Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink is attacking former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom, labeling him “a stupid piece of s—t” and dismissing his challenge to WNBA eligibility rules as manufactured clickbait targeting a “vulnerable community.”
Speaking after practice to reporter Jarrod Castillo of The Mirror, Brink said she views transgender issues in the league as a “non-issue” and accused Freedom of trying to stay relevant by coming after the trans community.
“For me personally, when it comes to the trans issues I believe you’re talking about, I think it’s a non-issue and it’s people trying to just come for the trans community, and I just don’t stand for that,” Brink said. “I don’t know what the f— his name is, Enes Kanter, like he’s a stupid piece of s—t.”
“I think people are tuned in [to the WNBA] for the right reasons,” Brink added. “It’s great that we can all talk about things that are important and hard, and you can have your opinions on that, but I think taking something that’s like a non-issue right now and trying to use it for clickbait, for views, for likes, and then targeting a vulnerable community is just really low.”
Brink has previously spoken in support of teammates with they/them pronouns.
“Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns. I want to bring more acceptance to that and not just have people support us because of the way that we look,” Brink told Uproxx in 2024.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the WNBA recently declared both Freedom and fellow former NBA player Royce White ineligible for the draft after they announced they identify as women and formally entered the 2027 draft process.
League insiders called the declarations publicity stunts designed to mock the organization.
Freedom was also escorted out of a Chicago Sky game on Sunday after a heated verbal exchange with guard Natasha Cloud while wearing a shirt defining “woman” as an adult human female.
The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement states that only players who are women are eligible, though it contains no further definition of sex or gender identity.
While the WNBA has avoided issuing a public policy on transgender eligibility, its rejection of Kanter Freedom and White’s declarations effectively draws a line against adult men entering the women’s league under self-identification.
