Angel Reese was fined $25,000 for her repeated language against Caitlin following the intentional hard foul (which in all honesty was a hard basketball play to avoid being scored on -- see it in every game.)
If you cannot substitute white for black or black for white it is racist.
This might be new to you but the W includes 3 other Hawkeye alums besides CC22. They're all proud to be part of the league. These women you are so quick to disparage are their role models and their sisters. I promise you that none of Kate, Caitlin, Megan, or Lucy give a shit if you ever watch one of their games. They probably prefer that you don't. I promise you they would throw hands for any of their opponents. And I bet they wouldn't claim you if push came to shove. Get a hobby bro.
I read that 3 times and still can’t figure out what you said…
She wasn't fined $25,000. That is Facebook fake news.
Nah - it’s just that people are waking up to the hypocrisy of who can say and do what and not be subject to the same outcomes.
What does MAGA have to do with it?
I actually hope Gainbridge continues to fill up. I suspect turnout for the road games where they have upgraded venues will disappoint. TV ratings will decline—how much so remains to be seen. Either way, the spin will be interesting to see as well.
I don’t want the other fever players to be harmed by non-attendance but I feel like the league needs some tough love, and they would be collateral damage.
Good call on the spin being interesting.
With all do respect to Megan , Kate and Lucy, these games would NOT be must watch TV without CC22 presence for me and the Mrs, and that just what it is.
Just wait for the cries of "racism" when the ratings go down because the "white woman" is no longer around. It's about entertainment and CC is entertaining. Their product is mediocre at best. And for what it's worth - I felt the exact same way when Ronnie Lester graduated.
Because it has ZERO to do with race.
Many of the so called "Progressives" on this board, at least the one's who never played competitive sports, would be shocked at how often in the world of sports things like this are said. If said by a white person, all hell breaks loose and it's considered hate speech. If otherwise, crickets. I would expect the WNBA to hope it blows over and if not, a feeble attempt at discipline, such as we don't condone this type of conduct, will be done. Hypocrites.
Im gonna watch, i like this team and it will be interesting to see them wo CC
Mrs. spider (no pic) and I will be watching. While it obviously won’t be anywhere near the same, we’re emotionally invested in this entire team and hope to see them all elevate their game in Caitlin’s absence.
You and Jemele are the only ones to believe this.
Exactly - might want to do a little research on the person you are trying so hard to defend. And I'll bet you are still certain there actually were hateful comments made toward AR in that game against the Fever. Even though the league did an investigation on that one. Found nothing. But keep defending your good little heart away. I'm sure it helps you sleep at night.
You understand and accept the spin of the context. Mad at you? Please. I sincerely appreciate all you are trying to achieve.
