I'm not entirely sure I've seen someone go from universally liked to nearly universally disliked as fast as I've seen Angel with this fanbase

If they actually considered economics WNBA teams would be riding from game to game on a bus.

She's acting like she's never has had a delay or cancelled flight or missed a connection because of a delay or cancelled flight and forced to rebook and spend a few days in a crappy hotel.


Because she hasn't---when she was at LSU, they chartered EVERYWHERE unless it was a bus trip to Lafayette of New Orleans.

This is another example of how the college life is much better than the WNBA life.

These mother frickers do not make money yet want Four Seasons hotel rooms and private jets. Unreal.


The reality is that ONE player was made uncomfortable by ONE person approaching her in an airport after decades of wnba players flying commercial. ONE player that anyone gives a shite about and now all of a sudden they are all in mortal danger if they set foot in a commercial passenger terminal? It’s honestly fricking ridiculous.

I often wonder if anybody makes any money in the women's league. I live in Chicago and I don't think many people really care for it. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is my observation of the games. I like college play, but never watch girl pros.

If she wanted to travel by charter, she should have stayed at LSU another year.

The criteria to have a chartered flight:

1. Does it affect the win/loss (is travel efficiency and comfort needed)?

2. Can team or league afford it?

3. Will players leave if they don’t get it?

4. Is it part of the collectively bargained agreement (are they contractually obliged to do it)?

It’s not about who “deserves” anything

“If they actually considered economics WNBA teams would be riding from game to game on a bus.“

….or playing in a bubble like the NBA during Covid. Just play all games in Vegas. They might get some good side stories.

Click bait article. All she did was post an ig caption that was actually Breanna Stewart’s comments on the flight situation

But go ahead and feed into the narrative


This board loves to jump on any negative Angel story.

the idea of chartered flights for the WNBA is laughable

Indiana Fever for their positive experience on a chartered flight.


At least the owners know who the Golden Goose is, even if the players don't.
