Enes Kanter comes out saying he's announcing that he's going to the WNBA, and he kind of did one of those things that I won't take my talents to the WNBA. He makes this video, he texts me, he's like, Pat, check this out. Funny as hell, go and play this clip.
You know, he's ready for it, he does this.

**Enes Kanter Freedom** (0:45)
After careful consideration and review of the current eligibility guidelines, I am 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.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:03)
So he does this. By the way, can you show how many views this got? I think it's very important to say, imagine you make a clip. How much of a reason why video goes viral has to do with the content? How much does it have to do with the timing of it? You ready?
This video got 254,000 likes, and it got 48 million views, 16,000 comments in a span of a couple of days, day and a half, right? Then Royce White, is it Royce White?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:33)
We had him on the podcast before. You have to play that video.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:35)
He plays.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:36)
Did you see his video?

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:37)
Play Royce White's video.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:39)
Please make sure you do the right, no, no, no, no, no.
Play the one where he's in a wig. I think Alex Jones posted it. He's in a wig. He's got, guys, he's transitioning. Let's back up a second.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:48)
Adam, let him live.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:49)
It's true. Don't try to make fun of him on this podcast. You have to see the video in the wig.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:52)
If you find it, put the one in the wig.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:53)
You're going to find it.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:54)
Anyway, so he posted up that he's also going. And eventually, right afterwards, is this the one?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:03)
It's right afterwards.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:04)
He's so ugly as a wig.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:05)
Right afterwards, guess what gets in? WNBA leadership announces they're having an emergency meeting to discuss what they're going to be doing with the W and WNBA. We have to identify what it is. Literally, they put a task force together to discuss the growing drama around transgender athletes because they got humiliated.
They got humiliated by not taking a position. All they have to do is, Vinny, make a position at the top to say where they stand, and it would have been done with. But every single time you're hearing Kaitlyn Clark in interviews, like, can we just talk basketball? Can we just talk basketball? Can we just talk basketball? And then while this is going on, Sophia Cunningham, if I'm saying her name correctly, Sophia Cunningham, she's going in for a layup. And I want you to see this, guys.
Watch this here, boom! Obviously, the girl with the- In the face. In the face. In the face. She's going for the ball, guys. That's an innocent foul. Some people call this a flagrant, too. She got kicked out of the game. The most impressive thing about this foul is the following. Let it go for two more seconds.
Guess what? Sophie makes the shot.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:14)
Oh, good. That's an L1, baby.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:15)
People forget the fact that she make- That's the most important thing. She makes the flipping shot.
And one. And so she gets up, goes in her face, and then what does the girl tweet right afterwards? She tweets right afterwards that this foul- You ready for this? She tweets, it's white privilege, Indiana fever. No doubt. White privilege on what's going on here. So, Adam, I'll come to you first, and you're a big fan of WNBA. So for you, what do you think got them to the point of saying, we have to have this conversation? And do you actually believe the WNBA is going to come out and do the same thing that the WTA did? The World Tennis Association, I believe it is, for women.
