Publicity stunt? Of course but it's funny

quote:


After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.

If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.

My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.

I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.

See you at training camp.

"If declaring who you are is all that's required..."

I feel like if that's the standard to vote, far be it from me to say you can't play women's basketball with a penis.

I love it. The trick is going to be getting a team to actually draft him. I highly doubt that will happen.

If they are serious about winning, it will happen.

Remember there are people like this, that believe this about a 6-10 guy who spent 11 seasons in the NBA and averaged 20 ppg.

Maybe thats the point. No one can deny he would be the best in the league, and no one can reject him if they abide by their inclusivity guidelines.

So he sues the piss out of them for discrimination, along with their daddy the NBA and makes a mint.

Sounds like discrimination if they don’t by their own rules
