NEW POST: Kayla Thornton is still an x-factor for the Valkyries. This week's partnership story with @theixsports.bsky.social www.valkyriesbeat.com/p/valkyries-...

Kayla Thornton playing like she did *not* appreciate that most of us who made up fake Valkyries trade going into the deadline were putting her in the deals. I'm sorry KT! Your team doesn't have many contracts that made things work! #WNBA

watching this live made me laugh out loud

Kelsey Plum into double figures with this three #WNBA

it's very interesting that the people who most care about "protecting women's sports" also think women's sports are a joke that 100% should not exist. Probably shouldn't think too hard about those motivations while pushing their talking points, though.

I would imagine trans people are tired of being content, debates, publicity, fodder, and launch pads for conservative careers. Questions like this don’t factor in their humanity first, it’s another way to talk around them.

Maybe I missed it but didn’t see ANY acknowledgement from the Giants on socials about the Firebells opener yesterday?

I think the Heights are going to be so well coached they end up doing pretty well.

Frankie de la Cretaz@thefrankiedlc.news · 3d ago

So far the Firebells have looked like the most well-rounded team but I’m interested to see the Heights and the Queens when the conditions are better because I think that really hampered the players last night, especially defensively.

run it back

"The New York Mets may not be able to play a lick, but they're darn good people." "Babe Ruth has got nothing on me. I could show him a thing or two." "I've been watching these girls play since they were young and if they don't do it I'll kick them in the rear." Maybelle is amazing.

Firebells rallying in the third, up 6-1 and still no outs with runners on second and third
