Kanter Booted for Shirt Controversy | Portland News

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from a WNBA game after wearing a shirt that defined “woman” as “adult human female,” sparking a confrontation with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud. The incident reignited debate over transgender women’s participation in the WNBA, especially as Kanter and Royce White have declared themselves eligible for the draft. While Cloud avoided media comments, teammates defended her stance, calling it a fan-related disruption handled by security. Kanter, visibly defiant, displayed his shirt to the crowd and spoke with officers before leaving — a move seen as part of a broader advocacy effort. Teammate Dana Marsh urged fans to focus on basketball and respect the players, echoing a message familiar to those who’ve lived through the grind of professional sports.
