WNBA thread… 28.5 ain’t your pay cut

[dixiehack]

The NCAA isn't the only outfit not to know what it has on its hands.



But in an hour of need, a hero arises.

No one was airing Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso's WNBA preseason debuts, so an X user livestreamed it

As @heyheyitsalli streamed the game over the next two hours, her stream peaked at 173,381 viewers and has since hit more than 400,000 views through replay. It was grainier than professional broadcasts and shot in vertical mode for an hour, but it was clearly better than nothing.

I thought/hoped that word peaked in 2013.

A reporter trying to sound cool or desperate foe attention. Probably both.

It's embarrassing how many men cannot handle being around women in a professional setting without making complete assholes of themselves.

Wonder if any NBA player got asked if his shawty was going to attend.

A better answer would have been:

1) "Who are you? Spell out your first and last names. Who do you work for? How did you get your credential?"

2) "None of your forkin business."

Wasn't it a woman who asked the "bae" question? Sure sounded female on the audio.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I'll amend this to… can we treat her like an athlete and not be condescending and weird?

Get ready for a lot of columns about the Indianapolis Indians this summer.

See, what surprises me is that the column didn't call out the offending reporter by name. Why wouldn't he? Because it was a woman, and he doesn't want to spoil his narrative?

IndyStar could have picked up some goodwill/saved face in the couple days after that debacle by suspending him and announcing it, and maybe even have done Doyel a favor in the long run. Instead the Star won't comment and Doyel basically has to lie about it, saying he had a family trip. Well done, Gannett.
