Candice Wiggins(WNBA) retired due to dyke bullying?

[mastermind]

Dumbass, SJW wasn't a perjorative term for years. It wasn't until idiots like you became parodies of actual Civil Rights warriors, did it become that.

This is the stupidest thing ive read today.

What reality are you talking about? Real live players that PLAYED in the NBA are telling you about their PERSONAL experiences, and you sit there rationalizing how THERE reality is WRONG, simply because it doesn't align with your WORLD VIEW. Again, unless you provide evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume Candice Parker is more in tune with the culture and demographics WNBA than your all knowing dumb ass.

I even use to date a WNBA jr League player and she told me the exact same thing btw.

I'm not all knowing. A couple people's ANECDOTAL experiences don't mean we can stereotype and entire fukking league with hundreds of players, or the thousands of girls/women who play in HS/college. This is basic logic breh...

Dear Candice,

I grew up in LA. Every year we would drive down to San Diego and play La Jolla Country Day, known as Kelsey Plum’s alma mater now, but back then, it was your school. I would walk around the school and the gym and see your name, murals of you. You were a big deal. Early on in my college decision process, Stanford was my dream school. Another place you had left your mark. To say I looked up to you was an understatement. So, imagine my hurt when I read your article about your time in the WNBA.

First, I was sad because that was your reality. I’m sorry you were bullied and felt that way during your career. Bullying is serious and no one deserves it. I hope you know that says more about the people who chose to mistreat you than you yourself. I hope one day your love for this sport returns, even if only as a spectator. I don’t know you personally nor was I there so I can’t deny your experiences nor would I try to. But I will defend a league I grew up with and am now a part of. Have you or did you ever reach out to the union? Did you confront these women?

Candice, I’m disappointed in you. We should be careful of who we allow to share our stories. We must be sure they not only respect the other parties but do their due diligence and only print facts. You stated that, “98% of the women in the league are gay” – that’s not only false but it’s unfair. You retired last year, have you met all 144 of us and been privy to our private lives? In your “research” did you really find only 3 women were straight? Do you know that orientation is not binary? Do you understand what you’ve done? You’ve reinforced unfair stereotypes. A person’s orientation is their own and their business. Now, because of your article, it is no longer out of bounds to ask WNBA players about their sexuality. Do they ask any male stars in the NBA about their sexuality? Is it even a conversation?

You said, “Nobody cares about the WNBA. Viewership is minimal. Ticket sales are very low. They give away tickets and people don’t come to the game.” And that’s simply not true. When you retired in March, you said the reason you stuck around so long and kept fighting through injury was because of the fans. Did you know our ticket sales and viewership increased this year? Did you care to know? Your article hurt me Candice, both as your fellow WNBA player and as a little girl who looked up to you. You chose to typecast an entire league instead of speaking your peace, telling your truth. You chose to put all of us down, fans included. How can you turn your back on an entity that gave you your career, your upcoming book, and your worldwide acclaim? I think that’s selfish.

This league is bigger than you Candice, it’s bigger than me too. This league is the largest women’s league in the world. We promote women from ALL walks of life. Yes, that includes homosexual women, heterosexual women, bisexual women, and the many other ways you can identify. We promote women of color. Do you realize that they only talk about our sexuality because we are women? That there very well may be these feelings in men’s sports but no one mentions it because no one cares. You see, they don’t ask male athletes about when they plan on having children or their families unless the athlete’s themselves introduce the topic. I like to believe that as a woman, I can do the same. I can play the sport I love professionally without having to involve my personal life. I’m married, to a man, but that’s not something I feel the need to announce mainly because it is accepted. Whether you want to admit it or not, a lot of people saw that fake statistic and looked at it negatively because it says lesbians. Do you feel that way too?

I don’t want to silence you Candice. I hope we can have an open dialogue about your experiences. But next time, I hope you ask your journalist to interview someone else who was there with you. I ask that you use real statistics. I ask that you not try to out other women. I ask that you try not to defame a league that gave you your platform, whether you like it or not. I ask that you remember your sisters, your fellow WNBA stars, the young girls coming up after you. The WNBA is about inclusion, always has been and always will be. There is literally a woman from every walk of life in the league, which is why I love it so much. I have never experienced the bullying you spoke about, and I hope no one else ever does. Thank you for telling your truth.

With Love,

Imani Boyette

Imani Boyette | Dear Candice,

did you hear about that?

some else also dismissed Brianna Stewart's comments. She, from what we have seen, is heterosexual as well.

No, in my logic based reality I recognize there's not a mainstream profession in the world that has 98% gay demographics, or even half that. EVEN fashion design doesn't have a 50% gay demo rate.

You seemingly cosigned the view that playing basketball as a girl/woman can turn them gay and you have the audacity to question my reality?

Again, the woman has said she was exaggerating from the start. Why you SJWs keep clinging to the 98% figure knowing it was figurative, not literal is beyond me.

Second of all, you've had women in this thread who played basketball talk about how lesbionic behavior is pushed on them in high-school.

This is the stupidest thing ive read today.

It's also 100% fact. If you were older than 18 or something, you'd know that.

No way she's 100% straight

 

[Guvnor]

These dykes are out of control, they need to be thrown in some kind of mental facility.

Also I wish baby girl well. She doesn't need to be in the wnba playing for as Star calls it nikka Pennies. Go do something productive baby girl, your gorgeous and life has a lot more to offer you.

Leave the carpet munchers alone.

Shout out Skyler Diggings though.

How many times you beat her 1 on 1

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

I stopped playing in high school for the same reasons.

As a straight girl it can be hell. To put it in perspective for you guys, imagine you are one of two straight players on a team full of Simon Adibisi types who try you every single day you're together. And the first time you shut one down and tell them chill you're not into dykes they want to fist fight.

To a woman, a 6 foot 200 lb+ woman with a body of muscle is like Simon Adibisi. Who wants to have to fight ugly bytches and mess up their faces just to play basketball? Who wants an elbow from an obsessed/jealous dyke to fukk up their pretty?

And to those to say ignore it, thats what we did but those Adibisi dykes are habitual line steppers. Whether it be grabbing your ass, slapping/grabbing your ass randomly on some good game shyt even in street clothes, or you turning around in the shower to 3 dykes watching you shower. Girls using sex toys on girls who have yet to even be with a man, of course you will turn her out, she's 14 and her first orgasm was from a woman and all her teammates give her props for finally "not being a scared little girl"

The same way you guys have Sanduskys and other predatory types and a system that protects them, the woman's game is even more institutionalized with lesbian pedos

Pokey Chatman, all-American point guard and ex head coach of LSU had affairs with many of her players over the year including WNBA star Seimone Augustus, and when it came to light she was allowed to resign. She was known as one of the best recruiters in basketball when she stepped down and spent time with most of her players from the time they were 13-14 year old recruits. Was she ostracized like Joe Pa before he died? No, she went to coach in russia, came back and got not one but two head Coaching + GM jobs in the WNBA. Her assistant that blew the whistle on her, Carla Berry, was also her backcourt partner when they were players and she was let go at the end of the season and hasn't been seen since (this happened in 1997).

The coach who was fukking her players moved up in her profession, while the one who exposed these affairs was blackballed. That's how deep lesbianism goes in woman's basketball.

good post.

that's messed up b.

but to keep it funky, pokey chatman was hot in her prime. having an affair with her should be considered a priviledge.

 

[NeilCartwright]

I have 2 sisters who played in high school.....you talking 100% truth.

Middle sis and baby sis....


Middle sis kept it straight, but they got to my baby sis


But it was temporary.She never turned butch, but she ended up in a relationship with a butch broad for 2 years.


Went through a bunch of crazy drama, then went back to niccaz.


Married with 3 big head kids now

Mashallah

Here's a quote from my homegirl who has played D1 and internationally:
"98% of women in the wnba being gay is prob spot on. I'd say 65% (Out) in college, 10% curious 10% gamed or turned out, 10% confused and 5% adamantly against homosexuality "

 

[Art Barr]

this claim basically got shoved to the side. wonder why

we know why........

 

[L&HH]

So you're telling me the WNBA has 800% more lesbians relative to the American population.

What is the agenda here?

The 98% was clearly hyperbole. I wouldn't be surprised if women's ball had a disproportionate amount of homosexuals compared to the rest of the population. I'm sure the fashion industry has a disproportionate amount of homosexual men compared to the rest of the population.

With that said I think Wiggins probably could have expressed her concerns with more sensitive phrasing.
