Yeah that’s a great take.

Everyone worry about a grown woman having a relationship with a grown man.

Once again you’ve failed to understand what the issue is.

Sophie did not come out against men currently playing in the W. She came out and took the position that Men shouldn’t be allowed to.

You’re really not understanding what the issue is and what people are trying to discuss.

The issue is also not the sex lives of working professional adults.

The issue is also not talent level.

You keep detouring.
Oh they get the issue, they want to divert from the issue.

What are you upset about? Sophie taking a cultural stand for girls? You triggered by that? Or have you been offended by her personal life all along and we just missed that thread?
Sure if that’s what she’s doing. Yay Sophie standing up for a non issue in her league. No trans in college basketball either. Someone is wanting to be the next Riley Gaines.

It is. Little girls cheer her on not because they see men playing in the WNBA but because they see idiots who think girls playing with boys is synonymous with boys playing in girls’ sports. Good for Sophie. You can strawman attack her all day and she appears to be ready to stand her ground. If you have a daughter or granddaughter, she should thank Sophie.

Avoidance. ^^^

There's been WNBA athletes that have stated they would welcome transgender athletes into the league. Sophie has every right to disagree.

A player not players. Gabby Williams said it which was an idiotic statement. Just like I think Sophie’s statement was stupid as well. Sophie was the first to speak on the topic then backtracked.

lol. He called others uneducated and has no idea what’s going on. “There’s no men in the WNBA derp derp” He thinks this is just a WNBA issue. Weak men like him are why it took the IOC so long to act. They want the condemnation of this behavior silenced because they approve the behavior.

Remember, “I don’t think men should play in women’s sports” is what was too much for these nutjobs to handle. The aftermath of those simple words was absolutely insane and there are grown men defending it.
These nutjobs can't even define a woman so their opinions are useless. Enes called their bluff and now they have their panties in a wad. Go Enes Go.

Sophie had to find something to cling to since she’s a mediocre basketball player known for sleeping with the owner of one of her previous teams. No one from the league office has ever entertained replacing women with men.
And no one from the league office can define a woman. Now that Enes has declared he is now a woman, we UK fans should celebrate Enes. He is one of us and is making a statement that was long over due.

He should be allowed to keep his beard when he puts on a WNBA uniform. People will pay lots of money to watch the Bearded Lady slam dunk a little girl.

Your gaslighting doesn't work anymore. There absolutely are cases of men playing in women's sports. The reason it doesn't happen more, is because people speak out against it. Are there men in the WNBA now? No. But if we all stay silent, there absolutely will be. And then when we speak up, you'll play the "it's less than 1% lolz derp derp" card. This is how you operate. You did the same thing with homosexuals. First it was, they just want to be treated like everyone else and be normal. Cool. Most of us got behind that. But that's not what you really wanted. Now there's a month long celebration with pride flags in the schools and parades of half naked degenerates walking the streets. We know what you'll do when left to your own devices and we aren't backing down anymore. So you can F right off.
You need to see a psychiatrist

Look at the leftist blaming SC for her boss sleeping with her. In any other scenario that poster would say the owner is at fault and bad man. Id tend to agree as people n positions of power shouldnt sleep with subordinates. Leaves risk for sexual harassment as well.
Funny how their standards change when it suits them.

Why did I venture over here… this is the dumbest most uneducated thread I ever seen. How many men or trans are currently playing in the W? Why is a non issue or something that has never happened being discussed like it’s a problem? I thought Sophie said keep it about basketball. Let’s talk about her great three points she has scored in the past two games.
if it's such a "non issue" then the W bosses could have just come out and said "eff that bruh" but instead they had to have big meetings and say they're concocting some sort of announcement.

Hopefully not.

To pretend that you can have sports conversations without a political aspect in that is ridiculous. Everything has been politicized now. Any mod attempting to try to keep those two worlds juxtaposed is probably not dealing in reality. Thankfully they''ve let this one continue, but I'm pretty sure I know who tattle tales to the mods anytime they read a thread like this (and to be clear, it's not you).
All of TheGanner's posts and my replies to him and many other posts have been removed.

I'm pretty certain at this point the soap opera that is the WNBA is doing all this stuff on purpose. Perhaps all the players aren't in on it because some of them seem to be dumb as bricks. But every day it's something new. Yesterday a coach held out her best three players to protest the great injustice of having to play back-to-back night road games.

Name the men that are in women’s sports? Tell me the men that are playing or have played in the W?


give me the top 10 examples of men playing in women's sports in the last 10 years
Thought for 37s

Here are documented, high-profile examples from roughly the last 10 years (≈2016–2026) of biological males (transgender women who went through male puberty) competing in women’s/girls’ sports categories. These are drawn from public records, competition results, and reporting. Rankings of “top” are subjective and based on visibility, level of competition, and outcomes rather than a strict metric.
  1. Lia Thomas (swimming, USA) – Competed for the University of Pennsylvania men’s team (ranked outside the top 50–500 in key freestyle events), then switched to the women’s team. Won the 2022 NCAA Division I women’s 500-yard freestyle title and placed highly in other events, becoming the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title.
  2. Laurel Hubbard (weightlifting, New Zealand) – Competed as a male earlier in her career, transitioned, and became the first openly transgender woman to compete at the Olympics (Tokyo 2020, held in 2021) in the women’s +87 kg category. Failed to complete lifts and did not place.
  3. CeCé Telfer (track and field, USA) – Competed on the Franklin Pierce University men’s team, then the women’s team after testosterone suppression. Won the 2019 NCAA Division II women’s 400-meter hurdles title (first openly transgender NCAA champion in that context).
  4. Fallon Fox (MMA, USA) – Competed in women’s mixed martial arts (2012–2014). Record of 5–1; one opponent (Tamikka Brents) suffered a concussion and orbital bone fracture after a bout.
  5. Terry Miller (track, Connecticut high school) – Dominated girls’ sprint events (e.g., 55m, 100m, 200m), winning multiple Class and State Open titles and New England championships around 2018–2019, including setting records.
  6. Andraya Yearwood (track, Connecticut high school) – Frequently placed 1st or 2nd in girls’ sprints alongside Miller in state meets during the same period.
  7. Austin Killips (cycling, USA) – Won the overall classification at the 2023 Tour of the Gila (a UCI-sanctioned women’s stage race) and other women’s events, including significant margins in some races.
  8. High school track athletes in recent seasons (examples include Veronica Garcia in Washington state and AB Hernandez in California) – Multiple state championship wins or top finishes in girls’ track/field events in 2024–2025 seasons.
  9. Various powerlifting and strength-sport cases – Documented instances of biological males setting or breaking women’s records at national-level events (e.g., Canadian Powerlifting Union and similar competitions in the early 2020s).
  10. Other documented cases – Include athletes in fencing (e.g., veteran world championship wins in women’s categories), cycling (additional stage or national-level wins), volleyball, and mountain biking where biological males won or placed highly in women’s elite or masters divisions.
Context and notes
  • Male puberty produces lasting advantages in muscle mass, bone density, strength, speed, and aerobic capacity that hormone therapy does not fully eliminate, according to multiple sports science reviews and governing-body analyses. Performance gaps between elite males and females typically range from 10–50%+ depending on the sport.
  • Many international federations (World Aquatics, World Athletics, World Rugby, UCI cycling, and others) and, more recently, the IOC (2026 policy for future Olympics), NCAA, and numerous national bodies have tightened or restricted eligibility for the female category to those who did not experience male puberty, citing fairness and safety.
  • Numbers overall remain relatively small compared to total female athletes, but individual cases have displaced female competitors from podiums, titles, records, scholarships, and roster spots. Lists of additional cases exist from organizations tracking the issue (e.g., Women’s Sports Policy Working Group compilations).
  • DSD (differences of sex development) cases with XY chromosomes (such as certain boxers at the 2024 Olympics) are sometimes grouped in public debate but are biologically distinct from post-puberty transgender transitions; they are not included in the core list above.
These examples are factual public records. Broader policy debates continue around fairn

Don't care about stupid fouls. Shut it down because it sucks, no one likes it, and it doesnt make enough money to survive without taking the mens money.
That is the truth in a nutshell. It has been subsidized by the men's league and its a poor product and nobody watches. If it was a real business it would have shut its doors decades ago.

The sad thing is they have a player that will bring in the fans and they are doing their best to permanently injure Clark. Its just pettiness and jealousy. Bill Burr nailed it .

At least the WNBA is entertaining now. If Enes gets to play, I may actually watch a game.
Kanter would average at least 50 points and 30 rebounds per game. The only reason he wouldn't score more is because his coach would bench him after his team took a 30 point lead each game.

Dude could probably score on every possession.

That's no exaggeration either.
