The term ‘protected species’ is not that bad and is not untrue

Of course, drama queen Angel Reese is involved.

I know, I know…it’s WNBA, who cares…

quote:

“Reese and Tempo forward Nyara Sabally collided late in the game, with Sabally suffering a rib injury but ultimately being called for a shooting foul. She eventually had to be helped off the court.

While she was still down, Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello came over to plead her case to the officials, and a hot mic picked up part of the conversation.

That's when Brondello called Reese a "protected species," thus sending the WNBA world into a frenzy because, of course, it was deemed racial.

I'll say it since nobody else will: She IS a protected species, as both a player and a race.

This feels obligatory here.

Would a simple “Foxtrot November” be out of line here?

Brondello will be lucky if she can survive this. She may get banned for life from sports employment in any capacity.

We as a culture have evolved to this point.

Brondell is white and white people can't say things like that and still have employment.

Some protected species make it difficult to build buildings. Other protected species turn those buildings into dumps.

UPDATE:

WNBA suspended the Coach for one game for making a forbidden comment.

I assumed he meant that she was a big time star and thus got preferential treatment by officials like Lebron James in the NBA or Tom Brady in the NFL. I don’t see how that’s a racial remark at all.

Of course it's not, but since when has reality mattered?

It is a lot easier to say "protected species" than it is to say "protected home sapiens", don't ya think? Why does Reese feel shamed? Does she have a monkey on her back?

The demand for racism exceeds the supply. The WNBA proved the Australian coach’s point and Reese.
