As a substitute of apologizing, the classless athletes are shamelessly making an attempt to play the sufferer card, although it’s not working, as readers will later study on this article. CBS Sports activitiesreported that on Wednesday a person confronted the Chicago Sky gamers exterior of their lodge in Washington, DC, the day earlier than their sport in opposition to the Mystics.

One other man, presumably a Chicago Sky safety staffer, will get between the person and Carter whereas waving his fingers.
In what world does asking a easy and acceptable query represent harassment?

Sky Participant Michaela Onyenwere claims the video is selectively edited and doesn’t present the person calling them vulgar names and insulting feminine sports activities.
Fascinating how the video posted was edited and doesn’t embrace when he harassed our workers whereas calling us “ghetto b******” and saying “girls’s sports activities isn’t s***”.
We aren’t about to normalize issues like that.
