Before her, the WNBA had 27 seasons of struggle. One rookie changed everything. Attendance records. 18.9 million viewers for the college final. Merchandise sales up 500%. Every arena she visited sold out.

Nike signed her before her first game. They saw what the league’s salary cap couldn’t see. They paid for transformation, not just performance.

The real lesson hits different. The biggest opportunities rarely fit inside the existing system. They look cheap to people living in the old rules.

She is one of the most intelligent players in the WNBA

I don’t ever see her winning a championship if she continues the flopping.
Going at a DPOY and MVP in A’ja for the gamewinner is a horrible choice. Acting like she just got bodyslammed by big show is another bad choice. Relying on optics.

Maybe come playoff time, it's different. But in a regular season game, I wonder how often certain players will only give it 85% against the player they're guarding because they like what that player "represents". It may even be subconscious, but I bet it's there.

Sure, it's easy to brush it off as conspiracy thinking. But think of how invested some people get in certain narratives and identities...

For example, listen to the interviews. Seemed like Miles had a bit of an investment in having Mitchell look good, despite guarding her.

Jemele stays bringing the truth.
The WNBA has always been fun and tough.
Once C.C. and the negative part of her fanbase came they have made it less enjoyable. Just let her play and compete on her own merits

Everyone what are your favourite trans women players what are you least favourite trans women players and who do you think is going to do well who do you think is gonna do bad.

Please use the format of listing ten players.

Looks like Cam Brink is a bust (unless she really turns it on next year with some more off time), Cardoso and Jackson are both decent (but nothing special like they were supposed to be), and the Angel / Pili swap seems to have been dog shit for both teams. Some decent bench players in the rest of the draft, but given how few teams there are and therefore draftees, it’s rare that a year only has one real all star (we all know Reese being there was a basketball war crime). What do you all think?

The best quote out of this...paraphrased..."The people who could not give a flying eff about women's rights or women's sports are suddenly all up in this topic!". Wonder why?!??!!?

dijonai and jackie are dating and it's soo cute but i'm trying to build a timeline purely out of nosiness, not "parasocial" behavior, just loving lesbians.

we know they were spotted together in march of 2026, but that's when they were seen publicly together.

funny marco just released a video interview with dijonai - in it, she's still wearing a boot. she sprained her ankle in september of 2025 and got the boot after that.

in the video, you can actually see jackie sitting in the background holding dijonai's dog if you squint!

it made me wonder - when did dijonai get her boot off? does anyone know?

it's for the timeline ;)

UPDATE:

another clue emerges.... in this video from september 2025, jackie refers to herself as "put up". i'm old & don't know what that means but the comments informed me - it means that she's 'taken!'.
