It all seems to have started when GM Penny Toler made a comment about Candace Parker's new hairstyle. Later another player was heard making a retaliatory comment about Toler's "nappy weave." Toler told her "You're not pretty enough to be this stupid, gurl." The unnamed Spanx player then shot back, "Does it cost a lot of money to look as cheap as you do?" The nails came out and the fur began a-flyin'.

I can't get enough of the WNBA. The locker room drama, the two-handed chest heave set shots, the sight of mullets in the crowd and the smell of mullets in the locker room. This is American sport, born of feminist Title IX entitlement, and it could not be better.

Well well... sh*t just got real

Sparks' Toler, GM since 1999, out amid turmoil

I wonder how many people you'd have to interview to find someone who had actually watched WNBA game, on purpose.

Started throwing a castnet when I was five. Mullet is really good eats and don't forget the roe. Dredged in cornmeal and fried in butter, the white and yellow are better than beluga caviar. Politics has very little to do with good taste.

This is the most interesting and relevant information I’ve ever read in connection to the WNBA.

When in college, my frats intramural basketball team was asked to scrimmage/practice with the girls team (major P5 ACC team with a couple NCs). We drug their ass pretty bad. It was like playing a high school jv boys team. I thought it would be fun but it was pretty sad.

This needs to be merged with the pork chop thread.

Mullet is bait btw.

I worked on the Suwannee for a year and when I was at Suwannee (the city) there was restaurant we could pull the boat up to and have very fresh fried mullet. It was amazing. Very good fish when fresh...or smoked.

That’s hilarious. I don’t have anything that good but in high school our girls soccer team got real mouthy one year (think during the Nike anything you can do I can do better campaigns) and our coach stopped the mixed scrimmages and told us not to hold back. It was a bloodbath with a lot of trash talk that would be front page news these days.

Years ago there was a poll in one of the WNBA cities. The question was, “Would you rather find a $5 bill in the gutter or see your WNBA team win a championship?”

I think it was either 98 or 99% for the 5-spot.

Maybe they're just jealous of some of the girls who are more popular, but the cliquiness and cattiness seem to have spilled out into an all-around difficult situation. Spanx' coach Derek Fischer didn't help things when he offered to let players stay home during their "ladies' time" every month, (encouraging them to in a hopeful tone, really). It all seems to have started when GM Penny Toler made a comment about Candace Parker's new hairstyle. Later another player was heard making a retaliatory comment about Toler's "nappy weave." Toler told her "You're not pretty enough to be this stupid, gurl." The unnamed Spanx player then shot back, "Does it cost a lot of money to look as cheap as you do?" The nails came out and the fur began a-flyin'.

D Fish what have you done to your career? Crazy disaster with the Knicks and the Sparks. But for the Sparks to fire their black general manager who's won several championships in 20 years for using a racial epithet is absolutely ridiculous. Especially since that racial epithet is commonly used in television movies and rap songs. She's black so she's supposed to be able to use that terrible word correct? Maybe they can ask the governor of Virginia. ;)
