I'll get back to this.
Nope.
It's something to get cautious about because this has never happened before in all 4 leagues of major American Sports. Sports culture is rife with sexism (exhibit a: Jazzfanz, & Spurstalk), and while there are scores of athletes in the NBA that would treat an attractive female coach with utmost respect, I'm sure there are many that wouldn't.
Fortunately, the best way to break this glass ceiling is to begin hiring female staff members. Unfortunately, it will be hardest for the trailblazers, or the first paid female staff members. Strictly because this hasn't happened before, and the fact that I want this to become a trend more so than a gimmick, is what begs caution from my behalf.

A female staff member can conceal abuse for the sake of keeping a team as distraction-free as possible. Jerry Sandusky won Assistant coach of the year, and national championships likely at the same time that he was abusing his athletes.

That reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when one of Jerry's comedian "friends" converts to Judaism. Jerry goes and talks to a Catholic priest to complain. The priest asked him if he was offended as a Jew, and Jerry responded, "No, I am offended as a comedian".
We should all be able to poke fun at each other, I didn't see any hate in Core4's statement. If anything it was a straight joke. I am not a racist, I truly have no feelings that one race is better than another (except for the Morlocks, they are on another level). I am, however, an anti-dentite. Dentists....who needs them.
Honestly, I'm not sure how much of a "stereotype" it is to state that many of the players in the WNBA are gay. (not that there is anything wrong with that). The Seattle Times estimated (based on player/personnel reporting) that over 40% of the WNBA are gay. So making a joke that many are is based on fact, not an unfair belief or stereotype. (such as saying all guys with a user name of fixed in their name have actually been neutered).
We will always have differences, if we can't poke fun in jest (and also appreciate our own and each others cultural differences), then what is the point?

wut the fark are you talking about?? Geez, I wonder about why your first response to all of this was to sound the alarm bell and then you drop a Sandusky?? Yeah, she's going to use her size and authority over the Spurs players in order to manipulate and abuse them.

again, braugh, you can make bad jokes all you want. For example, jokes like the one you told in this thread. I can also point out how stupid it was.

Becky will be fine. This a person who played for the Russian National Team when she knew she was going to get a lot of **** for it - that took guts. I doubt she'd keep her mouth shut for the sake of just getting along.
And as far as looks go - these are NBA Players. Becky's not a dog but she's not NBA caliber p-tang either. Chicks like her get sent home from the party at around 9pm.
Doubtful she's any type of distraction.

I feel really really happy for women breaking out in professional career or any part of social Prestige. This is no exception. I will keep watching her to the way of success and hopefully a HC job that will follow it.
Sure there will be talks' n all but when wasn't there if the issue was a woman?
If you undervalue her, then you never had a woman as a boss in your life.

Firstly, I enjoy you backtracking after initially stating that my point was 'lol'. Care to respond to the other post that I made?
Anywho, back to the response that you did make:

I won't bother reporting you, but some might. NAOS b sew edgy, avoiding that filta doe.
Either you seriously don't get what I'm saying (in which case, slowly re-read my posts) or you're simply trying to spin the convo away from the fact that I successfully made a distinction between professionalism and focus, providing you with an instance where professional behaviour is not always found within the teams of those that win championships. The exact type of behaviour is not the same, and it doesn't need to be. The point still stands. Sorry.

*Don't be sorry
*Don't pretend that your posts are so crystal clear
*I'm still loling
*the fine-grained distinction between professionalism and focus is yours... your nut to crack... I don't think we know enough about the internal workings of SAS's FO, the players as people, Becky as a person, etc. to make your distinction actionable. I think that's obvious.
*keep assuming if you want

...hey, I'm with you on this one! My Dad is rolling over in his grave right now! He couldn't believe or accept that woman should even "announce" a sporting event, let alone coach in one! Just like the LPGA the WNBA is loaded with "them."

a moment of self-awareness?

I know you think you're really smart, witty, and cutting, but Judas H. Priest, you're awful. Using your brilliant train of thought, the daycare on the corner shouldn't be worried that someone who enjoys watching kiddy porn just moved in next door. "After all, you basically don't know anything about them as people.... you're just basing this off some 'universal law of the sexes'. In other words, it's lol." In other words, you're a moron.

I'm willing to bet the only thing he's sorry about is getting into a discussion with you. It's like arguing gay rights with BeanDowns, Craig1221, and kkkarolina all at the same time, only worse; at least those three know they're stupid.
As far as I can see, you're the only person who didn't get it. Keep back peddling, tool belt.
Reflection again?
In short, he answered your idiotic question with concise Pwnage, and your mini-E-peen can't stand the idea of losing face to people that you claim are stupid and beneath you, yet you constantly seek their satisfaction and validation. I didn't even need my high school education to figure that one out.
I assume you're pretty much worthless. How refreshing.

If her and Parker are really a couple....it's kind of weird. That dynamic is weird in any job.
