One of the WNBA’s most prominent voices wants her league to consider the place of women in America at the birth of the country before agreeing to wear a celebratory jersey patch.

Aces forward Brianna Turner, the players association treasurer, balked at the idea that WNBA All-Stars should wear the “USA 250” patch on their jerseys that other professional sports leagues have adopted to celebrate America’s upcoming 250th birthday.

Perhaps she would be more comfortable wearing a lime green sex toy.

She knows enough to apply the rote brain dead left wing verities to any context that presents itself, but not enough to understand she slits her own economic throat by doing so. Typical lib, in other words

Does this brain donor honestly not know that pretty much every country has a history of slavery, many of them for centuries at levels far higher than the U.S., and that slavery still exists in many countries? Does the twit know that countries in Africa are among the worst offenders?

If the WNBA wasn’t subsidized, you wouldn’t hear this kind of crap.

The WNBA is a sorority and they rejected Caitlin Clark.

There are no consequences to their actions because the NBA will continue to give them $$$.

A few facts for the black racist...

Mark J. Perry@Mark_J_Perry
Here are some concerning crime data that won't be reported by the mainstream media:

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics' 2024 report "Criminal Victimization," Whites are 46X more likely to be the victim of a violent crime by a Black offender than Blacks being the victim of a White Offender (adjusted for population).

Whites as significantly disproportionate victims at the hand of Black criminals doesn't fit the standard narratives of victimhood, white privilege, systemic racism, etc., and gets ignored.

I just bought an America 250 car magnet. It will go next to the USA number 1 sticker and the Blue Lives Matter magnet.

These people will permanently move Independence Day to June 19, officially “National Independence Day” as written in law. July 4 will be purged by a future leftist activist because we’ve seen their playbook. Remove war history.

Lefty pronouncements are the only reason most folks have even heard of the WNBA.
It's their only way of getting any public attention at all.

Equally informative headline: Some woman is a Democrat.

Someone should remind Ms. Taylor that members of her race were the ones who sold her ancestors into slavery.
