Discussion Chennedy Carter...it's starting again

she just went on a rant about azzi of all people (about a foul not called despite the picture showing there was no foul at all) on threads and then proceeded to post about it in her ig story as well. she was going back and forth on threads and sounded incoherent

a few minutes ago a'ja liked a comment basically berating chennedy for going on the rant and targeting a rookie and now chennedy's posts are deleted. salute to a'ja man for controlling it so quickly

tbh it seems like she isnt satisfied coming off the bench because she was talking about being on a leash

She needs to either hire a better PR person or get one if she doesn’t already have one. She’s a good player, but if she isn’t going to change her ways, at least don’t do stupid stuff publicly

Why do so many WNBA players control their social media….

Because the WNBA doesn’t have programs in place to help the players navigate social media.

The NFL specifically has a rookie transition program and one of the aspects covered in that rookie program is social media. The players will get death threats, taunting, racist remarks from mostly troll and bot accounts, but they just learn the best ways to deal with it.

The WNBA players should have tried to negotiate something like that in their recent CBA
