‘Are you all really that afraid of cancel culture?’: Enes Kanter Freedom tells WNBA ‘open your eyes.’

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has expressed frustration with the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, and the league's players in a recent video posted on his X profile. The video follows an altercation during a Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever game in August, which led to Kanter Freedom's ban from the Wintrust Arena and legal disputes with the Sky organization.

In the video, Kanter Freedom addresses all 217 WNBA players and their commissioner, expressing astonishment at their inability or unwillingness to define gender within the league. He accuses the league of embarrassing itself in front of the world and questions why none of the players have stood up against what he perceives as the league's failure to take a stance.

Kanter Freedom argues that the league's refusal to define a woman is a "real threat" and suggests that the players are "really that afraid of cancel culture" that they would prioritize financial gain over their morals, values, and principles. He encourages the players to "open their eyes" and speak out against the league's "nonsense agenda." The WNBA has not yet commented on Kanter Freedom's video.
