That risible definition of politics - from a feminist author in 1996 - would make almost every thread on this site political.
The draft is a series of decisions that affect a group.
Coaches make decisions that affect a group.
LeBron decides he won't play defense and that affects a group.
If David has three dogs then deciding when to walk them is political.
But ok, you have accepted that a feminist can define politics to include whether or not making NBA coaches and referees 50% female is a good idea. In principle that would apply to players as well.
So let's have the California initiative and referendum process put that to a vote and make the Lakers, Clippers and Warriors 50% female.
Golden State has a head start on that.
