WNBA’s lack of clarity on gender eligibility policy is ‘herald of the times culturally,’ ex-NBA player says
Royce White, a former NBA player who said he will declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft, said Sunday the league is an "example" of "us losing a lot of things in this country."White appeared on Fox News Channel’s "Fox & Friends Weekend" and was asked whether the league was at risk of losing its new audience amid the growing trans athlete debate surrounding the league and the lack of a clear policy when it came to gender eligibility.FORMER NBA PLAYER ROYCE WHITE SAYS HE IS DECLARING FOR NEXT WNBA DRAFT AFTER ENES KANTER ANNOUNCEMENT"The WNBA is an example of a herald of us losing a lot of things in this country," White said. "We have to secure our elections, we have to restart the mass deportations, we have to start arresting some of these Deep Staters, I’m a huge fan of banning Sharia Law and Marxism nationwide and also some of these PACs and lobbies, but the WNBA and their lack of terminology, precision is a herald of the times culturally, for sure."The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement’s Article XIII, Section 1(a) states: "Only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA." But as OutKick/Fox News Digital previously reported, the 409-page agreement never defines "woman" or "women." The terms "transgender" and "gender identity" don’t appear anywhere in the document.The CBA contains detailed definitions for dozens of other terms.
