In the past it feels like Michelle Cooper would've tried to make something happen for herself there. I love her decision making there. #uswnt

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

To clarify, is she retiring from basketball or just the WNBA? I thought the latter given that she's slated to be on the Project B roster. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

I need to know at what point Season 4 of #TedLasso stops being terrible. Surely there's a TV critic who's watched screeners who can give me some hope. Because we're two episodes in and Ted's goofy charm is not charming me in the way it did in Season One.

One easy way to separate the real fans from the fake ones in the #wnba is to ask: "between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, two players genuinely hate each other. Genuinely. Who are they?" If they don't know, fuck them and their opinions. x.com/awfulannounc...

💯 I also felt this way with Carla and Lisa. Fans were so invested in getting them back together that they ignored all the pain that Lisa caused when Becky came back...and sadly the writers rushed their reunion (at which point, I stopped watching). Much prefer the way Shortie is handling it.

Absolutely. Plus you have to think, if they face Las Vegas (which is who they would match up with if playoffs started today), the Aces have three players who have been playing big minutes at FIBA.

I've been saying in the group chat, Washington is going to be so dangerous in the postseason...mainly because they're entire rotation is going to be resting for the entirety of #FIBAWWC. Meanwhile, whoever they're playing in the opening round is going to have multiple players playing in FIBA.

If she'd kept the main thing, the main thing, no one would be talking about it now.
From UnderdogWNBA on Twitter: Sophie Cunningham: "The WNBA media, all we ever do is cover everything except basketball ... You can talk about other things, those are great stories, it shows fans who people outside of the court, but I think we gotta keep the main thing the main thing."

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.
