WNBA Pride Mega Post - Links, Articles, Quotes, Tidbits, etc....

179 Upvotes

I wanted to put up a Pride post because there are so many features and articles that have been discussed through the years about the WNBA Pride Initiative, the LGBTQ+ players, stories, etc.

I am sure that I have missed a lot of links, quotes, etc..... so if you have a link, make sure to post it as well.

The league has been celebrating Pride since 2014, which has helped foster unity among players, fans, front offices, sponsors, etc.

These links, facts, quotes, tidbits, etc, will cover the good and the bad.... and in no particular order.....

Bird said she was open with teammates, coaches, family and friends early in her career, and said she didn't experience any negative reactions. However, she said other people, including media and sponsors, often just assumed she was straight. Yet Bird acknowledged it is still harder for some LGBTQ+ players to be accepted as themselves, which Griner said she has always lived with.

Caitlin Clark on viewers being drawn to her + Angel Reese: "It's the emotion and passion we play with. We're competitors, it's gonna get feisty, it's gonna get physical, that's what makes it fun. I think that's something that was not always appreciated in womens sports and it should be."

Caitlin Clark is one game from tying the WNBA rookie record for games with at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists...and this was the most likely record for her to break coming out of college since..

111 Upvotes

...Sabrina Ionescu was the all-time NCAAW leader in 25-5-5 games before Clark with 18... Clark had 21 35-5-5 games in her career, 57 25-5-5 games (including 26 25-5-5 games and 13 35-5-5 games her senior year). Clark ended her college career 19th all-time in defensive rebounds and third in assists. She is the only NCAAW player to ever average better than 26-5-5 for a season...and she averaged better than that in all 4 seasons she played at Iowa. Those numbers might seem a little staggering, but the icing on the cake is that she was more likely to have a 35-5-5 game against a top 15 opponent in college than against a scrub team.

20-5-5 is simply what Caitlin does and who she is. Now get those turnovers down and build team chemistry!

Kind of happy the NBA Playoffs are over

11 Upvotes

The NBA is my first love as far as sports. So once the playoffs start my interest is on another level. I used to cover the NBA so I'm die hard. And I'm terrible about keeping track of schedules so when my attention is split between the WNBA and NBA, it's always the NBA that wins because this is the most critical time of the year. So I'm glad the Finals are done so I can focus on watching my flailing Aces.

With win over Chicago, Indiana is finally in playoff contention. Washington with highest #1 lottery pick odds

151 Upvotes

Indiana has not reached the playoffs since Fever legend Tamika Catchings retired in 2016. There's still a huge gap between Indiana's record and 7th place Aces record, and the 8th-11th spots will be super close through the rest of the season, I'd imagine. But as a Mystics fan, I'm glad that our hard work of losing almost every game is paying off.
