Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe video discusses recent controversies in the WNBA, focusing on the ejection of former NBA player Ennis Cantor Freedom from a game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky. The commentary criticizes the league's culture, the behavior of players like Natasha Cloud and De'Janae Carrington, and the broader political tensions regarding biological males in women's sports.
More of that soap opera drama in the WNBA last night.
I mean, these women, I think you have to be tall.
You have to be a good basketball player-ish.
And you have to be a hot mess in order to get recruited for the WNBA.
Though if you don't meet all three of those requirements,
they're really not interested in you.
You gotta be a show person ready to like call attention to yourself.
Not for basketball, by the way.
Not for basketball.
And we're seeing that everywhere.
We told you earlier this month about Ennis Cantor Freedom.
He's been on the program before.
He's 6 foot 10.
He was the number three pick in the 2011 NBA draft.
And he played 11 seasons in the NBA.
The NBA, I say.
Earlier this month, he declared for next year's WNBA draft,
given the league has no official policy on biological males who identify as women.
Cantor announced that he was going to attend last night's Indiana Fever,
Chicago Sky game.
I mean, you have to say the names because no one has ever heard of these dumb teams.
The Indiana Fever, we've heard of because of Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
And then the Sky, Chicago Sky.
I mean, who the hell knows who the hell these people are?
But they're throwing around these little divas and their behavior like there's no tomorrow.
Sophie Cunningham, as I just mentioned, she's come out against males in the WNBA.
She plays for the Fever.
She and Caitlin are the two most famous people in the league.
And she's the one who got, you remember, this flagrant foul from De'Janae Carrington
the last time she played in Chicago.
Such a lovely group of women, isn't it?
Carrington was ejected from the game for that play,
then would run back to the locker room and tweet out white privilege.
Even though she went to Stanford.
Did you go to Stanford?
I didn't go to Stanford.
I went to Syracuse.
I know I wasn't feeling my white privilege.
She went to Stanford.
She's born to an NBA star.
Her mother's a professional as well, this De'Janae Carrington.
She's got hair that's blonder than mine.
That's not real, but she does.
And down to her bottom, she's all glammed up with her Stanford degree
and would like you to know how smart she is, but hashtag white privilege.
I don't know about you, but I didn't grow up with a dad who was an NBA
star.
In fact, my dad died when I was a teenager.
A lot of people who happen to be white have very difficult childhoods.
They lost a parent, or they didn't come from money,
or they had absolutely no shot at a scholarship to Stanford.
So S-T-F-U, De'Janae.
But she was not the problem on the Chicago sky over the weekend.
It was one of her teammates.
Apparently, they're all nightmares.
From the beginning yesterday, Cantor Freedom ran into trouble, right?
He showed up.
And here's what happened as he entered the arena.
It's a bunch of dudes out there who should be on his side.
I'm like, I don't know.
What's the dude's problem?
They don't want him showing up and standing up for women's rights.
For the listening audience, Cantor Freedom was wearing a shirt.
I believe he got that from Kelly J Keane,
Posey Parker, also known as Posey Parker, because she sells that on her website,
which you should definitely go to and get.
So at first, the game was uneventful,
with Cantor taking in the action without drawing too much attention.
And then around the end of the third quarter,
this happened after Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud celebrated after making a layup.
Watch.
And right before the break, this was the scene inside Wintrust Arena
after Natasha Cloud got that bucket.
She wanted her voice heard.
We have talked about the conversations surrounding the W.
That is Enos Cantor in the building today.
And he has voiced how he's felt about the situation, Natasha Cloud
voicing her opinion as well.
Cantor was just escorted out.
Because his opinion is not allowed at the WNBA.
You must be escorted out if you think men should not be allowed to play in a women's
league, at least if you're at a WNBA game.
Who is still supporting this league?
Honestly, who is going to these games supporting these women?
For the first time since World War Two,
our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic product.
America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us.
Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses
and higher interest payments on the national debt.
Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow or print.
Smart retirement planners prepare for potential setbacks,
and they can do that by diversifying with a time-tested asset known for weathering the storm.
Consider Physical Gold from Birch Gold Group.
Text MK to the number 989898 and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on converting
an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
You don't pull the ripcord on your parachute once you've already hit the ground.
Don't wait for economic turbulence to diversify.
Text MK to the number 989898 and consider owning some gold from Birch Gold.
Al Kit spoke with Cantor Freedom after the game.
Here's how he describes what happened.
It was towards the end of the third quarter, and Sophie Cunningham shot a three.
And I put my hands up to celebrate, right?
Literally, a couple positions later, Natasha came back
and started screaming and yelling and said, she's not going to sleep with you.
And I was like, I am not trying to sleep with her.
I'm just here to protect women and support her.
And then obviously, after that, she started yapping and she started to walk towards me.
And literally, I just got up.
And then I was like, I'm just here to protect women.
And that's all right.
And then she started to yell.
She started to use some very heavy language.
She started to actually cuss.
And I was very shocked that there was that there were a lot of kids
and there were a lot of teenagers was at that game.
And I just cannot believe that she was just cussing
and using those F-bombs in front of all these kids.
Very classy.
By the way, in the video, what we saw for the listening audience was
she was reacting to him being in the crowd.
She seemed to be saying something to him.
And then he just stood up with his arms out, almost like Jesus-like, and just stood there.
He wasn't threatening her.
He wasn't like coming down, clamoring to get at her.
He was standing there with his arms out, kind of like,
OK, here I am, take your best shot, rhetorically speaking.
Now, here's Kendra Freedom on getting kicked out of the game.
Then after that, the security guy came.
And then I was like, listen, you need to leave.
I was like, can you please tell me why do I need to leave?
They said, look, you just need to leave.
And then they literally, I don't want to say they dragged me,
but they pretty much pushed me to leave the gym.
And then after that, I had a conversation with the police officers, which I respect a lot.
You know, I was like, listen, I was just there to protect women.
It's not allowed.
We disapprove.
It's have at women in the WNBA.
You can try to kill Caitlyn Clark, Sophie Cunningham.
When you get ejected for doing it, they'll tweet white privilege,
and people will be on their side.
The assaulters, anybody who stands up for women will become persona non grata
and be fair game for these flagrant fouls or get ejected from the game
or get harassed by coaches.
We've seen young, young women show up in the XXXY Athletics
shirts made by Jennifer Say, get berated, harassed.
You wear a shirt that reads women, adult human females.
You get kicked out.
In this case, this cloud, super tough to get Ennis freedom thrown out like he was coming for her.
No, it was the other way around.
She did not speak after the game.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time, but she did post on threads, quote,
To every trans kid slash person, you are a part of my community and tribe.
You belong.
You're loved.
You're seen.
You're perfect as you are.
Hello.
That's what our side has been saying.
You're perfect as you are.
You don't have to cut off your penis.
You don't have to cut off your breasts.
You're perfect as you are.
God doesn't make mistakes.
And she goes on, you will always be protected by me.
Oh, you're so tough.
How about protecting the young girls who actually don't have that many protectors out there?
How about them?
You're going to protect everybody.
How about them?
And here's what her coach, Tyler Marsh, had to say.
I haven't talked to Tash.
I know that she was, um, well, I talked to the team and, um, you know, um, you know,
Tash didn't want to feel like she was a distraction.
I told her she wasn't.
Um, I told her that we all embrace her as someone that protects our, our team.
And protects people that need to be protected.
And so Tash is going to stand on that.
And we stand for Tash.
Oh, do little girls need to be protected?
What about them?
Does she stand for them?
Asking for the little girls of America.
Tasha, I love how much you want to stand up for people who need it.
That's wonderful.
How about the little girls?
How about the girls who play basketball who are getting punched in the stomach
and thrown to the ground so badly that they have injuries that are game-ending?
Do we stand for that?
Huh?
I'll wait.
Coach Marsh also took a shot at Canter Freedom.
Because, of course.
There's so much good things about this league.
And so many good things about the play of these players.
That if you come to a game, you should probably come to enjoy the basketball.
And, um, that seems pretty simple to me.
I think these players deserve that and have earned that.
And being a former basketball player, you should probably understand and feel that too.
Yes.
He's there to support them.
He wants to be recruited to join them.
That's how supportive he is.
He wants to play alongside them, coach.
You should recruit him.
The girls on your team clearly don't mind.
Tasha is saying she's all in favor of it.
Go.
Don't be dumb.
You can get Canter Freedom on your team this year.
And then Tasha will have an ally in her trans battle.
Kaitlyn Clark says she didn't see the confrontation.
Oh, of course.
She's never paying attention to anything that happens in her league.
And her coach, Stephanie White.
Remember Stephanie White?
Banging on the table.
When they go low, we go high.
We're going to lead with kindness.
Go to hell.
Remember that, Stephanie White?
She urged the media not to cover it.
Watch.
To be honest, I didn't see it.
We were talking about it the next play in our huddle.
So I think that's probably a question for Chicago.
You know, you guys at any point again?
Just have to ask about having to deal with this again in another game as you guys are
getting done playing a great basketball game.
But another time we're talking about this and not what's happening on the court.
I mean, I think it's important that people like you guys in this room don't give it any
don't give it any gas, right?
Like it's a social media thing.
It is true that it would be nice just to be able to talk about the game, I guess.
I mean, for the four people who are watching it.
Clark scored 37 points.
She hit a career high 8-3 pointers and handed out 10 assists in the Fever's 113-90 win.
Too bad everyone hates her league.
But it's hard to focus on the sport when last week the Toronto Tempo pulled the following
stunt.
They debuted a new mascot, a non-binary something.
What is that?
I don't know what it is.
It's a snapping turtle, I guess, named Des who uses she, they pronouns.
All right.
So that's one of their own teams in their league.
So I think Stephanie needs to call her fellow coaches and teams and say, we're either not
going to make this a spectacle or we are.
Stephanie is the one who held a whole presser about herself two weeks ago.
This is, it's not the media making this a story.
It's her ridiculous players and coaches and herself.
