Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2060614, member: 6927"] Whoa. Kayte Christensen (played in the NBA for 6 seasons) was in no mood to pull punches. By far the most scathing response I've seen in print. [INDENT]Well, I’m also a straight woman who was in a serious relationship throughout the course of my 6-year career (which would qualify as being “vocal in my identity as a straight woman”) and never ONCE was there an issue with that. Never once was there any form of jealousy or bullying. My boyfriend and I were not only welcomed with open arms but we both spent significant time with my teammates off the court. Is it possible that I was the exception? Hardly. I had multiple straight teammates who’s husbands and boyfriends shared the same experience. ... The crazy thing about all the garbage Wiggins has spewed about her former employer and co-workers is that the WNBA from day one has been one of the most (if not [I]the[/I] most) inclusive environments in professional sports. And that goes from the women on the court, coaches on the bench and executives in the front offices to the fans in stands. ... But for Wiggins to take it a step further and say “The way I looked, the way I played – those things contributed to the tension,” is just another example of a deluded individual who apparently doesn’t understand the dynamics of professional sports. ... When someone talks about the way they look working against them it screams EGO. I’ve got three words for you…get over yourself! You thought life in the WNBA was hard? If that’s how you look at yourself then life after isn’t going to be any easier.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
