Should Be Liberty Head Coach Teresa Weatherspoon is back with Vinyl for the third year in a row. #Unrivaled #WNBA
#Unrivaled will always get it right. More Black women leading teams. More Black women. This is what leadership should look like in women's sports and women's basketball. Way to go. Excited for Pokey and Barb(!!!!) to get their shot (as well as Jarell).
The MNBA and the WNBA need to split. The W needs to stand on its own. At this point, Silver and the boys are just handcuffing the league.
To be more serious, this is all endemic of the NBA’s lack of care toward the WNBA, a league in which it maintains a massive ownership stake. The NBA Board of Governors gets a say on stuff like WNBA relocation. But then the WNBA gets hung out to dry time and again.
Anti-trans Dems have made it clear they don’t think trans folks are important to their election chances. If that’s the case, cis folks shouldn’t be trying to convince trans people to vote for them. The onus was on the candidate. They failed. Vote shaming will only further alienate you, personally.
What I don’t understand is, GOP operatives are admitting that the anti-trans rhetoric isn’t winning among most voters. In fact, there’s evidence it’s going the opposite in some areas. So the Dems who leech onto this train are abandoning a marginalized community with zero political benefit.
Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

A fun thought experiment: Create a 12 person roster for your fav team, made up of any current WNBA players who have ever played for that team: Here's my Seattle Storm: Stewie Nneka Dom Ezi Awa Natasha Howard Gabby Brittney Sykes Jordin Canada Flau'jae Natisha Hiedeman Skylar
Hey remember when we as a generation looked the other way on Eminem’s decades long career built on homophobia because he said he didn’t like Trump and we still wanted to sing “Real Slim Shady” without feeling guilty about it? Anyway…

What do you think Persephone is most proud of in her career - her CMLL record, her current TBS Title reign, or the fact that she’s undefeated in Produce?

I think the real underlying motivation behind this shit isn't winning over "moderates", it's to discipline the party's own base. The party's right-wing decided we lost 2024 because the base was too Woke™️, and they want to discipline us into being less Woke™️
"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
