In part one of a four-part episode, Candice starts the discussion on her WNBA career. Draft night, moving to Minnesota and the start of her WNBA career highlight part one of this four part WNBA episode.
She was very pleasant, open and honest. You would think the WNBA would have taken a stance against bullying. Instead they tried to make it sound like it was b.s. and not even possible. Great interview, wonderful human being, and very informative.
Better late than never. I've just learned about your journey and hope and pray you're well. 🙏🏿 While most people speak up when they can hide behind others, you spoke real truth during a time when it was totally suicidal. Hang in there and know that you are greatly appreciated. ☝🏾
I think this is the reason Gabby Marshall didn't go pro. Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin knew what they were getting into as well, thanks to Candice's courage in coming forward.
she really saying that they have no value/ are unnecessary " products " because the are. The wnba only exist because the NBA has to keep them to satisfy social groups. They dont generate revenue as a league they EAT revenue. And she telling us that how they treated her and she peeped it. Its just business at the end of day tho
Pretty sure the women's soccer league is the same. Most are t-birds, gay, lesbian whatever they want to call it nowadays. So what's the problem if majority of them are gay? Well, imagine your little girl aspires to be one day in this league and she's straight. What will you tell her, you sure will get your ass kicked in these leagues unless you change and be gay?
Wait, did she say her mom and her coach were late and didn’t see her get drafted. On draft day?! Wow ! If that does not tell you how uninterested people are in this what can? Yo own momma was late!
She is obviously very smart and her personal experiences on becoming a pro and as a player in the WNBA are interesting to listen to. But...the bottom line I get from all of this is that being a professional basketball player in the WNBA was probably not for her. Basketball took her very very far......she just met up with a bunch of hurdles during her time as an athlete...in fact, the way she talks in this interview...it's with a lot of deep disappointment...even the day she gets drafted...everything in retrospect is miserable for her....Minnesota, the accommodations, the money, her 'devaluation' as an athlete. Unfortunately...everyone in the WNBA goes through the same thing....I would venture to say that the majority in the league now really love and feel privileged to be a professional basketball player...and like everything else hopefully your talent and accomplishments will take you to the top of the sport. And the accommodations and the money improve. If she wasn't that into being a pro and all that it involves....and I am sure that she had / has many options in her life...that's OK. But I am confused? Where is the part about the Lesbian bullying? Why did the guy ask about the 'hair and makeup' on draft day? Is he concerned that this was sexist? It's TV...its nice that the draftees got dolled up. Straight or Lesbian. Why are the dead-enders so bothered by these 'revelations' of Wiggins? How does this impact your life?
The Blessing of the Lord is not upon a sinful lifestyle! When people reject righteousness, they open themselves up to unrighteousness. Every person will stand before God and give account of their actions! God being the righteous Judge! God’s way is the only right way! Sexual immorality is against the will of God!
God is good! The Bible is the Word and will of God for our lives! Males and Females are a part of God’s creation! The Bible gives the role of a male and female! Also what a biblical marriage is according to the Word of God! Jesus is the Way to have a relationship with God our Heavenly Father! We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God! Jesus is our Lord and Savior!
She loves basketball. But hasn't tried to wife up an NBA PLAYER. WHEN SHOULD MEN AND WOMEN STOP DATING FOR FUN? AND START DATING FOR MARRIED AND FAMILY?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10-Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
I respect the way she feels and the way she filters her situation but I don't understand her lack of ability to adjust and to make that opportunity turn into multiple opportunities to me sounds like she thinks like a victim when with that kinda exposure she could have created some special things for herself but she seen herself as a victim
I think the WNBA is stupid and would never watch but if the league had more intelligent and down to earth players like Candice I would watch for sure. Oh and she’s super pretty also!
Candace Parker is more beautiful, not gay, with a 8 year old daughter. Not to mention was ranked in the top 100 most beautiful women in the world, who is also the best basketball player in the world.
@@juliansearcie1758 it’s actually 80% straight. But why do you care those women wouldn’t want a narrow mind person like you that looks down on people who are gay
$50,000 in the WNBA compared to $Millions in the NBA?? That speaks volumes ...this league may not last much longer. Any business that have losses will usually close. In Ohio, JC Penny's, The Anderson's and I hear even Lowe's Home Improvement is going down...all because of LOSSES.
Funny how women complaining about equal wages.. and you will never hear an a wnba athlete complain about it and you know what!? Because their business is flopping.. Networks pay out based on potential and buzz for product. Early you had your buzz.. now everything else was based on potential and its been downhill ever since.
"Sometimes it snows in April... sometimes it's feels so bad... So bad... Sometimes I wish that life was never ending... All good things they say never last... LOVE isn't LOVE... 'til it's... Had " Thank You
dra631 She was in a car accident when she was a little kid. The injury left a permanent scar on the left side of her face. She's still attractive, though.
OK looking past the weave. I've gave up its not going anywhere. Lucky Koreans. Please someone with some money and power. Get in touch with this beautiful articulated Black Woman. And get her on a speaking tour around the country and particularly in the inner cities. My God she needs too talk to these young Black girls and save them from some of those horrible mothers. I'm speaking from experience, I work in social services and I see the madness daily. I never run up on any Black female on the hood streets like her. Please get her out there!!!!!!
Because not all black people are from the hood. So you probably wouldn't see someone like her in social services. Stop acting like you know all black people. We come from all walks of life just like other people...
98% lesbian league.? duhh. lol that's why they get no real tv time. or social media recognition.and very less pay. smh. i wanted to play wnba. im also a lesbian.LOL
Moving thru the corridors of time and not the clock. Where and when The NBA Is a all gay men league and the the three point shot has been taken out of the game. Basketball is a spiritual game. MJ used to say basketball is life. I couldn't agree with him more. This culture has made insanity a sane way of life. Everything and everyone is required to "go crazy " That's a shame and even the earth has chosen to fight against the insanity. She has chosen to accept her death for the benefit of a safer universe.
If you assume a landfill will smell like trash, and you go to one and you smell trash... Did you going in with a negative mindframe change the fact that the landfill smelt like trash?..... Exactly
Honestly, more than any "gay" issues she faced, it seems more like she found out she was good, but that d ont mean shit if you don't make the right moves business wise at the right time. All this she'll make a good wife and all these homophobia comments are redundant to the fact that she's pressing towards the gay agenda excuse, when really she got into a business that she wasn't cut out for.
I dont agree. I think she would have played better if she was embraced as a teammate and not made to feel like an other. Not being socially accepted will affect your abilities.
