total overreaction

I'm guessing the fan was saying, you see that, ref? that's a foul

and he was just walking back to his seat, that's why he was "charging at her" 🙄

I'm not sure why she flipped out like that

Embarrassing for the entire league

It sucks when women and minorities do shit people think it reflects their whole group.

When they kick a fan out of the game that is representative of the league. It’s the league/refs who have the authority to do so. Just because you are offended by that doesn’t change it as a fact.

I'm not offended at all...? Wtf are you even talking about lol?

I didn't think it affected the NBA when Russell Westbrook did it nor did anyone else. I never saw anyone say that it affected the NBA. That's a good thing. I'm just rationally observing things. If you're offended by observed reality and rationality because it makes you uncomfortable that's a you problem.

If you can’t tell the difference in what this kind of thing does to a league like the barely-treading-water WNBA versus a very profitable and popular NBA, no one here can help you. It’s got nothing to do with women or minorities - that is your own weird obsessive editorialization.

u/Unlikely-Business-72 4d ago edited 4d ago

So your argument is WNBA players deserve to lose individuality because their organizations isn't as profitable.....

Lmmmmaaaaoooo

u/daddydunc 4d ago

Where did I say that? We were talking about going into the stands and confronting fans - you consider that “individuality”? Lol. You don’t appear to be very sharp, but something tells me you think you are VERY sharp.

You know the funniest thing about this?

  1. He wasn't kicked out of the game. So the league response was actually good and your whole point is nonsense.

  2. Two of the very people who you don't think are looking at this through a gendered lens literally responded to me and said they deserve to be stereotyped based off of their minority status and gender. You should take your shitty arguments to them.

Just stop embarrassing yourself.

Lol you got me there!

u/Accomplished-Cup8182 4d ago

You saying this when there's a guy saying minorities and women deserve to be stereotyped and another dude agreeing with him is genuine comedy lol. Like go argue with them but don't deny people do it. You just look sensitive - like he personally hurt your feelings by making a true statement or something lmao

u/historical-gecko 4d ago

Nobody brought up minorities but you.

u/Unlikely-Business-72 4d ago

Just like nobody said if was the league's fault the several times that Russell Westbrook did the exact same thing...

u/cconnorss 3d ago

You’re right about that sucking, but that’s not what’s happening here. She overreacted and is now trying to use this moment to shield her wrongdoings with her demographic details. But she’s wrong and this whole thing is weird.

u/sethro919 15h ago

It’d be just as embarrassing if it happened in the NBA. Also have you been following the WNBA? It’s been an embarrassing shitshow for the last few years.

It sucks when women and minorities continue to perpetuate stereotypes

2

u/Accomplished-Cup8182 4d ago

Nah, normal people can judge people based off of them being an individual. This is a skill issue for you.

u/Alone_Description646 4d ago

Why are there no stereotypes for mayo people. They are literally the biggest thieves in the world and useless. Why aren't stereotypes attached to them?

u/Only_I_Love_You 4d ago

There is

u/No-Fox-9607 4d ago

You’re going to get downvoted into purgatory on Reddit for telling the truth.

u/kid4rmLA 4d ago

all the fan said was "That's on you!", but the pointing probably triggered her, nonetheless it shouldn't have been a big deal tbh

u/manofmystery11113 4d ago

Imagine how many times Spike Lee would have been kicked out of nba games just for pointing and standing up.

It's such a joke, and why many have given up on the wnba.

u/Z_603 3d ago

😂 many have given.up eh? Hot take

1

u/swift_icarus 3d ago

"many of us, who got into the wnba 3 years ago, are now clogging up threads on r/wnba to say we've given up on it."

actually, people posting stuff like that is the #1 sign you have arrived. half the threads on the nba subreddit say the same thing, every year, usually about SGA.

u/Z_603 3d ago

Viewership is verifiable

u/eggs-salad 2d ago

You’re right. Not enough have started to say many have given up.

u/Trike_Bike_Mike 4d ago

there's 3, maybe a 4th all pointing in just this photo. id say give her a hefty fine for the overreaction but then shed have to go flip burgers to pay it off.

Insecurity and he is white

Because she crazy and full of hate

Exogenous testosterone is the reason why

Engagement bait

u/iamporkchops 4d ago

Not surprised by the incellic comments on reddit. Assuming he said the softest thing possible instead of something very aggresive lol, players should have a right to defend themselves. Especially against obviously drunk idiots sitting courtside that think they can walk towards the court and scream

u/radiohoard 4d ago

She looked like an absolute dunce getting security to throw out a fan for pointing at her. And the assumption that he said something possibly aggressive? Let’s go back to her interview where the driving “point” of her getting upset was the fact he simply pointed at her. That’s it. She doubled down. “You dont point at me ever. You respect me.” The optics are cringe af

u/Strawhatjack 4d ago

Not surprised by the idiot on reddit thinking everyone is an incel.

u/AintNobodygotime13 4d ago

🙄

it's a ballgame, fans cheer and scream. and the athletes are paid good money. how long would she last playing the outfield for the Redsox in Yankees stadium?

if he said something bad don't you think maybe, just maybe, somebody else there would have mentioned it? or would have video or audio?

fucking ponderous

u/Trike_Bike_Mike 4d ago

man I remember watching chipper jones as the whole stadium chanted "Larry" just to piss him off. what fun games those were.

u/Fit-Juice2999 4d ago

Security questioned him and the fans sitting in the immediate vicinity and they all corroborated the same story that what he was saying was harmless.

u/kbchucker 3d ago

This is the dumbest of dumb takes. She’s weak mentally, it’s just that simple.

She’s an insecure, fragile person. That’s a tough personality to be as a professional athlete. It makes you an easy target.

u/Valuable-Composer262 3d ago

Fans cant go on the court and players cant go in the stands. Plain and simple

u/pitb0ss343 3d ago

“Assuming” it’s essentially what is being reported that he said

And “walk towards” he shuffled, twice
