Peabo Freddie Teddy Luther Who carries the mantle now because these babies today know nothing of music you tried to sing to your lady late night, with a glass of wine, and the fireplace burning. Aw! The good times.

Finally; we are still waiting for CC to say more than she has to help smooth the situation. She must rebuke the racist crowd that has gravitated to her as their Great White Hope! Congress never cared about the WNBA until now as they may view it as DEI! Step up to the plate CC!

Nathaniel Dorsey @natedorsey60l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Indiana Fever can alleviate the issue just by writing a statement condemning racism and set a standard of decorum for spectators as well as react with a sense of urgency for unruly fans. Other arenas have no problem removing unruly fans. Start there and possibly replace that GM who is out of touch.

Nathaniel Dorsey @natedorsey60l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Let's call it like it is, Indiana Fever and their fan base is at a crossroads between accepting who they are and how they are viewed. With several current and former players voicing concerns about conditions of hostility as African American players, "Indiana, you have a problem!"

It's getting close to where Black players will not play for the Indiana Fever. I applaud Kelsey Mitchell for sticking it out and performing at an elite level despite the noise of those Fever fans. Come to the Sky Kelsey!

Nathaniel Dorsey @natedorsey60l.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Kelsey Mitchell expects to be selfish in deciding her free agent path. I would love to see her exit the dysfunctional atmosphere in Indiana. Sparks? Phoenix? Valkaries? She can make an immediate impact.

000

Nathaniel Dorsey @natedorsey60l.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Valkaries/ Wings, what did we learn? 1. Arike is still that Gal! 2. Moments matter and Paige will meet the moment in her next playoff run. 3. Veronica Burton is that leader that teams need to immulate. 4. The Valkaries are destined for greatness.

Finally, on this day in 1995, former NFL running back O.J. Simpson is found not guilty of the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in Los Angeles. As a New Yorker at the time I watched the verdict on the jumbo-tron in Times Square and at that moment the racial divide appeared in real time.

Also, on this day in 1974, the Watergate criminal trial begins for five advisors and aides of then President, Richard Nixon. Dems; take heed and follow suit once you have taken control! It is clear that the current administration is corrupt as all hell!

Lastly; I salute Playwright August Wilson who we lost on this day in 2005. Wilson, an African American is best known for writing plays about African American life, such as " The Piano Lesson," "Fences," and "Ma Rainey's Black Black Bottom." A giant in our community is certainly missed. 🙏
