If the team all showed up at a Biden rally, they’d double attendance, so they’ve got that going.

If the government subsidizes any of the Athletic Organizations; NFL, NBA etc....it should stop immediately.

Well, he already has the ugly lesbian freaks of nature vote locked up so they would be superfluous.

Nobody watches the WNBA.

Nobody could pick any of them out of a lineup.

Nobody cares what they think.

How cute. I’m more of a beach volleyball fan myself. Did you know they keep score now?

Still, its like watching the retards storm the beaches.

They’re enlisting all of the bat-crap crazies to do all they can.

The cast of Happy Days? What are they going to do, dig them up?

The only good news is that after this, there won’t be anything left. People can’t live like this. Locked-down with a circus freak-show playing out in front of them. This has to be the last hurrah.

If they brought all their fans there might be a few dozen.

Caught a glimpse of a Storm game.
They had Breonna Taylor’s name on all jerseys and Black Lives Matter shirts when sitting on bench.

Basketball business is a culture that acts like a gang in a high school. The only way you can identify the conservatives is by their silence.

No biggy for the WNBA. They have no fans to lose.

First principles at the Karl Marx Graduate School of Business: keep the workers (players, in this case) happy and your business will succeed. And eff the customers (fans, in this case)...who needs ‘em.

I’m glad I didn’t vote early. Now I can vote based on the endorsement of a bunch of Sasquatch-looking lesbians.

I wonder if there’s anyone... ANYONE out there who would be swayed by this endorsement.
If anything, I would think that it would turn people off.
