On Sunday night, former NBA player Enes Kanter attended a WNBA game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever. He says he was there to show his support for Fever player Sophie Cunningham. He was also there to support women, which the WNBA refuses to define. It’s this refusal, and the threat of men pretending to be women entering the league, that has Kanter and Royce White applying for the WNBA draft to prove how disastrous and unfair to female players that would actually be. Kanter wore a shirt with the real definition of what a woman is. He didn’t get to stay for the whole game.
Here’s what went down. (WATCH BOTH VIDEOS)
🟠 Enes Kanter showed up to a WNBA game wearing a shirt that simply said:

“Woman. Adult human female.”
They escorted him out of the building.

Enes Freedom just got into it with some Sky players, then was escorted out of the arena. Natasha Cloud was clearly upset in a verbal exchange: pic.twitter.com/WKOHj9lgA8

The WNBA is such a mess.
After his ejection from the game, Kanter gave his side of the story. (WATCH)
BREAKING: Enes Kanter Freedom just told me what happened with him and Natasha Cloud that led to his ejection.

"Sophie Cunningham shot a three, and I put my hands up to celebrate... Natasha came back and started screaming and yelling and said, ‘She’s not gonna sleep with you."…
I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN!

Let that sink in, AMERICA! 🇺🇸
Talk about a defining moment!
Posters have their own ideas as to why Sky player Natasha Cloud stormed toward Kanter.

What is she so mad about
— CartierFamily (@cartierfamilyZ) August 24, 2026
Because he had on a pro-woman shirt. So of course she has to put on drama show for everyone. Instead of just playing basketball. So over it.

So she was mad cause he (sorry I mean she) was wearing a shirt that supported her? Crazy lol

How dare he!
Even some in the crowd couldn’t help but chuckle at the crazy exchange.
We’re all this old guy watching the WNBA implode. lol pic.twitter.com/BvQfEwJAw1

These women are just dim. Everyone is watching their reactions, and they make the wrong choice every time.

Maybe worry about guarding C.C. as she drops threes as opposed to worrying about fans.
The Fever’s Caitlin Clark has a career-high eight 3-pointers. She ended up with a double-double of 37 points and 10 assists as the Fever beat the Sky 113-90.
But a t-shirt and a player’s unhinged reaction to it stole the show.
Careful what you wish for, @WNBA

Freedom of speech never looked this good. 💅🏽
Somehow controversial.🤷🏻♂️ pic.twitter.com/TZRa2M3mxc
All Enis Kanter wants is for the WNBA to define the parameters of player eligibility.
If they define it in such a way that he is eligible, he might force them to defend their choice.
If they define it in such a way that he's not eligible, then he'll applaud them and sit down.
He's mocking their unwillingness to tell the world what the "W" in WNBA means

Settle it on the court 😂

Or in a court, the way things are going.
