Republicans always raise up the worst amongst them. Denny Hastert was a child molester, as a coach and as a US Representative. He used insider information to make himself rich. He abused power and people at will. He was a monster. All the people who acted surprised were just choosing their comfort

Cheryl once said that there are two players who draw outsized, unwanted attention. Angel was one of them. I hate that for Minnesota because we got bounced from the playoffs because we don't have a player like Angel Reese banging inside #wnba #loslynx

Yes, that's him. So cavalier until the woman next to him pulled him back to his chair and the woman next to her held up her arm against A'ja. Then he's embraced by security. Gross
On 9/29/26, the Las Vegas Aces played game 2 of the first round of the playoffs against the Indiana fever in Indiana. This photo is the moment that A'ja Wilson saw the fever fan stepping towards towards her, wagging his finger at her. In the foreground, noted transphobe, Sophie Cunningham is dramatically sitting on the ground after getting fouled by A'ja Wilson.

Indiana's reputation is irredeemable to those of us who see a fandom centered around a opinionless maga magnet and activist transphobe. The caricature is "Bob from Indiana" who loves to support straight white women in a league led by black women and queer women #wnba

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

One thing about Amy is she is always going to be an indignant Minnesotan. It's amusing to me that the actual game in question was a Big 10 Women's college game in Maryland, not a MNBA game in Georgia. The absolute asshattery of the republicans never fails

Jacob Frey took office in 2018. He is the man responsible for this. "Last year was the seventh straight year of record MPD overtime costs; the last time the city stayed within its police overtime budget was 2018." www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Interim Minneapolis police chief says he inherited a budget ‘mess’
Police leaders acknowledged during a City Council budget meeting that overtime was handed out too loosely in years past and said they’re now monitoring it more closely.

Sign outside Target center in downtown Minneapolis reads: "coach of the year starring Cheryl Reeve." It's sort of made to look like a movie poster. On the side, it also says "This award made possible by the Lynx motion picture association, All rights reserved."

I've been noticing over the last few years that the play style of the W has been emulating the men's game. I don't watch men's basketball anymore because they just isolate, chuck threes, and half-ass it on D. Why be like the men when they made their own league reductive and boring

The only way to watch the #WNBA playoffs is to subscribe to one of the live TV subscriptions that cost around $80/mo (for 2 months, because the playoffs last more than 30 days). Or watch everything the day after on league pass. Who is this arrangement for @wnba.com? Because it's not for the fans.

Cheryl would never say this but my example is McBride. She ends up on the floor a lot, going for the foul, not the basket. Two points is worth more than maybe getting a foul call

I interpreted this part of her message to be a push for players to be better critical thinkers about the rules and the way the game is supposed to be called. Less emotion, more strategy. Less playing for the foul, more follow through.
