Quote

Much of that work has been supported through the league's longstanding history of racial and gender hiring practices. According to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES), the WNBA has held the top position in the racial and gender report cards since its inaugural season. This year, the WNBA received a combined grade of an A with an A+ for race and an A for gender, according to the 2022 WNBA racial and gender report card released Wednesday by TIDES at the University of Central Florida.

 

That explains a lot

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Might be interesting when a WNBA team picks up a couple of trans players.  

 

I'd like to see how that goes down.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

You say when, so obviously you don't know that "Britney Grinder" is a homosexual man, playing in the league, who was imprisoned in Russia for a while before being traded for a terrorist arms dealer?

Russian prison guards are not held to the same journalistic standards as Americans are, FWIW.

Wanna bet some money on that?  I got $500 that says your belief in #fakenews, which has gotten worse over the past three years, is DEAD WRONG.  The Russian guards in her prison released some incriminating evidence while he was there.

And then there's this:

 

Quote

Brittany Griner is not a transgender person, and neither is she a man. Instead, he is a homosexual. In an interview on February 11, 2013, he publicly discussed his sexuality for the first time. Griner has been bullied because of her sexual orientation. Brittany’s father did not embrace her graciously for coming out as a lesbian. Just because his personality is different and different from other women, doesn’t mean he is transsexual.

 

But you believe what you will.  And call me whatever names you feel are appropriate for proving you wrong (again).

Well since you left no links. I will do you the honor. It appears you got sucked in by some fake MEME. Of course I remember when you

very vigorously insisted Michelle Obama was a man. So I don't fund your gulbuility for  Rouge website garbage surprising..

That's news to me.  I will say I had not been following her very closely.  She does seem rather manly.

 

As far as I'm concerned, they could have kept her in prison for the nine years.
