Gonna be funny when the Sky’s main draw forces her way out of the city because the team is run by a bunch of cheapasses who don’t know ball 😡

some news After 7 seasons, my time with @winsidr.com has come to a close. I'm proud of all the words I got to adorn, the silly content we put out, and grateful for the people I got to create and nerd out with - it became more than a gig, but a real extension of my passion 1/

giving the Sky the ASG.. is just a PR stunt to keep Angel in Chicago.. this ownership doesn't deserve to get 2 all star games in 4 years..

They’re definitely going all-in to try to keep Angel Reese. Yet Jeff Pagliocca is still employed. How will this work? 🤔 #WNBA #WNBAAllStar2026 #ChicagoSky #Chicago

What are the odds the practice facility is still under construction by the time that game tips off?

I don't think they're great for many reasons!

Wow. I definitely wasn't expecting this.

Cuz it went so well last time....

A lot changed around the WNBA since Chicago's first time hosting the All-Star Game in 2022. Back then, the 3-Point Contest didn't even occur in the Sky's home arena because of a scheduling conflict. Flash forward to this summer, the game will be at United Center

OK, looks like I have A LOT of baking to do. WNBA All-Star Game is headed back to Chicago in 2026. This time it will be at the United Center.

Let's do the ASG right this time, #Skytown! #WNBA

You mean crime isn’t going to prevent the skills comp from being open to the general public like last time? 🧐

She’s definitely leaving Chicago 😭🥺 #WNBA

It’s been a good run Cathy

Dana Evans man. True competitor. She wasn't trying to deal with AT walking through her 😤😂 #WNBASky

The Kah Copper that won Finals MVP in 2021 is single-handedly trying to keep this Mercury season alive!

Kid is FLOORED at what the WNBA Finals are doing right now

sometimes you're the team with Michael Jordan. Sometimes you're the team with Charles Barkley. Phoenix fans know.

#NeverForget 💀

Three angles, same M😤😤D!

Jewell Loyd and Dana Evans combined for 39 POINTS off the bench for the Las Vegas Aces in their Game 1 win 👀

Fun(?) fact. Whichever team wins the WNBA title this year will have the second-lowest regular season net rating of any championship team, only surpassing the 2021 Chicago Sky.

Kahleah is already the Playoffs Interview MVP.

The thing I’m most excited about in a 7 game WNBA series is that point where the coach that’s behind in the series has to go deeper in their bench to find solutions. Your time will be coming CP-T!!!

Is Dana's also "screaming at the nearest opposing player" I've somehow missed that

Yes I am well aware Kah and Dana have an almost identical 3 pt celebration

guys my sky ticket guy emailed me this week and tried to spin how this is a positive offseason for them i lol’ed

This is actually a more fun exercise than watching the game, so I'm going to try.

“As the WNBA has grown over the past 5 years, it could have tried to establish some independence from the NBA. Instead, the two have become even more intertwined…it is alarming that more and more power over the WNBA's future keeps going into the hands of a league that has spent decades devaluing it.

LEVERAGE. League's buzzword might be sustainability, but that's the word I keep coming back to. Players simply have more of it than ever before. Franchise values skyrocketing, stars are millionaires before they turn pro, players own/run an alternate US league. This is a whole new ballgame. #WNBA

Name all the Sky draftees in these wnba finals rosters I promise you you won’t be able to

The Chicago Sky did black jerseys at home first in the wnba you can’t convince me otherwise #skytown #wnbafinals

Team-centric accounts do the legwork for me challenge 😜 At the very least, Chicago, NY and Seattle are guaranteed to see a former player win a title….

Dana Evans & Kahleah Copper circa 2021 #skychamps #WaybackWednesday #wnba #merchmoment

Dana Evans or Kahleah Copper will be getting their 2nd wnba championship in 2025 🥹 #SkyChamps

They're calling it the longest day in WNBA history

The WNBA is a microcosm of how obscenely talented Black folks, in this case Black women specifically, have to navigate the incompetence of whiteness and its tokens to make a decent living at something they excel at.

Too many fucking games in too short a time. The WNBAPA really needs to fight for game limits depending on potential length of season.

I think the plan was always to have Cathy's name+face attached to the CBA and non-sensical & undervalued tv/media deals, etc The NBA controls the WNBA and the NBA makes all the decisions, PERIOD! But they will replace her and make her the scapegoat publicly; she knew this all along.

Also fuck Adam Silver and all the other men trying to lord over the remarkable players of the WNBA

Just to add to this, I keep seeing skeets like "How long can Cathy maintain her job?" This *is* her job. If the players want Cathy gone, the thing to do is start putting Adam Silver in the news all the time. The WNBA officiating isn't controlled by the WNBA, and neither are rookie salaries.

Englebert's job is to be a heat magnet and take away attention from the group really negotiating the WNBA CBA, which is the NBA. By all means, boo her ass off when she rears her head (especially during in-game interviews, PLEASE) but save some vitriol for Adam Silver and the NBA owners.

Very fair, and a worthwhile reminder. But if she's going to take credit for "the media rights deal that I got them", then she gets 'credit' for the bad side too. But yeah, big part of any Commissioner's job is always to be the front-person taking the stick for the people behind who want cover.

Cathy gonna be so pro-owners in the CBA negotiations to a terrifying degree… which I guess she may already have been anyway? I wonder if she adds in something to the CBA out of spite lol I’ll see y’all for the 2027 season yeah?

I honestly think she’s on the way out and the league office is denying it because dumping the commissioner as you’re negotiating a new CBA is bad optics and hurts your leverage
