As the WNBA grows, so does tension between players and media. For a league that has been clamoring for more coverage since its inception, the final championship game’s aftermath hinted at continued growing pains. The famous scenes of athletes celebrating in champagne-soaked locker rooms never emerged because cameras were not allowed to capture them. A number of reporters and TV outlets requested to speak with some of the Liberty’s stars, including Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, but the players did not talk to them. The entire Aces team, meanwhile, visited the media room for a news conference but, amid the celebration, didn’t answer some questions to offer insight into how they won the game. www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/as-the-wnba-grows-so-does-tension-between-players-and-media/ar-AA1jnjQd?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=cf990e6394cf4824a268cd081f13359b&ei=48

As hard as it is, the losing players have a responsibility to the league and the fans to talk to the media. It's part and parcel of being a "professional." They are supposed to be setting an example for young players.

People want access. Its why some of these streamers are bigger stars than actors and actresses these days.
It always annoys me how Belichick and Popovich conduct themselves at postgame interviews. Because I think that is part of the job. That is a big part of being a steward of the game.

There is some leadership of the players which seem to have attended Meghan Rapinoe's course on killing a womens professional team.

Feel free to bounce this post if you like. I will understand.
A couple of years ago (3 or 4, dunno) at Storrs, I see Sue!! WOWEE always fun and a pleasure! Sue is as usual: happy, gracious, beautiful self. Sitting to her left is this person: green or blue hair cut short, got a sour "I DON'T want to be here" look on her face - for the entire time. (As I recall they left in the 4th.)
I had no idea who she was. I don't follow social media. Eventually I found out that was Sue's SO.
I was, like, OK. Whatever. PMAD.

The Sue Rapinoe romantic alliance is a continuing mystery and pain to me. I think it unrealistic to think Sue and Rapinoe are not of one mind on the real and pretend issues of the day. I have dropped Sue from my favorites scrap book.

I have dropped Sue from my favorites scrap book. I am starting to agree with that. The more time that passes with Bird's silence, the more I am starting to believe that she is of the same inclination as Rapinoe.

Time will tell if so called "power couple" Sue and Rapinoe get divorced in future.
USA Women's Soccer teammates getting divorced after 4 years of marriage. Ashlyn Harris (long hair) and Ali Krieger (bun).
Soccer players Abby Wambach and Sarah Huffman got divorced years ago. Wambach since remarried.
