come up with a definition. They’ve abandoned biology and “identity” can’t be verified.

Because they have to try and work around the biological men already playing in their league

Will the WNBA take the ‘L’ on the ‘W’ and let men into the league?
Some hope they do. (WATCH)

How do you have a meeting and are unable to figure out what woman means?

We live in an alternate reality

The WNBA is not cooked. On the contrary, tens of millions will tune in to see these two fellas . . . I mean “babes” . . . play.

It’s going to be awkward if Royce White and Enes Freedom actually step on court in WNBA uniforms. All because the league lacks the courage to properly define what a woman is and tell these two ‘trans women’ to take their balls and go home.
