Yep and also a negative consequence of the Caitlin Clark hype. Before CC, the WNBA was not really on the cultural radar, except for unusual high profile events, like Griner's arrest in Russia (which quickly lent itself to culture war arguments)Its the social media around the league thats toxic.
If some fans only unquestionably accept certain kind of stories and claims as "true," (and often despite evidence to the contrary) perhaps they should stop knocking out teeth and instead engage in some self-reflection.Or, maybe some fans just assume what they read is true. If someone ever calls me a racist to my face, they're likely to get a few teeth knocked out.
Thank you, Mother Superior. I'll try to do better. I only hope that after taking your sincere and genuine advice that I'm able to once again look myself in the mirror.If some fans only unquestionably accept certain kind of stories and claims as "true," (and often despite evidence to the contrary) perhaps they should stop knocking out teeth and instead engage in some self-reflection.
Almost nothing is based in reality since the intentional assault on truth, the rise of 'alternative facts', and serial public lying took over the culture in 2016.The masterbaiters are driven by their selfish desire for clicks, and the bigger the fanbase, the more outrageous their baiting becomes. The biggest problem I see is that many people appear to not actually care whether or not the rumors are based in reality at all. Everyone is seeking clickattention, and even though many folks know they are re-posting misinformation, if it's getting them clicks and likes and re-shares, they're good with it.
Ugh.
Is this about the Griner thing? I think part of the issue was that you kept doubling downCareful 09, you'll get lambasted and shamed by the social media, truth and morals brigade who's likely to accuse you of homophobia and spreading lies for not having the gift of discernment.
She called Caitlyn a "white trash girl" or "white girl trash", one of the two. Hardlly fake news.
Correction, it was "trash ******* white girl."
Right. She said, "trash, ******* wack call."
Nothing but welcoming? So has Angel Reese. (Rolling eyes).
Whatever you have to tell yourself.
Geez.
Am I the only one with any sense? I assume you're saying the video itself was somehow manipulated? I kinda doubt it.
It's such a reach to believe the same person that coldcocked a TX Tech player while at Baylor used such inflammatory language. God forbid.![]()
Did you happen to notice that no has responded negatively to VolBall09's post about Jordan and TK?Careful 09, you'll get lambasted and shamed by the social media, truth and morals brigade who's likely to accuse you of homophobia and spreading lies for not having the gift of discernment.
