First things first. As a boy, I was a helluva San Francisco-Oakland-Daly City-San Jose-San Diego-Golden State Warriors fan.
Sadly, the vast majority of players morphed from being world-class athletes to world-class showboats (what I call The Muhammed Ali Effect. UFC’s Conor McGregor falls into this same category).
Anyhow, the Swiss-born, Turkish-raised ex-NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom is well known for his love of America (hence his legal new last name “Freedom”).
But what makes Freedom stand-out in the crowd is his habit of hammering the likes of LeBron James and John Cena for brown-nosing and kowtowing to the uber-wealthy party bosses in Communist China who sign their massive paychecks.
So, now our young Mr. Freedom has weighed in on men starting to dominate women’s sports;
Men don’t belong in women’s spaces.
Restrooms – Locker Rooms or Sports.Since I’m blackballed from the @NBA, should I put on a wig, identify as a woman and start dominating the @WNBA?
Is that when the outrage will begin?
Is that fair to all the women who spent their whole life…— Enes FREEDOM (@EnesFreedom) August 11, 2023
If I had an ounce of athletic ability in my rather uncoordinated body, I’d do everything physically possible to beat these wannabe gals at their own game. But I don’t.
That’s why I hope that Freedom’s apparent rhetorical question is actually a veiled promise.
