Yes! It is happening. The first Dude in the WNBA?

At the very least he should have dressed up like Juwanna Mann. Dude totally blew a golden opportunity there.

The only Enos's that should be in the WNBA. Every night could be $5 Coors!

And another one! Hilarious neither even bothered to shave their beards..

[D-train]

Will there be a single WNBA owner that cares more about winning than politics. Probably not but it would be awesome!

Not very far along the "transitioning" journey, it appears. Let's all get outraged!

Neither was Lia Thomas!!! Probably would have had a beard too if it didn't cause drag (pardont the pun) in the water while swimming!

According to Wikipedia, "Thomas began transitioning using hormone replacement therapy in May 2019, and came out as a trans woman during her junior year to her coaches, friends, and the women's and men's swim teams at the University of Pennsylvania.[2][4] She was required to swim for the men's team in the 2019–2020 academic year as a junior while undergoing hormone therapy and then swam on the women's team in 2021–2022 after taking a year off school to maintain her eligibility to compete while competitive swimming was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4][15] By 2021, she had met the NCAA hormone therapy requirements to swim on the women's team.[16]

"Thomas lost muscle mass and strength through testosterone suppression and hormone replacement therapy. Her time for the 500 freestyle is over 15 seconds slower than her personal bests before medically transitioning."

If it matters, I am against men who have gone through puberty competing in women's sports. But apparently the NCAA rules were different in 2021. I don't see anything about these two guys doing anything close to what she did.

The irony in all of this, is if these guys, ahem, ladies, actually joined the league - it would probably be huge for viewership and visibility. You'd have the protesting, for sure, but you now would have a travelling circus - people would pay to see that. It would probably be the best thing to happen to the league - and no I am not joking. Just think about it. I love it when I see "WNBA coverage" on the front page of ESPN - Disney still pretending anyone actually gives a shit - NO ONE does. This would actually make it relevant - for a moment in time at least. Would not surprise me if this was a publicity stunt - think-tanked by the 'league' and marketing. Seriously. It's so absurd - yet kinda brilliant.

I highly doubt this (league-created publicity stunt speculation). And it's not true that "no one gives a shit." Average attendance is over 10,000 for more than half the teams. These are serious, dedicated athletes. "Men" deciding that they want to play in a women's league, and simply being accepted as a way to get ratings, would be against everything the WNBA has built.

If there is a publicity stunt, it's on the part of these two guys. Get your name out there, get some clicks on your social media, and feed the outrage machine.
