Travers Supports Trans Kids!

I HATE it when people say “the culture wars” or “the discourse” are ruining the WNBA. BE PRECISE. Right-wing fascists are introducing misogyny and bigotry through their narratives and demands, in an effort to delegitimize an organization full of popular black women who vocally champion inclusivity.

There has never been a transgender woman who played in the WNBA, so Republicans have to manufacture one so that you don't think about Trump's inflation, his killing of school girls in Iran, or his family's corruption, and instead focus on a fake problem.

Hey fellow middle-aged White guys, if you're a bball fan like me, you're probably getting tons of anti-black, anti-trans, anti-women coded WNBA videos algorithmically forced on you. Go ahead and skip those clips, they are stupid. Go to a game or watch on tv. It's so good. Great fans, great athletes.

Thank you Ms. Jemelle Hill. Ms. Hill, formally of ESPN, has pointed out that all this men playing in the WNBA bullshit is part of the Heritage Foundation’s plan to delegitimize women’s sports and Title IX. The goal of Project 2025 and Christian Nationalism is to keep women barefoot and pregnant.

The WNBA is basically a US woman. After finally beginning to win a decades long fight for survival, respect and autonomy she lands in the crosshairs of the right wing manosphere’s relentless attempts to shut her down by projecting onto her it’s endless list of grievances and insecurities. #Exhausted

I know #notallfeverfame but shoutout to security who finally removed the Fever fans who wouldn’t quit shouting “fuck you bitches you fucking suck” at a WNBA game. Extra points for screaming that Sue Bird was a bitch when she was shown. Y’all just doing god’s work for women and girls in sport.

A player who receives a special whistle. There’s no way Reese is favoured by officials. I can think of a white player who receives a special whistle. Adam Silver has basically admitted that the W’s priority is to officiate to enable CC to score a lot of buckets without being defended by opponents

Hmmm... Looks like Sandy Brondello got herself in trouble using the classic Australian Sports term "protected species" in the WNBA. Textbook cultural misunderstanding.
