Jackass sounds like Jerry Krause when he broke up the MJ Bulls.

But I thought people wanted to see a little physicality in basketball? At least that’s what the MSB told me

Lol barely anybody knew about Reese until the taunting crap at the end of the game and then when we did find out about her, she is a racist with a below 2.0 gpa... nothing to be proud of.


I don’t care. She’s an LSU national champion

And really unlikable, both by her own doing and inadvertently.

Do you know that lesbians are far more likely to get divorced than gay male or heterosexual couples? Women hate each other. I have never seen a successful all female leadership team at any business level.

Well I think that’s fine until it becomes an I Quit/WWE style event. Complete with eye pokes and chest slaps hair pulling clothes lines etc..

WNBA really exposes how nasty most women are towards other women more successful than them

No response would have pleased her so the commish just decided to go opposite. That was certainly a choice.

If you're scoring at home, LSU has given us Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Clark, Ghetto Barbie and Gay Joey B.

Pot head Honey Badger and Livvy-banging Skenes should have statues on the campus compared to that lineup.

She isn’t wrong here.

The league “succeeds” because of outside forces and charity, not because of the players.

This is what happens when value is determined in something totally unrelated to the product.

The WNBA isnt valuable without the backing of the NBA…but simultaneously thinks the players should be thankful for the league.

Neither are worth what they think they are.

I also asked how she planned to fix the fact that players like Caitlin, Angel and Paige, who are clearly driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little for their first four years. Her response was, 'Caitlin should be grateful she makes $60 million off the court because without the platform the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't make anything.'


She is right. Those people are going to Russia or China and making $60 million in endorsements without the NBA, not WNBA, giving them an American platform.

There is a reason why all the old dykes had to play overseas.

WNBA leadership and the old guard butch players are absolutely resentful that the young stars are bringing them to levels of fame they could never achieve on their own…it’s sad to watch how petty and ridiculous they have acted for the last two years

I read this earlier. My general takeaway is this. At some point during or after this conversation the player that was speaking to the commish had some sort of epiphany. Basically I think she realized that if that’s her attitude towards one of the biggest names in the sport, the golden goose if you will, then what does she actually think about the rest of us? In other words, it was all good when the league was teeing off on CC, but with the commissioner’s tough shite attitude, the wwe brand of basketball could easily effect her as well from an injury standpoint.
