everything these people say sounds like it came from a 13th century inquisition manual. they are utterly deranged

nobles under a weak king loveeeee to proclaim a made-up heresy whenever they sense an opportunity to undermine their political rivals & seize the bishopric, when we all know simony is the real heresy and they’re the culprits !!

that was such pleading-for-your-life line… “I have kids!!” Okay, and?? You have public-facing job, by choice.

I, too, would value feedback if I was allowed to collect fines from anyone who gave it

Someone should ask if she has apologized to Natalie Nakase or called Elena Delle Donne yet.

Yeah… I believe Napheesa, sorry.

Jonathan Greenblatt no doubt trying to rush out an ADL statement endorsing this decision and condemning the ADL.

At the Lynx celebration tonight, Cheryl Reeve got a huge standing ovation and then yelled “I’m free!!” with the fist up 😂😂💙💚🤍

logging on to AO3

The Lynx Rebel Edition jerseys say "Change Starts With Us" right on them.

honestly, this is the best card they have in hand… “oh, a lockout? That’s fine, we’ll run a summer season of Unrivaled and expand the number of teams. I’m sure our broadcasting partners with will be happy to have something to fill their schedule with!”

“Sorry you feel that way” is not gonna cut it

like, people do not form unions and engage in bargaining for shits and giggles. It sucks, it doubles your workload on top of your actual job, it’s something you only resort to when all of your coworkers have reached their breaking point. And the players are clearly there w/these negotiations.

If you’ve ever had to unionize your workplace you know what a grueling process it is, and you also recognize your worst manager in Cathy Engelbert.

Lynx are having a celebration of the season tonight downtown… the MVPhee and Cheryl chants are gonna be so loud they’ll hear em in Saint Paul.

honestly, EVERY player should say something in support, because if the league tries to fine them all during an active labor negotiation, hoooo boy that would be a BAD look

This exit interview is a historic moment in sports. Bravo. Wow.

It was over for Cathy the minute two players decided to form their own league, and demonstrated a much better understanding of how to market & run it than she ever has. The thing holding the W back is so clearly its governing body. Players have the leverage right now. Full court press!

imagine the WNBA player union group chats right now after Phee turned on the flamethrower

We're headed for a lengthy work stoppage.

Because I doubt Phee is alone in this sentiment.

THAT is leadership, holy shit.

holy shit dawg, they’re about to fine her 100k and she does NOT care. I hope the other WNBA PA leadership will rally around her. Get Cathy tf out of there.

This season was incredible, Minnesota Lynx forever #loslynx

so now I have to root for the Aces or the Fever????? fuck this

1000%. The games have been incredible, the team has been lovable and selfless. Most fun I’ve had as a Lynx fan. We’re fortunate to have such a well run org, and it’s STILL ride or die for Cheryl.

Game 2 will haunt me. That was the one. I love this team so much, I will love them forever, but dropping that one after being up 20… that was it.

Lynx in 6

Goddamn. We were the best 4th quarter team in the league until this series, and suddenly it’s our worst quarter. Really felt like this was our year. This sucks.

Did… did the announcer just say “Diana Taurasi gives Phoenix the advantage?” ????

my dad back in Massachusetts texting me through this entire Lynx game 🩷 win or lose, nothing beats the bond I have with him over basketball
