Impressive response from ACFC Captain, Sarah Gorden. Trans people belong everywhere and it's great to see players use their power to say that and represent their team and their community
for those not on x, here is Sarah Gordon and Angelina Anderson’s statement, they do speak for the team, and the team says trans folks belong

But is it the fault of the refs that sHitler sucks? Being silly here … still smh at the pool noodles promo for your Caitlin Clark / WNBA story … gaslighting for clicks in my book
Not really. I merely tell you tell you to eff off when you say I defend Hitler, simply because I want my profession to stop quoting viral crap. But I'm still here engaging with you to see if you have a legit point.

So cool to see the local paper feature a column about the actual WNBA!

Great work from @joyceb10.bsky.social here!

There's a lot of bemoaning about the lack of real league-wide articles in trad media, so here's your chance to click in and show support for real coverage of the W!

This sounds very much not good:

Okay, #WNBA fans, there was a lot of talk about Brennan’s book of vitriol, but not much talk about Howard Megdal’s wonderful book Becoming Caitlin Clark. Megdal actually had real interviews with CC, Bluder, Jenson, Hull, Mitchell, Boston, White, Martin, etc.

I try not to post about Xitter--I'm not on there anymore, I hate even thinking about it--but the latest Grok debacle has me mad all over again at how poor a job sports media has done abandoning that cesspool. Teams, reporters, etc.; what are they even getting out of propping up a literal hate forum?

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark plans to return for Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Valkyries after being sidelined since late June with a left groin injury.

Clark has missed 10 games this season due to a left quad strain and the groin injury.
