埃内斯·坎特·弗里dom在8月23日芝加哥天空队主场对阵印第安纳发烧队的WNBA比赛中被赛场保安驱赶出场1。这名前NBA球员随后在伊利诺伊州美国地区法院提起诉讼,声称自己的第一修正案权利遭到侵犯1。他当时穿着一件黑色T恤,上面写有"WOMAN noun. adult human female."的字样1。
天空队老板迈克尔·奥尔特于8月25日宣布对弗里dom实施无限期禁赛1,并在周五发表声明对诉讼指控进行了回应1。奥尔特声称弗里dom因违反球迷行为准则被驱赶,而非因其言论1。他指出:"弗里dom在穿上该T恤数小时内没有任何与保安的接触,只在他违反球迷行为准则(起身、指向球员、朝球场走去)后才被驱赶"1。
弗里dom的诉讼要求获得赔偿并解除对温特拉斯特竞技场比赛的禁令1。被告包括芝加哥女子篮球运营公司、大都会码头展览局和芝加哥市1。
Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected by arena security from a Chicago Sky game against the Indiana Fever on August 23 while wearing a black T-shirt bearing the text "WOMAN noun. adult human female." 1 Following his removal, Freedom filed a lawsuit claiming his First Amendment rights were violated, seeking damages and an end to his ban from Wintrust Arena. 1
Sky owner Michael Alter responded on Friday by rejecting the allegations, stating that Freedom was removed for violating the fan code of conduct rather than for his speech. 1 According to Alter's statement, Freedom had no contact with security for hours after putting on the T-shirt; he was only ejected after he stood up, pointed at players, and walked toward the court. 1 Alter announced on August 25 that Freedom would face an indefinite ban from Sky events. 1
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Illinois against the Chicago Women's Basketball Operating Company, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, and the City of Chicago. 1 Separately, Freedom and former NBA player Royce White announced their intention to enter the WNBA draft, each claiming female identity, though sources indicate they do not meet eligibility requirements. 1
