Minnesota Lynx slam Luka Doncic on Twitter for not supporting the WNBA

[madness]

Dallas Mavericks star and NBA Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic appears to be pulling for Dallas Wings rookie Arike Ogunbowale to win the same award this summer. Another team in the league, though, isn’t buying his support. Doncic appeared in a video on the Wings’ Twitter account on Wednesday, wishing Ogunbowale luck in her own Rookie of the Year bid while holding up her jersey in the Mavericks’ weight room.


“What’s up Arike. I know you’re having a great season, so just keep pushing,” Doncic said. “I know you’re going to be the Rookie of the Year, so the best of luck to you.”

Ogunbowale has had a tremendous season this summer, averaging 18.1 points and three assists per game in Dallas. The former Notre Dame star’s 18.1 points per game is third best in the league in general, too, behind only Brittney Griner and Elena Delle Donne.
Without a doubt, she’s made a strong case to take home the coveted award.
Just a few hours later, though, the Minnesota Lynx called Doncic out.



The Lynx didn’t provide any proof with their claim that Doncic hasn’t been to a Wings game, though that issue has been present in Dallas in recent years. Wings star Skylar Diggins-Smith even called out Mavericks owner Mark Cuban last year for never having attended one of their games.
And, for what it’s worth, the Wings replied to their tweet calling that claim “false.”
Dallas sportswriter Brice Paterik was one of many who responded to the Lynx’s tweet, calling it a bad look.
Minnesota, though, didn’t care.

I had one friend who told me WNBA players should get paid the same as NBA players since they perform the same job

I asked her if she had ever even attended or watched a WNBA game and she just kept saying "that's not the point"

[Verbal Kint]

WNBA stays trying to shame people into liking/supporting them. At this point their more of a social movement than an entertainment product.
