jettio has never found an idiot/asshole/POS that he won't attempt to defend. |

He probably thinks that player will date him now after he defended my lady.

She wasn’t snubbed. Arike was, so you can throw this “12 best” out the window. They instead chose a 42 year old over her. It’s not about snubbing. It’s about the stupid stupid decision to not roster a PR dream for a sport that desperately needs it all for a roster spot that will never play meaningful minutes.
This isn’t about inexperience. It wasn’t an issue when Candace Parker, taurasi and Breanna Stewart made the Olympics as a rookie. And she had 10 points yesterday against the best team in the league where she only played 4 second half minutes due to blowout. Because the team as a whole is really really bad and clark isn’t good enough yet to carry a bad team against a great one. Yeah she’s a rookie playing a hard position with little help and defenses playing her like Jordan. Surprise, she is going to have her share of early struggles Everybody knows what the issue is. The only who don’t are the tens of fans in the old guard who want to gripe about nobody watching while insisting nothing should change. Last edited by chiefzilla1501; 06-11-2024 at 06:45 AM.. |

I think this is the right decision as the only argument to get her into the team is for monetary gain. You're using her stardom to justify the spot, yes she's good, but she's only been in the league for a month or so, everyone has to earn their way, and that's the way it should be. The only compelling argument is to use her star power to increase the sport, but everyone would know that her presence on the team was for that purpose, and not that she had earned her way. Good on her for showing one side to the media and keeping the monster comments for her coach. She's got a good head on her shoulders.

It’s win win. She’d play a lot of blowout minutes, every player on that roster would have their star power elevated, and she’d get a chance to practice with the best while playing less minutes to get her some needed rest. There is no downside other than snubbing someone else more deserving, even though that snubbed player would also benefit financially from clark growing the game. |

He knows that the bench probably didn't play a great game and so they needed greater bench contributions to win it. The question is designed to get one of the starters to discuss it. They're invitations for dialogue - they're not cross examinations. As far as the question goes - it's fine. It's a reasonable question designed to get a response from a 'star' player that could've offered some sort of dialogue on the subject. What it got was a pissy little shit fit. "The bench has been great for us this year; it's hard asking these players to come off the bench and be locked in every night. Some nights they just won't be and after playing a great game last time out, shots just weren't falling tonight. The energy was there and we need them to keep bringing that energy. The shots will fall..." Done. Supports her teammates, reporter has a quote, the world keeps spinning. Instead she threw a temper tantrum.
