Former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom, who previously made national headlines by declaring himself to be a woman so he can play in the WNBA, is now offering to run the female basketball league since its current commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, announced she is stepping down at the end of the 2026 season.

In a post on X, Kanter said: “MAKE @WNBA FEMALE AGAIN. Commissioner Freedom Has a Nice Ring to It.

“While the reported retirement of #WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is a win for women and an admission that the league’s rules must change, her retirement does not solve the systemic issues which must be addressed in order to protect women’s sports.

“If the WNBA is unable to define what a woman is, then I, Enes Kanter Freedom, would be more than happy to step in as commissioner and lead this league back to greatness and restore fairness for all women.

“I’ll bring common sense. I’ll bring fairness. And yes, I’ll bring a dictionary.”

On Thursday, as WorldNetDaily reported, Freedom announced he filed a federal lawsuit against the WNBA Chicago Sky team as well as the city of Chicago after he was ejected from the audience of a game against the Indiana Fever as he sported a T-shirt with the dictionary definition of a woman as an “adult human female.”

“SEE YOU IN COURT!!! Just filed a federal complaint. I’m taking legal action over my ejection from the @chicagosky game while peacefully exercising my First Amendment rights,” he explained.

“My T-shirt did what the whole @WNBA apparently couldn’t: define a woman. No threats. No violence. Just biology. And somehow, that required a security escort. You don’t have to agree with my speech but you don’t get to silence me for it. I will not be intimidated. I will not be silenced. I will continue to stand for women and defend free speech.”

In response to Freedom and former NBA player Royce White identifying as women and declaring themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, Engelbert was said to be in panic, launching “listening sessions” over what she calls a “complex and nuanced topic,” as WorldNetDaily reported.

“I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women’s basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention,” Engelbert wrote in an August memo obtained by the Associated Press. https://apnews.com/article/wnba-commissioner-transgender-women-sophie-cunningham-403aab1e2cf6eda967383cb2c4ab0c39

“I wanted to reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.”

Engelbert indicted the WNBA will “always approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with the longstanding values of our league. Second, our player eligibility rules, unlike the eligibility rules of some other leagues and governing bodies, are collectively bargained. Lastly, preserving the integrity of our game and ensuring fair competition will always remain among the league’s highest priorities.”

“Only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA,” according to the league’s collective bargaining agreement. However, it does not specifically address sex assigned at birth or gender identity.

“We recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic, and we will continue to have important conversations with all of you and the Players Association in the weeks and months ahead,” Engelbert said.

Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!
