Can't believe the patience of the teams who put up with her egostical toxicity so far, and the Sparks giving her a contract after that heinously bigoted violent behaviour vs Nigeria in the run up to the Olympics.

You're wayy to sensitive. Admittedly I don't know much about Liz and Nigeria/Australia, but this isn't even that bad, (aside from racial slur) especially when we hear far worse in the NBA.

But TBH I don't care about Liz, I just think it's not that deep.


How can you make judgement when you admittedly say that you don’t know about the situation.

Liz has a long list of terrible things she’s done. She is by far the worst sports person around and I know all Australians are absolutely ashamed she represents us.


*Used to represent us. Really a despicable person. Some of the Twitter wars between her and Andrew Bogut have been pretty funny. He's been calling out her shitness for years :lol:

Remember that time she threatened to boycott the Olympics because the uniform promo photos didn't have any people of colour. This is despite it having Maurice Longbottom in it, an indigenous Australian, whose skin she called "fake tan".
She consistently shoots off her mouth before engaging her brain.

Her racist tirades against Nigerian players are very confusing.. She's half Nigerian.. Seems like some sort of inner self hatred.

She said go back to your third world country you monkeys, slapped opponent and elbowed another player so hard she was cut and bleeding from her neck? And this is all in a practice scrimmage the Nigerians did as a favour to Australia.


And this is just a blip in her crazy and **** personality she shows so often.


There's not a single NBA player who gets closed to this. Playing it down is pretty weird. If anything her teams been way too patient with her cuz she is really tall and talented. Anyone else would been thrown out long time ago.

Some pieces of this article/post that I have some questions about:

According to sources, Fisher approached Zahui B. about giving the number to Cambage and she politely declined, explaining the number meant a lot to her. Cambage still wanted the number. Time went by, and sources say management eventually made the call to give the number to the new starting center.

Zahui B. learned her number was given away via social media, sources say.

This approach ruffled feathers within the locker room, sources say.

In an unrelated move, the Sparks would suspend Zahui B. for the 2022 season. According to a team source, Fisher was of the understanding that her overseas commitment would have forced her to miss up to the first 13 games and the team needed to finalize its roster in advance of the regular season. A suspended player does not receive a salary that season and the team retains the player’s rights.


who are actively appealing FIBA’s denial of their application to play for the Nigerian national team.


PS: lol @ systemically naming it a divorce contract in the WNBA but a buyout in the NBA, regardless of the payout sum (ie none).

lmao it doesn't make it any less racist if you type in (stereotype).

Anyway, by all accounts she's a piece of ****. Doesn't have anything to do with her skin color though.

Derek Fisher did a mutual contract termination in Utah, if I recall correctly, so he could go back to LA for his daughters cancer care.

Divorce contract*

Looooool. Sheesh.

Thank you for sharing: Id forgotten a recent example of a mutual contract termination in the NBA.

I wonder if there are other examples, and how they were termed by organizations & the media industry.

Lol hope she goes there. Will be sweet karma, a bigot like her who dared to cry wolf about racism for attention, going to a fairly racist and bit chauvinistic totalitarian China. Sparks will fly.

You are right but think about it - calling a human (which is a primate) a monkey is weird on a few different levels. The fact that it’s even considered racist is weird - it’s just stupid...

Avg Human: “you are a primate”
Educated human: “yeah - so yes I am...uh so are you?”

Liz seems to be a person that needs mental health care. Interesting - not giving her a pass...but she is openly asking for mental health care in her tweets. I would take her at her word that she needs help and if she chooses to not seek verifiable by the team- medical professional help- I would not sign her wild ass....

Sounds like she could be best friends with Amber Heard.

Seems like she got some kind of emotional issues (who knows what) but if people haven't seen her play before it's pretty cool. Haven't watched a million games but remember that she was kinda the WNBA version of prime Shaq at her peak.
