00:00Women, how come you didn't write in your language those born female?

00:07How come you didn't make that clear?

00:12Because if you were born a female, even if you're transitioning to being a female,

00:16because you weren't born a female, that would make you ineligible to enter the WNBA.

00:21Why didn't you do that?

00:22Otherwise, you're going to have cats six feet eight with goatees walking in your league

00:28or claiming they're going to walk in your league.

00:30You can deny them entry.

00:32You can refuse to draft them.

00:33But you're going to open yourself up to potential legal action

00:36until you clarify what the hell is going on.

00:39Player eligibility is collectively bargained,

00:41meaning this is also an issue involving the WNBA Players Association,

00:45not simply a unilateral decision for the commissioner, Kathy Engelbert,

00:49which means that, yes, the league office should have done more.

00:53But the Players Association, you got to get on top of it.

00:58We got to talk about the WNBA once again

01:01because, of course, they are finding themselves in some more drama

01:04that has nothing to do with basketball

01:07because, yeah, ain't really a whole lot of basketball to be talked about.

01:12But anyway, as you heard there with Stephen A. Smith,

01:16they are now finding themselves in a legal conundrum

01:20because Ines Cantor has been threatening some legal action

01:25due to some of the things that have come out more recently.

01:29But before we get into the meat and potatoes,

01:30I have this clip from none other than former NBA player Charles Barkley,

01:36who is a raving Democrat.

01:39I mean, I've heard lots of things from Charles Barkley,

01:45and he most certainly seems like a Democrat to me, okay?

01:49But in this clip today, he actually says some common sense,

01:55which is rare from Democrats today.

01:57And I want to play it because the clip is going absolutely viral

02:00across the internet right now.

02:02So here's that clip, and then we're going to get into the meat and potatoes

02:05with Ines Cantor and Sean Hannity.

02:08Check it out.

02:09I always support the gay community.

02:13I always support the transgender community.

02:16I got love and respect for gay people and transgender people.

02:20But under no circumstances do I think men should play against women.

02:26Zero.

02:27I'm disappointed in Adam Silver and Kathy, the commissioner.

02:33First of all, you can't let stupid stuff go out to the internet,

02:37which is one of the worst things that ever happened to the world.

02:39They should have come out two weeks ago before all this.

02:42Like, the people are looking for attention now.

02:45Including this guy.

02:46But he has a point, though.

02:48Because Kathy and Adam haven't said, hey, it's in the title, WNBA.

02:54We're not going to have transgender people in the WNBA,

02:57and we're not going to discuss it again.

02:59That's what Adam and Kathy should have done two or three weeks ago

03:02before they turned it over to the internet and every fool, idiot,

03:05and jackass to have an opinion on.

03:07Adam.

03:09Adam should come out and Kathy.

03:11I like both of them a lot.

03:13Women can own.

03:14There's no transgender people going to play in the WNBA.

03:18If you don't like it, kick rocks.

03:20And we're not going to discuss it anymore.

03:23And Ennis is trying to get attention.

03:25Because, listen, if he did all the operation things, no, we're not doing that either.

03:32The WNBA is for women.

03:34And, listen, this is the last time we're going to discuss it.

03:38We're not going to turn it over to the fools on the internet.

03:40We're not going to turn it over to Congress and think that the WNBA is for women only, period.

03:46And we're not going to discuss it again.

04:16I agree.

04:19Hey, yo.

04:21I'm just imagining a scenario where, like, the Indiana Fever with Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham signed him.

04:28Hey, listen.

04:29Listen, listen, I would pay to watch those games.

04:36I would pay.

04:38Okay, listen.

04:40If Ennis Cantor and Royce White both joined, like, the Indiana Fever, or even one of them did it, I

04:48would pay to watch those games.

04:50Genuinely, I would pay to watch, because it would be hilarious to watch them just dominate, even with double teams

04:57and triple teams.

05:01I would be laughing my behind off.

05:05Man, that would be hilarious.

05:06But, hey, listen, the WNBA would make a lot of money in that scenario.

05:10Guarantee it.

05:10But let's get into the meat and potatoes of this whole video.

05:14And that is Ennis Cantor speaking with Sean Hannity, not only about this entire situation, but potentially about some legal

05:22action.

05:23Check it out.

05:24Freedom is here with more.

05:25All right.

05:26I've looked at the tape.

05:28I wasn't there, but I looked at it.

05:29I looked at it very closely.

05:30And what I see was late in the third quarter, Chicago Sky player Natasha Cloud turned from the court.

05:37From what I could see, she approached you, seemed to be yelling at you, cursing at you, is what the

05:43reports I've read.

05:44What happened?

05:45So, thank you for having me, brother.

05:47So, at the end of the third quarter, right, they put Sophie Kahn in, which was my friend.

05:54She shot at three.

05:55I literally put my hand up in the air to celebrate it.

05:58The next position, Natasha Cloud came back and said, she's not going to sleep with you.

06:03Literally, as soon as I heard that, I turned around to my manager.

06:06I'm like, did she really said that?

06:07The next position, she came back.

06:09I was like, I'm not here to sleep with her.

06:11I'm actually trying to support my friend.

06:14And then the next position, obviously, she came back.

06:17She started using a lot of F-bombs.

06:20The sad thing is, there were a lot of kids on the stand.

06:22And she's actually loved by the Chicago fans.

06:25So, that was unacceptable.

06:26I literally simply got out and put my hand up in the air.

06:29I was like, listen, I'm here to protect women and support my friend, Sophie Cunningham.

06:34And then they threw him out of the game.

06:36You know, all you're asking for, which I find interesting, is you want a refund of your ticket.

06:41Now, if you look at, according to WNBA, any physical or verbal altercation with a fan

06:48is treated as conduct detrimental to the game.

06:51And they have the authority, the WNBA office holds the authority to issue heavy fines or

06:57multi-game suspensions for players who cross the line in berating or cursing spectators.

07:05Yet, she only got support from her coach.

07:08I don't see the WNBA doing a thing.

07:11I would argue that you probably have a case of discrimination against the WNBA.

07:17Number one, for being kicked out.

07:19Number two, for being banned.

07:20And maybe the message, if that owner is going to respond that way and compare you to a shooter,

07:26what's your reaction to him?

07:27Will you now consider maybe further legal action?

07:30You know, Sean, I played 11 years basketball in the NBA, and I know the rules.

07:34I simply got to put my up in the air.

07:36And I did not cross over the baseline or sideline, and we're not allowed to touch any players,

07:43obviously, the fans.

07:45So I didn't break any rules.

07:47So for them to come out and throw me out of the game and literally, you know, they said

07:53his actions was equal to shooting a gun, I just cannot believe it.

07:57I don't know who is his PR person, but they're doing a terrible job.

08:01So we might be looking into a lawsuit for sure, because this is unacceptable, and this

08:07is not what a sportsmanship looked like.

08:09Natasha Collat should be the one that's thrown out of the game or get fined.

08:13We wrote to, you know, commissioner and the task force.

08:16We are waiting for them to hear back, but this is just unacceptable.

08:20This is not what a sportsmanship looked like.

08:22So we'll just wait to see what happens.

08:25And they actually have a...

08:28I think he most certainly should seek, you know, bringing about a lawsuit, because this

08:33has just gotten absolutely crazy, right?

08:35There's rumors that the WNBA has banned, you know, Ines Cantor from participating in the

08:44sport, which that makes no sense, because according to their rules, this guy on your screen should

08:50be able to play, or this lady, whatever, should be able to play.

08:56No issues.

08:56You know, according to their, you know, rules and regulations, there should be nothing stopping

09:04him from being able to play.

09:05And yet, you know, you get all this pushback, and why was he kicked out of the stadium?

09:12Or out of the arena?

09:13Whatever you want to call it.

09:14Why was he kicked out?

09:15What?

09:15Because he stood up?

09:16Lots of people stand up.

09:18He wasn't even the aggressor in this situation, nor did he actually walk onto the court.

09:22Uh, he was on the baseline, but not actually on the actual playing court, uh, itself, which

09:28a lot of people, I don't know if you guys have ever watched basketball.

09:31Uh, I know some of them, some of us, uh, refuse to watch basketball these days because

09:36of how woke it's gotten.

09:37But, uh, you know, people walk across the baseline all the time.

09:41Spectators do, right?

09:42So I don't think that's, um, you know, against anything or illegal in any kind of way.

09:49People walk there all the time.

09:51He didn't step onto the court, nor did he, you know, assault anyone or anything like

09:55that.

09:56He was sitting there minding his business, and she started yelling at him, cursing at

10:00him, in front of little kids at that.

10:02So, I don't get it.

10:05This seems like, um, you know, some hate going towards him.

10:09But, y'all let me know what you think.

10:11WNBA fan code of conduct as well.

10:13A spectator, by the way, uh, should be issued a warning for any alleged violation before being

10:19forced to leave the game.

10:21Exactly.

10:22Were you issued a warning?

10:23I read you were not issued a warning.

10:24Is that true?

10:25Not at all.

10:26Not at all.

10:27Listen, they threw me out of the game immediately.

10:29And when I say, listen, I didn't say, I didn't even cuss at her.

10:31I just, uh, literally was there to just support my, uh, friend.

10:36It just, they know they're in the corner right now.

10:38They know what they did wrong.

10:40So, uh, we're definitely going to, uh, look in some, uh, lawsuit and see, uh, what happens.

10:45But, uh, it's just sad to see the older kids out there had to see Natasha Cloud dropping

10:52F-bombs and acting, uh, wild.

10:55But, uh, I just hope that she can, uh, check herself.

10:58Is there any truth to the report we had earlier this week, ESPN reporting, that in fact the

11:04WNBA told you or got in contact with you?

11:08They were reporting that, uh, sources were telling them, uh, that in fact you are not

11:14going to be eligible for the draft next year.

11:16Have you heard anything official?

11:17No, please do not believe those, uh, news because they're all fake news.

11:21Um, the NBA commissioner or the task force or the WNBA itself did not, uh, contact with

11:27us or we didn't hear anything official.

11:29Uh, listen, I'm not, I'm a peacemaker.

11:30I'm not a troublemaker and I'm very easy person to deal with.

11:33If they ever have, you know, uh, some kind of issue, please come and talk to me.

11:38And listen, we're not asking anything, uh, difficult.

11:41All we asking is article 13, right?

11:43Section one says, if you identify as a woman, you're allowed to play.

11:47So if they tomorrow, tomorrow they can come up and add the word biological next to the

11:52female, I will drop everything immediately.

11:54But till then I am allowed to play.

11:57I shall be polite and I will be getting ready for the 2027, uh, WNBA draft.

12:01Well, it would be very entertaining.

12:03I hope the Indiana fear will pick you up.

12:05You could be playing with Caitlin Clark and with, uh, Sophie Cunningham.

12:09Um, that would be good for WNBA ticket sales.

12:12I'll tell you that.

12:13I think it would be, uh, uh, if I owned one of those teams, I'd be, I'd be drafting you

12:18in a, I know, a heartbeat.

12:19Um, I think it'd be pretty interesting to watch.

12:21All right, last question, odds that you will sue them and will it be.

12:26Yeah.

12:27And I, I spoke about that earlier.

12:29Ticket sales would absolutely go through the roof, go through the roof.

12:33Whenever the Indiana fever played and Ines Cantor and Royce Wright were on the court, man,

12:38those tickets would go for a premium stadiums packed, breaking records to watch these two

12:46fellas dominate.

12:48Hey, oh man, that would be hilarious.

12:54It's so, so entertaining, so entertaining, you know, and, uh, it would get rid of this

13:01nonsense, right?

13:02Uh, absolute nonsense.

13:04But, you know, until then, I guess we shall, uh, dream.

13:09For a significant amount of money, considering you are, in my view, uh, I think you will have

13:15a very strong discrimination case.

13:18Oh, for sure.

13:19But the thing is, WNBA loses $50 million every year.

13:22So I don't want to bring a lawsuit and make the things even worse for the players because

13:27I actually care about the players.

13:28So I think in this case, Kathy Engelbert, the commissioner and the task force of which

13:33she's been hiding behind, needs to do a better job running this whole league.

13:38Well, maybe you can go after Chicago and the owner of Chicago that, you know, made this

13:43ridiculous analogy about a gun.

13:46Yep.

13:46No, no, for sure.

13:47We're definitely, with Chicago cases different, we're definitely looking for a lawsuit if

13:51they don't come out and apologize from us.

13:54Okay.

13:55How many days are you going to give them?

13:56I read five.

13:57Uh, we, we asked for five business days.

13:59So let's see what they say.

14:01All right.

14:02And it's Cantor Freedom.

14:03All right.

14:04Thanks for watching.

14:05Check out my new podcast.

14:06Hanging out.

14:08Yeah.

14:09I hope he puts the pressure on him, you know, and deservedly so.

14:13I would, I would love to see it.

14:14I would love to, uh, you know, watch them get backed into a corner because I mean, it's

14:20either let him play or get sued, you know?

14:25And if you let him play, well, then he's about to dominate the league.

14:29He's about to absolutely dominate.

14:32And it's going to, it's going to make these women out here that we're saying, oh yeah,

14:36men can play, blah, blah, blah.

14:38There's no, there's no advantage.

14:39It's going to make them look real silly when he's averaging 50 a game.

14:47You're going to be real silly.

14:48And if they don't, and if they refuse, right, of course, obviously you got lawsuits, but then

14:54of course, uh, you know, if they don't want the lawsuit, they can just make it clear, make

14:59it clear, which as you heard from Charles Barkley, as you heard from Stephen A.

15:03Smith, this should have been done a long time ago.

15:05This shouldn't even be a discussion.

15:07This should have been like, oh yeah, you guys are right.

15:09Let's, let's, let's fix that real quick.

15:11But because we live in a society where, you know, nobody wants to step on anybody else's

15:16toes and you got to tiptoe around and you got the part, we, we, we live in a participation

15:22trophy culture and I hate it.

15:25I hate it.

15:26You know, I really do.

15:28This whole, everybody's got to win.

15:30Everybody's got to have their feelings accounted for.

15:32Like bro, that's so weak.

15:34It's so weak.

15:35You know, goodness gracious.

15:38Anyway, y'all get into the comments.

15:40Let me know your thoughts and your opinions as always.

15:41Stay safe out there.

15:42Peace and love.

15:43I'm out.
