Running 2026 WNBA Thread

[Alma]

If all of my information about the WNBA came from Barstool tweets

You mean a USA Today column, ESPN story, Twitter and a criticism from a writer at The Athletic? What the hell are you talking about?

C'mon, man.

You are the one who said these are the dominant talking points going into the all-star break. And they might be, if you're an angry white guy who doesn't follow the league.

You drop by here now and then to drop in the "Caitlin Clark needs rescuing" argument of the week. Now you are posting a bench player's MAGA comments and acting like they are of great significance.

The WNBA should be better about responding to the Dave Portnoy talking point du jour, but the last thing they need to do is cater to any of it.

For a woman who claims she isn't MAGA, Sophie sure loves to cavort in MAGA spaces, between the anti-trans thing and playing round card girl at UFC fights. I'd respect her more if she just decided to embrace the heel persona, like Trump or Leavitt does.

Nancy Armour is a woman. So is the profile writer of the Sophie Cunningham's ESPN story. So is Brianna Turner.

Again, what the hell kind of gaslighting nonsense is this?

Otherwise, hold forth on the Lynx and Aces. Free message board.

This is one of the most brutal takedowns I've ever read.

Well, cool is cultural Marxism now. To the cools credit, they're not hiding it anymore.

Stunningly, this takedown - written by a woman! - focused on the dominant storylines apparently conjured up by Barstool!

WTF is the orange carpet? It’s not red?

 

[BTExpress]

Branding.

A basketball is orange.

I'm not kidding.

It's also their logo color.

Now I’m confused.

 

[SixToe]

Do they intentionally make these continuous, idiotic decisions or do the people making them just have yes! sycophants who won’t disagree?

Great. Except the WNBA doesn't use an orange basketball.
