And the aspect that infuriates me is that this is an actual opportunity to advocate for women’s sports. People had meltdowns over Lia Thomas. People sent death threats to Imane Khalif. All in the name of “protecting women’s sports.”
But when it’s time to show up to games (maybe not even WNBA, but like high school?), to support women’s athletics, it’s mockery. It’s jokes. There were other comments about how the solution would be to have them play naked.
I worked with a former big WNBA star. Big enough that her name is “mainstream.” She’s working at a middle school.

i’ll never forget when one of the Washington Mystics took up coaching for the Wizards. what NBA player is taking on a second job to make ends meet?
