Former basketball pro-turned politician Royce White is making headlines after showing up to a WNBA game with a wig.
The league has been awash in controversy, first for seemingly letting white players like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham be bullied on and off the court, then for having difficulty defining what a woman is despite being a league exclusively for female athletes.
White joined Enes Freedom Kanter in pointing out the absurdity of being unable to define “woman” by declaring their intent to join the next WNBA draft, despite being men. To this end, White attended the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun while wearing a long, blonde wig.

“All hail Queen Roysha, the queen has arrived, it’s great to be here… I’m here because Black trans lesbians matter, and we’ve always mattered, we’ve always existed… I’m here to participate and scout some of the competition maybe as well,” White said when asked why he attended the evening’s game.

THAT’S how you protest and make a political statement! Force them to play by their own rules and the game that they set themselves! What a brave ‘woman’!

Royce White is a stunning and beautiful woman. The bottom WNBA teams are battling to draft her and Enes if the league fails to define what a woman is.

Nothing says “beautiful Black Trans Lesbian” like jeans, a blazer, a cheap blonde wig, and a discrimination threat if the girls won’t let you dunk on them. #LetRoyshaPlay

A real man!
He exposes the sheer hypocrisy of the WNBA’s far-left leadership. We who love basketball stand with Sophie.
Warm greetings from across the pond.— Thebullstaff (@Nightwish2713) August 29, 2026
Hi @FoxNews can you please stop dead-naming Roysha.
Bigots…

Royce is the best. FYI The WNBA and the NBA do not use the same size basketball.
Royce thank you for your support of women’s sports!

He’s really committed to this. Those tickets must have been tens of dollars.
