I knew this thread would blow up on BP similar to how the Colorado Football thread blew up when they hired Coach Prime when I heard about the flying dildos!

Maybe she wanted to … Girl with the Dragon Tattoo style.Re: The Fever forward jumped back in surprise and then Kelsey Plum kicked it into the stands.
Sex toy tossed on Sparks' court, lands near Sophie Cunningham
A sex toy landed near Indiana's Sophie Cunningham after it was thrown from the stands in Los Angeles while the Fever played the Sparks on Tuesday night, the latest such incident to interrupt a WNBA game in the past seven days.www.espn.com
Just sayin': If it is so frickin dangerous why did Kelsey Plum kick it into the stands? She could have injured a fan....

Too soon old, too late smart
Not certain what's true anymore, as keep hearing conflicting stuff about WNBA. Watched some games, and it appears that the officiating has picked up, actually making correct calls, etc. Have never heard about 'Defensive 3 seconds'? What is this? CC quitting the league, and going to Europe, along with Sophie? PS, anyone want to give me $50 mil to put a sticker on my car and jersey?

They need to move their season up so their playoffs are in early to mid-August, before football starts.

Would guess that the TV moguls put WNBA in time slots that do not overlap with bigger paying sports. Do object that many of the season games are now 'pay' games, so has diminished our tv time. The refs are still missing easy calls, and still appears that teams have 'headhunters' that come in and clobber the opposing stars. Usually a coin toss whether flagrants get called.

This is a great basketball game actually. When teams are this connected to each other, the ladies can really play. When there's a bunch of individuals out there it looks awful.
Hope this goes 5 games

Heck, you'd be putting them up from outside if there's an 80% chance you'll get slammed into the stanchion. PS, most of these WNBA players were bigtime scorers in college. Forget the fact that some of them are now defensive specialists, and/or headhunters (with 6 fouls to give), cannot tell who's the good gals anymore, as all seems to blend together. The Finals was very telling, as the empty seats screamed out to the WNBA commissioner. Thought there was actually some good basketball being played amid the pathos that's the WNBA. With all the fake news out there, have no clue what's going on with the Fever, and CC. Are Lexie and Kelsey in or out? Sophie? CC going to Europe? Wifey gets a laughing fit when I throw all this stuff up to her......

WNBA's Connecticut Sun set to relocate to Houston following $300 million sale, per reports
The Fertitta family has agreed to a deal to purchase the Connecticut Sun for a record-breaking $300 million and move the WNBA franchise to Houston, according to reports from Paper City Magazine and ESPN. A sale would be subject to approval by the WNBA's Board of Governors, and it was not official as of Friday evening.If the deal is approved, the Sun would reportedly play the 2026 season in Connecticut before moving to Houston in 2027. The team is expected to play at the Toyota Center, home of the NBA's Houston Rockets, and be renamed the Houston Comets, taking on the name of the original WNBA franchise in the city, which existed from 1997 until 2008. The original Comets, led by Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson won the league's first four championships and were the first WNBA dynasty.

The last time a WNBA team was sold was in 2021, when Larry Gottesdiener led a group that bought the Atlanta Dream for under $10 million.

Just sayin': You're telling me that in just 5 years the value of an WNBA went from under $10M to $300M...
