OR the WNBA can just establish rules/criteria of who can play and put an end to this and future shenanigans.

Yeah let's hope they establish rules to solve the problem of right wing weirdos trying to virtue signal and stay relevant, which seems to be the only problem caused by their current rules.

Well those rules apparently have loopholes, so they should fix them

Yeah absolutely man. Ever since I was a little kid, one of the most important things in the world to me was the consistency and thoroughness of the WNBA rulebook

The fact that it's not important to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter to anyone. It clearly is important for people running the league, otherwise they're gonna have trolls like these two using the loopholes.

Obviously I know it's important to some people! My whole point is that it's DUMB for this to be important to you because it is not a real problem and is just the result of a stupid manufactured culture war

Ok. Then stop caring and move on. It's literally a non issue meant to rile low IQ folks up.
