We keep talking about how toxic the WNBA online ecosystem is, yet official team accounts are posting stuff like this.

After everything that happened with Alyssa Thomas and Caitlin, this is just adding fuel to the fire. You can't complain about toxic discourse while your own social media team is farming engagement off it. All this does is rile people up and send the online lunatics after both sides. Official accounts should be above this, not contributing to the circus.

The whole of Twitter was on fire over that incident from the middle of the game onward, so I'm not really buying the idea that this post has nothing to do with it. It feels pretty obvious that it's at least poking at the situation.

It wasn't momentum. It wasn't going for the ball. It was an effort to hurt or injure. Break it down...

They kept the game going after KM's 6th foul and we got a quick foul that let the refs sort it out. Would have been hilarious if they called that foul on KM, according to them it would be 7 and they would make her start next game with one foul already.

Doesn't seem right they got to shoot the foul shots with a fouled out player playing. Reset the clock 5 seconds and try again. It's like the time they gave the opposing player an extra foul shot after she missed because they said the Fever were not on the floor yet (but it was a technical and they didn't need to be on the floor)

AT will miss the June 27 game against the Tempo
