Atlanta venue conflicts impact WNBA Finals
They need to let the Atlanta Dream play somewhere else. 3,500 seats? That’s a junior college game, not a WNBA Finals game.”

Not among your enemies, who will hate you no matter what, but among your supporters, like me, who get pained when the hyperbolic attacks turn out to be true,
I don't have knowledge of the details of Fox's action, yet I doubt that there's been an order from up top to ignore it. I suspect it's instead a product of fear and inaction by middle management. Whatever the reason, though, it's an increasing pattern I've seen at the network.”
