The toxic WNBA, once again, descended into disgrace during the Fever-Sky game last evening in Chicago. After a timeout late in the third quarter, Natasha Cloud started screaming at a spectator sitting under the baseline. It was a targeted attack by Natasha Cloud, who obviously picked out Enes Kanter, who was sitting there watching the game.
Tricia Smith, a Boise, Idaho native, who said she didn’t know Enes Kanter before the game and sat next to him, said Natasha Cloud instigated the confrontation. “Natasha Cloud scored. She came over and threw her hands up and was talking shit to his face. So he stood up and said, like, ‘What? What do you want?’ He didn’t do a thing. I’ve sat next to him the whole game. He’s a great guy. He’s taken probably 50 pictures tonight.”
Enes Kanter did take one step towards Natasha Cloud, onto the court, and that’s what got him ejected. But clearly he was baited by Natasha Cloud, and for that there are no repercussions in the WNBA. After the incident, Enes Kanter posted on X, “I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA!” Here’s the incident on video.
NBC didn’t call this as it happened. In typical fashion, they instead cut to commercial break, then showed fans the replay AFTER Enes Kanter was ejected. Biased NBC announcers then praised Natasha Cloud for speaking her mind, etc. In any other sports league, Natasha Cloud would be suspended for multiple games for attacking a fan in the stands, but don’t expect this in the WNBA.
Fans aren’t safe at a WNBA game, because professional conduct doesn’t really exist among the players & league officials. If you wear the wrong shirt, or say something off message too loudly, then you will be targeted and ousted– not only by league officials, but by the players on the floor themselves. That’s their agenda, and playing basketball is second.
Natasha Cloud, of course, skipped the post-game press conference, and left her male coach to explain. Honestly, fans don’t want to hear lame excuses from the coach, it’s the player who needs to answer questions from the media & fans. That’s the forum to speak your mind if you are a player with a fan problem during the game. It’s clear Natasha Cloud preferred to abuse her power as a player to provoke a fan she didn’t like and have him ejected from the arena, then run off and hide after the game. This is how the WNBA treats its paying customers.
Natasha Cloud posted after the game on Threads, “To every trans kid/person, You are apart [sic] of MY community & tribe. You belong. You’re loved. You’re seen. You’re perfect as you are. & you will always be protected by me.” Grammatical & diction errors aside, what does provoking a spectator have to do with that? How does attacking a man who is now publicly identifying as a woman help the transgender cause? Natasha Cloud is in such a privileged position that she never has to answer these questions.
Natasha Cloud is being praised by the fake left media as being a ‘strong woman’ for confronting Enes Kanter in this manner. Online reaction has been quite different. It’s this type of DEI abuse of which the American public has had enough. Top comments I’ve read on social media so far include:
Imagine going after a man who supports women playing women sports.
The WNBA sums everything wrong with our country. The protected class “professional” blows up on a fan sitting court side & the fan gets ejected.
LOL, getting all tough with a 7 foot giant. The WNBA is ridiculously hilarious.
Obviously Natasha Cloud is a transphobe who hates self-identifying women. Not very welcoming and inclusive at all.
So, in every other sports league, a player would be severely disciplined for provoking a negative interaction with a fan. I’m assuming the WNBA will do nothing.
These liberal women don’t like having their own “logic” thrown back at them. He’s only doing what the WNBA and team front offices and WNBA PA allow under their current rules. Perhaps if they could define what a woman is, and not just allow anyone who declares themselves to be a woman, this entire “debate” would end. XX XY.
Got more energy for people off the court, this is why they lost.
Easiest ragebait of all time.
Enes is a troll mastermind!
I like Caitlin Clark just smiling there.

Before the game, I queried Google AI, as I was anticipating something like this happening. I’m sure I wasn’t alone.
Sun 23 Aug 2026 03:45 PM CDT
Me: Will Cathy Engelbert be at the Fever-Sky game later today?
Google AI: There is no public indication or official schedule confirming that WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert will attend tonight’s regular-season game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena.
Me: Enes Kanter will be in the house. Isn’t it the WNBA commissioner’s job to handle this stunt? Doesn’t ducking Enes Kanter send the wrong message? Aren’t strong women supposed to step up and handle a situation like this? Isn’t this what Cathy Engelbert is paid for? If she doesn’t show up, she’s leaving those WNBA players out there alone on this. That’s not a leader. And if Cathy Engelbert has decided not to show up, why not make a statement already? It seems like she would rather let Sophie Cunningham take all the heat for this mess, which is unfair– don’t you think?
Google AI: Arguments for Alternative Leadership Approaches– De-escalation: Conversely, others suggest that a commissioner’s high-profile attendance or a formal public statement could inadvertently amplify a situation, turning a localized event into a larger media spectacle and drawing more attention to a “stunt.” Delegation of Authority: Proponents of this view point out that venue security, team operations, and public relations staff are fully trained and equipped to handle in-arena logistics independently, allowing the league office to manage the situation without requiring the commissioner’s physical presence. Maintaining Focus on the Game: Some argue that ignoring external provocations keeps the spotlight where it belongs—on the athletes, the competition, and the sport itself—rather than validating outside political agendas.
Me: Google AI arguments for Cathy Engelbert ducking are garbage. It escalates more out of control if she ducks, it’s not a security issue, and being there and handling it like a professional will restore focus on the game, Be there, or resign Cathy Engelbert. That’s what real ballers say.
Google AI: The demand for direct accountability and hands-on leadership is a central viewpoint in this ongoing debate.
——–
Conclusion: The problem with Google AI is that it won’t answer the tough questions. If you need to know how to use your iPhone, or fix a leaky sink, Google AI is fine. But if you need a nuanced answer on leadership & ethics, Google AI doesn’t have that.
The Chicago Sky lost by 23, and were eliminated from playoff contention with this loss. Does anyone ask Natasha Cloud after the game, “Do you feel like if you had paid more attention to the Indiana Fever, instead of Enes Kanter, then maybe you could have achieved a better team result? You do realize the Sky are eliminated from playoff contention with this loss, right? Just what were you trying to accomplish out there? Any thoughts on that Natasha Cloud?”
