Chicago Sky fire back at Enes Kanter lawsuit with ardent defense of 'the truth'
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Enes Kanter Freedom has filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Sky, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, and the city of Chicago, alleging unfair removal from a WNBA game on August 23 at Wintrust Arena.
- The Chicago Sky's principal owner, Michael Alter, called the lawsuit meritless and frivolous, stating Kanter was removed for violating the fan code of conduct, not for his speech or the shirt he wore.
- According to the Sky, Kanter was removed only after he rose from his seat, gestured at a player, and stepped toward the court, actions that breached arena rules.
- The team emphasized that they will not make further public comments on the matter outside of court due to ongoing litigation.
- The case will proceed in court, where the Chicago Sky expects the truth about the incident to be revealed.
