Teams are worth record amounts, players received life-changing contracts they earned, and the league’s popularity is at an all-time high.

But time and time again we’re faced with the reality that Cathy Engelbert lacks the people skills to run this league.

From failing to condemn racism and hate speech until it was too late, taking the first Native-American owned sports team and giving it to one of Trump’s cronies for cheap, and mispronouncing Natalie Nakase’s name when awarding her COTY, the proof is in the pudding.

Alyssa Thomas on the social media hatred and threats the team has received.

The conversation around Clark can never be normal because unlike most athletes (LeBron, Curry, Kobe) her rise to fame has little to do with on court performance. Her elevation was built on a faulty foundation of white grievance and misogynoir. That’s not sustainable

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

@custardlake She’s talking about a doctor being up to date on the science because BMI is not a measure of individual health and that is growing in recognition by the medical community

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

@ItsMeghanLHall It really feels like this is something she should be fined for though idk if it’s technically against the rules - there’s no rules about it because no player has ever done something classless and destructive specifically like this before afaik

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

Blocking this account after today, idc about update speed enough putting this made up shit on here to drive more harassment is just vile. Her throat is not on the injury report because there is no injury you added this because you want the engagement of the mob

El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

So fucked up to see her go from backing her players when they spoke on racism to endorsing that same racism, clearly she just follows the room and has no values of her own

[Mykea Rowe @Mykea13]

The crazy thing to me is Steph White was AT, DB and Nai coach at the time they endured the racist back lash they all received from that fan base so for her to act like that fan base isn’t insufferable pisses me off

[PETTY HATER @river_dusty]

The conservation will never be normal because Clark isn’t just a normal white baller like Sabrina or Stewie or Kelsey Plum. She’s a white grievance avatar for racist white America. This is beyond basketball.

When are y'all announcing the Aliyah Boston suspension?

Fist lands on throat no wind up or follow through...suspension.

Double elbow to the throat with clear wind up and follow through...no biggie.

WNBA too moved by the general public for me. Fans who are currently botting their All-Star polls and calling Black players slurs crashed out so they bent like a $2 whore.

Cathy’s league weak and soft af

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

She quite literally booked brand deals off of that dirty play, and her team that supposedly cares about safety didn’t have shit to say about that

[Science ftw @Science_FTW_]

The dirtiest play in the WNBA the last several years, and one of the dirtiest plays of all time was Sophie's premeditated cheap shot on Sheldon.

CC fans wildly celebrated her, sent to an All-Star game (looking like two) and gave her an unearned brand, "The Enforcer."

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

“Player safety should be paramount” and their star makes a mockery of actual safety every game with her dumbass flopping

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

“Player safety should be paramount” from the franchise that has done nothing to discourage their fan base from the constant harassment and threats towards every other team

[River 🇵🇸 @riverdyke]

“Player safety should be paramount” from the franchise that promoted SC as an “enforcer” when she got similarly physical
