i can’t believe i get to be alive while steph curry and gabby williams are the faces of golden state basketball mannnnn how lucky are we here in the bay
Gabby Williams, who’s been vocal about trans inclusion in sports, was asked what it's like to play for a fan base and a franchise that really speaks out for inclusion, that wants everyone to show up as their full selves:
“I've said it multiple times that Ballhalla became my safe space. I mean, I'll never stop fighting for those who maybe can't fight for themselves in this moment.
I'll continue to use my platform in that way, but it's scary, you know. Obviously, I was getting plenty of death threats. There was, you know, some security issues and stuff, and there were moments where I was like, how am I gonna play through all this? And then I would walk into Ballhalla and be like, oh, that's how, that's how.
So I want to thank our fan base for just being themselves because it allowed me to be myself, and that's you. This is what the Bay Area is all about. The Bay Area is a pioneer in these kinds of issues and topics. So I'm proud to represent the Bay.”
The rumoured rule changes are 💩
Those in charge at NA are coming up with a bunch of gimmicks! Rather than finding solutions to the actual issues in netball. I’ve said it before NA and SSN need to have separate boards. They could; market to adults, pay umpires, I could go on
THEY SAID THEY WERE A FAKE 2 SEED
THEY SAID GAME 1 WAS A FLUKE
THEY SAID DREAM IN 5
THEY SAID THEY COULDNT SCORE
THEY SAID GABBY WASNT GOOD ENOUGH
THEY SAID VB AND KIAH WERE GIMMICK PLAYERS
WHAT THEY GON SAY NOOOOOWWWW????
Fuck Netball New Zealand. They need an ENTIRE clear out. A bunch of wankers the lot of them. Absolutely trying to do everything they can to destroy the sport in New Zealand #netballchaos
@anggietulua All that just for a backup centre court in team of the year 😴😴 Should’ve been in the team over JLP imo. Was the only player that won her one on one matchup against her
@nettyjane5 Are they even getting paid to do the job though? Last I remember seeing someone said that the NNZ Chair doesn’t get paid to do the job but I might be totally wrong 😅
@Taylaoo1 I do think there’s an element of short privilege lol where the umpires look more closely and any infraction on 3ft looks so glaringly obvious because of the height mismatch
