Sophie Cunningham Fever hits Minneapolis

Apparently, Sophie Cunningham is the newest superstar in the WNBA. Last Tuesday, Celeste Keaton, a minority owner of the Seattle Storm team got in the faces of 2 16-year-old female fans. By the end of the week, the WNBA had suspended Keaton from attending the team's next 5 home games. After the WNBA fined and suspended Keaton, Cunningham spoke up, with the Storm issuing a statement that said "We are aware one of our co-owners made comments to two fans in attendance at last night's game. We apologize that this happened. Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect." The statement read like it was written by a hostage than anything else.

Acccording to this Fox News article, "Jennifer Sey saw what happened during the Indiana Fever’s game against the Seattle Storm and insisted the 'Save Women’s Sports' movement needed to follow Sophie Cunningham to Minnesota on Sunday. 'When I watched the response in Seattle, frankly, the rally was really quite positive,' Sey told Fox News Digital. 'My understanding from folks I know that were there, our side, those supporting Sophie and standing up for women’s sports, outnumbered their side 10 to one, which is new. That’s a real shift.'" This interview is admittedly biased but it's still legitimate:

The WNBA needs new leadership. Celeste Keaton is a whack job for allegedly shouting down a paid of teenage fans. The WNBA has a generational talent in Caitlin Clark and the WNBA refs just let her get physically pulverized by inferior talents. The WNBA needs to realize that their refs are dictating the quality of the WNBA product by looking the other way too often on fouls against Caitlin Clark.

That brings us back to today's Lynx-Fever game and the counterprotests before the game. Will this be a protest? Will it be a protest when a basketball game suddenly broke out? Will it just be a basketball game? I don't know the answer to those questions. What I'm certain of, though, is that the Sophie Cunningham publicity tour will intensify.

Sey, the former U.S. national gymnastics champion and founder of XX-XY Athletics, is organizing a "Sophie Night" rally outside Target Center before the Fever play the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

It will mark the third consecutive Fever road game accompanied by a rally supporting Cunningham and her recent statements about protecting women’s sports. The movement began in Seattle on Tuesday, continued in Portland on Friday and will now move into another deep-blue Democrat stronghold.

Sey expects the attention generated by the previous rallies — and the controversy that erupted inside the Seattle arena — to draw a larger and potentially more contentious crowd in Minneapolis. "I think there will be more people there than there were in Seattle, just because now there’s been so much attention put on Seattle," Sey said. "And I think there could be more contentiousness."

Finally, let's see if the WNBA leadership finally wisens up. On that, I'm betting the under.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
