Pretend I don't, explain. Both have probably the amount of lesbians and black players so why would they prefer Atlanta over Golden State, because it's not a better story.
To them it is.........and you're getting close to answering your own question. 🙂

And actually maybe come out and say what you really mean for once in your life.

So no answer as usual.
No, I just want you to say it for a change...........😉

I don't care if you don't agree with me either, because it's the truth.

I just like walking people into conclusions instead of always answering things for them. That's how we learn after all! 😃

But I'm gonna go and make sure I at least make a profit from the Dream being gifted this championship, so I'll be back in a bit.

Explain how they are being gifted the championship? I’m sure it’s a very sane explanation.

It’s been hilarious reading Threads. People just expect State Farm Arena to change their existing schedule to accommodate the Dream. There is a concert the night of Game 3 and the Hawks have a home game the night of Game 4. And people have the nerve to be pissed that the Hawks haven’t volunteered to change their game that has been scheduled and sold out for months. The sense of entitlement is off the charts with these idiots.

I read that the Valkeries owner helped make a case to the WNBA and NBA commissioners to move the games to State Farm. Originally the games were going to played in their 3,500 seat Gateway because of scheduling conflicts at State Farm. Valkeries owner lobbied to the WNBA/NBA to have them move the dates because he didn't want to send a bad image to fans that 1 team had 17,000 fans and the other had 3,500.

They negotiated a compromise, which is exactly how it should work. The chuckleheads on Threads were loudly demanding that the concert and the Hawks’ home opener should be rescheduled to give priority to the Dream. That was total nonsense.

The WNBA moved Game 3 up one day to work around the concert. And Game 4 was moved up 2 hours to give State Farm Arena time to clear the venue and change the court logos in time for the Hawks game that night.

And of course now Dream fans are complaining that they only have one day off between Game 2 and Game 3 (they don’t seem to realize the Valkyries have the exact same amount of time off) and Valkyries fans are complaining that Game 4 is going to start at 10am Pacific time. Because WNBA fans apparently are incapable of being happy about anything.

I feel like that last sentence is just any social media users in general.

Some people are only happy when they're unhappy.

The Valkyries have shrunk in the moment. You saw it in Game 2 and now they're cooked in Game 3. They're mentally rattled and just want to be done with the series.

That's too bad, because other teams would've given Atlanta a better series.

I haven’t been watching the game but I just checked the box score and noticed something highly unusual. GS has 21 points midway through the second quarter and their five starters have a combined total of 3 points. Gabby Williams hit a 3-pointer and none of the other four starters have scored. The bench has contributed the other 18 points.

Ya it’s pretty much Saluan for GS. They’re a great defensive team but so is Atlanta. Atlanta has better scorers for sure.

Before the free throw discourse begins, Atlanta is driving the paint more and GSV is fouling them a lot.

Looks like Atlanta won again and everyone on social media is gushing about Angel. Seems like the Valkyries are toast. Angel already won the DPOY, it'll be a dream for the league to give her a ring, Finals MVP and possibly even regular season MVP.

Maybe this is me being overly negative, but I don't think CC will ever get that far the way things are now, just way too many things working against her.

Regular season mvp has already been named.

What exactly is working against CC?

Go Hawks!

Yuge. What a disappointment she was. Hopefully this means the rest of the clownshow isn't far behind
Tough day for Legend and the crew that is hoping CC doesn't win a title so they can celebrate telling us that she's just another player and isn't as special as "we think she is".

This just stinks for CC. Real or imagined, and I do believe there is a ton of racist BS tossed out to these players on social media, it makes it so hard for her to attract women of color to come play with her. I actually believe most of the online stuff is from bots, but not all. We'll see what happens in the offseason if they can attract anyone else to come play with them.
