Top-tier attention seeker Enes Kanter Freedom is at it again.

The NBA washout has filed a federal lawsuit in Illinois, arguing he was mistreated when booted from a WNBA game last month, according to the New York Post.
The former No. 3 overall draft pick sued the WNBA’s Chicago Sky, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority and the City of Chicago, alleging all three kicked him out on Aug. 23 at Wintrust Arena.
Freedom alleged animosity against him had built up by the defendants because he had been fighting to be allowed to play in the WNBA by entering the 2027 draft.
He argues he did nothing wrong at the game, where he showed up with a shirt that said: “WOMAN noun, adult human female.”
‘Cloud cursed and yelled’
Freedom also gesticulated, raising his arms at various times, which he said was to support plays by Sophie Cunningham, an Indiana player who has loudly supported the barring of trans athletes from women’s sports.
Things escalated when Chicago player Natasha Cloud started to approach Freedom, yelling angrily at him.

She “charged nearly half the length of the court toward where Plaintiff Freedom was sitting courtside,” Freedom’s lawsuit stated. “Cloud cursed and yelled at Plaintiff, saying that Ms. Cunningham was not going to sleep with Plaintiff Freedom.
“Plaintiff Freedom believes that Cloud’s attack was motivated and triggered by the message on Plaintiff’s shirt and Plaintiff’s widely publicized viewpoint on protecting the integrity of women-only sports.”
According to the Post, Freedom told Cloud: “I’m not trying to sleep with her. I’m just here to protect women and support her.”
He was subsequently banned from the building.
