@JMichael557 @FeuxManning I remember the reporting and it was pretty loudly vocalized that AR had beat out DJ or at the least it was close.

Sometimes people argue just for the sake of arguing cause the only telling thing here is that if a man trys to take it he's looked down upon and even shamed. If a woman takes it not a single person looks at her any different. But somehow this is abou t how women don't have a choice 🤯? Who's birthing the baby lol

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

@TheBackPage It’s telling because men have the choice. Women do not. So, in my mind, it reinforces how men can opt out of the experience but women can’t. So even posing the question is .. telling.

Connor from The Pat McAfee Show was sitting RIGHT NEXT to the fan who pointed at A’ja Wilson and confirmed all the fan said was:

“The foul is on you.” 😭

[Damien @HoshOnline]

@AuntieChelM @ImJustQuentin Uh whatever anyone feels about Trump one thing you can’t be serious about is that a “Trump supporter” just flat out equals racist lol.

Bro watched what happened and said she was “the paragon of professionalism” then precedes to make up a complete alternate reality of events that never happened rather than see what’s right in front of his eyes.

My thoughts on A’ja Wilson’s interaction with the Indiana Fever fan.

Stephen this IS his next career. You can’t deny the man has talent.

[Stephen Holder @HolderStephen]

So he’s like done, DONE with coaching 🤯 This man is freeeeee!

[Damien @HoshOnline]

You’re framing it like it’s a problem but her father did the same things and guess what? Players loved him for that.

NEWS: #Colts safety Cam Bynum says owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon is extremely hands-on with the team — even WORKING OUT alongside the players.

“She’s in the weight room working out while we’re getting our lift in.”

She also stands on the sideline and sits in on defensive meetings.

Okay……I’m going to vent, so thank you in advance for sticking around. This is why I feel so strongly about the A’ja Wilson/fan incident.

In sports, there’s always been this unspoken agreement between away players and home fans. It’s a huge part of what has made sports great!!

I think back to Magic Johnson laughing while telling a story about a fan in the 1980s at the Boston airport. He snarled as he recalled him saying, “Larry Bird is gonna kill you.” I remember smiling when I heard this because we all can relate. Even if we weren’t the type to say this, maybe we’ve had a family member who might’ve done this. After all, fan is short for “fanatic”.

Then in the NFL, you had the Dawg Pound, or even the famous wall in Green Bay. There are legendary stories we’ve heard from Hall of Fame players about how intimidating it was to play in these venues.

I’m not talking about slurs or abusive behavior, either. There have always been outliers among fans who cross that line, but we (the other 99% of fans) have always condemned that. The agreement was: “If you come here to play, we are going to make it extremely hard for you to win.” The player knew this, so they prepared accordingly and brought their A-game. The pretenders choked, while the others became legends.

Fans might boo, or yes, even point while saying, “That foul is on you.” That isn’t hate or disrespect…… it’s competition! Despite our differences, this was ALWAYS what brought us together in sports.

So somehow we went from the “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” generation into a time where former WNBA players, now in the media, are saying things like “she won’t tolerate the disrespect” or “don’t play with A’ja, she is tough.”

Maybe that’s it — we need to redefine what toughness is. Because losing control of your emotions and getting in the face of a fan (who was one of the hundreds pointing and saying “that’s on you”) isn’t tough. That makes you soft, thin-skinned, easily rattled, etc. Cussing out a fan when you know there’s a 0% chance of anything physical happening isn’t bold, courageous, or tough. It’s a waste of time.

Toughness is letting your game do the talking. Let those fans motivate you to reach levels in your game you didn’t know were possible. Besides, what’s tough about saying words? Maybe you hurt someone’s feelings? Oh no, not that……. — so for me, “A’ja don’t play” simply means she threw a hissy fit. That’s no different than a toddler who has not yet learned to cope with minor inconveniences. We don’t label them tough, nor should we do the same with A’ja.

So finally, if you enjoy the personal attacks or being offended, great, it’s a free country. Just know that if you continue down this path, you will ruin sports — one of the last things that brought us all together.

Thanks for reading my book.

Y'all love trying to quiet men when you don't like what they are saying 🤣

[K A Y 🤷🏽‍♀️ @calmekay]

All these former players talk more now than ever did while playing and I wish they would go back to shutting the fuck up

[Damien @HoshOnline]

This is what's wrong with America right now. This dude legit thinks this has anything to do with the situation rather than it's ONE woman being held accountable for overreacting to a fan pointing at her and saying "that's on you" 🤷🏾

[Byron W. @NiteHussla]

You want A’ja Wilson suspended because you know Indiana won’t beat her in game three. The alt right media also done this masterful job of pushing out a false narrative that the black WNBA players are “jealous of the white players”. Especially Caitlin Clark. That’s what’s REALLY going on here.
You have white nationalist,especially in the media,who’ve created a false narrative of some kind of “reverse racism” or A’ja Wilson is getting some sort of special privileges. She’s a superstar. She gets the same treatment any superstar had received. Michael Jordan,Steph Curry you name it. It’s not uncommon.
This has more to do with the false,white nationalist,racial narrative that’s been created in the WNBA overall about the black athletes in league than ‘A’ja Wilson herself. It’s a much bigger macro picture.

[Damien @HoshOnline]

@DontizzleJones Bro you all kinds of wrong. Indiana IS THE basketball capitol of the world and there would be many many many more women saying the same thing as your saying if it was true. Y'all need to be serious.

[Damien @HoshOnline]

@gturn3796 It’s almost like….its made up to try to fit a narrative or something 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Damien @HoshOnline]

Y’all are terrorist! Trying to ruin this man’s life cause this lady overreacted to being told a foul is on her by an opposing fan in the team’s home city smh.

[Kris Smith | PhD Student 📊🏀 @theblacktechie]

If I could locate the guy talking crazy to Chelsea previously on threads and LinkedIn, I should be able to locate this fan with A’ja.

[Damien @HoshOnline]

@KingJSTA2 Here you go 🙄

[Damien @HoshOnline]

How Aja defenders saw what happened last night smh

[Damien @HoshOnline]

You cannot just say whatever you want to fans in the stands. They are there to do a job! She clearly says B**** who do you think you are. She should be ejected along with the masculine Lady behind her 😂

[M ⁵ ATL BARBIE @moooopal]

syd was ready to step behind a’ja

[Damien @HoshOnline]

@LovelymarisaT "That's on you"? Does not DESERVE to be kicked out, and he was rightfully let back in. What are we doing 🤷🏾‍♂️
