| Living for the Twitter drama between Jones and Diggins-Smith. |
Michaela Onyenwere (in SDS's replies) and DiDi Richards (via quote tweet) have entered the battle as well. It's gloriously messy, but I love players defending their teammates.
SDS has a point, although not as much of one as she thinks; marketing by the front office itself has been split between Sabrina and Betnijah. Heck, the official #OwnTheCrown ad has none other than Jaz as the featured player. But there is a lot of hype and overhype surrounding Sabrina, much of it coming from major media outlets and a good chunk of it coming from league marketing. The merch availability doesn't help. Getting literally any other Liberty jersey is a custom job. (Source: hey, my Natasha Howard jersey arrived! Two months after the anniversary it was a gift for...)
That being said... if any player in this league would be a hypocrite to complain about another team's player being overhyped, Skylar Diggins-Smith would be pretty high on that list, especially since at least some of SDS's earliest publicity didn't come from her basketball skills. |
From what I read, Skylar wasn’t complaining, Jaszmine was. Jaz was the one who replied to BR. Skylar didn’t send the video to BR.Skylar has a valid point as well. As big as NY is, all you hear about is Sabrina from the National media. Don’t take shots or hate on other players. Focus on you and your team. Hell, at least BR put up highlights of a WNBA player. That’s better than nothing!

| Not really the right way to go about it. Complain about another player making a great play and it finally gets noticed by some media. Just acknowledge the play first and then hype your teammate up or not react at all

| I just like the drama. #messy |
I love it! My favorite podcast likes to refer to sports as "reality TV for cishet males" (I know that doesn't describe most of the people here, but work with me), and I'm here for all of it! Because I hate reality TV, but I love mess. I mean, I'm not super-comfortable with the idea of women athletes being stereotyped with the "dramatic" tag, but I personally feel like there's not enough drama in sports: I want more (which is at least 40 percent of the reason why I like Cambage so much)!

The game shouldn't have even been that close.
