Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2056680, member: 6911"] "Statement from Nneka Ogwumike, WNBPA President: Our union is only as strong as our loyalty to and support for one another. What is key to that loyalty and support is our commitment to diversity and inclusion. ...Whether one agrees or disagrees with the comments made recently by a former player or whether one has seen or experienced anything like what she has described, anything that impacts an inclusive culture should be taken seriously.” Imani Boyette: "First, I was sad because that was your reality. I’m sorry you were bullied and felt that way during your career. Bullying is serious and no one deserves it. I hope you know that says more about the people who chose to mistreat you than you yourself...." I don't know what to think right now. I would like to understand what went on. Wiggins was a tremendous talent, one of the best in the country. I would like to see her interviewed at length, her teammates interviewed in depth, and other players asked probing questions. What was the truth? We shouldn't either immediately condemn Wiggins, or immediately side with her. The statements about attendance and viewership can be verified simply, and are subject to the facts. But her experience in the league, and the serious charge of deliberate bullying, deserve to be aired. Was she bullied? Do other players feel she was mistreated? Was she fouled more than were other players? Was she subjected to verbal abuse during games? I would like to know the truth, rather than to jump to conclusions. If the players union is stating that her comments "should be taken seriously," then we, too, should take it seriously. [/QUOTE]
