  1. Why is this an incident? A news outlet, albeit a YouTuber, tried to interview a "celebrity" and she didn't like the questions. Women complain about negative attention but revel in positive attention. Men accept negative attention and "man up" without crying about it.

  2. If she has a mental setback because someone was mean to her then she needs to get out of the public spotlight. How is she not safe at the airport? If she's worried about safety, go through the security checkpoints and you'll know for sure that nobody has a weapon.

  3. Wait, did she say subsidies for the WNBA? Does she not know that the NBA is already subsidizing the WNBA and has been since the WNBA started? How about this? Let's use federal tax dollars to protect the WNBA and to fly them in charter flights.

  4. She's wants to be a man right…he can handle himself or should be able to…being masculine comes with a lot of responsibility…I'm just saying, what if she wasn't at the airport ? He's subject to people coming up to him anywhere…be a man…or be what you were born to be…and when I say him…I'm referring to Brittney

  5. Hey, I disagree about the Brittany Griner, thing. I saw the video and while I am in no way agreeing with the hate she is garner which is utterly ridiculous. Every professional athlete deals with heckling. Every famous person does. She isn’t getting a special kind of hate that wasn’t thrown at any famous person in my opinion. The security guard kept the guy away from her, but you can’t stop dumb people from doing thing like that. The small guy yelling at her isn’t causing her physical harm. Paying to charter the one teams flights (Which is the commissioner is adamant the league can’t afford) (I know this is one team versus twelve but still)). Seems like a bit of an overreaction. If the fan was court-side he’d be thrown out a if the fan was online you’d have to ignore it.

  6. Should I be shocked that women covering the biggest joke of a sports league in the world don’t know the difference between heckling and threatening? No, but somehow the stupidity never ceases to amaze me

  7. WNBA all star is a popularity contest. All WNBA is for the best.

    When last year Kelsey Mitchell and Alisha Gray were snub you all were okay with it. Thomas isn’t top ten (I also believe she should be a starter but that’s not the point I’m making) now both of you are speaking up. Keep the same energy.

  8. Imagine living the privileged life of Brittney Griner? Some white dude was recently locked up in Russia for THC, let's see what kind of coverage he gets and if POTUS is willing to trade a terrorist for him. Doubt it.

  9. The United Staes made a deal with Russia to get pot smoking, America hater Brittany Griner out of a Russian prison fo drug smuggling. So Russia got one of their top weapons dealers back and we got 140 pounds of trash.
