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.

And Democrats prevent black children from getting a good education.
Using her own reasoning she should be asked “under what circumstances could America ever celebrate the anniversary of our founding?” If, as I suspect, she can’t answer the question she should be ignored. She’s an idiot. After all we can undo something that was done over 300 years ago.
Apparently nobody else does either. The NBA is picking up the tab I suspect for DEI reasons.
And she thinks she would have a job if it were not for USA, ungrateful nit
Victims the RAT party has exploited for the past 100+ years, and then tossed out to support illegals. Blacks have kept themselves slaves, and made themselves sorry ass victims, by believing the BS of the RAT party that supported, and fought to keep slavery intact.
Have overpaid players return the moneys they were paid except minimum wages and train them to dig graves.
Yes, but it is a per capita rate of the perpetrators, not the victims.
Let me give an even more extreme example to illustrate the difference.
Let's say the population of a town is 1,000 white, 10 black. In that town, there are 5 black on white crimes and 10 white on black crimes.
In this town, the incidents of black on white offenders is 5/10 or a rate of 500/1000. The incidents of white on black offenders is 10/1000, which would also be the rate, since we're looking at per 1000. If you make this table like the one posted, blacks are 50 times more likely to commit crimes against whites than vice versa. (500/1000 vs 10/1000)
But if you look at the victims, it's a different story. There are 10 blacks in the town and 10 white on black crimes. The incidence of black victims is 10/10, or a rate of 1000/1000. The incidence of white victims is 5/1000. So in this town, blacks are 200 TIMES MORE LIKELY to be victims of white on black crimes than vice-versa. (Emphasis added because that's the way the NY Slimes would do it.)
My points:
1. The same numbers can tell two different stories that are both lies, depending on who you want to scare. (Lies, damned lies, and statistics.)
2. You can't just transpose those numbers.
I guess that means no nations of Africa can wear their flag at Fifa?
LOL...are you a staff writer for “60 Minutes”?
I’d buy her a first class ticket to any African country as long as she promises to stay there forever
WNBA? What’s that?
