According to Fox News, White said the only thing that would stop the effort is if the WNBA makes a “definitive statement” that males cannot play in the league. In other words, the league may need to do the terrifying work of saying what its rules mean in plain English. https://twitter.com/JackThompsonFOX/status/2085882782580883923?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw White Touts His Basketball Case White was a first-round NBA Draft pick…
