Michael Alter defends Chicago Sky against Enes Kanter Freedom's lawsuit

In the U.S., Enes Kanter Freedom filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Sky, alleging First Amendment violations after being ejected from a WNBA game on August 23. Freedom was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud and removed for his conduct while wearing a controversial shirt. Sky owner Michael Alter stated that Freedom's removal was due to his actions, not his speech, and announced an indefinite ban from games until compliance with rules is demonstrated.
