The #WNBA is fascinating how many things are for the “female gaze”. The dancers are fully clothed. The halftime show is a BUFF male gymnast with a PUPPY as part of his act. Lol.
We just heard the newest @wnba franchise will be the @wnbagoldenstate
Valkyries.
We wanted to provide some stadium mascot inspo, courtesy of some of the Library's most beloved images in the Prints and Photographs Division. Behold: Brünnhilde!🐱
Lately all I do is read (yet more) romance novels in English and bead things. And marinate in the new Taylor Swift album. And sleep. It feels like I'm never not tired. #WNBA starts next week!!!
"It was about 500 words of apologizing and navel-gazing. Doyel’s mea culpa would have been much more effective if he had addressed what his exchange with Clark represents about how #WNBA players have often been disregarded by journalists like him."
No one has asked me, but I propose "Minnesota Fierce" as the permanent name of #PWHL Minnesota. Much like how the #MinnesotaTimberwolves (#NBA) and #Lynx (#WNBA) have distinct names that pair together well, I think #MinnesotaWild and #MinnesotaFierce would make a great duo and "Fierce" is evocative of a competitive, brave team.
I have questions about who Cube has been taking pictures with politically speaking. But this is kinda dope. I guess Ice Cube is ruining basketball with wokeness
My barber is one of those shops with the "Concealed carry permitted on these premises" sign kinda places, with a huge "Don't tread on me" flag on the wall. Despite all of that, they are great guys and are not alt-right at all, just cater to Grove City men, ya know? Anyway, I have been going there for 25 years, they cut my son's hair, etc.
Anyway, usually the conversation is about fishing competitions, or cars, or NFL. Today, it was NCAA women's basketball. And they weren't just acknowledging that it exists, they knew the teams that matter, the players that matter, were making predictions for the tournament that make sense. They even knew the WNBA enough to talk about which NCAAWBB players would likely go to which pro teams.
Talk eventually turned to Clark at Iowa, and the career scoring record. I pointed out that why are we talking about Caitlin going after the women's record, when the men's record was only 100 points or so more, and the general consensus was "FUCK YEAH TAKE IT ALL WOMAN."
Give the Aces credit. They needed this game to be a slog through mud to have a chance to win, and, so far, they have made that happen. Their defensive schemes have completely knocked the Liberty off their game all night long — even when they had the big leads🏀 #WNBA#WNBAFinals
