at the VERY least, regardless of where you stand on Arenagate™️ … i think the focus should be on the first GAME 6 OF THE WNBA FINALS *EVER* !!! it feels like there’s been more talk (generally) about where the game is being played than the actual game. y’all can hash it out later

sometimes i just think, wow i have no hope in the american experiment. also, while we’re at it, should we invite kim jong un to get medical care at walter reed since he’s apparently in ill health (again)?

it’s always so sus to me when organizations wait for the talk to reach a fever pitch before “clarifying”
INBOX: Atlanta Dream ownership says in an open letter to fans that Thursday’s Game 6 WNBA FInals matinee is not what they would have chosen despite raising concerns 2 months ago and reiterating them. “Our concerns did not receive the attention, nor the urgency they deserved.”

Straight like that!!! All these terms don’t mean shit when folks can’t afford food or gas.
"Do you worry [Abdul El-Sayed] is a bit too left wing to win in Michigan?" Michigan voter "At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell so at this point socialist, socialise, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living"

so anyway, recently discovered @TheRestHistory and currently listening to the french revolution series… the virtue signaling that happened then feels way too familiar to present day US politics.

I’m sorry, the WNBA Finals scheduling fiasco is DEEPLY misogynistic? No, the Game 6 scheduling blame is fully on the WNBA & Atlanta Dream leadership. As ESPN reported over the weekend, the NBA said they could’ve been flexible with more notice, but they couldn’t blow up their schedule on just a few days’ notice. When the term “misogyny” gets stretched in situations like this, it undermines situations that are actually deeply misogynistic. I think the fair debate to have is whether or not the best outcome for the WNBA is to play midday at State Farm or play during primetime in a 3500 seat arena. Neither option is great.
the decision for the wnba finals to be moved to the middle of a work day for the sake of a regular season nba game is not only DEEPLY misogynistic but also a blatant cash grab by everyone involved because the fans ability to go to and watch the game was clearly not considered

why can’t we just agree that this situation was handled poorly and it’s no fault of the NBA teams/owners? like why are we being so malicious?? this whole thing irritates me but mainly bc it’s ppl like this giving bad actors a reason to instigate shit and talk down on the W
Nobody gives a single fuck about the @ATLHawks and their fucking random ass regular season game with Cleveland PLAY THE GAME IN CLEVELAND AND PLAY THE JANUARY AWAY GAME WITH CLEVELAND IN ATLANTA PROBLEM FUCKING SOLVED

it’s easy to understand why political engagement is so poor in this country when you realize that most of the props being voted on are like “should your child have to show adults their private parts to play sports” or “should drug dealers be designated terrorists”

Just saw someone talk about a voter who lived in "Bare County." Everybody help me crowdsource words for a Texas spelling & pronunciation guide, or else election night will be a bloodbath.

i’m struggling to understand how the wings are playing their 2027 season in the AAC since the mavs are moving out but i have mavs tickets this friday at the AAC????

Calling someone stupid because you don’t know what you’re talking about is crazy. If the Mavs wanted to share an arena with the Wings they would but they don’t & the commissioner of the NBA said he was waiting on LeBron to pick to team so they could finish the schedules lol

you are stupid and know nothing about dallas sports and arenas. stick to what you know please! the mavs aren’t going anywhere until 2031. that was literally JUST decided in court dummy.
If you think the owners don’t have control of the scheduling of the games then you’re trippin. Only reason the Wings are being allowed at AAC is because the Mavs are moving out

Can we please stop with this lazy narrative it’s the Hawks that should be playing at 12:30.. or even blame the Hawks for this Game 6 mess. Hawks play the night before & im guessing there is something in CBA about playing 2-games in 14 hr span. This is all on WNBA.. they’ve known since playoffs started this could/would be an issue & chose to play in front of 17K at 12:30 pm over 3.5K in primetime.

if this was always the plan, why is this whole thing even an issue?
Yes which is why the plan was always to play at State Farm for the playoffs. The season was pushed back by FIBA which made the two leagues bleed into each other. They were fine playing at Gateway but literally nobody wants that because there’s money to be made.

From @TheAthletic: The WNBA Finals starting at 12:30 p.m. Eastern is an embarrassment, our columnist writes. "Inexcusably obtuse planning, astoundingly bad optics, and most of all a wildly crappy thing to do to the people who consume your product." nyti.ms/4ssSHTm

No, an NBA team didn’t consider cutting their capacity from 17,000 to 3,500 for a game and screwing over thousands of season ticket holders. What are we doing here? Has everyone lost their minds?
Obviously this situation with Game 6 isn't really great for anyone involved. I wonder if they considered playing the Hawks game at Gateway Arena that night. Could have been a huge PR win for them, figure out a way to get some of the money from the Dream game back to them.
