I guess it's safe to say she isn't afraid of confronting her demons. lol!
Seriously, a picture in the paper like that where I come from would make her a legend._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

yes, it does me, too.

ultimately, caune's remark puts all of this in perspective. leslie has a rep. and as difficult as it may be to accept - icey, are you listening? - there is some truth in every stereotype, and all the people out there who think leslie is a dirty player aren't just hating on her out of the clear blue, for no good reason; it cannot be explained away as jealousy or some other such shit. in some way (and the devil's in the degrees of it), she has earned that rep. but caune's wisdom is that this is human nature. with such a rep, it's hard to see/believe/buy/accept the times when leslie is completely innocent.
she wasn't completely innocent yesterday. but neither was swoopes, no matter what her majesty says. she pushed/poked/pinched/prodded leslie with her right hand, on leslie's waist. that's what started it. swoopes was wrong. but leslie was wrong to react as she did, especially since she had to reach out, balancing on one foot, to do it.
but also, part of how leslie got her rep is in those facial expressions: the smirk, the doe eyes, the look of innocence and incredulity. her apology was an affront because, after she apologized, she walked away shaking her head and rolling her eyes like, "why did i have to do that? this is nonsense."
i'm admitting (to myself) that leslie didn't start that one, but she's still a prissy-azz dirty player who thinks she can do whatever she pleases (swoopes was right on about that). whether she's jekyll or hyde off the court . . . i really don't care.

See y'all are just like the jammer that's why he loves you so. You can read Lisa's expression. It's not that we're psychic it's just that a lot of people CAN'T read people's faces etc. Her Majesty may have pinched Lisa but Lisa's reaching and pushing Swoopes was an arrogant overreaction.
Swoopes? That girl has brass ovaries. Those pictures tell you everything you need to know about her._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

Dude, it's fast approaching a decade on the boards and I still have no idea where your head is at! |
Perfectly understandable, really. The entity known to you all as 'the jammer' is really a fantasmagoric amalgam of multiple characters layered upon each other with many of those being often only accessable to certain individuals and/or cliques existing within the larger group.

Thanks, The Jammer.
If I could quantify just how much that clears things up for me I would.

I am glad sheryl stood her ground and reacted the way she did she bumped leslie but not as hard as to warrant a push in her back and any one in their right minds is not going to let no 1 push them in their back and not retaliate swoopes reacted like I would have in that situation if any punishments come out of this lisa will be suspended if sheryl gets anything she will be fined but I doubt anything will happen cause leslie never gets punished for her over reactions, and the league may not think that this situtation warrants punishments
and did yall see sheryl that woman went in there with 4 players , thats why I admire her she has so much heart

she did not push her I was there I know u probally werent u saw it on tv, but i'll admit she did bump into her sheryl isnt the only player who has bumped into her, players bump into ecother all the time and not retalliate like leslie did like I said im proud of swoopes, but i've never seen her react like this im glad the players were in between them cause man it would not have been pretty at all
