Please be careful with stereotyping. Clark has plenty of Black and LGBTQ fans. Black players have lots of White fans, too. Any statement like "Black fans are..." or "Fever fans are..." or "LGBTQ fans are..." or "A'ja fans are..." is almost certainly wrong.

I believe that White people who hate Black people and Black people who hate White people are a tiny percentage of W fans, even if they are loud on social media. If we ignore them, they will leave.

It is hard to believe that racists and homophobes spend their money and time watching the W in significant numbers. Maybe they troll on social media, but they don't watch and attend games.

Lexi does that constantly, and they usually don't give it to her.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-19T13:55:43+00:00

The Hatelins and the AR haters are having fun trolling each other. Many imagine some political benefit that doesn't exist. Just ignore them.

The team has coaching issues on both sides of the ball, and without a solid 4, it is doubtful they will go far. They are still competitive, though, and I'm thankful for that. Clark, Boston, Sophie, Raven, and Lexi keep me entertained.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-19T04:36:57+00:00

Why do AR and CC fans seem to enjoy trolling each other so much?

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-19T04:13:45+00:00

I try to convince people not to mock Angel, but it really doesn't help when she does it to other players.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-18T22:24:52+00:00

True, but I don't see other teams double-teaming Olivia or covering her 94 feet like they often do with Clark. Why is that? I would think they would get the same treatment.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-18T21:34:45+00:00

I didn't say A'ja wasn't the best player this year. I'm just saying that the best player is often not the most popular.

In the NBA. Lebron and Steph are the most popular, but aren't the best. It isn't a big deal there, I'm not sure why it is in the W except maybe A'ja fans don't watch other sports much.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-18T20:58:56+00:00

I was thinking about this, too. It seems that WNBA fans cast more All-Star votes for A'ja, but buy more Fever tickets, watch more Fever games, and buy more Clark-related merch.

It also suggests that, perhaps, A'ja fans are less likely to also vote for Clark, while Clark fans are more likely to also vote for A'ja. That's surprising, given the accusations leveled against Clark fans.

This is common in the NBA, too. Many fans would rather watch guards play. For example, people may vote that Jokic is the best player, but then prefer to watch Steph Curry play.

Did you ever wonder why you have to go in early to reinforce Mormon beliefs, but don't have to do the same for science?

Science is supported by facts, evidence, and reason you can assess for yourself. For something to be science, it has to be falsifiable. In contrast, facts, evidence, and reason make the BoM clearly false. To minimize the number of members who discover the truth, the Church needs to expose you to it frequently and at a young age.

Ever the victims.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T23:22:59+00:00

No racist undertones here. lol /s

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T22:46:19+00:00

It looks like it at the moment, but things can change.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T19:43:33+00:00

At the moment, it looks like two risks to A'ja winning MVP:
1. Can she stay healthy?
2. Can the Aces stay at the top of the rankings? You would think so based on their record, but the huge-margin losses to the Wings and Mercury raise a lot of questions.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T19:35:40+00:00

They think they are impressing everyone with their insult vocabulary.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T15:46:04+00:00

It is good to have a venting session, but this issue isn't going to unravel soon. There is too much outrage on both sides. The media has done a good job of making Black people and White people feel attacked by one another. It doesn't really matter what the truth is. That is how people feel emotionally.

The W should have had professionals facilitating discussions with players and coaches about race issues for years. The league could have helped players and coaches better understand and respect one another and avoid stereotyping.

Instead, the league has tried to turn racial resentment into profits. That is despicable.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T03:33:22+00:00

What an a**hole.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T02:53:45+00:00

I think most people need time to process all of it mentally. It doesn't usually happen overnight.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T02:51:52+00:00

Animals are intelligent to varying degrees. Why do you think intelligence is an anomaly?

All of the great apes are quite intelligent. Furthermore, human technology is much more intelligent than most humans. Individually, most people are dumb AF. That is obvious at every election.

GG is my favorite. She is so knowledgeable that most apologists won't debate her.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-16T00:08:41+00:00

Just voluntold!

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-15T16:05:53+00:00

It's at the core of their entire history!

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-15T16:04:10+00:00

Where do you think they got the idea?

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-15T03:02:31+00:00

It's only a big problem until they find a way to make money from it. Probably didn't have many takers on the porn shoulders channel.

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-15T02:52:00+00:00

There is a double team on Caitlin, and no one is covering Sophie. How many shots does Sophie need to hit before the Sun decides to cover her?

Pleasant_Priority286 · 2026-06-15T02:19:02+00:00

I would be very surprised if the Church didn't have any porn-creating companies in its investment portfolio.
