8-10: Here's How Caitlyn & Sophie Should Deal With The WNBA: Leave · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Colored me as surprised as anybody to talk about the
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: WNBA again two days in a row through the weekend,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: because first of all, it's an incredibly slow news period.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It just is. But secondly, I think I would anyway,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: because this is, as I've said before, such an incredibly
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: stupid organization that cannot get out of its own way.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: There were some awesome stuff that happened over the weekend
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: you probably read now. I thought it was great that
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: a French trans player says he wants to play. That
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: was great enough. We talked about that on Friday, but
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: then it got better over the weekend. Two former actual
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: NBA players have declared themselves eligible to play in the WNBA.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Now that's beautiful, but here's a real message because the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: other story that happened with this ridiculous league is another
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: one of their star players, the one that's been most
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in the news recently, just absolutely got attacked on the court.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Not a normal foul, you know, a closed line kind
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of foul. And the response from the league was so
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: incredibly tone deaf that it just deserves a response. But
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: here's how you do it. Like with anybody, you me,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: anybody else, you get if you are a star performer
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in any organization anything, sports, sales, the law, entertainment, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you get treated by crap because of that. What do
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you do? You leave? And that's exactly what Caitlin Clark
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and Sophie Cunningham should do and let that stupid league
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: wither away back to obscurity like it was before. That's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: what they should do. Anyway, we'll get to it. It
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: might be the last time we talked about the WNBA,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: but whatever, let's get to it. Extra find of the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Wicked radio livestream and replay x YouTube, Facebook full audio
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: podcast after the live stream. Okay, let's get to the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: main deal and the main thing. What happened. I guess
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we'll kind of go in order of event, in order
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of events. This was great. This was awesome. Like I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: said on Friday, we were talking about the French trans
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: player who declared himself eligible to play. That was an
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: awesome statement. That that wasn't enough to get the WNBA
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to respond to anything though, so but this did. Then
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you how this is great. Let's go to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and he's not the only one. Enus Freedom Canter former
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: NBA player a journeyman played for a bunch of different
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: teams declaring himself eligible, and his reasoning is excellent. Went
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: through the actual guidelines of what's required to be a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: player in the WNBA, and he says, hey, I meet
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: them all because this stupid league with the name woman
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in its name defany can't define what a woman is anyway.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: This is his press conference, but he wasn't the only one.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the other guy here in a second too.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: After careful concentration, I review in the current eligibility guidelines,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. Yes, it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: simply the declaring who you are is all that's required.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: That I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the WNBA. My CIM and I have carefully examined the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: di giopolitic criteria and governing framework surrounded self identification and inclusion.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I love that you fit inclusion in there. Enus freedom
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: canter good for him? Now He's not the only one.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: There was also another. By the way, Enus is U
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: six ten two fifty. How's that kind of go Also
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Royce White, another former NBA player six eight two sixty.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: He's declaring himself eligible too, and they're both getting a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: lot of press coverage on this on all networks, which
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: has been interesting to see. So that was awesome. That
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: was great to see. That's even better. I didn't think
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: anything would be better than the French trans player who
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: says I can play, I want to play. That was great,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: But then I guess we'll we'll take it in the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: timeline here. But then this is what really gets to it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: This is how you respond to an organization that treats
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you like crap as a star player. And remember keep
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in mind this applies to anybody. This would be sure
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: an athlete, but an entertainer, broadcaster, a lawyer. Let's say
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you're a lawyer, right and you brought in the most cases,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you won the most money for the firm. Because of that,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: because of jealousy who you are, they treat you like
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: absolute garbage. What would you do? You'd leave, You'd wiggle
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: out of your contract, you'd leave, you're no compete, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you would start your own firm. That's how it happens.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: If you're a chef and you are a star chef
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and they love you, your clientele loves you, but they
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: treat you like garbage. Time and time again, worse than
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the other ships. What do you do? You leave and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you start your own restaurant. This is how we've gotten
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: some of our most famous chefs. Just for an example. Well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: if you're two star WNBA players and because of your fame,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and say it, because of your racial makeup. Yep,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm saying it. That's a factor too. You
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: are treated and allowed to be treated like garbage time
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and time again. What do you do? You leave? This
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: is what Sophie Cunningham now and Caitlin Clark should do. Leave,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: start your own little league. Do you know how big
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a little three on three tournament league would be for
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: those two? How huge that would be for ratings? It
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: would be massive. Leave and let that stupid organization wither
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: away and die back into obscurity like it was before
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: they came along. That's what they should do. And you're thinking, well,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they have contracts they owed. I wouldn't worry about that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are plenty of attorneys in this country
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: who would love to make names for themselves who would
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: be able to get them out of their ridiculous contracts.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. But anyway, here's the final nail in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: coffin for that stupid league. So this is Sophie Cunningham,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: as we know, previously made headlines for daring to defend
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: girls in sports and simply saying, and it had nothing
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to do with the WNBA, simply said, I don't think
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: young girls should have to compete with boys. It's not fair.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That's all she said. Oh that was enough to create
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: such a controversy. And then because of who she is
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and her notoriety, this is what happens over the weekend.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: She gets I'm calling it attacked. Fay is coming down
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: trying to prevent the layup. But that is just a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: hard hit. That's definitely going to be upgraded I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: to a flavorant too, Ryan, I think that is going
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to be a play grin too. They're sorry for you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: audio only listeners. And if you haven't seen the clip,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: she was absolutely closelined. That's not a not a normal
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: basketball play. It's just not And you're thinking, well, it
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: happens all the time. You see that all about hard foul.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's no, no, that's not that's not a hard foul.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: So the player that did it to her, Djona Carrington,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that's right, you heard that, right, d Jone Carrington, a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: girl named after the combination of mustard and mayonnaise. Djona,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: this is what will tell you that it's not just
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a normal, everyday foul from the locker room as she's from,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: as they know, from the locker room as she's ejected.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Takes the clip of that because it was all over
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: ESPN immediately and posts under it under the caption white privilege. Right, Yeah,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: that's just a normal foul. Yeah, white privilege because she
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: got thrown out of the game after close lining Sophie
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: cut again, right. But it's a long pattern. If you're
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: not aware, and I know that you're probably not. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like I said, I never expected to talk about the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: WNBA so much. Is a long history of this thing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It started with how they treat Sophie. I mean, excuse me,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark, a star, the golden goose that has fallen
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in the lap of the WNBA, an absolute complete star
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that is allowed to not get special treatment, get special
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: treatment the other way where she's allowed to be absolutely
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: attacked physically and through the press in the game afterwards.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: This is that same Sophie Cunningham talking about how she's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: treated time and time again in an earlier podcast interview,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: just to show you the backgroun.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Well, so during real time last night, I did not
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: see that happen, and like I don't none of our
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: teams all happened because I promise you if that if
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we would have seen that happen, we would have had
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: her back. Unfortunately, this type of shit happens every single
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: game to her, and the league and the refs do
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: absolutely nothing about it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: It's been a minute, that's months ago. It might have
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: been from last season. I'm not too sure it happens
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: all the time. Why, Oh, it's just a hard fall
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: younger players in the league, right right. If you believe that,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you really don't understand exactly what's happening here. Here's a defunct,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: idiotic league that is so pathetically afraid of offending the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: woke mob that they will not protect their star players
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: simply because of exactly what Dejona Carrington wrote and posted
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. White privilege. That's what you have there,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But it gets worse. You want proof, here's your imagine this,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: here's your coach. Here's your coach. After the game of
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the press conference with a couple of players one of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: whom was Caitlin Clark defending the player that did it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: If you don't understand that she is just absolutely captured
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and afraid of offending the woke mob. You don't understand anything.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You got clotheslined, you have a bloody face. After this
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: entire thing, it's already come out that the player that
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: did it is writing white privilege from the locker room.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Here's your coach has your back. No, the exact god,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: she's gonna play her butt off. Man, she's gonna compete.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to go walking in for a layup. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: so I don't oppose the hard foul. But I also
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: don't think that she intentionally went with the name. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: don't oppose the hard foul. No, why is that? Because
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you're afraid, you're afraid of offending, You're afraid, you're afraid
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: of becoming the story yourself. That's what's happening, and it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: been happening, as everybody knows now, in the worst possible way.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: They always like to tell you. For any sports league,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, bad publicity is great publicity, and they're
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: still playing the highlights. Not this time, No, no, no,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: no that no, Because everybody is waking up to exactly
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: what this is. It's an absolutely completely ignorant sports league
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: that is the worst run probably in the history of
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: any league that's ever come into professional sports. It's it's
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a joke. A league that actually has women in its
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: name in the WNBA, and they can't even figure that out.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: So they have all kinds of problems that they brought
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: onto themselves. Now, the first of great news is this.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to Enus Freedom Canter six ten two
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: fifty and Royce White six A two sixty, former NBA
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: players declaring themselves eligible for the WNBA. This is before
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the Sophie Cunningham incident. Here's the result of this. This
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: is why you have to fight back against organizations in
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: one way. I'll read the headline just to make sure
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I have it right. This is from Polymarket, who got
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: a hold of this memo ahead of everybody else, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it's it turned out to be exactly right. WNBA commissioner
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: announces the league is now meeting to review what a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: woman is after former NBA stars announced plans to join
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the league. Well, we have a Supreme Court justice who
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: couldn't define what a woman is. How are they expected to.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: They're in a pickle either way. You understand this, right,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: we should if they come out and they just and
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: they come out with some sort of a statement where
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: they actually have to put a think tag together and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: define what a woman is, and the woke mob is
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: going to be even more upset with them. If they
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: don't do it. Then you've got the rest of the nation,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: which is ninety percent of us with common sense, that say,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: this is ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous. League they can't
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: even figure out what a woman is, then they're even
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: worse off that way. They're in a piccoli the way.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But the bottom line of the takeaway, and this is
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: what we can all learn from this. If you're a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: star player, and I know you are, in your organization,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: your school, your law firm, your restaurant, your company, your show,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: whatever you do in your life, and because of that,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: because of petty, rotten jealousy, you're treated like crap, What
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: do you do? It's the natural order of life. What
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: do you do? You leave and do your own thing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And my god, I hope Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and maybe there's another star or two leave that stupid
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: league and let it wither away and melt and just
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: rot away into obscurity, back to where it came from,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: back to where it was before they came along. That's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: what you do. That's the takeaway. That's how you deal
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: with that crap. All right, let's get out of here.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I'm fairly certain we won't be talking about the WNBA tomorrow.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Sometime in the future when they come out with their
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: what a woman is statement, I guess, but there'll be
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: other things going on, but they dragging out with me.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you. Welcome to Monday. Make it a wicked
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: awesome work week or whatever you got going on. I
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: know a lot of kids are back to school, so
