Sophie Cunningham Memes

[Brian in Mesa]

No, a moderator should not delete it. You don’t agree with its premise, which is perfectly fine. I personally wouldn’t have posted it. That doesn’t mean that it violates board rules. Not every post you dislike needs to be removed.

Exactly. The only questionable thing about the x post was the user who posted it and said some words when he posted it. I've reviewed the video a few times and have not found anything racist or sexist within the video itself.

racist....... BHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Its a 10 second video of an attractive girl dancing. Get real.

 

[JohnnyCakes]

You, as a huge WNBA fan, should report it then. So far two posters, known for their whining, have only whined about it.

So the statement about black lesbians is OK on a sports board with you?

@ASUCHRIS - Show us where Sophie hurt you.

I hope you can recover from your trauma.

She's a bore, and not a very good basketball player. People like you are only interested in her and the WNBA as a vector to punch down on the trans community. Pathetic.

You can choose to read or NOT read certain threads.

It's beyond hilarious that you're advocating avoidance when the board shut down an entire section to preserve feelings.

You should be happy Brian - you and your ilk got exactly what you wanted. You used to be someone I respected - I don't know what happened to you, but you've become incredibly mean spirited.

Interesting one to choose to complain about. Are you a big WNBA fan?

I like the WNBA just fine! I really don't like jerks who don't care about the league at all turning it into a political pinata, just to add more hate to the trans community.

If you think posts like these are in the spirit of what Skkorp wanted, you're even more lost than I thought.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

I apologize if that post offended anybody. I’m sorry.

I know you weren't trying to be a jerk - Sophie has become a darling of the right, and posts like this are inherently political. (P and R were supposed to be eliminated from the board, but here we are)

A. Sophie has every right to speak out against what she believes is an attack on girls sports.
B. The video posted by Adrian is harmless, however you turned it in the political arena that it has now become. YOU, nobody else, just YOU.
C. Your constant attacks on people on this forum have become repetitive and dull.
D. I doubt BIM is concerned with how you perceive him

Are there no African American lesbians in the WNBA? Its ok to say yes when its 100% factual.

I wasn't paying attention to the text in the tweet. I just say her dancing and no where else to put it. Like you said unfortunately here we are.

The WNBA, by its own account, is about 70 percent black and 40 percent lesbian, so it is not that far off, however I did say that the x poster that was the source is questionable, but the video itself is not. It is the equivalent of making a mountain out of a molehill for a single post in a WNBA meme thread buried within an Arizona sports message board. Just feels like users complaining to complain.

How about I couldn’t care less. This is a sports message board, not a day care.

Like I said, I wouldn’t post it, but like most things I dont care for, I just don’t get triggered. There’s no more PR board here largely because people crashed out over the dumbest sh*t

I bet you reviewed it a few times. In your bedroom. While wifey wasn’t home.

Very well said.

Not a problem with the majority of the board. It happens. I doubt you checked the follower count of the guy who posted it either. LOL

 

[Rivercard]

Why report it? It won't accomplish anything. You already declared the post to be perfectly acceptable.

So far two posters, known for their whining, have only whined about it.

Someone who doesn't agree with you is dismissed as whining now?

Is that the new standard at ASFN?

When you post that you found something objectionable on a sports message board which has a reporting function, yet you did not report the objectionable content, yes, it seems like whining.

All reports are treated seriously. I am not a mod for the WNBA board, so the final decision would not be mine. I can however freely share my opinion on something - especially when it is something that no one has reported.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Is that the new standard at ASFN?

Nope, just reassuring Adrian that it wasn't the first time someone posted a tweet from a questionable source because a different part of the tweet - like a video - had the actual content you wanted to post. Sophie Cunningham dancing and being silly seems fine to post in a Sophie Cunningham meme thread in a WNBA forum buried on an Arizona sports message board.

 

[Adrian]

As mod of the wnba board I deleted it and the person who quoted my tweet.

Enough.

You can also report a post or thread.

I haven't been on here because of hypocritical RACISTS like you, BIM.

You bitch and moan about politics in the main board, but now YOU and @Adrian are spewing racism and transphobia in a non-political board.

THIS @jf-08, @Devilmaycare @Iceman and @Shaggy shows how badly this board is run, with you allowing death threats against transgenders to stay up

The three of you (joel, DMC and BIM) have ruined a once great board.
