the big trick is to never ever hope for anything and always expect the worst no matter what #mythoughtprocess

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

also why is roberts back to playing all the starters like 30 minutes like if she was gna do this shit again they should have fired her with pebley

#like girl ariel isn't playing well? BFFR

cam is killing me with 4 fouls and 3 points in 11 minutes and roberts is killing me with not giving martin any minutes

#she plays kate at the 4 and is surprised when she doesn't play well like i can't #and park and gray are not playing well so idgi #dearica is also killing me so don't @ me

i keep my stupid heart WIDE OPEN at all times #myStupidHeart

#how it feels being a sparks fan sometimes #in this sick fucking world 😭

#lauren betts #was waiting for these photos lol

i will not stress about the la sparks front office or roster moves because none of it is in my control 🧘

#listened to no offseason and was like ugh abt them speculating d to toronto and switching to a tank approach bc nba #which idk if anyone other than reddit fans will be happy abt the latter but we'll see what happens by trade deadline i guess #i just don't think they're getting juju like it's going to be houston. lol #and the last 2 times they put their hopes into tanking it didn't really work in their favor lol

#toronto tempo

ready for what the next week brings...

#la sparks

lesson learned i wont watch the rest of the away games lol

dearica

you have to ask the question sometimes if the sparks just play better away when i'm not watching the game

dearica

or not

#the bench man lolll

you have to ask the question sometimes if the sparks just play better away when i'm not watching the game

#i turn off the game and theyre already scoring more after halftime like ok lol

if pebley's trade deadline plans were so bad it got her fired you know she was cooking up something worse than the rickea trade lol

#probably trading rae TBH or cam #the sparks are pretty reactionary from ownership down it's not great #i feel like the best way to move forward is just to not make any big trades hope for the best and have the new gm evaluate in offseason #unless kp is demanding out then trade her but idk if she is and ownership doesn't want to rebuild ultimately #i know some fans don't want to accept this but this has been clear since 2024 w/ magic's statement and curt's firing. lol #new gm hopefully can convince rae to stay bc they were obv lowballing her before and this prob ruined the rs #idk if nneka and kp will come back. d and ariel's contracts are not great but that's the gm's fault lol #d wanted to stay w them so they had the leverage to aim for a lower %/yr. maybe the cap will go up 2027 but we'll see #and the ariel trade shouldn't have happened so that is kind of the killer. but it is what it is now #im sure that the sparks will do smth annoying before the deadline instead but whatever. i'll deal with it when it comes lol #they need to revamp their analytics staff that convinced them ariel would work ultimately. and fire the staff that cleared kp #also during all this dearica is posting abt amaya's beauty company or wtv she's like anyway. asdkcdmsdzkzk

pili had the most cursed offseason like ankle injury then kidney infection then her ankle got infected like what the fuck 😭
