Portland, Oregon and sloe gin fizz. She/her.
people would rather deploy large unreadable signs rather than reading and learning

Wait we got Cookie Monster singing the stretch tonight? This is so much better than when Philly had Elmo on the broadcast.

So what does anyone know about our new favorite Turkish league team Trabzonspor?

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

You gotta be shitting me. Moises? Sure, why would you ever want to actually develop a good, young hitter? And, you send him to the Angels who fuck everybody up.
Jordan Bastian@bastianmlb.bsky.social · 2d agoPer a source, the Cubs are trading Moises Ballesteros and Mason McGwire to the Angels for bat-missing reliever Ryan Zeferjahn, who is under control through 2030.
Remember, MLB wants you to be mad at the Dodgers for getting all the good players so you'll support a lockout and a salary cap that only benefits the owners of clubs that didn't want to pay the money YOU spend on baseball for players to play on YOUR team
the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure
Ok well that's over. It was not any better on the radio. #baonpdx
Maybe the funniest part of the arena shakedown is seeing investment groups claim loss of "foot traffic" for "small businesses" in the area. Like, what in the fuck are you even talking about? The place is bound by a freeway on one side, an abandoned river silo on the other, and jack shit between.
"These young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality."
![“Years ago, I encouraged the WNBA leadership: what’s our stance? What are we going to do when this occurs? Are we going to be ready? Are we going to be reactionary? And so I think it would make sense for our league to be leaders in this space,” she said. ” … I’ve chosen to educate myself about the space. I’ve chosen to listen to transgender families, and what I know is exclusion is not the answer. We’ve got to find a common ground and be inclusive. That’s the space. I think if we all come from that.”
Reeve then pondered the real issues facing women’s sports and whether the people attempting to “defend” them even know what they are.
“The [transgender]issue isn’t as big as the issues that we have in women’s sports,” she continued. “Whether it’s cisgender men that have held us down for years in spaces like being able to have access to facilities and uniforms and locker rooms, all the things that these young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality. We don’t even have the Equal Rights Amendment in all 50 states, right? So there’s real issues. This is an issue that I think that we can thoughtfully work through, and that’s my hope."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ljtaqjfy2qlxv2u5sb6njbhr/bafkreict6exctik6d3kjui5h7qjmkk4v465o7sv5twonjaw5rzudxfbv4i)

The WNBA product is so, so good. And there are enough people who want to consume it without wanting to embrace that fact that it's a league built by Black and queer athletes. CC gave them a way in that made them feel more comfortable, Cunningham is letting them wave their bigot flag proudly.
Inaugural lineups for the LA Queens against the New York Heights
The fact that this guy is shit-talking taxes while demanding taxpayer money for the renovation shows how bad faith this all is. I’m mostly disappointed in the Portlanders who have egged Dundon’s awful behavior on, especially the journalists.
The league has to get rid of this Dundon guy. He bought the Blazers to hold the city of Portland hostage for arena money and now he's telling all of his underlings to shittalk the city so he can move to Kansas City or something. Cut this shit out or the league will be held hostage by similar ghouls.
