Quote:
The Undefeated spoke with six current and former WNBA players about what it’s like being a professional women’s basketball player and what their detractors can do to better understand their sport (“Shut up and watch” is a common response). The players include Atlanta Dream center Imani McGee-Stafford, Phoenix Mercury forward Devereaux Peters, free-agent forward Mistie Bass, Washington Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne, Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson and Los Angeles Sparks center Candace Parker.

Have you ever been challenged to play one-on-one versus a man?

Candace Parker: Yeah, but it’s like, what makes you think I want to play you? That’s my thing. It’s like when people say, ‘I’ll play you one-on-one.’ What makes you think I want to waste my time playing you?

What would you say to those who heavily criticize women’s basketball?

I'm so glad that folks are clearing this up. It was irritating seeing people making fake memes to cause enmity and confusion!

She's been dealing with this nonsense longer than the others. She knows how to handle it.

When I saw the title thread, the first thing that came to mind was the old song by Richard "Kinky" Friedman, called "Get Those Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In Bed". Wink
