:laff: I knew the thing to blow up the WNBA would be stan wars.

All of the sudden, my entire timeline is Angel Reese--like she's the only black woman in the WNBA :mjlol:

Aja Wilson is on a mid 90's Hakeem run, but, is largley ignored unless people have something to outrage over--ie her not having a signature shoe.

This is why I don't think this boom will last. They don't even like the winning teams.
It's a damn shame, ain't it.

No thread on it either. Which tells you all you need to know.

We got a whole damn extensive thread on here about Angel Reese's [meaningless] double doubles, to the point where even pointing out the absurdity of it has got me banned from the thread -

As I’ve mentioned before the media & fans are doing a disservice to the league in how it’s been covered. The short term hype is not sustainable & I salute the players who showed some push back against it. The goal should be to grow the game & get the little girls into the sport.

Instead we get Angel vs Clark OD & sexualizing them before every game(which is an entirely diff convo we need to have)

Sports discourse is cooked…

Then the former players came thru and we thought they was gne bring a certain element of discourse but most of them they shout hot takes for engagement or straight up ignorant..

Sports discourse was much better with less players and real journalists..yea most of them was cacs but atleast they was good at their job.

Now everything is built of engagement and hot take clips that try to go viral.

The WNBA thread is mostly active when either Indiana or Chicago is playing. It mostly dormant otherwise unless New York and Las Vegas is playing against each other.

I remember the days you couldn't pay anyone to talk about the WNBA. Look how far we've come.

They got baddies in WNBA now and I seen tweets goin viral from WNBA showin off the pretty ones. We got tol we was sexist and shir a decade ago when we said pretty bytches would make more nikkas tune in

Also somethin not talked about much the dyke class of the WNBA phasin out. The dykes in there hate the straight bytches but it not talked about. They SEETHING I remember the treatment them bytches gave Skylar years ago and the jealousy.

The current and former players give worse hot takes than the journalists ever did. Outside of obvious idiots like Whitlock.
