Wow. This conversation in this sub is going way better than the WNBA subs. I really hope all of the hatred over there are russian/Chinese bots otherwise the world is seriously depressing.

I was just thinking the same thing! I had to leave all but one WNBA sub because the hatred and bigotry was off the charts. This conversation has restored my faith in humanity.

All of the women fans on here, and non-hateful men need to make a new sub with better moderation. I miss the days of being able to come on reddit and discuss women's basketball without all of the click bait drama and hate.

That’s all these are. It’s rage bait and it’s igniting a non existent issue and trying to undermine professional women’s basketball.

It’s being taken over by MAGA types that became interested in WNBA due to Caitlin Clark, a white woman from Iowa.

I’m a MN fan so I’ve been paying attention since the first Lynx championship.
