A former pro-Trump NBA, against trans players: “Guys with a couple of balls in the women’s league”
Another former NBA added fuel to the fire in the transgender controversy after the kind of show he did Enes Kanter Freedom amid the debate over whether trans women should play in the WNBA or not. Some players and coaches have defended transgender women’s right to play.
Although Royce White He was a modest NBA player compared to the Turk – just a brief stint with the Sacramento Kings in 2014 – his words also generated a lot of stir due to the forcefulness and acid sarcasm with which he addressed the subject, nothing like the subtle tone of Enes Kanter Freedom.
Furthermore, White is from the same political current as the president of the United States donald trump as a candidate in the Republican Party primary elections in Minnesota on August 11.
“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I sometimes identify as a woman for the purpose of basketball, professional basketball. So I’m also declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft,” the former NBA player told Fox. 35 years also passing through the Rio Grande Valley Vippers of the G-League – a subsidiary of the Rockets – and the Canadian London Lightning.
Despite the statements to Fox, White already made a statement of what he thought on his X account even before the viral Enes Kanter Freedom video. However, his message has been amplified after the Turk’s appearance and even more so after his statements to Fox.
“I think I would be unstoppable. But I’m a team-first guy, I’m a pass-first type of player, I do the little things. I led my team in the five major categories at Iowa State, so I do a little bit of everything. I’ll do whatever the coach needs from me, whatever the girls need from me. I think that’s fair,” Royce White also said, raising his tone even further.
“I think the WNBA “I should come out and make a definitive statement about guys with a couple of balls playing in the women’s league,” added the former player, who suggested that he will take legal action if he is not drafted and does not sign with any team.
“I have to file a discrimination lawsuit, right? I mean, this is ridiculous. We’re going to have to have a huge legal battle over discrimination if I can’t play,” White also said.
“Of course I would use the girls’ locker room, I don’t want to be discriminated against. Why wouldn’t I use the girls’ locker room,” added the former NBA, who, however, wanted to clarify that his opinion is not a criticism of women’s basketball.
“I have great respect for the skill of women’s basketball. Even in high school, you see that girls have to play basketball with more skill because they don’t have some of the God-given physical abilities or the more natural physical abilities than men,” he explained. Royce White.
