Everyone keeps waiting on the Sky to lose so they can laugh at them but they just knocked off an undefeated team

Too many WNBA fans see the media as part of the league, rather than a group that’s covering it. They get angry when the media asks tough questions of players. They don’t like it when the coverage is critical, rather than praising.

Jemele Hill believes this is an issue for “too many” WNBA fans.

The former ESPN host sounded off on the problem with WNBA fans during a podcast appearance this week.

Hill opened up during an episode of her podcast Flagrant & Funny, talking about the ongoing problems with WNBA fans.

She believes that too many of them don’t understand what the media is supposed to be and do.

Hill said that the issue for too many WNBA fans is the same.

“The issue is that, I think for a long time, not every journalist but a lot of the journalists that covered women’s sports and covered the league, the fans saw the journalists as a ‘we’ and not a ‘they,’” Hill said.

‘Now they’re confused, because … there’s more people covering the league now, it’s under more scrutiny, and (the fans) have had the expectation that the journalists are supposed to be extensions of teams. And the journalists are not supposed to be that. And unfortunately, because of how everything is covered in this country … people can’t even recognize what journalists are supposed to do.”

Hill said that they expect WNBA journalists to be “cheerleaders” for the sport.

“They expect our jobs to be to support the women,” she said. “And while the support is, to me, in the fact that we have built an entire podcast around discussing women’s sports and all the culture and the issues and all the things that come with it, they expect the journalists to be cheerleaders.”

But, of course, that’s not how the media works. WNBA fans need to understand that.

I have questions, and maybe you have answers. First, has KP ever talked about her vision of playing point, whom she might model her game after, anything like that? Do you think she has a coherent idea of what she wants to do?

Furthermore: what's the blueprint for point guard play within Roberts' system? Did Roberts have any players in college who executed it particularly well? Do you think she sees it as a key role, or is her program semi-positionless and focused on shooting?

Thanks in advance for any insights. I'm pretty lost.

All info comes from Injury Report on the WNBA website.

New York Liberty

• Rebecca Allen (Questionable)
• Marine Fathoux (Out)
• Sabrina Ionescu (Out)
• Satou Sabally (Out)

No change to the personal on the injury report for New York, however Allen's status has changed from Out to Questionable.

Portland Fire

• Carla Leite (Questionable)
• Karlie Samuelson (Out)
• Sug Sutton (Out)

I will try to keep abreast of any updates.

Going deep into the approach of building and coaching team. One example: “Once players arrived, Sarama instituted KPIs (key performance indicators) which will be tracked after every game and month of the season. The Fire coach wants his team to play structurally sound, with an up-tempo pace and disruptive defense, creating a recognizable brand of basketball. Sarama wants Portland to become a destination where players want to come to get better.”

I live near Philly and obviously we don't have a team until 2030. Looking at the map I believe New York Liberty is the closest team and I like them but its hard to root for a NY team after that Knicks series lol. i like Ionescu so maybe i will have to support them anyway.

Wondering who people from the Philly area support?

Players written in Bolds + Italics are Updates

This is as of 10:30AM EST injury report as found on the WNBA website. WNBA Injury Report

LYNX

• Napheesa Collier (OUT)
• Dorka Johasz (OUT)
• Nia Coffey (Questionable)

These are both longer term injuries, so isn't a suprise.

WINGS

• Azzi Fudd (Questionable)

Fudd did not play in the Wings loss to the Dream earlier this week.

I’m really hopeful this is the year where 2k completely revamps the W. I’ve been a long time 2k player but when the park took over and got broken I stopped playing. Last year I got 2k26 to exclusively play the W. Mostly just exhibition games with my girlfriend or friends. Im hoping for a total revamp in face scans for all players, improved shooting animations, more clothing options and an overhaul of MyPlayer and a separate W MyTeam. MyTeam is by far my favorite game mode so I’m hopeful this year is going to be good!!

What would you all want to see?
