SC girlies, y’all will be outnumbered Sunday. Y’all will hear things that’s used to throw you off your game. You might hear slurs. You might “feel” the uneasiness…but play anyway. Play together. Play free. Play your game. Leave it all on the line with a smile.
You got this!
Just because YOU just started watching women’s basketball doesn’t me WE ALL just started watchin. Some of us have been here for a hot minute. Some of us have been here the whole time. Your reason for turning it on your tv isn’t EVERYBODY’S reason. Understand that!
I took a screenshot bc I don’t want them to get the interaction.
Nobody hates HER. She’s a phenomenal player. Ppl hate her fans who act like she invented the wheel & the media for making it seem like she did. She didn’t ask for this. Y’all put this on her. Y’all using her.
@SheerOpulence_
We did the same for my sister. Mom tried to put her in a dress and I said nawww. We laid her to rest in a champion sweatsuit in her fave color.

You’ve described a lot of jobs but I’d beg to differ with the decision making or critical thinking with fast food. Trying to figure out efficient ways to produce bc someone has ordered half the menu and there’s only one person on grill and the line is backed up makes you think.
@currie_sherrie
If you mean last year was your first time seeing it ever, then just say that. This is a typical defense play call. We all watched last year, as well as years prior. It’s y’all who just started watching that’s saying it’s something when it’s nothing.
Dear new fans, a lot of current pros has a “DT Story”. No need to take anything personal when it comes to her bc she don’t care who you are…it’s her personality at this point. Y’all making me side with the villain is not what I had on my bingo card.
If your argument for A’ja not being MVP is because she’s on a “super team”, then Stewie can’t have it either. Idc idc idc. Stop moving the goal posts & keep it consistent. Give it to AT then. Call it a day.
@p_to_the_j_
That’s my main issue with her. She can call out journalists writing about her, but she’s blind to the antics her players have to go through? She can’t call out folks sending AR death threats but she can state she wished KC pushed AR instead? I don’t like it.
@Kwasi_George35
“Dropped 30 on her” definitely tells us you didn’t watch the game 🤣🤣. I’ll help you out tho. She had 18 in the 1st quarter (Raven wasn’t the primary defender) and scored 12 the rest of the game.
She was salty at me bc I didn’t buy her a

jersey (she opted for the shorts first), but Rhyne came in clutch and gave her something way better than I could. Now she wants to be

Solidify your point in telling you that you have to make adjustments within 10 secs to get a large order out the window in a hope you have the staff to do is a point of not being difficult? You said you worked there but apparently you didn’t make it past orientation week

@LadyRaiderWBB
in a 78-71 win over Texas in the Southwest Conference Tournament.
She went on to score 177 points in the NCAA Tournament including 47 to win the title game and earn Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
But bc of your initial comment, you invited others to tear down the other players bc of this one action which rallied the opposed. You, as a person who is paid to use your words, should be more aware about how your words can impact a situation/dialogue.
@symonesayss_
And Myami talking about he’s “protective”. No, honey. He’s using you and your situations to make hisself the topic of discussion and it’s not cool. It’s like she loves that they’re mad and she’s not the reason.

So…the face of the W should be someone who isn’t in the W and hasn’t been for years? Now, no one said she wasn’t great. That’s neither here nor there. She should be the face of the W right now?
@_ErinLan
1) LA can play more than 1 position. 2) Naz a good one, but she made 2 buckets and had 1 more rebound than LA and she had 14 more minutes to do it. I mean the +/- have more to do with opportunities than anything.
@CWilliamson44
My brother asked me who was my fave player of all time and I said Swoopes. He said he never heard of her, and I said that’s the problem, sir. Anyone deemed “the female MJ” during their prime should be acknowledged everywhere. He then googled her accolades and was amazed
@p_to_the_j_
THIS PART! Stewie is a phenomenal player BUT to say she’s done better than A’ja and AT this year is just crazy. If I’m AT…this series just became personal and game 1 wasn’t a fluke.
@DogeProphecy
To you. You can’t speak for me. I’ve been watching since I was in the 4th grade. Yes it had a drop off, but that doesn’t mean that this year is the first year of growth. There’s been sold out crowds all through the league in the past couple of years. It’s just not reported
@keyjbrown
I thought about it last night. Folks would realize how great the product is if they paid attention to “most viewed game in ** years”. It shows you that folks really were tuned in before all the rah rah.

I read on here that Madea gives him the freedom to do drag without being judged and I think about that more after seeing reactions to his video

@aa_boston
She’s such a gem and sweetheart. She deserved wayyyyyyy more than she received from the media. She deserved more than what she was given.
I’ve looked t the clock, foot placement, and all that. This one isn’t making sense. So we’re just taking away points now. Oh ok. Great job. Come on

NEWSFLASH: It’s weird to want better medical treatment for players when they are laid out on the ground holding their head crying after a hard hit.
We’re asking for medical staff to react faster. For players to be taught how to react. For ppl to do their jobs.
yall so weird 😭 so every player who has a potential head injury yall see staff immediately run out a stretcher? poa was signaling she wanted to try to get up so they helped her up and angel held her. all of a sudden everyone is a paramedic and knows exactly what to do
@Natural_OneDurr
She defending her boo harder than she was defending herself. It’s cool tho. There’s still issues that needs to be fixed so 🤷🏽♀️ We trying to help her boo’s team win games at the end of the day.
@maliquemcmanus
She was walking around like her team lost. SMH…not sure what’s she’s thinking at that exact moment, but it doesn’t LOOK like an excited teammate of someone who just gave them another opportunity to win.
Didn’t televise her preseason game after winning Finals MVP in the BEST way
Didn’t “phase” the defending back to back champs the charter flights
Voted her REAL LOW on the best PF in the league (Should be
#1
)
…..Aces are about to 3 peat.
@WNBAStormChaser
Blaming one call for that loss? Not the missed free throws, lack of defense, and rushing shots in the last quarter? Oh, let’s not forget about having an opportunity to win in OT and they went quiet. Bottom line: don’t leave it to the ref. Finish the game.
Seeing how QUICK they all got to her, I knew that team was family. Becky knew before she landed. Chels and AC were there before she could get good footing. When you know your people, you just know.
New fans are gonna end up having the older fans join forces and put our differences to the side to come at the aid of the White Mamba. I definitely didn’t see this coming 365 days ago.
I believe the standings of her team deflects from her greatness this season. She has been phenomenal and it’s not talked about enough. Lost some great pieces of her team & had to step up and she answered the call every time.
If you didn’t watch the game, you’d probably think that Iowa won the championship with the treatment and praise they’re getting. No hate towards them, but it’s ridiculous that the champs are not being treated as champs as fans and local media gotta stand in the gap.
@asEYEsaid
Couldn’t do it when Aces and Liberty wanted to treat their players properly. Wasn’t a priority when BG was being harassed last year. The response was “everybody can’t do it so nobody can”. Now…only certain teams can do it. Smh.
One of my players lost her mom near the end of July. This kid is like my own child. I told her mom I will always have her best interest. This kid texts me everyday just to talk. We always talk about her going to a game with me.
Tomorrow, she will be going to her first W game.
Listen…
@AtlantaDream
I understand the demand grew for the Indiana game, but I’m not paying those prices when I had seats locked in. I’ll gladly watch from the telly.
@DarrenSmithNFL
She’s not the best player, she’s the most marketed player. The reason why folks weren’t “tuning in” is bc the cameras were not on. The craziest thing is that she has given these folks their flowers & her fans are still lazy in research. We’ve seen her style of play before.
Aces player said “don’t let your mouth write a check that your ass can’t cash” and y’all calling them the ones who can’t take trash talk or weird? (Thread)
So…the rookies were lookin like vets today. Whether y’all admit it or not, they showed up and gave the
#2
team of the league a GOOD run for their money without having all the pieces. Emma & Berger need more minutes. Boston did her thing. That rotation could do something.
1) who is “yall”?
2) the decline of education started way before COVID but y’all are hearing a 3 year gap and placing it on a pandemic when in fact, he used other grade levels as an example.
3) again…who is “yall”? I know it’s not the teachers who have to suffer, too.
Bestie: you know A’ja’s coming out with a shoe in 2025
Me: Yup. Im getting 3 pair. 1 for the Son, 1 for the Holy Ghost, and 1 for the Father. That’s my way of thanking Him
@courtsidekenny
THIS! Cathy’s folks made that schedule bc they tried to milk those fans while she could bc they’re fickle fans. These players have been playing like this for YEARS. The W & Fever org doing her a disservice by not telling her that these GROWN WOMEN don’t care about none of that
The 53 pointer. I was present. As a Dream/Aces fan I was getting heckled a little bit supporting A’ja but I didn’t care. It was the greatest performance I’ve ever seen and Crime Mob was the halftime show so it was the best day ever.
I knew it was coming, but it stings a little more knowing it’s official. To dominate & contribute so much to the game from the UCONN days to the Olympics to the W. You couldn’t talk bball w/o mentioning Maya Moore. The game is better bc we had you. Thank you for the memories

@kelseybone3
Do you even know who you’re talking to? How many games have you attended? Did you do your own research or listen to what these folks who don’t know what’s going on in the W tell you? There’s WAY more who support than you’ve been told.
Everybody isn’t gonna be a fan of everybody. Everybody isn’t gonna celebrate everything. Criticism with suggestions isn’t hate. Trash talk and shade exists, but so does the mute/block button. You literally control your own situations. Either way, folks gonna talk regardless.
