Amazing athletes seem to forget fans pay their salaries. WNBA is entertainment. If you sign up to be the dancing monkey, don’t complain when Giuseppe give you the Fez and collection cup.
The fucking entitlement. Don’t remember Anna Kornikova bitching much after not winning a tournament for the millionth time.
I’d assumed she was lesbian. Mazaltov to the happy couple.
Most definitely not.
I found the ESPN long feature on her where she is quoted as pissed at the WNBA for over-marketing her as a straight white girl.
The attention that comes with being the No. 1 pick only added to the pressure Plum experienced at Washington. "Let's be real," Plum says. "It doesn't help that I'm straight. I'm white. I'm probably, to that point, one of the most overhyped, overmarketed college players that we've seen in the national spotlight. And then all of a sudden I come into the W and everyone wants to just kill you."
-- During her first season, Plum started 23 of the 31 games she played and averaged 8.5 points and 3.4 assists in 22.9 minutes. She made the WNBA All-Rookie team, though Allisha Gray, the No. 4 pick at Dallas, was named Rookie of the Year. It wasn't a dominant debut season by any metric, but Plum still saw her face promoting her team and her league and felt it was undeserved. She blocked the WNBA on social media. She has said that she still has the league blocked today.
"They were trying to milk everything out of me in my rookie year and it was brutal," Plum says. "I wasn't ready for it. I didn't want it. I just wanted to, like, play basketball. My rookie year, man, it was worse than picking up the dog poop for sure."
kudos for the wnba for at least trying. i didnt notice, but still.
