This season's WNBA players hope that before you chant their names, you'll remember the victims of police and racial violence too.

WNBA stars Layshia Clarendon, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson will be wearing special uniforms designed to honor women who the league says "have been the forgotten victims of police brutality and racial violence" when the league's 2020 season tips off later this month.

Most womens’ sports are played by ugly lezzies that straight men and women (98% of the population) will not watch.

The good news for them is soon,thanks to SCOTUS, they will all be played by men who say they are women, so it might end up as some sort of minor league.

As for born females pro sports are gone forever.

If a WNBA player falls in a forest does it make a sound?

When blacks kill white or Asian women, is that racial violence?

It always has been a parasitic entity that only exists by siphoning away revenue from the NBA.

You’re kidding right? The audience for WNBA games is watching for the social justice. That’s why they watch it, it’s the exclusive sport of LGBTQ, particularly the angry butch lesbians. This won’t necessarily help their pathetic viewership ratings, but is certainly won’t hurt.

my mom almost named me a’ja

I think its a feminine name. Perhaps its related to Aisha, the name of Mad Mo's youngest and most favorite wife, who he married at a very tender age.

Could it be that the main reason she changed her mind is that you were a boy?

Chant their names? That assumes that anyone even knows their names.

But even in anonymity, they must demonstrate their woeness. Ha.

LOL! Gotcha!

My sister does substitute teaching in a large metro school system. She had one girl student named Shithead (but pronounced Shay - teed). I'm not kidding.

The result will be MASSIVE audience losses.

Hopefully. Won't affect the WNBA so much as their ratings are minuscule to begin with. But what will Roger Goodell when ratings fall ten per cent? Or even (hopefully) twenty per cent?!

Are they going to honor Tawana Brawley? (The young woman who lied about being sexually assaulted by white men and had Al Sharpton lead protests? The same Al Sharpton who incited rioters who killed a store owner?)

My wife is a first grade teacher in a well-to-do school district. She had one of those a couple of years ago, but it was a boy.

Sharpton didn't just lead the protests. He was the source of the hoax.

Nothing could matter less to me than what WNBA players do or don’t do.
