Ngayon na nakumpirma na ang mga sinabi ko sa presscon nung Friday, nananawagan ako sa iba’t ibang ahensya ng gobyerno gaya ng DND, NSC, NICA, NBI, etc., na imbestigahan ang issue na ‘to dahil mabigat ang national security implications na ang isang incumbent vice president ay tumatanggap ng pera mula sa isang hostile foreign country. This goes beyond the impeachment.

Other nationalities still don’t quite get why Filipinos give soooo much time, effort, and energy to make sure our SUPPORT is seen and felt wherever Alex Eala goes.

But here’s the thing.

Alex has never denied how “privileged” she is, or how much of an advantage she’s had compared to many other Filipino athletes trying to make it in their respective sports.

But do you know WHY FILIPINOS LOVE HER and why she’s being celebrated like a SUPERSTAR?

It’s not just because Filipinos naturally go all-in and all-out for our kababayan.

It’s also because we see how genuine Alex is when it comes to uplifting Philippine tennis and supporting fellow Filipino athletes.

She could simply go pro, focus entirely on her own career, make money for herself, compete on the world stage, and carry the Philippine flag along the way. And there would be absolutely nothing wrong with that.

But she chooses to do more.

Her love for the country, her willingness to give back, and her desire to help grow the sport beyond her own success are part of what makes her stand out to Filipinos.

We’re not only cheering for the athlete.

We’re cheering for someone who genuinely seems to want Philippine tennis to rise with her. 🇵🇭🎾

goosebumps kay CJ Panganiban talaga diretsahan 👏🏻😭 sana matamaan yung ibang senator-judges dyan na hustisya ang pinaglalaban dito at hindi pansariling interes lang ng isang tao 🙌🏻

Imagine being so full of hate against a once-in-a-generation Filipino tennis star you have to dig up obscure facts about a privileged background no one denies was a major contributor, but by NO MEANS a guarantee of the success she & the rest of the country are now celebrating.

Bro this just sets precedence now.
I don’t know why our government refuses to acknowledge that the student violence happening here is because of dumbass parents. The blame is always on video games.

I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

Enes Kanter and Royce White have declared for the WNBA Draft. And the right-wing meida is lapping this up as the greatest "gotcha" in the history of gotchas.

In their mind, they are exposing the "loophole" that "all you have to do is say you're a woman," and you can circumvent the barrier between men and women, and take over women's sports.

I'd like to point out that the only other times the right cares about the WNBA are when white women get fouled hard or when players ask to be paid more equitably than the NBA.

But that's another conversation.

The problem with Kanter and White's "gotcha" is that there are no trans women in the WNBA.

Layshia Clarendon identifies as trans, but they identify as nonbinary and was assigned female at birth.

The only professional women's basketball player I can find is Julie Tétart, a trans woman who plays for Monaco Basket Association in Ligue Féminine 2 (LF2), France's second-tier women's league. She's about 6'3" and 34 years old.

Men pretending to be trans women are hardly "taking over" the sport.

There is not now, and never has been, a trans woman who plays Division 1 college basketball, either.

Only one trans woman has ever played college basketball at any level. That was Gabbi Ludwig, who at the age of 50 played for Mission College, a Community College team in 2013.

She did well, but she spent 5 years on hormone therapy before playing, and her team didn't win the championship.

That's hardly the same thing as what White and Kanter are doing.

Prior to Trump's executive order, there were only an estimated 10 trans athletes in all of college sports. (That's not a count; it's an estimate)

There are about 540,000 athletes in the NCAA. That comes out to 0.00196%. To put that in perspective, imagine a half-gallon bucket filled with dried grains of rice, with one of them painted blue.

Your chances of reaching into the bucket and finding that one grain of rice in your first grab are about equal to that of finding any trans athlete in college sports.

That includes trans women, trans men, and people who identify as nonbinary.

The entire premise of Kanter's and White's stunt is to "expose" the loophole that all a man has to do is say they're a woman, and they can dominate the WNBA.

But that's not happening.

So the only real point appears to be just a plea for attention at the cost of the most marginalized group of people in America: The transgender community.

So what can the WNBA? Easy. Just don't draft them.
