I understand this pov but what is the alternative?

Exactly. Really in sports as a whole.
I’m not with making this a disrespecting women thing even tho I understand cause of the current social climate.
So yes she does have a point but she is doing way too much.

I get the social content. Caruso comparison ain’t meant to encapsulate all that. It’s The same as my Kendrick Nunn comp. it’s just how basketball players refer to other basketball players with immediate positive recognition. There is no disrespect about it. She said Andre wasn’t respecting her. She knows that wasn’t the intent at all. She knows he was bigging her up, in a culture and way we all do.
Aerial Powers could’ve easily said...appreciate the shoutout, I’m Aeriel Powers if you ain’t know. But I’m not policing how people should react. She went about it her own way...and got the response she wanted. Which is open to criticism. And that should be fair. What she did...was do something to paint Iggy in a bad light, then take an out of context headline....pin a tweet and continue to paint the man in an unflattering character, to get her point across.
I gotta call that out. There are real valid criticisms to calling out coverage of women’s basketball etc.

Yeah I agree that I doubt it was meant to be malicious, he probably just tweeted it real quick.

The father of the guy in your AVI just died from it at age 57.
Would expect you to understand why people want the NBA to err on the side of caution.

damn wavy bro you brought up a great point that i might have missed earlier in regards to her reaction. this could have been a learning opportunity for Iggy done privately rather than be shamed publicly, especially since it was done without malice. it can easily be argued that it could have gotten the same results.

I get where she's coming from but she's seriously doing more harm than good. Andre CLEARLY was referring to her in hoops speak, and meant nothing more of it. She of all people should of got that.
The fact that IMO, she's purposely missing the point is lame.
They were doing it to Hasaan Whiteside when he broke out and no one knew who he was.

ANd the segment is intentionally mocking how many teams a certain individual played for, so many that now it's so hard to keep count. OR, the player is so unknown, that the question must be asked 'Who he play for?' and it's hilarious... in a playfully disrespectful way.
Same with Shaqtin A Fool; it's playfully disrespectful.
Using a playful mockery of players to justify that 'number 23 on the Mystics' is harmless, that's not the strongest argument.
And almost NEVER do people online refer to the numbers of male basketball players. I didn't say never, so there's no need to pull receipts, but it is EXTREMELY rare. C'mon, man, don't do that. "What? It happens all the time." No, it doesn't. We google the name and we speak on him. I've been talking sports a LOOOOONG time, and I know you have, too. And standing around in person talking sports, if someone says "#12... who was that? Boy had BOUNCE," immediately someone will bring his name up.
HIS name. But her name? Not necessary. '23 on the Mystics' is fine, along with 'She got a FATTY.' Who they are as an athlete isn't important; we don't need names to tell if we'd smash or not. The disrespect stems from them not being important enough to regard as athletes, because how cute they are is more important, and we don't need a name for that.
But #12 with bounce? Shannon Brown? We need to get that name in there, because who he is as an athlete is important to the conversation, and that IS the conversation. With women, their athleticism, and ultimately their person and their name, not important.

I guess you just have to ask yourself, "If this was my daughter/girl/wife/mother/aunt, how would I feel?"
And move from there.
I see her point.

The irony in the situation is that her role on that championship team was very similar to andres, she was super 6th/7th
but yeah she isn’t the face of the league of even the face of her team. But like dudes stay disrespectful towards the WNBA 24/7 and they be on edge. I get it. I think she’s reaching though. It’s a shame cause she’s about to put up career numbers but this is what she’s getting pub for. She needs to worry about alysha Clark tonight

Tipping point for me was the outbreak of pure racism and captured in HD in several instances Often times leading to death of innocent
That will be a historic time and we’re still in it even
only reason for the season to continue is so that the players can get their money, they deserve that opportunity
other than that the season having a second off season is trash and having to have the games take place like this is trash. Society doesn’t deserve entertainment at all right now especially at the risk of others

I agree she has a point but someone can have a point and still convey that point poorly imo
Just like when Skylar Diggins was making the point that WNBA players should be paid more (factual) but then proceeded to **** on Harrison Barnes unnecessarily

Next there's going to be a campaign for referees not to refer to players by number when speaking to the scorers table.
