I didn't see anything wrong with what Engelbert said.

I do have a problem with the impact the media/analysts have, though.........pundits like Swoopes and Smith taking sides and potshots and trying to push more of a divide amongst the fanbases when this whole time Clark and Reese have been nothing short of professional with eachother, for the most part anyway.

Part of it is residual frustration over Englebert doing nothing for years to grow the game and now they finally are, they feel she's not using it for social justice... I guess?

The WNBA is far more progressive a sports platform than other leagues but unfortunately it also has to contend with advertising which is often beholden to trends outside of the WNBA. And while pundits would love to see their agendas (both progressive and reactionary) pushed, when Englebert was hired, they had her hired for a reason.

And I can't believe I just defended her.
