Bro what is this…

First if your wig falls off, you play on…… you dont go running to the back.. thats not an injury, thats a hairclip that flew off…

Imagine if lebron ran to the back because his double headband hiding his hairline back then fell off..

And second, a fan really gets ejected for laughing that he saw someones wig fall to the ground.. come the **** on



"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!... Oh, no!"

Over the hair piece falling down, lol.
And they can't show the replay cuz it might hurt their feelings. Ik it's kinda a touchy subject, black women and the hair, but these are the professional basketball players.

Either don't wear a huge hair piece like you are shooting a magazine cover while playing or just keep on playing n fix it during the time out. It's not a beauty pageant, lol

I dunno bro. Sounds like to me some clever marketing from the WNBA. Show the league as crazy and people will tune in to see the next wild thing.

bizarre since everyone is inspected before going in. i was inspected before going to a marlins game way back in the 90's and the sign read no sign allowed then i asked myself then where are the signs of the ppl that you see on tv saying like D-fense and the like?

That is true… they play in a small 5000 seat arena mostly used for atlanta dream and the atlanta hawks g league team… and they dont even sellout, if 1000 people sat down yesterday id be shocked… so how did they not do a thorough check..

Shannon Sharpe just had the most embarrassing fumble in TV history..

About to get a 9 digit contract from espn.

Got sued for sexual assault/abuse by an OF girl.

Telephone recordings of him literally threatening to choke her were made public.

His lawyers denied the sexual assault, and yet, he settled for 23 million with his accuser to prevent anything else getting leaked to the media. He thought this could salvage his ESPN relationship.

God knows what else was he afraid of getting leaked that he decided to settle for 23 million.

ESPN had enough of this, first the instagram story where he is having live sex audio out. And then this nonsense.

He let his bedroom behavior get the better of his career.

And there may be more accusers coming out and maybe that is why ESPN made this decision.

Still has a monster youtube channel, but not something that would have paid him like ESPN.

Im sure he regrets that settlement, he did it thinking he still has ESPN on his backpocket.

Will he return to Skip Bayless.. or will Skip return to ESPN.. we shall see..

No sympathy for Sharpe from me. Not that there's anything redeemable about the OF girl, but Sharpe knew what she was & only thought with his southern head. Man his age w/ his resources should know better.

Play stupid games...win stupid prizes.

There are two slight pivots that need to be answered .

1. Why did the DOJ release an edited video to the public of Epsteins cell and why was there minutes erased
2. Epstein was on suicide watch and yet, youre telling me he went 11 hours unsupervised, this man was the worlds most notorious pedophile, he had information about the biggest elites in the world. How is there not constant non stop monitoring and how did they allow him to be in a cell with items to off himself?

Did he even kill himself because his brother says otherwise…

3. Virginia Giuffre, former spa worker in Mar A Lago, an investigation on her death matters. Why was Ghislaine able to go to Mar A Lago and just recruit these employees to the island? Virginia says Ghislaine was giving classes on how to give oral sex and other sexual acts, she was just a teenager.

There is too much dots connecting with Epstein and Trump which is why this wont die.

Sometimes ignorant things get said on here, but I don’t think it’s hateful ignorance. Especially among Gen Z what I notice is people not adhering to previously held ideas such as the idea of “we’re all American”. There’s a lot of othering people, even demonizing them. One philosophy that guides me in discussion is from Leviticus 19:33-34:
“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them... Love them as yourself.”

I take this figuratively with foreign ideas that I may not agree with. For at the end of the day, I think a conversation with someone that may be misinformed abouut something is way more productive than just telling someone they can’t say something, as long as they are genuine in discussing their ideas and not lying.

Cowboys fans.. i dont know how they stay so loyal to that team with the way Jerry Jones screws them. It is always a very public contract dispute between him and his star players…

Micah Parsons now wants a trade.. that’s two elite pass rushers in Hendrickson and Micah that want new teams.. as a dolphins fan, id be happy with either one though i prefer Hendrickson because he is more of a traditional defensive end, i believe he has a lot more power.

Micah is more of a guy you line him up at outside linebacker.. still very effective and explosive.. we are hoping chop robinson is the next micah.. which is why i prefer trey to have that traditional bullrush type of de..

Ill take either one. Even thinking about how they would look on the field for the dolphins i keep switching back no i rather have micah, no maybe trey..Micah is younger so he will be more expensive to trade for.. trey is 30 turning 31..

Trump was stumped today by a reporter who asked, if you knew that Epstein was stealing his employees and you were not happy with it, why did it take 7 years for mar a lago to cancel Epstein’s mar a lago membership after he “stole” Virginia Giuffre.

He had no answer.
