Yikes, these are some very sensitive athletes. The WNBA is not ready for the spotlight that comes with success. The players really need some training on how to handle tougher media coverage and fan criticism.
I think it’s probably true that both social media & traditional media are as toxic as they’ve ever been, but yes – it’s obvious that the median WNBA player was not ready for the attention storm.
Easy to poke fun at, but it’s also a normal human reaction; we should give WNBA players some grace as they adjust.
It’s interesting it’s the players union that is driving this bus.
Now firls, play nice or mommy will.send you to your room to play.
Admittedly I am a “new” Fever fan for an obvious reason. However, if you view all the adulation being directed, not only here in Indianapolis, I could see why some players are getting a little tired of it.
What they should be thankful for is the increased TV money that is about to hit (higher salaries) and that the WNBA finally allows teams to fly charter.
Not attacking bc I think we agree, but wanted to expand. Your last sentence is what some people are pointing to when they push back on some of the other players complaining about the CC attention.
They know she raised all boats but some are abrasive and dismissive; even making untrue statements about “bad fans” in CT. For example, there was never a ROY competition. Why did we have to ignore what our eyes saw? It was outside the league/players, too: Nike signed her to a record deal last year. While they still have time to utilize her thru her shoe release, the only ad I can remember was way back in the summer with her still in an Iowa jersey. And the league has made an individual post announcement for the following awards: Coach of the Year, Exec of the Year, MVP, Most Improved, Defensive POY, Community Champion. Nothing for ROY. Check the WNBA official site and Twitter account. It’s a lot too much.
Replying to acknowledge the league posted at 2 pm today.
Soft.
