I'm worried about you, buddy

If you were worth worrying about, I'd say the same. Performative dumbass.

Good thing you care so much and watches the W!

I watch a lot of women's sport, but something about "tHe W!" fans put me right off. Maybe you're just a terrible example, but it's a definite yikes.

That's probably it, yeah.

You've lost your damn mind.

Durden - if anyone can appreciate staying committed to a schtick, it’s me.

But this - can’t explain it. I think you are just next level schticking.

It's not a schtick, bro.

But thanks for commenting on something you don't even watch or care about.

If watching W basketball is a requirement to post in this thread, see ya.

Is that a wave hello?

Or a wave goodbye, like, not being inclusive?

It sounded like you wanted to leave, so I was supporting your decision.

It sounded like you were gatekeeping the thread you didn’t start, so I was just seeing if you were an inclusive person or not.

I’d also love to see some data on what percentage of the time a player who absorbs a Flagrant 2 on a shooting foul actually makes the shot because that was impressive.

Your obsession with who started a thread is never going to stop being utterly baffling.

But anyway, I would love larger participation in this thread. Especially if it's thoughtful and/or in good faith.

I just thought Ello's previous exchange was weird given that he says he doesn't even watch or like the league and it's fans.

Okay, so if you don't like it, and you don't watch it, why do you want to participate in the conversation? Is it to learn something? Is it to try and find a way into the fandom? Is it because you like talking with the people who are taking about it? Is it to troll? Is it to minimize and belittle something that others enjoy? Is it to post about women you'd be willing to fuck even though they probably wouldn't want to fuck you?

There's no gatekeeping, I just wonder why in certain cases.

Like I hate MLB. I don't watch it, I don't follow it, and so I don't find reasons to go into that thread very often.

I don't know. Just different posting styles and philosophies. You do you, though. It's just as easy to ignore a post / conversation as it is to stay out of a thread. So, really this is on me. I shouldn't have engaged the way that I did. My bad.

Anyway, I watched Marinne Johannes drop 7 threes at Barclays Center yesterday and thought, 'well that's the coolest thing I'll see today.'

Then Kayla McBride set the league record with 10 threes in a single game!

Man, the fucking Lynx. They're like Schrodinger's Team. It's impossible to love them and it's impossible to hate them.

So sick of her.

Do you really think it's okay for trans men to compete against women?
Have you ever seen the opposite, where trans women compete against men?
If you really want trans people to compete against someone, create a separate league for trans athletes so they can compete against each other, like paralympians do.

We aren't talking about trans men competing against women. We're talking about trans women being allowed to compete with other women.

I fully support trans men also being allowed to compete in men's sports, yes.

If we created a "Trans League" it would be a men v men league and a separate women v women league. Sound familiar?

Also, if you want to discuss trans issues I direct you toward the Trans Rights thread that we have (https://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtopic.php?t=16249) in the N&D forum.
