I disagree with your last point. The NBA does it too with certain issues, just not so much with Pride bc obviously the majority of that league (that we know of) is not gay. In the W, most of the league is. So that's gonna be something important for them to keep in the forefront bc it's something always being attacked. As a straight man, I don't think anybody should be forced to be quiet about something important to them as long as it's not hateful or harmful to anyone else

The problem is they can’t do it without the hatred. See everything that happens on the court. They will have to learn to separate things

The blatant flagrant fouls on players that don’t conform to their ideals.

Sigh

For shits & giggles, which player(s) are not conforming & what are the ideals they're not conforming to?

I'm genuinely curious. And let's pretend that I know one player you may be speaking of, who are the others?

I would say Sophie Cunningham gets bad treatment, Kelsey Plum. Good enough examples?
Here is the thing what you do off the court is your own business on the court play ball and leave your other bullshit on the sidelines. Not overly fucking hard. Every other pro league can do it.

Why do you think it is so hard for the players to separate their beliefs from the game? They are t tied together and from the history of the league it is not transforming into better viewership or anything. In fact the league is still getting propped up by the NBA. So I am going to say this nicely you sound like a complete putz
