(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.

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 […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
