They questioned and/or criticized her honesty, commitment, and work ethic. Do you really not comprehend how that would bother a long-term employee?

>Seems like she thinks she is better than she is in reality.

You literally didn't know who she was before seeing this headline. Lol. How would you know?

Sure thing Rick and Morty lol, stick to watching cartoons! LOL

Some of these girls can't play, and it has nothing to do with their sex.

As a pro, wide-open air balls should never really happen. Multiple shot clock turnovers in succession should never happen. Multiple turnovers in a row shouldn't really happen. I have League Pass and I barely watch any of the games, but the ones I do watch are pathetic. Those girls need to practice their skills, be aware of the shot clock, understand the value of a possession, etc.

Why are they complaining about $75,000? Their product is not good. Also, they make a good living! To play basketball! If they want to make NBA money, they need to show it on the court. WNBA shooters should be as efficient as NBA scorers, due to the smaller ball and closer 3-point line. I'm assuming they don't put in the practice that NBA players do. If somebody paid me $75,000 to play ball on TV, I'd practice my a** off so I could show off and kick some a**. That's what sports were to me when I played, so I don't think the girls should give less effort just because they feel underpaid.

It's hard to make $75,000 in your 20's, even if you're responsible and make good decisions. Go practice, play the game with intelligence, and more money will come.

It's their fault the league isn't more successful after 20+ years. Try harder.

There are many womens sport leagues that rock, make money and are fun to watch like tennis golf and soccer. The WNBA is a joke. It wouldn't exist if they had to generate their own revenue. More akin to a local little league being sponsored by their AA team than a league in its own. Most people can only name one player, B. Griner, because of her time in prison and not for her skills on the court. Thats a failure.

Reply to comment by ShitPostQuokkaRome in [Official Source] New York Yankees president Randy Levine joins AC Milan's board of directors by ShitPostQuokkaRome

You know those friends you eventually have to “break up with” because they’ve gone so far down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole that they don’t even resemble their old self any more? Well for me that person said this about Levine, shortly before our break-up:

“Randy Levine needs to keep his JEW NOSE out of the Yankees operations.”

Not all Yankee fans are anti-semites. But from my one-guy sample size, I’m saying it might factor in to some degree. Shittily.

She provides zero information that shows us anything other than she’s mad at being traded.

These “allegations” came out hours after being traded. But I can’t make sense of what the allegations actually are. Could you elaborate perhaps?

She was promised things to entice her to sign her contract? What kind of things? Cuz you know that’s kinda the reason for a contract in the first place.

She was accused of signing the contract pregnant? That makes sense to hide when they are going pay you 2 years worth of pay for one year of work. Maybe she was unaware at the time either way it’s inconsequential because she signed the contract that Vegas had to honor.

“I was asked if I planned my pregnancy. When I responded, 'no,' I was then told that I 'was not taking precautions to not get pregnant.' I was being traded because 'I wouldn't be ready and we need bodies.'"

This is factual but somehow seems like her main gripe. She thinks she is ready. They don’t think she is. If she actually was ready they would have no reason to trade her in the first place.

Seems like she thinks she is better than she is in reality. Then she got reality checked by getting traded. Then she started throwing out vague ass accusations as payback.
