ED MORRISSEY: Woke Will Eat Itself, Chapter MCLXII: WNBA Meets to Discover Definition of ‘Woman’, And …

Ahem. It wasn’t Enes Kantor Freedom or Royce White who created this problem. Sophie Cunningham didn’t create it either; an ESPN reporter demanded Cunningham’s opinion on it while Cunningham was criticizing the league’s treatment of her teammate Caitlin Clark. Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve made it worse by attempting to troll Cunningham at a game with a “Trans Kids Belong” T-shirt during a game against the Fever, and the Lynx made it worse by attacking women and girls who support Cunningham.

And now that two biological males want to compete in the league, the woke morons who run the league find themselves hoist by their own petard.

So when do these geniuses plan to settle on a definition of woman? Maybe they’ll drop it under the Christmas tree. No, I am not kidding:

The WNBA and team representatives from across the league met Wednesday, Aug. 12 for planned talks on various matters, including ongoing debate over transgender females’ participation in women’s basketball.

“Today’s meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online. We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months,” a statement USA TODAY received from a WNBA spokesperson said.

“Weeks and months”? Will it take the Women’s National Basketball Association “weeks and months” to define the word “women”? What did the league think it meant for the past thirty years since its founding?

They’ll get back to Ed on that in weeks or months, or after they’ve chosen where to go for lunch, depending upon which comes first:
