The WNBA Says No, Without Saying Much The WNBA reportedly announced this week that former NBA players Royce “Roysha” White and Enes Kanter Freedom are ineligible to play in the women’s league. According to the source article, both had said they intended to play next year after league officials would not condemn males competing against women. The league did not give a detailed public explanation for ruling them out, which is always a bold choice when the whole issue is already sitting in the middle of a cultural bonfire. Clay Travis Points to Layshia Clarendon Clay Travis argued that the WNBA may have created a legal problem for itself because the league previously allowed Layshia Clarendon to play. Clarendon played in the WNBA from 2013 to 2024. The source article says Clarendon was born female, later had breast removal surgery, and played while receiving testosterone.

The outlet also reported that Abdi is the roommate of Adnan, Rep. Omar’s son. That distinction matters. The reported search involved the apartment where Omar’s son lives, but the arrest reported by Alpha News was of Abdi, not Adnan. In a political media environment where everyone sprints toward the loudest possible version of a story, the basic facts still deserve to be kept in their lanes. What Officials Have Confirmed So Far…
