Originally published at: Trump-Aligned America First Policy Institute Backing Ex-NBA Player Tossed from WNBA Game - TPM – Talking Points Memo
An organization closely tied to the Trump administration seems to be collaborating with Enes Kanter Freedom, an ex-NBA player who has joined the right-wing, anti-trans crusade against the WNBA and was ejected from a Chicago Sky game Sunday. Freedom — his chosen name; he affixed Freedom to his birth name in 2021 — has recently…
In the MAGA-sphere space it’s so easy for C-list celebrities, mediocre former athletes (see Gaines, Riley), and attention whores in general to become notorious for 15 minutes, since there’s nothing of substance in that space. I mean, Enes Kanter? Who ever gave a shit about anything Enes Kanter did or said?

Isn’t it fun that the country is so great right now that we can afford to waste time, space and money on such a critical mass issue?
Can someone please shut this $#it down, now? Like yesterday?

This is what the right wind does best is by distract. It’s hard to distract everything time you buy something that has gone up because of the actions of the president (Iran war and tariffs).

More Americans are going to find out. Some of them have been of the FA category, but now that the policies are hurting them directly, the likelihood of approval ratings continuing to plummet is great.
That should lead to a positive outcome in the midterms.

It is political activism design to energize “the base" and prevent the Blue Tsunami from happening this November. GLWTS.

The guy can say he is available for the draft, but why would any team waste a draft choice on him.

And why are you claiming the Fever is racist?

Says a lot about the contempt that these guys (both these yahoos and the AFP) have for women that they’re taking what should have been a time for WNBA players to shine in the spotlight and finding a way to drag the whole franchise through a swamp of political mud.

Has anyone found out who threw this factory-reject dildo onto the court?

Seems to me if he’s going to file for the WNBA draft as a woman, he should hurry up and get the operation and start taking hormones.
Because if not, then it proves it’s all just a childish stunt.

Because the KKK was such a mainstay of public life in Indiana that at one point, have the state legislature were Klansmen. So, if the hood fits…
Source: The History of Hate and Racism in Indiana: Rise of the KKK
As someone who visited Greenfield (a small rural area outside of Indianapolis) in the 1970s, I can tell you the KKK still had a strong presence in that state.
The Indiana Fever has done little to distance itself from player Sophie Cunningham and her ilk. Caitlin Clark—a great player but no profile in courage—would rather avoid condemning Cunningham’s comments to avoid controversy.

So, I’m guessing along with the lifetime ban from WNBA stadia from that guy who was throwing dildoes onto the court, can we include Enes Kanter Freedom? A rando off the street charging onto the court should be charged with trespass and a lifetime ban.
