The WNBA has apparently decided Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White aren’t eligible to play in the league.Now it needs to say, on the record, how it reached that decision.WNBA SILENT AFTER CAITLIN CLARK SAYS LEAGUES SHOULD DETERMINE WHO SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN WOMEN’S SPORTSFront Office Sports reported Monday that unnamed league sources said Freedom and White, two former NBA players who have declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft, are ineligible. The sources also called their declarations “simply publicity stunts” and said the league would not give oxygen to efforts intended to mock it or demean others.Fine.What makes them ineligible?That’s the only question that matters, and the WNBA still won’t answer it.The WNBA’s answer only creates more questionsFreedom and White are obviously making a point. Nobody thinks either man is seriously preparing to spend next season trying to earn a WNBA roster spot.But calling it a stunt doesn’t make the point go away.The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement says only players who are women are eligible to play in the league. As the FOS report itself acknowledges, the CBA does not define “woman” or include language about “gender identity” or “sex assigned at birth.”That’s a problem for the WNBA, and it’s…

The U.S. Space Force Honor Guard donned the updated ceremonial service dress uniform in the nation’s capital over the weekend.On Sunday, the guard debuted the new ensemble at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., according to a Friday release.“The public will now be able to immediately recognize us as Guardians and key members of America’s warfighting capabilities,” Chief Master Sgt.

It turns out Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson doesn’t feel so great about the idea of playing “17 away games” after all, so he opened his press conference on Monday addressing his comments aimed at the team’s fans and offered something of an apology.Sort of.Probably more an explanation.DESHAUN WATSON FIRES BACK AT BROWNS FANS AFTER HE’S BOOED AT HOMEWhatever it was, once Watson was selected the team’s starting quarterback on Monday morning, he got the message that ripping the fan base is not such a good idea – even if they booed him before, during and after he played in Saturday’s preseason game. “First off, I want to address the comments from Saturday after the game,” Watson said to begin his presser. “I think just human nature and myself being very emotional, putting a lot of time these last two years to get back, spend time in this facility, in the city, meeting a lot of different people in the community, I thought I was going to get a little different response.”But I think my emotions got the best of me, and my comments weren’t intended to go at any of the fans around the city, because there’s been a…

Alanna Rizzo is one of the foremost authorities on Major League Baseball. This week, she joined OutKick for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of the sport, the Dodgers, a potential lockout and various pop culture topics.Rizzo also has two stepdaughters. When asked about the ongoing debate over transgender athletes in female sports, she provided the perspective of someone with seemingly no interest in scoring points in the culture war.”I believe everybody should have a right to be who they are, want to be who they are, be in a safe space, be protected, and feel that they can talk about things and have their own opinion on things,” Rizzo told OutKick.”But when it comes to physical space, especially for young girls and young women who may not have the resources, fortitude, or physical ability to protect themselves, I’m not saying that people are going in there and attacking them. But I grew up in sports my entire life. “I would have been very uncomfortable with a male in my space.
