| Times Up said it was the best decision for Borders and the Times Up organization. How is it the best decision for Times Up? It sounds like they wanted her gone and her leaving was the best thing for Times Up. I doubt she just resigned because of family issues. She also just ‘resigned’ from the WNBA too. I personally think she was TOLD to resign from the WNBA so they wouldn’t have to embarrass her by announcing she was fired and also because it would ‘look bad’ for the WNBA to fire her as President because she’s black. And no, I’m 100% not racist, but they don’t want people thinking they fired her because there would be backlash about firing a black woman president. I have a feeling she was fired from Times Up as well because she’s a crappy President. But that’s just my ideas on the whole thing. Probably wrong.

| my 2 questions: how old was the son at the time of the alleged sexual harassment? & secondly, if he was an adult, why is she stepping down? surely, a parent can't be held responsible for what an adult child does.????

Well wouldn't it depend on other things like, did she know about it, did she hide any of it, and possibly lots of other scenarios. But would you want a representative with any kind of dirty laundry that was anti to your message in charge?
This brings to mind how the W chooses to promote the game, they need to do background checks on who they are promoting as if any come up with some kind of past that is a negative for women in general it would be counterproductive. Things like, harassment, cheating, etc. It should be easy checks with all the social media these days.

I heard she knew about it and said nothing. She’s always been extremely fake and now this just proves it even more
