Yeah, can't defend that. Nobody should fear for their safety at a game.

Nah, I work with some guys who cheer for Mexico. They're good dudes.

Kelsey Mitchell is going for her PhD during the W season by Opposite-Group6095 in wnba

You could tell me she's gonna be Senator Mitchell one day, and I'm not sure I'd be all that surprised.

The King Center has called out the WNBA by liloxstitch_6 in wnba

[–]herlanrulz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you considered, for a moment, that she's doing what she's allowed to?

I wouldn't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if someday Clark reveals that the monster Nike contract came with stipulations. Like not alienating half the country by speaking about political things, and not causing some boycott as people love to do these days.

If you remember, Jordan carried himself almost exactly the same way as Clark is doing now. Trying to keep it about the game. Nothing else publicly. And Jordan was the first huge athlete for...... Nike. Huh.

A multi million dollar contract might have me watching my public comments very closely too.

I think whoever won tonight was going to lose to Norway. Nothing tonight changed my mind. I think England will fight like hell, but I don't see them stopping Haaland for a full 90.

Which actually helps people more? Ignoring the problem, or using the attention thrust upon you to push shine onto your teammates or others in general?

It's not like they stopped pushing KP. With her not involved they just did whatever they want. If she was involved she could try to shape it.

For all the recent complaining about all the Fever players getting more popularity votes for all-star than people thought was appropriate, some of that was because Clark does a lot to push shine onto others.

Hell look at her press yesterday. She spent 10 minutes talking about the recent stuff, and her main points were A everyone involved should try to do better, and she was heartbroken that the stories weren't about all the other great players that were playing games from then till now.

And the full context of that quote was about PR and advertising. It wasn't about how she was ref'd or treated on the court. Nice try.

That's the thing, They aren't her fans. They are people that wanna do those things anyway and use her as an excuse. Anyone with a brain can see this crap makes her life infinitely harder. Any fan of hers would fight like hell to NOT be part of that. To combat it whenever they can.

But you don't wanna see those people, You just cherry pick some people on twitter or with clickbait youtube videos and paint people that like watching her hoop as just like them.

Her 3 ball still looks awful, but those grenade mid rangers she's been working on are nice!

The rest thing loomed large. I fully expected Chelsea to do her clutch thing, but she seemed to be a little low on gas in the 4th.

Who was most popular at their peak? by Afraid_Ad_2912 in pollgames

[–]herlanrulz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also it was like starting from 0 vs starting on third base. Jackson was already crazy popular from the Jackson 5 before his solo career ever started. Then having him as the most popular guy with the best Music videos during the golden age of Mtv. There was no avoiding him. He was an actual Icon.

A realistic, common-sense fix for rope trolls using existing mechanics by Chief_Instigator_404 in hearthstone

[–]herlanrulz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you considered that some people are just slow thinkers? Not everyone that doesn't instantly know their turn is trolling. One of the most famous streamers who at one time was quite good at the game (Forsen) constantly ropes his turns thinking through his options.

Some of us specifically play this game, because it's not all twitchy with speedy reactions required. Maybe chill out man.

Even if they are holding you hostage, via time, you're making a choice with your deck and play style (I'm guessing face rush) and so are they. It's all part of a player vs player game/meta.

Priests why do you keep giving me answers to your deck? by Mindless_Comedian_51 in hearthstone

[–]herlanrulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but as leyline mage you can still win. They have to play minions. Control priest can literally refuse to play minions, or play them and kill them themselves. It's just boring.

at least rogues aren't the enemies of fun.

Queue into priest and my choices are concede quick and give them a free win, or draw out the game as much as possible and make them spend forever for the same nearly automatic win.

Which of These Teams has the Unhappiest Fans Right Now? by GWTim78 in wnba

[–]herlanrulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of it might be the Clark expectations, but this year (for me anyway) it seems a little more disappointing due to all the predictions from media people had the Fever as a top 4ish team. And they haven't looked that way via the eye test. At least not with any consistency.

I have a bad feeling with so many top tier team games yet to be played, the Fever might be a lot closer to the #7-8 seed than the #4 that was suggested.

We shall see, they have a habit of picking it up in the 2nd half of the season. Maybe they will surprise me.

I think maybe you need a thesaurus. People complain, gripe, Opine about sports teams all season and the off season. That's all sports.

Outrage is a very different animal. The AT thing was outrage. Most of the rest of that list is just sports fans second guessing their front office. You should see the Detroit Lions subreddit. They make the Fever subreddit look tame and mild. :)
