The Weekly Scramble

Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.
Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.
The livestreamed trial has sparked massive discussions online and has brought attention to postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington says she had that is linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. Reddington said she also has bipolar disorder. After strangling her children, Clancy jumped from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Ramsey County Attorney John Choi and Attorney General Keith Ellison filed the civil lawsuit earlier this month, asking the court to prevent members of the two rival gangs from associating at the fair after law enforcement saw a post on social media by an alleged gang member promoting “The Biggest Battle of the Year” at the fair.
In court on Wednesday, six of the 10 listed members agreed not to attend the fair, according to court records.

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom said Friday he is declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft, saying he has examined the league’s eligibility rules and believes they make him eligible — a claim that is not supported by the WNBA’s published rules.
In a video posted to X, Mr. Freedom, wearing an orange WNBA-branded sweatshirt, said his team had “carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion.”
“Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027,” he said.
The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement does not contain a self-identification standard. Article XIII, Section 1(a) of the 409-page agreement states only that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA,” and does not define “woman” or address gender identity anywhere in the document, according to an OutKick report. Neither the WNBA nor the players’ union has publicly clarified how eligibility would be determined for a transgender or self-identified player, the outlet reported.
Freedom, an 11-year NBA veteran and the third overall pick of the 2011 draft, said he was not trying to mock anyone.
“I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices,” he said, adding that he wants the WNBA’s rules “applied equally, consistently, and without exception.”
The post is capitalizing on controversy surrounding remarks from Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who said in a July ESPN profile that she wants to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to compete against biological men, while maintaining she does not “hate trans” people. The remarks have prompted rallies and counter-rallies outside WNBA arenas, and Cunningham addressed the fallout again this week, telling a USA Network broadcast that she wants “love and respect” to remain even amid disagreement, while lamenting that the debate has overshadowed the basketball itself, according to an OutKick report.

The WNBA has a major marketing problem making Sophie Cunningham the villain in the trans movement.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham sparked a major WNBA controversy by stating she believes transgender women and girls should be barred from female sports categories to protect biological females and fairness. Her remarks generated intense public debate, on-site fan rallies, and opposing demonstrations outside arenas.
The Remarks: Sophie Cunningham stated in a media profile published in July 2026 that her stance is focused on safety, fairness, and preserving opportunities for young girls rather than malice toward the transgender community. [1, 2]
Arena Protests: Consecutive Indiana Fever away games—including matchups in Portland and against the Minnesota Lynx—drew organized groups of both critics and supporters holding demonstrations outside and inside the venues. [1, 2]
League Responses: Figures across the league responded diversely, with Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wearing a "Trans kids belong" shirt, while teammate Caitlin Clark emphasized that the team's primary focus remains strictly on basketball
