The one who yelled at the girls and got suspended.
Her wife, the actual person with money, is a former long-time Microsoft executive in HR. All the news stories are being illustrated with her, it's not the actual wife.
ERA doesn’t like to be reminded that sport owners shouldn’t scream to fans because political differences:

They demand these famous people should be constantly tapped into social media and must respond to every accusation. Once this particular instance was shown to be bullshit, the thread just died, and the posters demanding blood just never posted again. 
Lol, I remember that thread. Maximum retardation. Reeeeiotous being a retarded fucking idiot again.
It's a window into another world though where every accusation was immediately assumed to be a guilty verdict and the accused to be condemned regardless of evidence. Such a fucking idiotic time.
The worst thing is that they still want it to be the case.

So sad to see in these last few years, the league which I grew up watching from back when I was a little kid, the league that made my childhood worth living, has now been infiltrated by disgusting bigoted swamp creatures who hate every single thing the W stands for.
Keaton was not wrong. Shame on the grifter oxygen thief for being so boring and mediocre on her own that she resorts to making these inflammatory comments even though she has no clue what she's talking about and only cares about lining her pockets. Absolutely disgusting, and the W has always been better than this.

Exactly. This was an orchestrated theatrical production. They talking about how they were just waiting for someone to say something to them. One of those girls is the daughter of Brandi kruse’s friend and they trot her out every time they need to pretend they care about young girls, she’s been the “victim” in other Brandi kruse schemes

this is absurd wtf. the hypocrisy from the league is on another level. what is going on?! A league built by queer women, my god.

The teenagers made a choice to make their hateful views known. They were knowingly provoking reactions, filming every interaction, hoping people would argue with them (other fans are reporting this who were sitting near them). so they got the reaction they absolutely signed up for as bigots. Teenagers can be bigots and no, bigots shouldn't be welcome.
Do you know anything about the queer community or its history?? LGBTQ+ people have struggled together against this nonsense of people trying to will them out of existence. We aren't going backwards, we're going forwards and you are on the wrong side of history.

they need to get the news and democrats in congress to point it out. that will scare the league into doing something about it.

As a long-time queer Storm fan, I’m really disappointed that the comfort of transphobes is the priority. I didn’t expect much of the league but I expected better from my team. Merch and flags doesn’t mean anything if this is the actions you take.
This could have been handled in so many other ways.

None of the women in the WNBA want to go up against a male athlete. It is common sense. The days of pretending otherwise are fast coming to an end.

It's not a problem at all, in fact I think it's good. Younger kids who don't know what they're talking about is obviously bad, but teenagers are old enough to know, understand, and form their own political positions.
However, if teenagers want to participate in it, they need to also know that shit isn't always sweet and that if you're spewing BS you're going to get called on it. If she doesn't want to get called on it then maybe don't attend a WNBA game wearing inflammatory shirts and carrying inflammatory signs courtside

It’s a WNBA game babe, not the free market place of ideas. It’s meant to be an inclusive environment that makes everyone feel welcome. The Storm co owner was completely correct in shaming people who were making the space an unwelcoming environment

Especially if it's about this person's own teammate? The way people infantilize Clark is incredible and should be studied in the future. You can, in fact, be judged fairly by your own actions and the company you keep. Still waiting for a lot of white cis women to figure that one out.
But most importantly: fuck this stupid ass teammate of hers, and those supporters. Washington has a lot of these assholes and they're regarded as losers and mocked relentlessly. These clowns who bemoan the fact that they live in a deep blue state despite the fact that they've had the money and ability to leave for decades but won't because deep down they know red states ain't got shit for them.

I keep seeing this talking point but aren't lesbians by far the TERFiest people?They're the biggest losers in this nonsense. They're overly represented in women's sports. They often don't like sharing spaces with men. They're now being transphobic for refusing to hook up with trans women.
They never asked for any of this, queer or not.
They need to play game because US based LGBT organizations still feel the need to support Transwomen.

"The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists," he said Jan. 18 on Truth Social.
"They're paid agitators and insurrectionists," Trump said at a Jan. 20 press conference.
The next day in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said the "fake" protests were "done by agitators and professional insurrectionists. … They're professional troublemakers."
He added, "We are looking very strong at the money, too, in Minnesota and other places."
We asked the White House for Trump's evidence about "paid" protesters and received no response. Although some people on social media have provided what they said is evidence of such activity, we found none of the claims held up to scrutiny.

Not a diss, just saying that he would have a genuine audience there.
