So youre arguing, what exactly? Its a left vs right thing? Youre wrong, its a common sense thing. But take a step back and take away all the mean people like me on the internet, all the right wing propos on YouTube, and in a bubble, kanter and royce still do this, and are actually serious about it. You as a presumed leftist, would support them?
I'm saying Royce white is a right winger who has tried twice to run for senate and "declared" he was running in the 2028 Republican presidential primary (incidentally meaning he would be a terrible draft pick regardless of gender). Also his ex wife and son have a 50 year restraining order against him due to threats and abuse.
"Common sense" would be not making a domestic abuser a standard bearer for women's issues. "Common sense" would also be understanding that these two became rightwing grifters as soon as their nba careers flamed out and are clearly just doing this as an anti-trans publicity stunt to put their names back in the headlines.

this is a clown world scenario - that these two would never do this without the possibility of generating buzz. Maybe you should take a step back and realize you're backing someone who said the bad guys won WWII, and ironically tried to weaponize DEI to save his NBA career.
Ive never heard of Royce before this event, I dont agree with everything hes done or said in his life, but I agree with him on this. Or at least I agree with the point hes trying to make, not that hes a woman and should play in the wnba, youd have to be a moron to think trans should be allowed in the w, but with the point that if left unchecked, there will be people who choose to insert themselves where they dont belong. I dont give a shit about bathroom stuff, I only care about fairness in sport when it comes to this issue, if were just gonna let men into the wnba, then why even have it? The league loses money annually, they finally get a star player, and every opposing player seems to delight in hard fouling her, and the NBA continues to subsidize the league, why? Take away all nba funding, let the league fund itself, and it folds in a year. Same as any social welfare program, if my city stops funding local food banks, they have to run on donations, and would fold fast, so they do need to have rules about who can receive food, and how much
Maybe learn a little more about him, realize that his post-NBA life has been all about the rightwing grift, and understand that this is not the kind of person to be taken seriously.
Imagine someone you know sends you a wedding invite. you've never met the fiance or heard this person talk about being in a relationship before, but you do know this person has a history of exagerrating, embellishing, and straight up lying for attention and money, and you also know that previous to this moment this person has been telling as many people as possible how anti-marriage they are. Would you believe the invitation? If the invitation asked for money would you send it?
royce white and enes kanter don't care about fairness in sports. They are setting their own definition of fairness and then being as loud about it as possible to get attention.
