The WNBA Players Association is trying to protect its players. But in this case, they chose the wrong target and the wrong message.

    Well, humans mess up sometimes. I’ll say this: it’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see how it plays out.

    That’s such a psychotic response from the players union. It was over there was no reason to bring it back. It was a question people had the player answered it. It was over. What on Earth is the incentive from The Players Association to dredge it back up? I really don’t understand how many of the WNBA players have made this entire, I don’t even want to call the situation cuz it isn’t one, issue so much larger than it needs to be.

    There’s no advantage to letting race baiters draw you into something. This is the perfect opportunity to be able to say I just play basketball and ignore things. That’s not always possible but in this case it’s not only possible it’s preferable for everyone. Shut up and dribble is finally the correct answer. Because no other answer is good when it comes to race baiters they want you to respond.
