  1. it’s kinda like CC is VY, and the wnba is jeff fisher. no; CC is VY, angel reese is jeff fisher, and the wnba is a league full of six-man hs football teams from the valley who won’t stop complaining that their games are never on Monday Night Football.
  2. it’s so tone deaf and ironic that SAD (perfect acronym, way to go SarkAfterDark) thinks we hate women, when in reality the literal reason that all of us are in here shitting on people like angel reese and chennedy carter is because of their repeated and undeserved attacks on a woman. we, basketball fans, saw the first female player who reminded us of steph curry, and with lots of promotion from ESPN we got to watch her, know her, and root for her. it was new, it was fun, it was exciting, and best of all, as soon as she finished college she got to immediately start playing in the pros. only guess what? the pros didn’t want her. the pros either didn’t respect her, didn’t want to see her succeed, or downright despised her. right out the gate diana turasi talked shit about CC on her podcast; angel reese called her out; chennedy carter (not even in the league anymore) cheap shotted her from behind; all kinds of teams, *especially* angel reese’s team, physically and verbally went after her; when that was happening, her own teammates ignored it, did not stick up for her, and did not retaliate; she not only was left off team usa, but the team usa coach talked shit a out her. meanwhile, CC just kept her mouth shut and, after a short adjustment period, rapidly ascended to the top of the league where she remains as its best player today. we didn’t all just show up here one day like, “man fuck women! i hate women! they shouldn’t have rights! i’m so mad that the wnba exists!!!”. we got introduced to a demigod in sneakers who made us want to tune in and watch, and the moment she got to the pros the entire league set out to bully her, to trash her, to diminish her, and we didn’t like it. amd now that the league has our attention, the more attention we pay, the more these women have shown themselves to be embarrassing athletes and terrible people. so instead of talking about that sweet chest pass, or pretending like the world’s slowest fast break which ends with a 4-on-1 layup that hits the bottom of the rim and then gooses out of bounds off a girl’s knee *wasn’t* objectively terrible play, we’re in here talking about the still-shockingly cold reception that the best women’s basketball player of this century has gotten from a league full of wonderful people like brittany griner, chennedy carter, and angel reese. we don’t hate women; we hate shitty people.
  3. you’re probably just feeling uncomfortable because we’re in here treating women the same way we treat men, and people aren’t used to that. there’s also this undertone overtly aggressive belief in our current culture that anyone who says anything critical about a woman (or a black person, or a religious person, or any marginalized group of person who is different from them) must automatically hate that entire group. like only a misogynist could be this critical of these women who’ve been given a league only to spit at the people who gave it to them. in reality it not complicated, and it’s no mystery- the product on the court sucks and the general attitude and personalities of the league and its players suck too. it’s very very unappealing to most people. &nbs
  4. so chennedy carter is out of the league now? what’s up with that?
  5. you just keep on making up bullshit about how i/we feel about women and convincing yourself that it’s true, because, ironically, you are so narrow minded that you can’t conceive of anyone criticizing a woman without that person actually hating women. it’s that exact type of annoying victim mentality that turns a lot of us off from the sport.
  6. what the hell are you even talking about. we keep on telling you specifically what turns us off about this league, and instead of listening to that, processing it, and then responding to it, you just keep making up your own dumbasss, crybaby reasons why we don’t like this sport, and then screaming at us for it. actually, YOU draw the line when it comes to women. we talk all kinds of shit about the men and judge them just as harshly and nobody cares. it’s you and yours who make it a big deal when it’s women being criticized. we don’t avoid watching the sport because of their personalities, we avoid the sport because the sport is terrible. the women being terrible, indefatigably ungrateful people is just the cherry on top. we pay attention to what the league gives us. i told you that earlier when i made that post about that one lady who appears to actually be good at the sport. i said in that very post that the league needed to do a better job of promoting players like her, but did you read that, or process it, or address it? no, because you behave like a 13 year old psychopath with an unrequited love for sheryl swoopes. you are just as good of a representative for women’s hoops as griner, mulkey, and reese are: just terrible.
  7. are you not listening? kim mulkey, brittany griner, angel reese- these are all inherently unlikable people who represent the best of a sport that wouldn’t even exist professionally without the nba paying for it, and yet all we hear from that sport is how they are vicitimized, how they deserve more, and how it’s men who are holding them back. what about any of that is confusing to you? the sport is full of terrible people who bite the hand that feeds them, and no matter how much they undeservedly get handed on a platter, all they do is find more reasons to bitch. but no you’re right, we all hate these ladies because they’re better than we are at basketball. nailed it. 👌🏼
  8. i’ve seen her on podcasts complaining about men sexualizing her online. i just don’t get it.
  9. the wnba is like if draymond green, pete rose, john rocker, deshaun watson, ray rice, and bill romanowski all got together to make a sports league, except that they’re all terrible at sports, and all they do is whine about how they need to be paid more.
  10. just a league full of garbage people:
  11. i’ve already heard JD Vance “joke” that people who come to the US for the event better not stay too long or risk being deported (he has the savoir-faire of a baboon), and i have no doubt that trump will have his grubby, orange fingers all over the event. so i’m just here asking those who know better: what, and in how many ways, is trump going to do to absolutely ruin this most important global showcase?
  12. not only is nobody here “masquerading as a women’s basketball fan”, the express purpose of this thread is (has become) so that those of us who actively dislike the sport can post our thoughts and feelings without interfering with the other thread , the one for the actual fans. and that’s the entire point of my last post: i’m *not* a women’s basketball fan, no doubt in some part due to the fact that i’ve never heard of this one lady who is obviously good at the sport and probably a nice person, meanwhile i’m well aware of who angel reese, brittany griner, and kim mulkey are, both by name, and by personality (see: horrible cunt). that’s a problem for the wnba. all that guys like me see are a bunch of unathletic, inherently unlikable, hateful, racist assholes missing layups and demanding that men pay them more money and attention. why on earth would i tune in for that?
  13. im not 100% certain that’s what she said, but it does look like that’s what she said.
  14. mid it’s not illegal to block the runner’s view of the catch then that’s a garbage call. if it is illegal to block the runner’s view of the catch, then that’s a garbage rule.
  15. ok this got me lol:
  16. don’t tell anybody this, but we all actually play for tampa bay. i’m a white, goofy throwing starter-reliever-opener-set-up-man, on a 2 year deal worth $1.25M. we all are. this is our fantasy league thread.
  17. why’s he always calling me ‘meat’?
