Looks Like the WNBA’s Absurdity Is About to Sink the Entire Transgender Movement

Rush Limbaugh had a saying to explain how he would drive a point home about the left that perfectly applies to what we’re seeing in the WNBA today. He said that sometimes you have to illustrate the absurd through absurdity.

In other words, you have to take the left’s premise to its ultimate conclusion to more fully see just how messed up it is.

That would be a perfect description of how the WNBA is totally blowing its current men-in-women’s-sports crisis.

My colleagues David Manney and Robert Spencer both wrote separate stories about this trend, which is getting increasingly absurd: We now have former NBA stars declaring their intent to enter the WNBA draft as women.

Rush Limbaugh would be proud of these guys. Illustrate the absurd through absurdity. But what makes it all truly absurd is the amount of reality involved here. Both Royce White and Enes Freedom are simply following the rules the left has created, and in the process, they can legitimately claim to have a shot at getting a roster spot in the WNBA.

But it’s not just that. It’s the reaction they’re getting from the left, which in unison is saying, “No fair, you can’t do that!” 

The left forgets that yes, in the past, you couldn’t do that. But now, thanks to the left, you can. And the WNBA hasn’t taken a hard line on any of this yet, which is not only hurting the league, but is also hurting the transgender movement.

Reports are that the league is now reaching out to its teams to address, as US News and World Report reports, “ongoing discussions around transgender athletes in women’s basketball.”

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Englebert said, “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….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.”

According to reports, a task force of team presidents and general managers will take this issue up in the near future.

“I’m Transgender. I’m a Woman” – Second Former NBA Player Announces Plans to Enter Next WNBA Draft

Another former NBA player on Friday announced he has plans to enter the WNBA draft.

“As I stated a few days ago, I am declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft,” said former NBA player and current Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, Royce White.

“I identify as a sometimes identifying transgender woman! My wig is in the mail,” he said.

Royce White said he will pursue legal action if the WNBA denies his bid.

“I have to file a discrimination lawsuit, right? I mean, that’s, that’s ridiculous,” Royce White said. “We’re gonna have to have a huge legal battle about discrimination if I can’t play.”

Cubs Star Pete Crow-Armstrong Shares Bizarre Conspiracy Theory that Babe Ruth ‘Didn’t Exist’

Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong seems to have gone all-in for the bizarre conspiracy theory that Baseball legend Babe Ruth is a storybook character and never existed in real life.

The player known as PCA divulged the strange theory while appearing on Kristin Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast, according to the New York Post.

“This is gonna be crazy,” he admitted as he launched into the topic. “Babe Ruth never existed is one that I like. I heard some pitcher with the Mariners … I think he did some podcast on Zoom where he was going down the rabbit hole with somebody about how Babe Ruth never existed.”

He went on to insist that, “We always talk about how the game is evolving; people might as well have been like underhanding the ball to that guy. And he’s regarded still as one of the best players ever. Might as well dive further into it and be like, well, maybe he just never existed.”

PCA referenced a claim made by one-time Mariners pitcher Tayler Saucedo, who once said that he’d only ever seen one video of Ruth, so he didn’t think the famed player ever really existed.

There is indeed very little film footage of Ruth, who retired from baseball in 1935. But film was far less common of current events and media figures until the 1940s and 50s and later, so the lack of film footage is not at all unusual for news figures of his era.

Still, Ruth’s life and career were well documented by the newspapers of the times, and there are even people still alive today who could have seen him play.

Still, PCA may have been commenting more on Ruth’s legendary sports achievements than his actual existence

Olympic Gold Medalist Alysa Liu’s Transgender Brother is Quietly Dominating California Girls’ High School Sports

The brother of Olympic figure skating gold medalist Alysa Liu has been competing as a female athlete and steadily collecting victories in California high school girls’ sports, according to a new report.

Jaylin Liu, who previously went by the name Joshua and only recently began identifying as female, has taken first place in every 200-meter and 400-meter girls’ race he entered for Albany High School this season, including the Tri-County Athletic League Finals, according to reporting from Reduxx.

He is ranked the top “female” runner on his team in those events and the best in the league in the quarter-mile.

In 2025 alone, Jaylin Liu secured eight first-place finishes at seasonal meets, a silver medal at the NCS Bayshore Championship in the 400-meter, and a gold medal in the Tri-County Athletic League Frosh-Soph Championship 200-meter race.

Beyond track, he has also competed in girls’ varsity basketball, earning a silver medal at a championship, and played ultimate frisbee for El Cerrito High School at the Ultimate High School National Invite, where his performance was described as extremely dominant.

Revealed: Here’s What Pirro Brought to the White House After Trump Blasted Her For Dropping Reflecting Pool Criminal Case

US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro arrived at the West Wing of the White House on Monday afternoon with a white box in tow as President Trump ripped into her for dropping the criminal Lincoln Pool vandalism case.

The Justice Department on Friday dismissed the Lincoln Reflecting Pool vandalism case against David Hearn.

David Hearn, the former Olympian who was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of property for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in June, was indicted by a grand jury on felony charges last month.

Hearn is a three-time Olympic canoeist.

Hearn was charged with felony destruction of government property. He was facing 10 years in prison.

Pirro dropped the case and said the damage to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool was the result of “flawed installation by the contractor.”

Earlier Monday, President Trump spoke out about Pirro’s move to drop the case during remarks to reporters in the Oval Office.

Deranged Golden State Valkyries Coach Says “I’m All About Little Girls Deserving to Play” But Men Should be Allowed in the Women’s Basketball League

Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase broke her silence on biological male transgenders competing in women’s sports, and she suggested that transgender athletes are “deserving” of playing in women’s leagues. 

This comes amid the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham recently saying she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

Since Cunningham’s remarks, three coaches, including Cunningham’s own coach, the Indiana Fever’s Stephanie White, have broken their silence, refusing to stand up to the transgender insanity threatening women’s sports.

Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve even protested Cunningham during a game against the Fever on Sunday, where she wore a “Trans Kids Belong” t-shirt in a petty attempt to own critics of men in women’s sports.

When asked about the controversy and the apparent feud between Cunningham and Reeve on Monday, Nakase said she supports “inclusivity,” alleging in her own experiences of exclusion as a 5’2″ Japanese woman. How would she like to play against seven-foot-tall men?

“I think just in terms of how I’m seeing it is, if I could answer, with like for me, sports, sports is about belonging. It’s about inclusivity. It’s about allowing everyone to be their authentic self,” Nakase told reporters.

“You know, I’m big on that just because I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity. I’ve been in those ‘you shouldn’t belong here’ many times. And for me, I don’t want that space, especially Golden State, to ever feel like that.”

She then ironically said, “I’m all about women, little girls deserving to play,” before throwing in, “and that includes trans women.”

“So I’m all about inclusivity,” she added.

WNBA PR Shuts Down Press Conference the Instant Sophie Cunningham’s Defense of Women’s Sports Comes Up

An Indiana Fever postgame press conference came to an abrupt end when a reporter attempted to ask about teammate Sophie Cunningham’s recent comments defending women’s sports.

The team’s PR director immediately cut off the session, sending players and the coach fleeing the podium.

Following the Fever’s win over the Portland Fire on Friday night, an Outkick reporter began a question with the words “Speaking of outside noise, Sophie came out with—”

PR director Jackie Maynard immediately interjected and declared, “We’re going to wrap up there.”

Players Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson quickly jumped out of their seats and left the room.

Boston offered a brief “Thank you. Have a good day,” while coach Stephanie White briefly stared at papers before following them out.

Fans Outraged After Multiple WNBA Coaches Refuse to Protect Women’s Sports from Trans Athletes

Three Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) coaches have announced their support for allowing men who claim to be women to play in women’s sports over the last few days.

The debate over allowing men to invade women’s sports was kicked back into high gear after Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham delivered the common sense position that women’s sports should not allow transgender players to join their league. She said she feels it is the right thing to do to protect women’s sports against the unsafe and unfair physical advantage that men have over women.

Since Cunningham’s interview with ESPN, left-wing sports media reporters have begun pestering WNBA players and coaches about how they “feel” over Cunningham’s position on the issue. And to date, three coaches have sided with the inclusion of men in women’s sports.

On Friday, for instance, Cunningham’s own coach, Stephanie White, tried to have it both ways by saying she isn’t informed enough to have a set opinion on the “science” of the issue, but added that excluding men from women’s sports isn’t the way to address the problem.

“I don’t know that I would say I’m educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don’t ever believe that exclusion is the answer. I just don’t. I do think that when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things that go into that, like I said, I’m not educated enough at the different levels. I know growing up I played with the boys all the time,” White said, according to Fox News.

Sophie Cunningham’s Ridiculous Coach Asked if Male Athletes Should Be Allowed in the WNBA – Says She’s “Not Educated Enough” and “Exclusion” is Not an Answer

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White weighed in on the trans-athletes in women’s sports debate on Friday, and she predictably bowed to the woke mob. 

Stephanie White is the controversial head coach for Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, the two most popular players in the WNBA. White has performed a miserable job coaching Clark and allowing her to face a beating night after night in the woke women’s league.

White’s comments come amid the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever star who took a heroic stand against men competing in women’s sports. The 29-year-old star said she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men,” sparking outrage from far left progressives.

White was asked during a pregame presser on Friday for her personal stance on male athletes participating in women’s sports, and the coach, despite living 49 years as a woman, couldn’t answer because she apparently lacks the “expertise.” She even appeared to defend men in women’s sports, adding, “growing up, I played with the boys all the time.”

How did that work out, Stephanie?

“I don’t know that I would say that I’m educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don’t ever believe that exclusion is an answer. I just don’t,” White responded.

“I do think, you know, when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things that go into that, like I said, I’m not educated enough at the different levels. I know, growing up, I played with the boys all the time. There weren’t girls’ sports.”

Pirro Dismisses Lincoln Reflecting Pool Vandalism Criminal Case Against Former Olympian David Hearn

The Justice Department on Friday dismissed the Lincoln Reflecting Pool vandalism case against former Olympian David Hearn.

David Hearn, the former Olympian who was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of property for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool last month, was indicted by a grand jury on felony charges earlier this month.

Hearn is a three-time Olympic canoeist.

David Hearn denied any wrongdoing.

Hearn was charged with felony destruction of government property. He was facing 10 years in prison.

A grand jury in the DC Superior Court returned the indictment.

During a press conference earlier this month, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro said Hearn “violently and forcefully” ripped up the sealant.

However, on Friday, Pirro said the damage to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool was the result of “flawed installation by the contractor.”

“It was not until after the return of the indictment [of Hearn], that the [Department of Interior] provided additional documents to the [US Attorney’s Office in DC] indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, and the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026,” Pirro’s office wrote.

Hearn’s attorneys said in a statement to CNN reacting to the decision:

“The Trump administration’s case against David Hearn should never have been brought.

Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong.

The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.”
