the knee-jerk nature of so much WNBA discourse really sidelines fans from leveling legitimate criticism at the most gendered disparity in women's sports — the *extreme* lack of bureaucratic aptitude within these front offices and ownership groups

Yeah that was the commotion in my neighborhood…

In other hoops news more pertinent to Chicago, Skylar Diggins will be an "outside consultant" and off-the-court mentor to Notre Dame's women's basketball program. The release says she will leave for the Unrivaled season.

big failure from the NBA to not get two of its teams to move one (1) regular season game. the NBA owns 42% of the WNBA (functionally more, since a lot of NBA owners own teams) and should be invested in wanting the league to grow, even at minor expense to its more popular product

If JKR hates trans people so much then why does the new Harry Potter look like a lesbian TA who helps edit her esteemed Midwestern liberal arts school's quarterly poetry review
