Anyway, that’s my sports rant of the day

And anyone who says women’s sports aren’t as appealing or worth watching - the WNBA, NWSL, and PWHL are all more interesting than the NBA. Y’all are just sexist and don’t want to admit it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, everyone deserves more than just hearing about Caitlin Clark all the time, and I want the men to shut up and stop talking about her and actually pay attention to the league for 5 seconds.

Paige Bueckers is out here breaking rookie records left and right. And before her have been many greats that drew national attention and deserved even more, like DT, Sue Bird, Candace Parker, Maya Moore, Stewie, A’ja Wilson… the list could go forever.

I’ve had multiple men tell me over the last few weeks that the WNBA wasn’t good before Caitlin and that she is the only reason anyone watches. I won’t deny that she’s good and has mass appeal. HOWEVER, there are so many players who have done it better and are better now who deserve their flowers.

My new “I will beat this dead horse and die on this hill” is the fact that Paige Bueckers is one of the best to ever enter the league but men who only watch the NBA and only watch the WNBA for Caitlin Clark cannot stop their “Caitlin Clark is the best and the only person worth watching” mess

I will say, this site will not be able to fully replace other social media until more journalists, news sites, and weather reporting is happening in real time on here.

(And don’t get me started on the inherent ableism in chronic illness - I’ll leave that for another day)

Anyway, these posts are brought to you by my own journey with ableism and chronic illness and work I’ve done to unpack my own internalized fatphobia

I hate how it’s caused so much fatphobia in the process, though. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and we should respect that.

I will be the first one to say I am not a fan of prescribing GLP-1s to treat weight only. But when weight is a symptom of a problem a GLP-1 can treat and it is starting to legitimize that we don’t always have control through diet/exercise/supplements/whatever we’re being told, I’m okay with it.

When I tell y’all that I have had *two* respiratory illnesses that caused me to miss work since the pandemic started - a cold last year and covid this year - I mean it. My body just sabotages itself for sport without any outside help

In other news, looks like I need to become a Dallas Wings fan because Paige Bueckers is THAT girl
