LeBron, do you have any desire to be a woman?: Donald Trump reveals plans as WNBA coach
USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectDonald Trump has felt strongly about basketball as of late. The President recently weighed in on one of the longest-lasting debates going on in sports circles: who the greatest basketball player of all time is. While its widely viewed as a two-horse race between Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Trump made it clear that for him, its a fairly easy choice.Well, Michael Jordan is a guy thats a friend of mine. Hes a really good guy, Trump said during a press conference following James decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for his 24th season in the NBA. And I think LeBron Maybe hes a racist, but maybe he doesnt like Trump. I dont know. I only like people that like me, so I would say Michael Jordan all the way.The NBA isnt the only basketball league the President has been following, either. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that the President has been following the controversy surrounding WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever, who sparked debate when she said in a profile that she thinks its important to keep transgender girls from competing in the same sports as other girls.I dont believe he (President Trump) has reached out to her. I know he is following the story. As you know, this is something the president feels strongly about as well, and the American people do, too: that men should not be playing in womens sports,Leavitt said.Its completely ludicrous that anyone could support that. Its even more ludicrous you have Sophie Cunningham, a female athlete herself, very accomplished in her own right, coming forth and speaking that truth that men shouldnt play in womens sports we want to protect women and girls and the backlash she is receiving from Democrats and left-wing fingers across the country is astonishing. They are clearly very out of touch with the American public on this issue.Id be the greatest womens basketball coach in historyNow, the President has linked his James-Jordan feelings and his take on trans athletes in the WNBA.Id be the greatest womens basketball coach in history because I dont like LeBron James, Trump said in a public address, I like Michael Jordan much better. But Id go up to LeBron James.Id be the greatest womens basketball coach in history. I dont like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. But, Id go up to LeBron JamesId say, LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what Id love you to do is star on my team. pic.twitter.com/xU5lt6hPeH CSPAN (@cspan) July 26, 2022It doesnt matter, Id say, LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what Id love you to do is star on my team that Im building up. I will have the greatest team in history. Theyll never lose. Nobody will come within 70 points of this team. Now, we have to change that, and we have to make it okay to talk about it.Its an odd thing to say considering that the WNBA doesnt have a single transgender player in it, and no transgender athletes are dominating at the highest levels of college basketball either. The one transgender female basketball player that anti-trans advocates have used as an example recently, Julien Tetart, hasnt even reached the highest level of professional basketball in FranceThe post LeBron, do you have any desire to be a woman?: Donald Trump reveals plans as WNBA coach appeared first on The Comeback: Todays Top Sports Stories & Reactions.
