Clueless WNBA attacks 'bad-faith' fans who don't want biological men ruining women's sports
The WNBA convened a task force to figure out what a woman is, emerged without an answer, scheduled more meetings to keep figuring it out, then scolded everyone else for the "hate and vitriol" surrounding the debate.
On Wednesday, the WNBA finally offered an update on its progress.
Turns out, the answer is more meetings.
WNBPA ISSUES STATEMENT EMBRACING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AMID TRANS ATHLETE DEBATE IN WOMEN'S SPORTS "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." The WNBA took the corporate escape hatch.
Dodge the question, scold the critics and kick the can down the road.
Somewhere in all these meetings is WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, who runs a women's league that still can't settle on who qualifies as a woman.
Quite the predicament.
The loophole gets a lot more complicated to ignore when ex-NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft just to expose it.
The league's own CBA says "only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA." Pretty straightforward.
Except there's one small problem: nowhere in the 400-plus-page agreement does the WNBA define what a woman is.
While executives spin their wheels in meetings, women willing to defend the purpose of women's sports are left to stand alone.
