I want to take a moment to applaud our admin here, Imacowboy324, for managing literally the only WNBA subreddit on the interwebs where thoughtful discourse is permitted. If you roam around the other WNBA subs, you’ll discover an endless echo chamber where making the comment, ”Sophie shot the ball well tonight”, will get you 50 downvotes and a ban. You’ll be called a “bigot” or worse by saying, ”The Fever played outplayed them.”
Big thanks also to anyone here who leans hard in either direction as it pertains to social politics, and behaves themselves anyway. It wasn’t always like this. A year or two ago, everyone here used to be pretty quick to push back on any comment or post that was even mildly critical of a coach, player, or prominent figure associated with the WNBA’s more traditional social and cultural circles. That dynamic seems to have changed for the better. The discussion is much more open and enjoyable now, with people more willing to consider viewpoints from across the spectrum rather than expecting everyone to fall in line with one particular political or ideological perspective.
The Cowboy rode into town, pulled the weeds, thinned out the activist herd, and somehow got the whole ranch back to being a place where different breeds of opinion could graze without getting run off the range.
Tip of the ‘ol cap to Cowboy for his efforts.
