When Quinn got in Sides' face for not benching her starters quite fast enough for her liking, while Skylar was bumping CC out of mental frustration, I lost all respect for the franchise, and I live in Washington. Quinn needs to be gone, sadly.
When that Coach got aggressive with Sides and she basically did nothing.. I lost all respect. She didn’t have to deck her, but say take the L and get the eff out of my face.
The Fever were blowing out Seattle and Sides left her starters in way too long. Sides did not know or forgot that with a couple minutes left and you are blowing a team you take out your starters. This is done at every level of most sports, especially basketball.
That was unprofessional and uncalled for. Sides didn’t do anything wrong on purpose. She seems to have anger management issues or maybe she just had a bad day. Ok she left her starters in a little too long. She also had problems all year knowing when to sub players in and out. It was an innocent mistake and didn’t impact that game at all. Storm lost that one, on to the next one.
Well, now it seems like a good organization. Our dark underbelly was fired. I do think Barber and Dunn had good intentions, hurt terribly by Dunn's very old ideas and Barber's lack of actual basketball acumen. But now we can be hopeful since we have people who know basketball, know how to build a team, and can actually express their vision well.
Yeah it could have gone SO much worse. Sure, the Fever wasn’t the best team but that’s why they got her. Now they have rebuilt their front office and with a few key changes they can potentially go from last to first in just a couple years. Pretty impressive if they can pull it off.
Christine Brennan simply asked legitimate questions about that eye gouge incident that 1000's of fans were asking online. And nobody who objectively analyzes that video thinks that was a "Carmelo 3pt celebration", first off nobody celebrates a made 3 pt shot ten minutes later and second its clear that Mabrey imitates the same downward thrust of the fingers into the eye, then they both laugh about it after cuz it's obviously an inside joke not a celebration.
If it really was "Carmelo 3pt celebration", Christine Brennan gave DiJonai Carrington golden opportunity to explain it away. She didn't take it. The way she answered makes pretty clear she didn't even think about it. I think we can be pretty sure DiJonai Carrington does not know what "Carmelo 3pt celebration" is.
Well hopefully 2024 was a wake up call because they won’t retain very many fans if they don’t start showing respect to players that are bringing in the majority of new fans. And by players I mean Caitlin Clark.
Mick, I have made this suggestion before. Please plan your videos a bit in advance. As it stands, some of them (like this one) are very hard to follow because you are just jumping around randomly from one thought to another, and, at the same time, you are scrolling back and forth through the source materials too fast for your listeners to follow along and read everything that you are pointing us to.
This is the worst bit of reporting I've ever tried to understand. Mick's mumbling speed reading to his half explained references, I can't make any sense of it.
Hey Mick, do you think you can SLOW DOWN while reading online posts that are TOO SMALL for us to read when they are the ESSENTIAL CONTENT of your video? PLEASE?????
WE all don't know why Noelle Quinn can't be fired. By "we" I'm talking about the new fans. The talking around whatever you were talking about was totally useless without knowing the background story
lol good question , it could be a multitude of actions or what one might interpret as harassment & bullying , it’s a mess & Noelle Quinn is going to be the first to go
This is an activist with a bunch of activists. Getting your feelings hurt is harassment. This is likely nothing unless it's racial or anti straight🤔 then they could have a problem. What's good for the goose as they say.
Harassment generally means, a behavior towards you, that you clearly request they stop, and they continue. As I understand, for something to be harassment, it needs to first be communicated that you want the behavior to stop. It could be as simple as taking someone’s parking spot. If you say, please don’t take my designated spot, and they continue to, that’s a type of harassment. Blah blah blah. None of what I say actually matters. I’m just typing out words over here. 😊
Well, nothing has happened to my knowledge with the Hamby situation and there were specific quotations and multiple actions described in that lawsuit, particularly regarding Hammon. I thought for sure she was done as a coach… I must be way too idealistic.😊
Caitlin Clark has exposed so much toxicity in this league by just her presence alone. I think at first, many CC fans and new fans were thinking that it was all because of jealousy towards her, but it's become apparent that they have been spiteful and unprofessional towards each other for years, and it had just become part of the culture.
Could u maybe minimize your face so the tweets can be readable cause I have a hard time getting it with my slight hearing loss from a surgery. I’d appreciate if your could make the party with articles/tweets full screen so I can read them then switch back later to how u have it like some content creator do.
The other day Giannas got fouled hard and guess what the reporter asked the player that fouled him!?!?!? Bait my ass these girls ain't little kids treat them like ADULTS that was a legit question
I read a blurb on social media that some members wnbapa and the wnba were upset when the rookies of this class wouldn’t sign their contracts until their lawyers looked at them. I blew it off as fake but as more comes to light I am not as sure.
It’s amazing that a toxic league becomes more toxic and the teams haven’t played in a month. Maybe CC needs to call Kelsey and see if she needs some help in China. I have to seriously wonder how long this league can last without some major changes in what’s supposed to be leadership. Maybe Unrivaled might not be such a bad idea after all. It’s really sad that the attention is now on the league with some really good players coming up from college and the league just seems to get worse and worse.
This is not surprising for those that remember the episode of Quinn riding up on Sides for not pulling her starters soon enough in a win over seattle. Officials had to separate plus you noticed skylar diggins and another player backing her in that episode. So yes all the turmoil is not surprising with the self admitted Gangsta Coach Attitude. Also in this same game Diggins intentionally walking into Clark who was headed back to her own team huddle. All the trash talk that goes on is getting excessive the officials should put a stop to it.
Sadly we are coming to find out the W isn't a sports league its a social movement. In real sports this type of thing happens every day. Tensions between players on the same team. Tensions with coaches. And they are adults and figure it out. This league is unprofessional and thin skinned with High School cliques B.S.....
Does ne1 else get the feeling there is a pile of "complaints" filed during the season and now some intern is going through them. Engelbert in her own words: "Too busy shopping".
he's unbelievable, criticising her for asking questions about her book, when he spends his time making caitlin clark clickbait videos everyday. imean "BREAKING NEWS, Journalist does job."
This is bad for the owners to allow this work environment. Some owners should lose team ownership. The league office needs to clean house (the commissioner is the first to go). Overall, the league may have broken federal laws. This may significantly affect a larger media deal.
At worst, She's involved, at best, she doesn't have the trust of her team and shouldn't lead the players association if her team can't even trust her...regardless, the end result isn't good for nneka. I think she should step aside from the head for the sake of cba because if she stays on the wnba will take advantage of the situation for sure

It did seem like we were witnessing some bullying there.
@@cathygregory3443it was definitely bullying , just imagine if the situation was reversed and sides got into the face of Quinn, imagine the outrage
I thought she got in Sides face for CC celebrating in the Storm’s bench area…
@@anncarlson254 CC was on the floor and was bumped into their bench area by Skylar. She was on their end of the floor, for sure.
@@anncarlson254 The report was that Quinn got on Sides for not pulling her starters in the final minutes once it was clear that the Fever had won.
Another one bites the dust. This league needs a whole overhaul.
Pull the subsidies and let natural forces go to work.
Could it be? The WNBA doing awful things that ruin it's reputation.

@ nah. Everyone knows that rule. She took her starters out seconds after the Storm did. Cry me a river. No need to publicly approach her.
That was unprofessional and uncalled for. Sides didn’t do anything wrong on purpose. She seems to have anger management issues or maybe she just had a bad day.
Ok she left her starters in a little too long. She also had problems all year knowing when to sub players in and out. It was an innocent mistake and didn’t impact that game at all. Storm lost that one, on to the next one.
Did Sheryl Swoopes speak about it yet ?
And she said was Caitlin Clark fault yet ?
If it's not caitlins fault... it never happened
Let's not downplay the culpabilaty of the nasty Fever fans....
Thank god CC went to a good organisation in the Fever 🙏
Well, now it seems like a good organization. Our dark underbelly was fired. I do think Barber and Dunn had good intentions, hurt terribly by Dunn's very old ideas and Barber's lack of actual basketball acumen. But now we can be hopeful since we have people who know basketball, know how to build a team, and can actually express their vision well.

Noelle Quinn probably be fired. Swoopes abused her payers when she was coach. What is it with women coaches abusing women players. It is weird.
That would be 8/12 coaches that were fired or “parted ways” after the 2024 season. That’s wild.

Thanks for saying this, Pal. I'm beginning to dislike Mick each day that passby. He's clearly become a bloody griftter.

you cant criticise someone for writing a book about caitlin clark, when your whole channel is caitlin clark clickbait.
This league is a JOKE!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
A league of their own...🙄
Yea same as NFL , NBA 😂😂 stuff goes on in every league 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jexcel07 not at all lol these types of issues specifically don’t happen in the nfl & nba but every league has its problems tho
I know this is said a lot…. But geeze the WNBA is so messy…. What the heck lol.
The W is not a serious league and wasn’t ready for primetime
Well hopefully 2024 was a wake up call because they won’t retain very many fans if they don’t start showing respect to players that are bringing in the majority of new fans. And by players I mean Caitlin Clark.
Why Quinn can't be fired? I do not know, and I don't get it. You need to call a spade a spade! Otherwise some of us can't get the encoded message! 👊

What kinds of actions qualify as harassment and bullying legally? Genuine question.

Jealousy, egotism and sexual abuse aren't really great ingredients for a successful league
True, but no need to bring up Sheryl Swoopes right now.

Anyone with a brain knows not to sign a contract without a lawyer!
@ that’s why I was like why would the wnbpa and wnba be upset it is just good legal practice.
Sue Bird where were you at. You are part owner of this franchise. Hope this treatment did not include Nika Muhl. As a CC fan. Nika is family.
It seems the WNBA shot their own FEET and cut off an arm this season, and all they had to do was let the players play basketball.

This is bad for the owners to allow this work environment. Some owners should lose team ownership. The league office needs to clean house (the commissioner is the first to go). Overall, the league may have broken federal laws. This may significantly affect a larger media deal.
Hello NBA do us a favor and pull the funding this dumpster fire known as the WNBA
Quinn fashion off putting is all I know
At worst, She's involved, at best, she doesn't have the trust of her team and shouldn't lead the players association if her team can't even trust her...regardless, the end result isn't good for nneka. I think she should step aside from the head for the sake of cba because if she stays on the wnba will take advantage of the situation for sure
The leaders of the PA = birds of a feather...
Must be Clark’s fault.
WNBA clean their shit
I highly doubt this is anything that’s a legal thing likely hurt feelings which means jack squat.
I don't know that Skylar Diggs is a spoiled brat.
I don't believe that untouchable bullsh!t
In todays world raising your voice is considered abuse.
Where's the players union?
Abusing? What did they tell them no?
