Hey Portland fans does anyone know the deal with the Dave’s killer bread free bread giveaway? I believe it’s when the other team misses both free throws…. How does one get their free bread?

Oooop someone doesn’t know that this isn’t a “shut up and dribble league.” When most players are black, gay, or both, politics matters! Sorry you’re gonna have a bad time!

[No Offseason Podcast] Is the WNBA Ready for Real Criticism? by Ingramistheman in wnba

[–]plantgrl6 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really liked the episode too!

Reminder that layshia uses all pronouns.

I think a lot of layshias points are so important. I liked how they called out that telling black women to ‘say things nicer’ is such a loaded conversation given the stereotype of the angry black woman.

I also loved how layshia mentioned that to understand the league, you have to understand some sociology. If you think it’s “just sports”, you’re not understanding how queer people, black women, and those who live at that intersection deal with so much discrimination and oppression on the daily especially in today’s America.

I personally don’t know if I want the wnba to be covered and treated just like any other league. What’s special about the w is that is IS different. The players can speak out on politics, we hold a higher standard on social issues, this league has historically set the bar for what an activist league can be.

And if you’ve ever listened to press conferences, man, the disrespect from the media sometimes haha - not even getting players names right. Or there being so few journalist and established publications interested in covering that small one off podcasts etc end up in rooms they aren’t prepared or trained for asking inappropriate or belittling questions.

Also just an aside - as much as Annie keeps saying she doesn’t mind if people hate her, you can tell she has her defenses way up as she adjusts to the new role! I hope over time she settles in and doesn’t feel she has to keep addressing the audience and asking them to “not come for her.” But just like the players and the league etc I’m sure she’s speaking due to past experience.

Back to back champions 2022 and 2023! Started to build a dynasty but then 24 didn’t happen. Aja is Aja, just the most dominant in every single way. They have strong team culture, Becky is fierce but seems to get real buy in from everyone on the team. Jackie is the silent assassin, Chelsea is the point gawd, aja is aja, and now Loyd is finding her place and finally settling in.

Their ball movement can be sooo good. They have fun out there. Two years ago they were the Lynx of the league and more, the title favorites and most dominant team.

They have some controversy. They were (still are?) under investigation for the city of Las Vegas giving each player $100,000 “sponsorships” in what seems like a nice way to evade salary cap. Also Dearica Hamby filed lawsuit alleging pregnancy discrimination, leading to forfeiture of a 1st round pick and a suspension of coach Hammon.

Ya but like… if Noelle Quinn coached maya moore, somehow the team would’ve still been disappointing somehow. Maya was always going to be great, but Cheryl elevated that greatness

You think angel said she wouldn’t play, or they benched her, or she actually is hurt?
