(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez) A few days ago I opined that if the WNBA is serious about making inroads into the American sports conscious, it would lose the More Woke Than Thou nonsense and start heavily promoting players like Sabrina Ionescu. In short, emphasize its players as athletes. A novel concept.
What the WNBA shouldn’t do is silly, childish, stuff like this … which it just did . Connecticut Sun head coach and general manager Curt Miller has been fined and suspended after his “inappropriate and offensive” comment toward Las Vegas Aces star Liz Cambage during a game on Sunday, the WNBA said. Following the Sun’s 76-65 win over the Aces, Cambage called out Miller after he complained to an WNBA official about a call, saying she weighs “300 pounds.” Cambage pointed out she’s 6 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 235 pounds, and slammed Miller for his remarks. It gets better: “I will never let a man disrespect me, ever, ever, ever, especially a little White one,” she said . It’s hard to pick a starting point among so many fertile possibilities.
One, trash talk in its many forms, including belittling an opponents weight/height/age/third grade report card has been ingrained into sports so long one suspects the real reason Cain offed Abel was one too many taunts after losing a one-on-one game in their driveway outside of the Garden of Eden. Theoretically, coaches are supposed to refrain from such exchanges. However, when a coach perceives one of his or her players being unfairly treated by an opponent using a height and/or size difference to their advantage, it is well within the realm of correctness to complain about same to the officiating crew. Cambage, whose star ability skill set apparently includes rabbit ears, should know by now that opposing coaches can and will say anything to officials they think might help steer future calls their way.
Next, Cambage just had to bring race into the picture. Because why not. One has to wonder if Cambage would have been so mortally offended had the other team’s coach been a black woman. Or, for that […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
