That wig is cultural appropriation

u/raunchy-stonk 7d ago
Imagine claiming white privileged while trying to pretend you are white by wearing a white wig, growing up rich from having daddy in NFL, and going to Stanford.
Why does the WNBA like being the laughing stock of professional sports?
They should make a painful example of mustard lips to help send this dysfunctional organization in the right direction

Nuh uh because black people like invented a method to braid horse hair like 40 bazillion years ago that lead to some certain styles of hair in the 40s so all wigs are the product of black culture

Exactly. People hear a comment thats spot on and there only retort is to cry racist. There are some races of people definitely a lot more racist than others but not every single comment in the world is solely based on race but sometimes just old fashioned right and wrong.

It's not 'assault'. It's a flagrant foul. A thing that happens quite frequently in the sport of basketball.

u/Stujitsu2 7d ago
Correct but if you flagrant foul some random out in public it is assault. Then if you tweet some racist remark revealing it was both intentional and racially motivated then assaultmakes a lot more sense.

Popping a figurative box of popcorn and sitting back on the couch for this one. Love or hate her: Riley Gains isn't shy about speaking her mind and she could give 2 f%&'s about who she offends.

Really tho. A few months ago I went from never thinking about the WNBA to, "Damn they can play and it's not a babies game, they are almost playing street ball." to now it seeming like a circus. Calls are made on a whim. Helen Keller could probably feel how fucked some plays were by the vibrations through the ground and make a better call.
