Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter has shared a statement after former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom launched a lawsuit against the WNBA franchise.
Kanter attended the August 23 game between the Sky and the Indiana Fever, getting ejected in the third quarter after a courtside interaction with Natasha Cloud.
Kanter has sued the Sky over violating his First Amendment rights, claiming he was ejected for the T-shirt he wore with the literal definition of a woman to attack trans identity.
Team owner Alter issued a statement immediately after Kanter's lawsuit became a reality, calling the suit 'meritless and frivolous' because he was ejected after getting into it with Cloud, not for the questionable T-shirt he wore.
"We received word that the entity owning the Chicago Sky is being sued by Mr. Enes Kanter Freedom for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights. This lawsuit is meritless and frivolous. Freedom's claim that he was removed from Wintrust Arena due to his speech is false."
