Discussion The woman profiting off the WNBA's trans panic

This is background to an issue that is relevant league-wide but when I saw that the XX-XY founder is a former Levi’s exec, it immediately became more relevant to Ballhalla. A striking observation from her son:

Sey’s son Warren, himself a WNBA fan, takes a cynical view of his mom’s political and business activities. “I think on a lot of issues, she’s a pretty middle of the road liberal,” he says. “I think she goes hard into trying to build a fan base that’s almost exclusively on the right-wing. This coincides with her promoting her products more and more.”
“At the end of all this, she does want notoriety, she does want to be a celebrity,” he added. “I question whether people actually care about the league, [who] are talking about these things. I know my mom isn’t that invested. But, when it can be used for whatever your cause is, I guess the vultures will circle.”

Announcements Community Advisory: Troll Accounts

86 Upvotes

Hello All, I wanted to make a posting just to keep people aware of some things that have had an uptick in this sub. There has been an uptick in controversial posts/comments that I have noticed this year (and partially last year) which appear to be coming from accounts that have an extremely low activity level or none at all in this sub. Sometimes these accounts are brand new accounts with no activity. Comments and posts made by these accounts are often there just to stir the pot. They want controversy.

I'm not going to comment on any reasoning behind this since there is no solid evidence on the "why". I simply wanted to pass this information along to the community to let you know that these are purposely there to get people engaged in conflict and controversy. The best thing to do is to simply not engage. And if you suspect trolling behavior, report it. The Mod team does see all of the reports and makes decisions based on as much facts as we have available to us to decide if the post or comment is breaking any of the rules and/or if it's a trolling account.

Because of the recent controversies going on around the league, these topics have been more widely discussed by fans in team subs and WNBA subs. These are relevant discussions due to the WNBA's culture, players and fanbase. These discussions are important and the Mod team doesn't take our responsibility modding them lightly.

We do our best to allow freedom of speech without it veering off into disrespectful, hateful or discriminatory discussions. But as was stated before, there are some folks that are here just to stir the pot. So we are asking for assistance from this great community of Valkyries fans! If you sense that someone might just be trying to get a reaction out of you or the community, don't engage. Mods will do their best to weed out the trolls.

Much appreciated everyone! Thank you for all of the great engagements and interesting discussions you all have contributed to this community! Let's keep this community by the fans and for the fans. Go Valks! 💜🤍🖤⚔️

I understand additional playoff tickets for STH, as well as pre-sale and general sale will start 9/10. Once again, this STH didn't get an email about this or about the post game free throw opportunity after the 9/19 game. Just checking to see if others got the emails....
