Legs just explained SAS's point to Monica perfectly on Get Up. I hope he's on FT to repeat it. He got Monica to admit to the jealousy/envy talk and by putting CC on the Olympic team and seeing all of the WNBA greats embrace her in front of the world would have been smart.

what makes SAS talking down to Andraya about marketing even more stupid is that she's blown up for speaking strictly about hoops and her, Chiney, and Elle Duncan were getting universal praise and going viral the entire women's NCAA tournament for their studio show. They had good chemistry and were entertaining but they kept the hoops talk the MAIN THING, you even had people on social media saying if ESPN can produce a hoops studio show this good why can't they do the same for the NBA.

Basketball's New Favorite Studio Team

As more fans tune in to women’s basketball, ESPN studio analysts Elle Duncan, Chiney Ogwumike, and Andraya Carter are getting more attention.

Criticizing her marketing when her appeal is her knowledge about women’s hoops. You want someone to provide analysis, someone that watches games, she’s a go to.

Not everyone wants to be a talking head that just gives hot takes.

They didn't embrace Candace Parker, so why should CC get special treatment? This has gotten beyond ridiculous.

Marketing you idiot..

Nobody said your marketing has to be the same as SAS. There are a lot of journalists that make millions...

But if there's no market for what you're selling, don't matter how good you are. Nobody cares. This is life, not the sims. There's a limited amount of jobs and they care about NUMBERS. If you're not marketing yourself and putting up big numbers, they could give a damn about your skill.


This is TV

Did SAS really ban Monica McNutt? She hasn’t been on First Take since that whole debacle.

Did SAS really ban Monica McNutt? She hasn’t been on First Take since that whole debacle.

I’ve been wondering the same thing

They’ve both said they’re fine and she came on the day after…however, on Friday I noticed she was on Get Up with Chiney but only Chiney showed up for First Take right after
