I will not watch any sports and will boycott any sponsors of that sport if this conduct continues. I will be writing letters and letting them know.

I hope these black racist, white lesbians and a few Marxists of all stripes enjoy playing with themselves as the fans leave and don’t come back. Oh wait! Never mind, that’s already happening. /sarc

If I didn’t deal in facts I would ignore that WNBA is totally financed by the increasingly loathsome NBA so they can heave two-handed shots at the goal while acting like little thugs...have never been endearing in the least. Epitome of privileged welfare recipients as they are a loss leader the nba subsidizes.

Wiggins: 98 percent of WNBA players are lesbians

Insists she faced discrimination for being straight

Former WBNA star Candice Wiggins has claimed that she suffered from bullying in the sport due to being heterosexual, as the game is dominated by lesbian players.The Stanford University point guard was a standout during her college career, going on to enjoy an eight-year spell in the professional game before retiring in 2015 following an extremely short stint with the New York Liberty.

Now removed from the game, she has criticised the culture which blighted her enjoyment of her time in the big leagues.”My dreams didn’t come true in the WBNA, in fact it was quite the opposite,” she said in a revealing interview with the San Diego Tribune.

“I wanted to play for two more seasons but my mental state didn’t lend itself to that. I didn’t like the culture inside the WBNA and without saying too much, it was toxic for me and my spirit was being broken.

“Being heterosexual and straight and vocal in my identity as a straight woman was huge. I would say 98 percent of the women in the WBNA are gay women.”There was a whole different set of rules they could apply. There was a lot of jealousy and competition and we’re all fighting for crumbs.”

The 30-year-old confessed that she believes her sexual orientation contributed to making her a target for other players in the league.”The way I looked and the way I played created tension,” she continued.

“People were deliberately trying to hurt me all the time.”I had never been called the b-word so many times in my life than I was during my rookie season. I’d never been thrown to the ground so much.”The message was: ‘We don’t like you and we want you to know that’. It comes to a point where you get compared so much to the men that you start to mirror them.”So many people think that you must look and play like a man in order to gain respect but I was the opposite. I was proud to be a women but it didn’t fit well into that culture.”

I assume the stands were empty, but if not I would encourage fans to leave after the National Anthem was over.

Nobody watches the WNBA anyways(I never have and I like basketball or used to), so I guess they have little to lose apart from what little audience they had.
Always fun to see the enemy hit the self destruct button.
BUH BYE.

The collective IQ that walked off was still below 100.

“...infiltrated by The Left ...”

the infiltration has been going on since at the least the 60’s. Government, academia, churches, education, etc. are now saturated with them. And look what is happening - everywhere.
