for anyone who isn't aware, wnba players have been speaking out recently about the abuse they've been receiving online from sports betters who bet on them and weren't happy with the outcomes of the games. notably, chelsea gray blasted a guy who called her a racial slur because she didn't score as many points as he bet she would, and courtney williams posted a voice note of her response to a guy who said some absolutely vile stuff to her

i know most of the wnba fans on here are more casual watchers, but it's still something i think everyone who pays attention to the league should be aware of because it's astounding how many comments i've seen saying that the players should just suck it up because that comes with the territory and all athletes have to deal with it. while it's true that this problem is by no means unique to the wnba, that doesn't mean it's okay or that players should have to tolerate harassment and bigotry (i swear every single one of these comments is overtly racist, misogynistic, and/or homophobic)

if the league is going to openly endorse sports betting, partner with betting platforms, and actively promote betting during every single commercial break, then it NEEDS to also take measures to protect its players from the vitriol that betting inspires. personally i think it's incredibly fucked up that sports leagues are endorsing betting at all, but that's a conversation for another day. natasha cloud said it well when she was interviewed about it: if the wnba wants to endorse betting for the sake of financial growth, fine, but that cannot come at the expense of the players, and cathy needs to step up and protect them (in this way and so many more). elizabeth williams (secretary of the players’ association) said that there’s a meeting scheduled to discuss the issue with cathy soon, but i honestly don’t know how much we can expect to come from it

WPBL 2026 games public calendar

Hi all, I am getting really excited for the Women's Professional Baseball League to start on August 1st and the #1 thing I want to make sure I can do is watch games while they're on!!

Good news - this is really easy, because if it is any Wednesday-Sunday between August 1 and September 3, then there is a game on at 4:30 Pacific / 6:30 Central / 7:30 Eastern (North America). This is going to do WONDERS for my routine-loving self. Most Saturdays, there is also an earlier game (11a Pacific / 1p Central / 2p Eastern).

Better news - want to know who's playing and not miss a beat in your daily life integration? I made a public Google calendar that you can just add directly to your own, and you don't have to worry about the source being weird or something because the source is just me. Well, I am weird, but you know what I mean.

ical address for adding: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/f628ef15ec7d0f66dbe9964befdb479ea28356148f5f1ccdd22f05a847619441%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

You can watch all games for free on the WPBL YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wpbl_official

And don't worry if you can see an email address associated with the calendar, I know that is public-facing and it's a random throwaway from my pile of misc addresses that I'm using only for this.

hello???

If this is your third episode about the same thing in less than a month consider… you might be a part of the problem. At some point you have got to be able to say “that player is surrounded by racists, is being upheld by racists, she won’t disavow any racists” and then simply move on to the basketball of it all
