Seriously, who is their audience supposed to be?


There are a LOT of young white girls who play basketball that go to LSU's women's games and worship the LSU players.

The WNBA does nothing to cater to that demographic at all. You think those 2 girls that the Seattle owner bitched at are ever going back to a game there? If I were serious about making money, I would try to appeal to that demographic, but every day the league shows itself. All they care about is being woke.

Bill Bellichek needs to teach a class on how to answer stupid questions not sports related.

Wonder how many basketball questions they get asked.

Is Cunningham considered dirty and dishing out brutal fouls herself? If so, the headline isn’t totally ridiculous. If not, it’s troubling af.


I think she’s had two different flagrant 2s over the last year (maybe just one).

The headline is dumb considering what else is going on, but if you ignore that, it feels more like a “Draymond Green got karmic justice” sort of post which would make more sense.

Fwiw, the writer did say Dijonai’s foul fell under the flagrant 2 category, but the rest of it felt pretty clearly anti-Cunningham.

Clark, Sophie, and a few of the black stars who aren't totally unhinged should break off and form their own league.

Sounds like a real great idea

We could go back to not ever talking about women’s basketball

At this point I liken the WNBA to wrestling. Mostly scripted BS to get some sort of return on the NBA’s investment.

It’s like a rich guy with a wife with an online candle shop that loses $100k a year… whatever it comes up with financially is less of a loss when it’s actually paid the overhead for a month or two.

The media members whose job is to inform and tell the news are basically extinct. Everything is about rage bait and trolling for clicks now. Pretty sad.

Every person whose opinion I give a shite about is pretty much on a podcast now (or has their own) and I get my stuff there. Sucks too, because good sports writers were great to read back in the day.

Every single leftist you know thinks this way. One of the main reasons I could no longer associate with them. They really and truly hate you and want you harmed in the worst ways.

None of what I am reading here is surprising to me.

And yet they got you to start a thread on a virtually unwatchable sport and they got me to respond to it despite my distain for the sport. No publicity is bad publicity to a dead sport. It all appears to be a show, a horrible one, but not a real sport.

The only reason espn exists is because all normal men have to tolerate it to watch their favorite sport. Otherwise they would just be another bud light on the shelf. They are infiltrated with filth and a big reason is we cannot avoid it so they take to opportunity and then try to act like we care. When the wnba has a chance to grab some spotlight and attract fans they just fumble the ball.

Sophie is JK Rowling in shorts. Just because she is right about the trannies doesn’t make her the hero so many people want her to be.

What’s the point of parsing words here?

If she’s right about trannies and has the courage to say the right thing while also being in a cult that promotes the opposite, normal people will say that’s a courageous act. People who engage in courageous acts are often called heroic.

The point is don’t put her some pedastal because she used common sense one time.

The same people fools disappointed in Caitlin will be disappointed in Sophie if she comes in support of some thing late term abortion or illegal amnesty.

Stop making heroes out of people who are not heroes.
