Kanter didn't get tossed because of the shirt.
He got tossed because either his t-shirt or his mere presence set the Cuckoo Cloud off.

Apparently they have had an online spat going since Kanter objected to Cloud calling the USA "trash."

After Kanter cheered for Sophie making a three-pointer, the next time down on that end Cloud took off towards Kanter yelling "She ain't going to sleep with you!" LOL! Can't make this stuff up.

Because when Miles has 20 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in a game, it’s considered one of the greatest games a PG ever had…when Clark does that, it’s considered commonplace and also a down night for her. Clark has made the extraordinary look ordinary and that’s going to hurt her in any MVP race.
Because so many of the soul sisters and racist CC haters are in positions to control the narrative.

You think it's worse that a person wearing a t shirt to protect marginalized youth and teens is worse than a man showing up to cause a scene?

If he cared so much about protecting women, why is he there arguing with them?
First off, It looks like Cloud started any argument. What does him having a different opinion verbally have to do with him not "protecting" women. In fact he's advocating for no biological men in the W. How is that not protecting women? Did he assault someone?

I agree. If he just sat there. Now do you really think if he went out of his way to make an appearance he wasn’t there to cause disruption? Look, Cloud is clearly a crazy person these days, but you know Canter was loving the attention.
There are tons of fans at every game across all sports that are there to cause a disruption or be the center of attention, y they don’t get thrown out of the game though unless they cross a line…I have not seen or heard of him doing anything that crossed a line…he wore a shirt that Cloud didn’t like and she doesn’t like what he’s doing in terms of the W…agree or disagree with his stance, but no reason to throw him out of the game.

I should be surprised that people are taking Kanter’s side in this, but I’m not.

Guy is an idiot and only went there looking for escalation and attention. Unfortunately that’s what he got.
That’s right, freedom of speech is only allowed if you agree with someone, got it. And if they threw everyone out of sporting events just for being idiots, there would be very small crowds left- let’s start with grown men at pro football games wearing jerseys.

And what's YOUR agenda? Who's taking his side? I said, "if all he did was show up to the game, he shouldn't be ejected" I mean Cloud lost her damn mind. Maybe she should concentrate on playing basketball and maybe her team wouldn't have been eliminated from the playoffs last night. Unfortunately there are WAY to many women in the is league that are there more for the drama, (pshycho bitches of WNBA) coming to your screens soon, than to play basketball. Between her and Carrington, I'd bet their locker room is a hoot......
And certain players in this league would have been given a technical had they done what Cloud did.

And once the game stops because someone in the crowd is having a verbal altercation with a player they should be removed.

People are showing up to see the players, not people showing up to argue with the players.

If he truly cares about women he would be trying to help grow their game, not pulling a publicity stunt to “fix” a problem that doesn’t exist.

The guy is a side show, a circus, a clown.
She walked all the way across the court to confront him…that’s on her. If someone in the crowd is having a verbal altercation with a player when the player is the one who started it, then no, the fan should not get tossed.

Kanter's a washed up former NBA player who was never more than a middling talent at best who just craves attention. He tried getting into WWE as well. Dude's a clown.
Not denying that. But, should the W make a firm stance against Bio males playing in the W. That's all I'm asking. Because if the W had come out last week from the meeting and worked something out with player reps, and said NO Bio males in the WNBA, then Kanter, and White go up in a cloud of smoke. Poof.. No reason for them to be in any conversation, and they'd be outed as clowns should they continue their farce. Instead the W does nothing, and the show goes on.

In al

l honesty I fail to see why this is funny. Because someone thinks this is an issue (as EVERY other governing body has), that needs to be addressed and yet your stance is its never been a problem. Again, WHY did the IOC, NCAA, and other pro leagues address this NON issue?
It's because they can't debate you with logic. It's always being brought up that it's not the biggest issue facing women's sports. I don't remember anyone saying it was? But it is an issue whether certain individuals have yet to deal with it or not. Many have and it is one that could be handled with simple common sense.

And he walked onto the court. How many fans do that and stay?
Never saw any footage of that. What I saw he was a few rows up on the left side of the basket, until security removed him. As to your question fans ring the court ON the floor every game including Cmac and Ty Haliberton.

Cmon man. He just wore a T shirt and sat quietly and patiently. He wasn't trying to get any attention. He's a great guy! Lol. Dude was blackballed by the NBA because he's freaking lunatic. And that's hard to do. If he was a decent enough player you know someone in the league would have put up with his crazy ****.

Enes Kanter showed up to a WNBA game with a t-shirt advocating the majority opinion in the transgender debate. He would have not even have appeared on camera except for a nut-job player accosting him.

Flashback just a few weeks ago and Cheryl Reeve appears on the SIDELINES wearing a t-shirt reflecting the minority opinion.

Is Reeve an instigator? Should she have been tossed?
One opinion is loud and obnoxious with physical aggression always possible. The other deals with logic and an understanding it's a waste of time to try and out idiot the other.

It all started before he ever stepped foot into the arena. Protestors yelled at him walking toward the entrance.

Didn’t know someone had to be an NBA star to be allowed into a WNBA game.

If he purchased a ticket and followed the W's "Fan Code of Conduct", then booting him was wrong.

Why do you keep making those statements? NO one said he's a great guy. Don't care what he did in the NBA either. Why not concentrate on the real issue. If the WNBA gets off its A--, and does the right thing, then Kanter and his ilk disappear. Pretty simple solution but the foot dragging continues...

Reeve was paid to be there. She did nothing but coach. Kanter paid to show up after making attention seeking claims that he’s entering their draft and got in a verbal fight with a player.

apples and oranges.
You're right - she's paid to coach and not promote an agenda or a belief. Zero chance you would be taking this stance if her shirt may have read something like - Girls should be playing against Girls. And because of that simple fact, it did not belong on her when on the sideline. Kanter paid to get in and his shirt was not obscene in any legal way. The verbal fight was instigated by a player who is supposed to be a professional. Leagues that start to throw out fans because a player thinks he/she can simply start an argument with them won't be very successful with that plan.

If a fan is running his/her/whatever mouth, and not hurling dildos, then why not just ignore them? Why not?

Kanter is a sideshow and a clown and unfortunately he exists. Is he doing it for himself? Of course he is, he is and always has been a nutjob. But his ability to exist is because of the league's asinine view on this even more asinine subject. Seriously, what are we even doing here?

Oh my gosh. This is the most lazy and misleading take that's been floating around lately.

Kanter has been advocating for freedom and human rights ever since he emigrated from Turkey which he did not enjoy there. He has been vocal against many oppressive governments.

His advocacy did not start with this one issue in a self-serving way.
Correct - I believe he has a bounty on him from his own country for standing up for human rights and opposing actual discrimination and atrocities. What is funny is it always goes back to one simple issue and the need to oppose.

Or they will try to pigeon hole the issue and obfuscate further by saying it's a non-issue because there are no transgenders in the WNBA.

Well, guess what? Sophie nor her supporters ever said there was. She was speaking about female sports in general.
