Empty gyms suck, but being able to hear professional athletes moan and complain about every call has been a sweet consolation. Phoenix Mercury’s Diani Taurasi was the latest caught on camera, and was frankly…awkward…
“I’ll see you in the lobby later”

Diana Taurasi to a ref 🤣💀 pic.twitter.com/D0dEP9VYV6
Reminiscent of Suns star Devin Booker and Wolves Gorgui Dieng rushing the tunnel to fight. Taurasi won’t do jack $hit to the official, but it’s still funny.
Makes me think we should allow fans to pay extra for all-access to our athletes. Baseball started Youtube channels to follow Mets first baseman Pete Alonso…No reason the NBA can’t do the same.
For those calling for action from the league: We invaded Taurasi’s work space and that SHOULD already disqualify her from any punishment.
The only difference between Diana Taurasi and all the fat white chicks pumping their fists in Portland when night falls is that Taurasi’s not fat.
Busy Saturday for you Sheff, a couple of nice pieces. Thanks for working so hard to keep us informed and to get a reasonable perspective out there. Keep it up!
I would pay extra (about $1.99) to see Diana have a tickle fight with the ref, scantily clad of course.
And by lobby, she must mean the lobby of the community center they play WNBA games in. At least with COVID they have an excuse for not having anyone watch their games.
This toxic masculinity must be eradicated in today’s Progressive society.
I know some chicks would be happy to meet her in the lobby and she would not like the outcome!
I can’t tell if this is a replay or a current game. Same number of fans.
Was it a bad call or not? I think that matters..
Gary is puttin in the work.
I think the WNBA should allow players to fight the refs. Maybe like hockey fights with a Set up, some unkind words exchanged and then the light drop down low and you hear …. Lllllllllleetsssss get Ready to Rumble!!!!
Tremendous idea.
Lol, and she has Breonna Taylor’s name on her jersey. Calling for “social justice” while abusing her power as a large athlete. Give these SJWs a gun and a badge and see what happens. Athletes have the least amount of self control among any group in society. And they are screaming for the people with the most difficult jobs to not match deadly force with deadly force. This is the perfect microcosm of the reason modern day athletes as SJWs is such a joke.
Least amount of self control and by far the least amount of self awareness. The Women want to get paid like the men, yet their leagues produce a fraction of the revenue.
Reminds me of a conversation I had early in my career with a well meaning but slightly delusional friend. I was in the process of negotiating for an entry level job with a good sales firm, in an industry that can be lucrative but is mostly commission driven. My friend said “I would only take the job if they guarantee me $50,000 in annual salary! And another guy standing nearby who was much wiser and 10x more business savvy said “Rob I will guarantee you $50,000, and as soon as you sell that much product I will gladly pay you $50,000.”
Only Academics, welfare recipients, female athletes and other assorted Liberals expect to be paid for other people’s labor.
Nobody cares about the WNBA except their closest friends and their families. The league survives only because of (1) subsidies and (2) fear of the damage they can do if you say anything negative about them.
I agree. There would be massive social media, SJW, and woke Democrat backlash if the NBA ever decided to pull the plug on their financial support of the WNBA. That is why the NBA will never do that. It’s not that they have a large audience, or there is a groundswell in their cities of fans of basketball to go watch them in person or tv, but public relations-wise, it would be a bad look for the league.
At least there are no men in the bubble to distract her. 🙄
Would they, though?
