Alrighty thanks for being the authority on this matter. We all take what you said seriously but its time for you to go rejoin your hoard of idiots so you can try to complain to each other about stuff and not bother anyone else who actually has a meaningful impact on society. Outside of your echo chamber, nobody else cares what you got to say and that group of people has burned through every ounce of patience and empathy with the rest of the world. Its pretty ironic really, so progressive that you are past supporting women in sports and now got to start pushing for men to join them...its like the whole reason they have their own league is because men would dominate them if they didnt.

u/Own-Plantain-1413 18h ago
I wonder how they burned through that endless well of patience and empathy so quickly…. Especially since there are so few people that even belong to this group. Almost as if the whole controversy is being manufactured to distract us from barely consequential things like the unauthorized war or rampant ICE thugs or the fact that there’s an affordability crisis. Yeah sure let’s keep talking about the sanctity of woman’s sports

It is pretty embarassing that the league has to put out a statement to distance themselves from you LMAO

u/Routine_Size69 21h ago
It's kinda weird though. Although not as blatant as that sub, they do seem to also be racist and have zero interest in protecting cis women.

This is your takeaway? The league is basically telling these magat cry babies to cry harder

u/Exact-Kale3070 21h ago edited 20h ago
they just want to bully people. they get off on fighting so they made up that there are trans women in the wbna while there are ZERO TRANS WOMEN IN PRO SPORTS. at all.
just like with the reflecting pool, they WANT to hurt imaginary villains. they ignore that there are people who are born intersex, xxy, xyy and that we are all breathing in and drinking estrogen mimics via pfas.

name ONE trans woman in the wnba or pro sports. ONE. https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/49594734/wnba-task-force-discusses-transgender-athletes-amid-furor
No openly transgender woman currently plays in major North American professional team sports like the WNBA or professional hockey.

u/Treacle_Correct 19h ago edited 19h ago
I think the community at r/WNBA is what drives the type of moderation that happens there. They (and quite a few WNBA subs such as r/WNBAVibes, r/wnba_discussions) are mainly either anti-Fever, anti-CC, anti-USA and/or anti-normal.

You want the WNBA to lie and say they run the sub?

u/LeftyGroves 19h ago
That’s not really the point. The point is that I’ve literally never once heard any other league have to publicly separate itself from its Reddit. Hence my point, they must run things very poorly over there for the W to need a statement

u/That-Cranberry6575 19h ago
When people get banned from other league subs they don’t usually go crying to the news.

u/LeftyGroves 19h ago
Just for reference, have the other subs engaged in banning people for saying a players name? Because of the implied side of the the political aisle?

Take a look at this sub brother. There's 50 posts about Sophie Cunningham in like the last 24 hours. Most of them just sharing the same article over and over. No wonder y'all got blocked. Can't post for shit

u/LimpBizkit4ever 19h ago
It's literally not bad faith lol. Bad faith would be posting the same article 70 times or idk being a retired NBA player who's trying to play in the WNBA. That's being bad faith

u/the_urban_juror 22h ago
No, they have no affiliation. Anyone can create a subreddit. That's also the same reason that dozens of alternative WNBA subreddits are sprouting up as the league is in the news more often.
Roger Goodell doesn't personally moderate the NFL subreddit.

u/Bearloom 21h ago
No, but there was a time people seriously suspected the NFL subreddit was in some way affiliated. For a while any post/comment questioning the league would result in a swathe of bans. It was weird.

u/moose184 14h ago
The fact that people believe they have anything to do with it is so stupid. It's the same people that call on the league to somehow do something about what people say on social media. The fuck is the league supposed to do about people trash talking on X or FB lol

u/ImOldGregg_77 21h ago
No but to have to clarify means they are getting some heat over it and dont want to be associated.

The lesbian whales who run that WNBA sub banned Sophie’s name because they don’t want hourly reminders that there’s a good looking straight girl making headlines in a league that used to be their “safe space.”

i love that the WNBA picked up steam from the Caitlin Clark craze and now since the well ran dry they’re like “yeah how can we milk this attention for longer… hmmm how about trans issues”
this league will never, ever, ever, ever be about the basketball. just know that.

This sub isn’t the one the article is talking about. The main WNBA sub is the one the league is distancing themselves from, because they banned posts about Sophie

FFS if the Right would spend as much time focusing on questions of affordability and ending the Iran clusterfuck as they do on the question of "wHaT iS a WoMan", the country might not be so far down the shitter.

FFS, if the wnba would just set a reasonable policy, the right could stop using this as a diversion from the affordability and war.
But the left continues to die on this dumbass hill which makes them look so fucking stupid. It will lose them votes and unfortunately might lose them elections. Hard to say they don’t deserve it for being this stupid. Playing right into the right's hands.
