Megan Rapinoe: WNBA media needs 'more understanding' for queer culture.
Sorry Megan,but the media is sexist and homophobic.
And racist.
That's why they hype and overhype the "golden girl" instead of promote teams like the Las Vegas Aces,who have dominated the WNBA. Teams that are mostly Black and queer.
And why they push for a ban on LGBTQ+ athletes in sports altogether.

You know how courts (looking at you Supreme Court) manipulate history to get the outcome they want?
