That’s when members of Travis’ entourage allegedly began throwing bottles. Jordan and Travis weren’t the only stars celebrating the last weekend of the World Cup at Zero Bond.

Angel Reese Responds As ‘Protected Species’ Comment Earns Suspension For Karen Coach.  BOSSIP reports…Sandy Brondello is facing backlash and a suspension after her comments about Angel Reese sparked controversy. What started as frustration with the officiating quickly turned into one of the biggest conversations across the WNBA this weekend.

Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello is under fire after a hot mic caught her referring to Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese as a “protected species” during Friday night’s game. Late in the game, Reese collided with Toronto’s Nyara Sabally on a play.. Sabally hit the floor clutching her ribs and was eventually helped off the court with what was later revealed to be a rib injury.

While officials sorted out the sequence, Brondello, visibly upset with the whistle, was caught on the broadcast yelling toward the referees, “Angel, she’s a protected species!” The hot mic moment spread across social media almost instantly and sparked immediate backlash. Many fans felt the wording crossed a line, especially considering Reese is one of the league’s most recognizable stars. One user on X wrote, “Calling a Black woman a species…” Reese saw the post and wasted no time responding. She quote tweeted it with, “ARE WE SURPRISED?! @SBrondello”

From The Locker Room …

Brie: “From now on, I will go after what I want and stop waiting on my prince to ride up and swish me away.  If I see a guy I like, I will make the choice. Women must become more aggressive in the match game.”  Stephanie: “If I can’t capture a man’s heart, I’m not settling anymore for his libido.  Some of us get tired of what appears to be a fruitless search and opt for the church to replace the longing.  Others stay active in the “game” and catch as catch can.  We hang tough with “shells” of what we’re looking for and work off our disappointments. “ MORE

8 Things That Keep

You Interesting…

by Kayna Kenall

• A sincere desire to please others. A faked, hypocritical interest in others, on the other hand, sounds insincere.
• A good sense of humor. This quality is a saving grace in any conversation, and people who can laugh at themselves without putting themselves down are real winners.
• An imagination that can bring life to the dullest of topics.
• Self-restraint. A good conversationalist refrains from beginning all conversations with “I”.  A good conversationalist initiates topics by turning interest toward the others present.
• A good self-image combined with appropriate humility… He or she plays down rather than broadcasts his or her expertise in certain fields, thus allowing others to discover it by themselves.   MORE
