Did anyone notice the scowl on A'ja's dad face when the TV camera panned on him? Something's wrong with that dude.
I liked the delay...like a boxer who forgot they were supposed to take a dive.

What happened to Candice Wiggins....
Retirement
On March 22, 2016, Wiggins announced her retirement from the WNBA after eight seasons.[14] Despite being only 29 years old and without a career-threatening injury, Wiggins expressed in a letter about her retirement that she was ready to move on from playing professional basketball.[14]
In a 2017 interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Wiggins revealed more about what led her to retire from basketball. Calling the league's culture "very, very harmful" and "toxic to me", she alleged that she had been bullied on the court throughout her WNBA career for being heterosexual and nationally popular. Wiggins added,
"I wanted to play two more seasons of WNBA, but the experience didn't lend itself to my mental state." During the interview, she remarked:
Me being heterosexual and straight, and being vocal in my identity as a straight woman was huge. I would say 98 percent of the women in the WNBA are gay women. It was a conformist type of place. There was a whole different set of rules they (the other players) could apply."[15][16]
Wiggins' remarks led to a major backlash from many WNBA players and other sports figures, but she largely stood by them. She did clarify her "98 percent" remark, saying: "It was my way to illustrate the isolation that I felt personally. I felt like the 2 percent versus the 98 percent."[17]
Hmm
Yes. This is only the 2nd time the Fever have ever beat the Aces in LV in the regular season. The first was like 2 weeks ago.

It's true to me. But i must have read the graphic they were showing in the post game wrong.
Maybe it was just home matchups or something.
ya, it was the first time they've beat LV in LV in the regular season.

Here's a clip that shows coverage by a news team. Notice how upset the woman is and how she's deeply affected. Obviously, we can see why, but it's interesting the amount of blowback CW received. Decide for yourself.
Her lingering back injury has been widely reported so expected. Fewer minutes is probably precautionary to some extent.
The CC super fans would undoubtedly go ballistic if she played more minutes and aggravated the injury under some asinine conspiracy theory that White is out to ruin Clark’s career. I previously read in this forum that White is doing everything in her power to limit Caitlin Clark so the reduced minutes fits that conspiracy also.
True, she is a hustle player and does get some offensive rebounds, but overall I’m not sure she’s a positive.
Until Olivia Miles does it in 74.
Paige saying black women should get the same opportunity as white women while playing in the WNBA is like a hockey player saying white men should get the same opportunity as black men while playing in the NHL.
I don’t know if you are trying to deliberately mislead (given your history of posting erroneous info) but Bueckers was specifically referring to equal opportunities to coach in the WNBA and not opportunities to play as you stated. It is my understanding that there are currently two black WNBA head coaches, both men.
Quit posting erroneous and misleading info.

At least we agree you're a stupid *****. All you have left is hoping someone doesn't proofread their voice to text. You're not worth the time. Maybe Mommy will read you a bedtime story tonight to get you over your Dana White Sophie nightmare.

We DO need more black head coaches in the NFL, because we need to see if they can win a Super Bowl where other white coaches have failed.
Hell get rid of Kevin O'Connell and hire a black coach, see if he can deliver the Vikings a f***ing Super Bowl to the nightmare inducing chagrin of Packers and Bears fans everywhere. Won't know unless you try!
It seems like every day the WNBA has a new record for someone!

Sources: Silver persuaded Engelbert to suspend Thomas after Clark incident
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was not going to suspend Alyssa Thomas for burying a fist onto Caitlin Clark’s throat three weeks ago until NBA Commissioner Adam Silver implored her to reverse course and issue a suspension, multiple sources told SBJ Tuesday.

No ones really shocked by that are they? Like I said before, if the W is going to get this figured out and maximize the opportunity given them, its going to take Silver and the owners cleaning house and putting someone in place that doesn't have this "we've all been screwed in the past" bias. Frankly , the horse has been out of the barn for awhile, and much of the opportunity has probably been lost already.Englebert never wanted to suspend AT

When a league is agenda driven it is nearly impossible to change course.
True enough, but start with Engelbert. Then most of the teams are owned by NBA franchise owners, I believe. Time for them to get involved not only in the product, but who they're hiring to coach and build these teams.
Sounds like she was on the hot seat but the massive CBA bought her more time.
It won't take long for this league's "rank and file" to find something new to complain about.
You don't think the owners have been involved this entire time?
Terrified to penalize the vets, even under normal scrutiny. This must be a hobby for "The Golf Set" of the WNBA.Englebert never wanted to suspend AT

And then you have networks like ESPN, the world-wide leader in Woke backing up the league, all the while not asking tough questions. Do they ever challenge league decisions? Hell no. They get parrots to "Justify" crap calls and other savories.
