ANNOUNCEMENT A message about the transgender conversations in this subreddit

154 Upvotes

Unfortunately, I am probably going to lock comments on this post after making it because I don't want people in this subreddit to fight each other.

When you engage in these discussions, I know there are going to be some of you who will come in to say what you want. Many of you are in support of trans brothers and sisters in sports. Some of you believe trans people should be in their own co-ed league. Some of you just plain don't care to respect trans people and actively say awful things. These conversations get derailed pretty easily. When things like this happen, people end up coming in here and breaking Rules 1, 2, 4, and 6; and then we have to lock the posts.

As I have said in r/wnba_discussions and as I have also said in r/NYLiberty, rules are here for reasons. Here in r/TorontoTempo, Rules 1 2, 4, and 6 (and sometimes by extension 8, 9, 10, and 12) can revolve around societal issues such as LGBTQ individuals; which does not just cover lesbian, gay, bisexual/biromantic, and the overall queer, but trans as well.

Many people in the WNBA fandom have noticed that there is at least one athlete in the WNBA who is vocal against the idea of female trans athletes (and I do mean those who go from M to F and are therefore now going by female gender pronouns of their choice) in women's sports. Many know that some former NBA players have decided to troll and joke aobut the idea of transitioning to join the WNBA. However, we have seen other WNBA athletes say they would welcome the idea of transgender women in the wnba and that it's a non-issue.

But as I stated here, just like how you shouldn't be homophobic in this subreddit, the rules also cover transphobia; and even further, mocking people in this subreddit who support the idea of transgender athletes being able to partake in sports is not allowed.

You can have your personal beliefs on the matter, whether you support this action or not; however, expressing negative views on individuals of their race, religion, creed, color, gender (which also includes gender after transition) and so on is not allowed in this subreddit.

In case someone wants to say that what we're doing is censorship, is it censorship to remove comments that purposely offend people? Is it censorship to remove a post or comment that has all to do about a different team and nothing about the Tempo? We have rules. We don't allow people to be mean to others. Nothing that is relevant to the Tempo should be here.

Bottom line: We do not have to deal with antagonizing Redditors. Not only will we remove comments and posts, but you will also be banned.

DISCUSSION Trans People Belong in Sports signs

194 Upvotes

Hi Tempo fans! We are the organizers of the Trans People Belong signs from last weekend's Liberty/Fever game. If you didn't see it, we passed out thousands of glossy 8.5x11 signs to fans outside the arena and raised over $3,600 for the Brooklyn Community Pride Center. Our signs were constantly making it on the jumbotron despite the camera people's best efforts! You can read more about this and other gameday actions different fans organized here: https://xtramagazine.com/power/politics/wnba-liberty-fever-trans-joy-284052

We thought fans in other cities might be able to use our work as a starting point, so we created a how-to guide that includes print-ready design files, distribution tips, and safety tactics. You can find it here: linktree.com/30for30liberty Please feel free to use anything you find useful, no need for attribution!

ARTICLE Short term pain for long term gain - breaking down the Tempo's loss to the Storm

Post image
4 Upvotes

A snippet from our most recent piece on tempo.basketball:

With the Tempo already eliminated from playoff consideration, the focus will be on the future for all remaining games and Tempo fans were treated to seeing what a team led by Kiki Rice could look like. Rice finished the night with a career-high 24 points and shot an efficient 6 of 12 from the field. If tonight’s game was any indication, Rice already has the ability to create her own shot, undying hustle, and energetic defense. The sky is the limit for her.

Admittedly, this was an ugly offensive game from the Tempo. Overall, they only shot 37% from the field and 15% from the 3-point line. Although the Storm didn’t shoot the ball well either early on but the difference came as the game went along. The Storm played more cohesive and knew what butters and what doesn’t butter their offensive bread. 

The Tempo, on the other hand, got into trouble when individual players were too impatient, or tried to make heroic plays on their own. On numerous times, this led to turnovers and easy Storm transition points. The Tempo also got into trouble when their offense stagnated and they settled for contested three-point shots.

With only six games left on the schedule, it is hard not to think about next season and, more importantly, the odds for the upcoming WNBA draft lottery. The Tempo currently have the second best lottery odds to land the number one pick in the draft who will undoubtedly be Juju Watkins – an absolutely generational talent who can change a franchise’s future. Even if the Tempo do not land the number one pick, the other two players slated to be selected next are Madison Booker and Hannah Hidalgo who would also be big gets for this Tempo team.
