Welp, apparently the WNBA beclowned themselves once again on Tuesday…
The Fever said arena security interviewed the fan and witnesses and found no violation of the WNBA Fan Code of Conduct.
“Following a report of a comment directed toward a player, arena security spoke with the fan involved and witnesses,” the team said. “Security determined there was no violation of the Fan Code of Conduct, the fan was not removed from the arena. We consider the matter closed.”
The man was escorted away from his seat temporarily but was later allowed to return.
Freedom argued Wilson should have been ejected under Rule 12A, Section V of the WNBA rulebook, which says any player, coach, trainer or other team bench member who deliberately enters the spectator stands during a game will be automatically ejected. The rule also defines the first row of seats as the beginning of the stands. Wilson instead received only a technical foul.

I ‘guess’ if you’re a black ‘star’, and get ‘disrespected’ (so she said) the rules don’t apply to you…
Shocking, isn’t it?
Apparently Wilson is ‘known’ to be a rough player, depending on her strength and ‘star power’ to avoid being called out for her play.
I flipped on ESPN and watched a few minutes of a game last night, Dallas vs. somebody, and saw a LOT of carrying the ball, a lot of fouls, and nothing being called…
Did a little more digging, apparently the ‘fan’ who ‘dissed’ Wilson was male, and did nothing more than point at her and say something about her gross foul. But I guess being male and pointing was enough to set her off…
Glad I’m not wasting my time with that hot mess. I have better things to do than watch a bunch of… oh never mind…
Back to writing…
Huh, ‘mysteriously’ this post didn’t go up on time… And it’s interesting to watch the MSM come out with support for Wilson and all the ‘good’ things she’s done…
So there is a “Fan Code of Conduct” if you go to a WNBA game, Whoda thunk it? Also, a player violates the rules, and it’s the fan that gets pulled aside for questioning. Strange game this WNBA.
I care nothing for what those “athletes” do or complain about. Or the fans.
A related question on the writing, although you most likely don’t have an answer, for the book, “Into The Green”, the intro chapters talked briefly about Fargo and his earlier years, and service time, would you happen to have any future ideas for writing a “prequel”?
NRW- That’s the ‘latest and greatest’… sigh
Grog- I’ve thought about it, maybe as a short or novella.
Re the WNBA, apparently they have ‘decided’ Wilson ‘technically’ didn’t go into the stands, she was in a ‘runoff’ area under the basket… Snort…
I dislike thinking I have to distrust black people simply because they’re darker than I am – it speaks against those people I’ve worked and partied with … then comes along so many instances where “Verify, then Trust” is more correct than Reagan’s version. Of course, he was speaking of Russians …
WNBA is a financial joke. Since I don’t watch it, ot the NBA for that matter, show me with a big shrug.
There seams to be point shaving by coaches in some of the games. Taking out players when they get hot to keep from tuning the score. I like the Fever from Indianapolis. They play at 8:00 PM on USA today.
Tom- Good point.
WSF- True…
Ed- Wouldn’t surprise me a bit!
