Final question of the post-Finals press conference gave Chelsea Gray a chance to talk about the value of the players of the WNBA.

**When you have great players you need to treat them like that.**

And of course... the tambourine was on the ready! #WNBASky

The reporting and coverage at ESPN upsets us and yet Holly still has a job. She can go to hell.

Chrystal @chrystalll.bsky.social · 16h

Not Holly being upset that Cathy was booed lol girl bye. #WNBA

From Holly Rowe: This really disappointed me. The ONE thing we have always done as a community in the WNBA is respect women. I get it people want change in certain areas, but Cathy has done SO MUCH GREAT for the league too. #respectwomen #betonwomen

I do not support all women’s some of you bitches are very dumb!!!

When the liquor gave out, A’ja Wilson, teammate of The Point Gawd said to her, “We have no tequila!!!!!”

And The Point Gawd said to her, “Power Straight, what concern is that to me? My hour [for drinking tequila] has not yet come.”

I am driven out of society
And now they mock me in song;
I am a byword to them.
They abhor me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.

Go, drink your tequila and champagne with a merry heart, for The Point God has long ago approved what you do.
