“Tash didn’t want to feel like she was a distraction; I told her she wasn’t,” Marsh said. “I told her that we all embrace her as someone that protects our team and protects the people that need to be protected. And so Tash is always going to stand on that, and then we stand for Tash.”

Asked after the game if he had any message for the groups rallying against transgender athletes in women’s sports, Marsh referred to statements he made in past weeks. Marsh then alluded to Kanter’s intentions in attending the game without naming him.

“There’s so much good things about this league and so many good things about the play of these players. And if you come to a game, you should probably come to enjoy the basketball, and that seems pretty simple to me,”
Weird, I thought it was all about the right to peacefully protest....but now this side doesn't like what's being protested so everyone should just go and watch basketball and leave the protesting out of it. This is what is wrong with America. Neither side gives a shit what the other is saying, and they end up bitching about the exact same things, only revolving around different topics.

When that ex Army Ranger that played in Pittsburgh didn't stay in the Locker Room and protest the Anthem? Tomlin called him a distraction. But when this gall goes after a fan in the stands? She's not.
Tricia Smith, a fan who said she sat next to Freedom, said Cloud instigated the confrontation on Sunday night.

“Natasha Cloud scored. She came over and threw her hands up and was talking s— to his face,” said Smith, a Boise, Idaho, native, who said she didn’t know Freedom before the game. “So he stood up and said, like, ‘What? What do you want?’ He didn’t do a thing. I’ve sat next to him the whole game. He’s a great guy. He’s taken probably 50 pictures tonight.”

I was thinking terms of the Calkins deal. How the media had changed. Like back when the PI and Times were only printed. The PI was maybe more liberal, it was more sensational, it was the under dog. But i think you had an array of positions on both their editorial pages. Papers needed to cover all the bases back then. You werent trying to appeal to a certain segment of the population like its done today. Readers were subjected to a wider range of opinions.

Today of course all of that has changed. People pick and choose media outlets more to reinforce beliefs than looking for differing opinions. How much has the internets ability to feed into belief systems created this climate of intolerence to other belief systems?

The entire leftist ideology is rooted in hypocrisy - and if you DARE disagree with them, they cannot, ever, defend thier positions (because they make no sense when you play them out), so they must resort to calling you a racist so you'll stop winning. Remember, Cambridge Grifter Jason ARday is a VICTIM - a career grifter who lied and cheated for a career - is a victim in thier eyes and if you call him out you are 'racist'. :lol:

Is there a single person on this board that is NOT 1000% aware of this by now? C'mon, we all know the playbook.

I am not a church goer, but I am gonna start praying that Enes etal get into the WNBA - it'll be the greatest thing ever - it'll expose alllllllllllll the nonsense about tranny's in sports. I heard Enes has already been denied - and now it's going to court - the worst case scenario for trans sports and the WNBA - because now they are gonna have to put their money where their mouth is, which is ironic since they don't have any money, they are the NBA's welfare league. The best part is the WNBA commissioner, apparently, cannot define 'what a woman is' despite it being the first letter in the 'league' she manages. You cannot make this lunacy up.

If Enes gets in the league, I swear I will buy his jersey. I 100% beleive he is doing this as a joke - to make a point. And if he makes a roster - he will be taking a job away from a woman - which has been the battle cry for women this entire time - men taking their spots and pushingn them out. It's unfair and that's not debatable.

Stupid is about to get it's day in court.

I should have saved the video, but I saw something the other day. Not sure if it was a congressional hearing or what, the caption was very vague....but the woman being questioned refused to answer what defines a woman. Finally the guy says "why do we have woman's sports if we can't define what is actually a woman". Watching that took me down a rabbit hole where Brian Urlacher questioned the claim that the WNBA doesn't currently have any transgenders. Then pulled up a few photos of Brittney Griner. I've seen one that is supposedly of her with her shirt off at a pool. Not a woman.

AI Overview
Brittney Griner | Biography, Basketball, Russia, Trial ...Brittney Griner is a cisgender woman who identifies as a lesbian. She has a tall, androgynous physical build and a masculine-of-center or "butch" personal style, which has frequently led to public scrutiny and false online rumors regarding her gender.

Gender and Sexuality
Cisgender woman: Griner is a biological woman, though her 6-foot-9 height, deep voice, and rejection of traditional feminine norms have routinely subjected her to public misunderstandings and social media rumors.

Lesbian: She publicly came out early in her career and embraces her identity as a gay woman, becoming one of the first openly gay athletes endorsed by Nike.

Personal expression: She has spoken openly about rejecting strict gender labels and conventional expectations of how women in the public eye should look or dress
