- Freedom was ejected after a confrontation involving Natasha Cloud.
- He said he attended to support and protect women’s sport.

## Summary

Megan Rapinoe criticised Enes Kanter Freedom after he was ejected from a Chicago Sky–Indiana Fever game, dismissing his claim that he was there to “protect women” as insincere. She described people who oppose transgender women’s participation in women’s sport as “bad-faith actors” and argued that the growing popularity of women’s leagues had made them targets for political attacks.

Freedom was removed during the third quarter after Chicago’s Natasha Cloud reacted towards him from the court and he stood up and moved in her direction; Sky officials said security and police considered him a threat and later barred him from the arena. Freedom said Cloud had made a remark about Fever player Sophie Cunningham and maintained that he had attended to support women’s sport, while Rapinoe said his presence showed online disputes were increasingly spilling into live sporting events.
