Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, two former NBA players with zero background in women's basketball or science and biology, declared for the WNBA draft within days of each other. Enes is a right wing activist. Royce White is once again a MAGA candidate running for Congress.
Enes's post read like a taunt, daring the league to enforce its own policy language against him. Royce did the same. The league called it a stunt. So did everyone else, a punchline, good for a news cycle, forgotten by the weekend.
They don't have to want a roster spot, and clearly they don't. They want to play the league, not play in it.
