My heart hurts for trans WNBA fans because this rhetoric is nasty and hateful and it’s coming from people who don’t know 1 trans person irl - let alone a trans athlete. They also don’t care about the league. At all. They hate the league and the players. They are just bigots.
There are currently no openly transgender athletes actively competing in any major professional sports leagues these signs and current discourse is genuinely just to attack trans people for existing
Online trolls are one thing, but a public display for a player that’s rooted in celebrating bigotry right outside a WNBA venue ought to require a response from leadership of some form, whether it’s the league or team itself
Fucking awful. cannot imagine being an adult with a large platform and choosing to bully vulnerable children in this way. truly disgusting and beyond disappointing
Pat Tillman was shot 3 times in the back of the head from 10m by a fellow soldier after he started speaking publicly against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And we dilute his memory on purpose each year. Makes me sick.
pulisic is NOT playing like a 2x world cup champion and golden ball, golden boot, and ballon d’or winner please don’t speak on women’s soccer ever again
@LChamberlain44 I am having SOOO many conflicting feelings w this and I really appreciate your perspective. I think we all needed it a lil bit. It’s not lost on me that you’re a player and commissioner. 💜
My gut tells me that these conversations will age like early WNBA pay convos.
@TimPannell4@SoonerOnSONAR@justfactsmaam@D1Softball I’m grateful for Coach A bc now I know my school won’t let another athlete get hurt again. When the stakes are student athletes…whew.
MIZ, was rooting for Taylor and A&M this post season!
