This is getting better. Enes Kantor Freedom, retired NBA/Boston Celtics player, wants a job in the WNBA. It's literally the plot of the movie JUWANNA MANN:
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I'm officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, then I meet every single
requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and
governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for
the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or
personal choices.
I'm simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone-- the rules
that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly
advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the WNBA honoring
its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

Only a bunch of transphobic bigots would keep this beautiful woman out of the WNBA. Let her play! Girl power!
Also, podcaster Clay Travis has put up $10 million for any WNBA team to play a
boy's high school basketball team of his choice. This would be a massive windfall for the team, yet none of them have taken up the challenge. Maybe they remember what happened to the gold-medal world champion women's soccer team when they played a promotional match against a high school boy's team in Dallas. The best of the best in the world were handed their asses by an average group of teenage boys.
This whole idea that men can compete against women and not destroy their sports is so insane that I'm continually dumbfounded that grown adults can behave this way.

anyone else willing to wager on a bout between Ronda Rousey

Or if he'd prefer, Claressa Shields.

Now the former No. 1 NBA draft pick and retired Houston Rockets player Royce White has also declared eligible for the WNBA draft. This is hilarious.

I have a thought. I know this is a radical idea, but hear me out.
What if the franchisor concentrated on offering entertainment in the
form of women playing basketball, did everything reasonable to promote
their brand, and ceased making any social commentry whatsoever?
Wouldn't this make more money for them? Is there some reason to be in business other than to make money?

I've never understood the entertainment value of *any* sports but I find
the idea of paying to watch very low-skilled players the most baffling
of all ideas. Aside from family cheering you on out of a sense of family loyalty, what would possibly induce anyone to pay for that?
At least with the best athletes there is the possibility of marvelling--- Synchronet 3.22a-Linux NewsLink 1.2
at the prowess of individual players but if WNBA play is as weak as
reputed, that doesn't seem to be a factor. No offense against these
players but maybe they need to get over themselves until they've got
some actual entertainment value going for them. Obviously, they should
feel free to play for the joy of it but they should lower their
expectations of drawing the same audiences and money as the NBA until
the point where they're offering the same entertainment value.
