Former NBA player Royce White sparked controversy with his recent comments on a far-right podcast, where he suggested that women have become “too mouthy.” This statement earned him praise from prominent figures in Trump’s circle, such as Kari Lake and Rudy Giuliani. White’s remarks were made during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, where he discussed the insertion of women into the workplace.
While White gained attention for his views, it’s worth noting that he had a short NBA career, playing only three regular season games with the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets. Previously known as a Black Lives Matter activist and advocate for mental health policies in the NBA, White’s shift to far-right politics occurred after he was introduced to Bannon in 2021, as reported by the Washington Post. He has since made multiple appearances on “War Room,” a podcast that has been identified as a top peddler of misinformation among political talk shows.
Aside from his controversial statements, White also ran in a Republican primary to challenge Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar. During this campaign, he resorted to personal attacks, claiming that Omar was “not an American.” Currently, White serves as co-captain of the Power team in the Big3, a three-on-three basketball league co-founded by Ice Cube. His Big3 bio highlights the obstacles he faced in the NBA due to a lack of mental health awareness and assistance within the league.
Overall, White’s recent comments have stirred up a significant amount of backlash and have brought attention to the controversial platform he has aligned himself with.
