I wanted her to find another team

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why? It’s obvious she is appreciated by the team and fans. I couldn’t be happier.

oldandgifted.bsky.social•33 days ago

the fans actually appreciate her? That’s new

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes King Williams I certainly do believe that they do. The vast majority of Fever "basketball fans" love KM as do I, as well as, Angel, Dijonai, Alyssa etc. Unfortunately the MAGAhats and their trolls and bots thought CC would be their lightning-rod for their racism and their miserable lives. ✌️

oldandgifted.bsky.social•33 days ago

ok. Yes that’s true..lol.. Well.. It looks like Satou may come there too I guess ..

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’m hearing Liberty or Phoenix. Fever are looking overseas. Anyways l can’t wait for the W to start again. I won’t $25 extra a month for Unrivalled. Cheers to you.

I honestly believe this puts Indiana in the finals. @acincyfantalkin.bsky.social

acincyfantalkin.bsky.social•32 days ago

I agree, if not in then they’ll make a lot of noise for whoever they face. Keeping all three of them to run it back is clutch; they worked out the growing pains and they’ll be ready to roll

theeagles.bsky.social•33 days ago

Great news. Fever will be awesome this season.

alphonse1.bsky.social•33 days ago

I thought Mitchell was out the door.

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

You have to ask where these narratives come from and the motivation behind those who start and promote them.

theseeyes3000.bsky.social•33 days ago

Tbf, Mitchell was pretty aloof when asked if she wanted to stay w/ the Fever.

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

She sure was. Had me worried. Honestly I came to the W last year and found some excellent basketball and at 67 in CC and the Fever the most exciting showtime basketball I’d seen in years. However, I never expected the drama that came with it so I never know what to expect. Glad she signed. Cheers.

ryanfury.bsky.social•33 days ago

So excited for this!

stampytn.bsky.social•33 days ago

That team is going to be fire!

coopdog214.bsky.social•33 days ago

YES! The season can’t get here soon enough!

russlakey.bsky.social•33 days ago

Huge!

donpbenz.bsky.social•33 days ago

Love this game. Where did Brittany Griner go?

susielee48.bsky.social•33 days ago

Dream

jaycamp.bsky.social•33 days ago

Dream

heirfriar.bsky.social•33 days ago

Everyone thought Kelsey Mitchell was 100% going elsewhere after last season, while Kelsey Plum, Jewell Loyd, Alyssa Thomas, and BG all moved 👀

theseeyes3000.bsky.social•33 days ago

Excellent news. She would’ve been a total fool to leave the Fever. She’s going to thrive on and off the court playing next to Caitlin Clark. She’s gonna win titles and make more in sponsorship deals than she would anywhere else. Let’s go Fever.

lapsoirium.bsky.social•33 days ago

Let’s goooo!!

bayareahoops.bsky.social•33 days ago

I was worried this wasn’t going to happen, because WNBA Legend and insider Sheryl Swoopes had been saying that Mitchell was disgruntled and that there was locker room friction. Or maybe that was just conjecture she was passing off as fact.

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is quite unfortunate that a legend like Sheryl Swoopes is such a troubled woman. She created her “own” narrative purely based on her racially challenged animus towards a 22 year old Caitlin Clark who simply loves and wants to play basketball.

arsant10.bsky.social•33 days ago

Swoops speaks the truth. Im shocked she stayed in the environment.

bayareahoops.bsky.social•33 days ago

That’s what I mean! So maybe that reporting wasn’t accurate. Maybe whatever hurt feelings/squabbles weren’t as big of a deal as it was made to seem? 🤷‍♂️

Either way, good for KM. She got paid!

arsant10.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah. After the craziness of last year, I didn't think many players would want to stay there if given the chance. Maybe the new coach will be able to manage the team better.

bayareahoops.bsky.social•33 days ago

There was definitely a lot of craziness last season, but one thing the players themselves had been saying in interviews is that the locker room was tight & that they were blocking out the noise. Especially as their record improved. Coulda been savvy PR to say that, but maybe it was actually true! 🤣😅

justaguybluesky.bsky.social•33 days ago

Swoops is bitter.. trash.

arsant10.bsky.social•33 days ago

Nope. Keep that negativity out of here. I left Meta to get away from comments like that. She is stating her opinion, and you disagree. That doesn't make her trash.

bayareahoops.bsky.social•33 days ago

People seem to have a hard time separating discourse & critique from outright hostility. 😒

arsant10.bsky.social•33 days ago

Maybe we can change that. As a 28 year Liberty fan, I'm not a huge Swoops supporter, but calling her bitter and trash is for Twitter and Meta. I don't particularly agree with her, but she that doesn't make her trash.

theseeyes3000.bsky.social•33 days ago

Sheryl Swoopes is a terrible human being. Terrible human beings typically exhibit flippant dishonesty. The wnba needs to keep Sheryl away from their product.

iamladydi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Or maybe they worked it out.

bayareahoops.bsky.social•33 days ago

I hope that’s the case. Sometimes going through that sort of adversity as a group can bring them closer together, make the bonds stronger. Would be a cool story if that was part of KM’s experience and ultimate decision to sign for another season.

justaguybluesky.bsky.social•33 days ago

Bring it on.. get rid of Nalyssa Smith and bring in someone else.. Satou seems to be top of mind.

justchris79.bsky.social•33 days ago

Love Mitch! Fever def gonna be a challenge this coming season. And I’m a Sky/Sparks/Mystics fan (Sky wasn’t around in ‘97-ima overall W fan)

iamladydi.bsky.social•33 days ago

I like the Mystics owner. She’s an innovative forward thinker.

77tonyg.bsky.social•33 days ago

Sorry my friend, but I have to question your owner for her total disrespect for a 22 now 23 year old Caitlin Clark. It was one of the low-lights of an epic season in the WNBA and the growth and recognition of woman’s basketball.
