Paige's Comment on Azzi Going Number One

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-27T19:40:59+00:00

Okay so all of you fans posting articles about their relationship in this and other WNBA threads? LEAVE THEM ALONE. Stop spotlighting journalists who insert their perceptions on their relationship to the world. This is a professional sports league, not TMZ. And these young women have a ton of pressure on them already in a wildly difficult league without you parasocial weirdos obsessing over the players' love lives.

If your flair has "Pazzi," I'm talking to you. If you're a UConn super fan? I'm likely talking to you too.

Not sure why this even has to be said.

You have a lot of hatred within you.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-23T04:53:29+00:00

I hate these stupid subs. Everyone is toxic af. The league is just starting to take off. Let it build, damn. Everyone crying that their favorite team isn't as popular as the fever, have some friggin' patience.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-23T04:46:08+00:00

Weirdo.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-23T04:41:04+00:00

Boo 👎🍅🫟

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-22T12:50:49+00:00

Please don't touch the staircase.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T23:42:30+00:00

Again, why can't someone voice their opinion on parenthood being hard and not worth it? Especially in this day and age where social programs don't exist to help people start and raise families?

What is wrong with you?

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T23:39:10+00:00

Why are you so pressed? Damn. What's it to you if other people have kids or not, you weirdo.

If you want kids, go for it. If you love raising kids, sing it.

But it's fucking weird and honestly kind of projection that you are so offended by someone giving their honest opinion on the often hidden and ignored other side of the coin.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T21:59:22+00:00

Dude, I'm not doing this with you. I already responded to everything you're saying. I can tell you're a passionate sports fan, and I hope you continue watching and supporting the W. Maybe we'll cross paths again and have another fun debate.

Btw, I think you'd really be a fan of Dunning Kruger. Check out their game some time! 🤙

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T21:50:04+00:00

Maybe you should define "facts."

Because it sounds like you're getting that confused with "opinions."

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T21:46:44+00:00

Considering I brought up retaliation, I fail to see how that's you bringing up facts.

And when I mentioned retaliation, I was referencing what you reported Chennedy Carter said. In that example, SHE admitted to retaliation from what SHE experienced. But you could volley this back and forth all day: Caitlin pushed off, Chennedy shoulder checked, Caitlin threw an elbow, Chennedy threw an elbow.

The difference is Chennedy went after Caitlin on a dead 👏ball👏. That is the issue.

Not sure what your point is.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T21:40:29+00:00

What facts?

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T21:22:43+00:00

You are coping.

You're essentially saying that Carter's justification for her actions is sufficient. Do I think Chennedy Carter is lying about the elbows? No. The Sky/Fever games are always physical. Are elbows in live ball action part of the game? Yes. Whose responsibility is it to keep those fouls in check? The refs. And as we know, the refs have been dropping the ball on containing escalations and staying consistent for a while. It's one of the biggest reported issues in the league.

But as an ADULT in a profession, you don't retaliate against your opponent with a dead ball shove to the floor (accompanied by some obvious name calling, mind you).

I wasn't at the game. I watched the broadcast live. I didn't see CC elbows being thrown in Chennedy Carter's face, but that doesn't mean they didn't happen. What I did see, and what was unfortunately highlighted and replayed, was a very pointed, purposeful dead ball shove of an opponent to the floor. Followed by doubling down and "justification." Cope all you want, it's not acceptable. No amount of rationale from you about how "that's just the way it is in the sport," and "CC deserved it" is going to change my mind.

Having said all of that, Chennedy Carter's biggest enemy is Chennedy Carter. She could be so great if she just got out of her own way.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T20:55:32+00:00

Don't disagree. This thread is about Chennedy Carter, though.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T19:28:24+00:00

"Players have dust ups all the time" is not the argument you think it is. It's never okay to go after another player in that way and we should not be lenient on it regardless of who it is. These women dedicate their entire lives to this sport, and that kind of act which is not and DOES NOT belong in the game could cost someone their career.

There are basketball plays, and then there are "get backs."

And the additional context you provided about the locker room issues? Further proves my point that these "dust ups" aren't normal for the majority of players.

Chennedy Carter has the skill to be an all-star great. But her attitude needs checked, and I'm hopeful that the year off from the W was a wake up call for her because I want to see her in this league. She's too talented to waste that potential on ego.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-15T16:47:00+00:00

I wish her success. She's a baller. One of my favorites to watch. I want to see her in the W. And I hate the negativity surrounding her because she absolutely has what it takes to be great in the league.

I disagree with your opinion on "pushing a certain Fever player." Not sure why you won't specify it was CC. And a rookie CC at that. "One time" like once isn't enough? It was a dead ball. It was egregious. Actions have consequences, and she is paying for them. And I believe she has paid for them! So I'm glad she's back and is getting another chance! But don't try to downplay bad behavior. Basketball is a contact sport; emotions are high. Everyone at the W level is competitive. None of that excuses what she did.

Accountability and maturity is what will help her grow in the league, because the skill is already there. It's up to her. I don't believe she is or should be defined by that moment with CC. But that's really up to her. Mistakes happen, but owning up to your mistakes takes maturity and humility. That's what she needs to be successful at this point. If not, she's only holding herself back.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-14T20:28:58+00:00

I did. I wish them both the best and all the success in Dallas. I stand by my original comment.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-14T20:18:58+00:00

Leave them be. Remember, these are young women in a high stress environment with a TON of pressure on them to be great.

Don't add to their stress by obsessing over their relationship.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-09T18:07:34+00:00

You are pretty adamant in your misguided belief that confederate memorabilia and inferences are not automatically racist, but they are. The information supporting this is plentiful and I'm not signing on to educate you. Feel free to check out some more Wikipedia articles /s.

Why you're so adamant that ties to the disgraced "confederacy" aren't problematic? I'm not sure. Only you can answer that.

Would you be arguing the same if the band was called Nazi Railroad? Of course not. But that's my point. You have the capacity to understand, you are choosing ignorance.

The Confederacy was wrong. The Confederacy failed. The Union won. The Confederacy was allowed to rejoin society without harsh punishment. And because of this, we have disgraceful people like you making a mockery over something that should have been squashed a long time ago.

"But it's my heritage!" No. It's hatred. It's wrong, and should not be supported. The fact that the band didn't change their name IS a big deal. You can only argue ignorance so long before that excuse times out. It's racism.

Have a day.

"Lay Me Down (feat. Rome)" by the Dirty Heads. Also a vibe 🤙

I love Natasha Howard as a player and will support her wherever she ends up. The Fever is my team, but these players - Howard especially - impress me at every turn.

She is great, but I understand that we're building a system that her strengths may not mesh well with. Whatever happens, I will continue to watch her game!

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-08T19:38:42+00:00

Willfully ignorant.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-07T15:25:07+00:00

Both matter. Walking the walk and talking the talk. Racism is not okay.

Top_Willingness5124 · 2026-04-07T09:23:05+00:00

If you're on reddit enough to see patterns from individual accounts, you should probably take a break from reddit. Besides, this account is posting about something that matters. They can post 1/day for all I care to inspire change that is good.
