- I've also noticed a drop in my followers since yesterday when I started tweeting about #GeorgeLloyd. If me talking about racism in America makes you uncomfortable, please hit that unfollow button right now, because I refuse to be quiet just so people won't be made uncomfortable.
- What a cool story. D3 player, all-time wins leader at MIT, spends a few years in the NBA then last year in the W as an assistant. Gets her shot in the W as a HC at 51, and trail-blazing all along the way being the 1st Indian-origin person to do what sheโs done. Good stuff!Breaking: NY Liberty assistant Sonia Raman has agreed to a multiyear deal to become the new head coach of the Seattle Storm, sources tell @ShamsCharania. Raman makes WNBA history as the first person of Indian-origin to be head coach โ after being the first Indian-American woman
- Breaking news: if you water a plant, it will grow.A new study says women's sport has the ability to generate the money, but needs the visibility to succeed.
- My 1st coaching job out of college I made $0. My 1st D1 job was part-time & I got paid hourly for a max of 25 hours a week. I drove for Uber for a year. Iโve worked at coffee shops. Nobodyโs path is a straight one. The twists & turns are a part of your bigger story. Keep going.

00:00- I just reached out about an unsigned 2020. Coach- "She's actually only considering D1 offers right now. Me- "Oh okay, I thought she didn't have any offers right now, that's why I reached out. My mistake!" Coach- "Well she doesn't, but she's a D1 player so she's waiting." Me-
GIF - If a college basketball team is recruiting you, take it seriously & respect that. It doesn't matter if it's D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO. If a coach is interested in you, that is high praise. Their job is to win, & they think you could help do that? That's real. Don't diss anyone.
- Scary moment at the end of the Sparks game as a fan ran onto the court towards Chiney & Nneka Ogwumike with something in his hand. #WNBA
00:00 - Earlier, I tweeted that I was proud to have a @RebeccaLobo jersey hanging in the closet. She then said she expected me to wear it out tonight in honor of #WNBA opening night. Done, with pleasure. ๐ท: @CTbow
- Stop calling techs on women for showing passion and exuberance on levels that we praise men for showing.
- Dudes on Twitter: โThe WNBA sucks, nobody watches it or cares.โ Same dudes: Experts on womenโs pro sports business model, viewership, finances, as soon as theyโre called out for being sexist. Itโs OK if you donโt want to be a part of this. But ๐คซ & get out the way. We comin.
