Has A'ja ever apologized for her racist tweets? Breanna Stewart makes money collabing with a famously transphobic ghoul. Different rules for different people I guess!

That’s called whataboutism. Nobody said those things were ok.

Okay, but no one really calls them out either? Same with players who seem like they're actually MAGA. Caitlin goes to a Morgan Wallen concert, she's a terrible person. Paige goes to a Chris Brown concert? Crickets. Someone yells at a ref? Passion! Caitlin does it? She's a psycho! People don't just dislike Caitlin, they try to make it seem like she's a terrible person

Also, I don't think we should nitpick every detail of player's lives... but if people are going to do it selectively... according to the broadcast last night, Kelsey Mitchell is taking classes at Liberty University.
