WNBA Commissioner Engelbert steps down
por Flint: Sophie Cunningham
WNBA Commissioner Engelbert is reportedly stepping down after more than seven years, right at the end of this season. The exit follows a mess where her task force failed to define what a woman actually is. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham had already flagged that biological men shouldn't compete in women's sports, and Engelbert got roasted for calling the issue complex instead of drawing a line. Former NBA players Royce White and Enes Kanter Freedom are pushing forward with plans to enter the 2027 draft. They intend to keep pushing through legal action if they have to. Kanter Freedom even wore a shirt defining a woman as an adult female to a Chicago Sky game before getting ejected and banned from home games. Engelbert claimed the whole thing was just being used for divisiveness. The fix is obvious: define woman with BASIC BIOLOGY or the bad press keeps rolling. I hope this stays prominent for months so the insanity doesn't get buried.
