Mya Moore. Trppin?

[kingkoopa]

For the uninitiated, Mya Moore was a super star WNBA player who quit in her prime to pursue her social justice calling.

She was fighting to release a wrongfully imprisoned inmate, which was a family friend Johnathan Irons.

Irons was released this summer after 20 years, and is now married to Mya Moore.



Am I trippin or does something seem off here?

I was gonna make a thread yesterday then decided not too, guess it was still in there good lookin lol.

Came here for UFO's, congrats to Mya marrying dude. She put her career on the backburner to get him out of prison. If someone did that for me I'd probably marry them too

Cottdamnit, I love Black women. They never give up.

Our justice system is the thing that seems off. The problem is that it is functioning just how the people in power want it to be...

Maya Moore is an American Hero. If she was a male athlete with her accomplishments and put her career on hold to right this wrong, it would be a much bigger story.

You see this as pure?

I do too but I can see the side eye being givin all the details.

 

[elpablo21]

I was like damn why you call Maya a blimp fam.

This story makes even more sense that she paused her career to help free someone she loved. Good for them

 

[Fozz]

Whoa, had no idea that she married him.

The big picture is what this is all about for me. Unity, and the need for it. The women of the WNBA have always been far more progressive than all other sports, they simply do not have the money. If they did? We would not be talking about what we SHOULD be doing.

 

[Nouss]

So OP, what's the problem?

 

[datznasty]

Quite similar to the plot of Daddy's Little Girls with Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union

I don't see what's off. I mean, perhaps she found herself around him more and more and they took a chemistry to each other. She's 31, he has been in jail 20 yrs, are you thinking they had a previous relationship?

Wikipedia says her salary was $45,000 in 2012. I know, "nobody watches women sports, they should lower the rims, wear something tight," blah blah mysogynistic nonsense but most WNBA players would make more money doing whatever they went to college for if that's the case. In fact, I'll just say all.

The power of the D...

 

[s-blaze]

The power of the D...

And it set him free

 

[Master Zik]

You ain't tripping. She probably had a crush on him before he got screwed over by the system.

And you know man's is grateful.

 

[thapointguy]

She got him off and married him too that's a victory x2

Is she continuing her career? Thought she retired already (I don't pay attention to the WNBA too closely)

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Good for her..

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I understand the optics, I do. It is wild.

But glad two black people married each other.

 

[deleted]

I personally see zero issue with it, but I understand the skepticism

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

Helped free a falsely imprisoned man, fighting for social justice, and found love. Sounds like she won.

 

[kingkoopa]

So OP, what's the problem?

Just the optics of it.

He's been in jail for 23 years and he was a family friend.

I dont think anything crazy happened it just has some in it.

I think she just fell in love with a ***** in jail.

Was that her motivation to get him out?

Doesn't matter in the long run because he was wrongfully convicted.

Just a weird story to me.

Really all I'm sayin.

 

[blakep267]

I would feel that 20+ years in jail would change a person mentally but good for them

I don't think she retired, she's still in her prime? she took the season off due to injustice and what not going on? im pretty sure, never heard retirement

but did she know him prior? I find it odd but good for them
