1st Half Aces 16 FT, 11 fouls Fever 12 FT, 12 fouls 2nd Half Aces 19 FT, 7 fouls Fever 8 FT, 16 fouls Did the officials find their bias at halftime or did the more experienced team just play a more disciplined 2nd half under pressure?

I have advocated in the past for announcers addressing the off-field gendered violence committed by athletes during games. But I am coming around to the belief that this is a bad idea. These men cannot handle the assignment and aren’t qualified. They could learn, yes, but they won’t.

“Even in a space devoid of personality, Heideman managed to bring her own. An Aquarius Venus can’t live in a bland or boring or generic space, they need to make it their own. Moving to Seattle for a starting role with the Storm didn’t have to mean leaving her aesthetic behind.”

Erin Reed is not a good journalist but neither are the people who wrote the takedown of her so 🤷🏻

They asked Paige about Arike on SportsCenter and she’s just shaking her head. “I was on the court and I don’t even know what i just watched. I just gave her the ball and got out of the way.”

Will the WNBA finally address the racism of parts of the Fever fandom now that they’ve come for the M’VP? Probably not, but they will assess her for a tech for responding to whatever harassment was leveled at her. And you know it had to be bad because A’ja doesn’t go off like that.

Megan is from NorCal so claiming the Valks and (maybe?) moving back to the Bay Area after the breakup makes sense for her tbh! But I doubt she’ll ever completely forgo the Seattle support

Someone might want to let Jim Fuller of the AP know that Rachid Meziane is a man. Based on a quick search Jim is a real person, not AI. And based on his Twitter he was actually in attendance for the final game last night, so this is a real head scratcher. The Sun deserved a better send-off.

The Sun will be renamed the Comets starting next season.

This has been a difficult final season for the Sun. Five of the 10 players who played Thursday were rookies. Connecticut and Toronto each finished with 11-33 records and await the WNBA Draft lottery.

Sun coach Rachid Meziane's message to her team was that the time to say goodbye was after the game.

“People will never forget this franchise, never forget the name on the jersey,” she said.

Every time the cis people of the LGBTQ community feels threatened or inconvenienced, they throw trans people to the lions. And every time they do that they lose more of their rights to the lions they keep feeding us to. We won’t be gone, a genocide didn’t remove us, we will remember your treachery.

I get so much hate mail that it’s really nice to get notes like this every now and again.

Just listened to you on NPR I have to say I'm so very impressed at how articulate and precise you are, I'm not into women's sports but I do listen to NPR and you were amazing!

Thank you!

Btw I'm 72

This great @thefrankiedlc.news read connecting BDSM culture and sports, asking...if we have a culture of consent and mutual care in BDSM spaces, can we protect athletes the same way? Thinking a lot about this right now with multiple heat injuries in the news.
