WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson were each suspended a record 7 games for a fistfight that landed them in jail last month.
Griner and Johnson got “married” in Phoenix last week — two weeks after their arrest for a domestic violence incident at a Phoenix home they purchased together.
Griner told authorities the couple fought “for days” over pressures related to their home purchase and their upcoming gay wedding.
In addition to the suspensions, the ladies must undergo individual counseling and mental health evaluations.
The WNBA probably saw this wedding photo of Johnson biting Griner. The photo reveals Johnson’s unresolved anger, sexual aggression and resentment.
Johnson may not even be aware of the seething anger she feels on a subconscious level. But her anger will likely manifest itself later, probably in the form of an emotional outburst that will end in violence.
In issuing the record suspensions, the WNBA reaffirmed its commitment to ending domestic violence among lesbians in the 19-year-old league.
From Yahoo Sports:
WNBA President Laurel Richie said the league “takes all acts of violence extremely seriously” in handing down a suspension that represents more than one-fifth of the 34-game regular season. Richie called the players’ actions “unacceptable.”
“Brittney and Glory’s conduct is detrimental to the best interests of the WNBA and violates applicable law,” Richie said in a statement. “We also understand that people make mistakes, and that education and training are as important as imposing discipline.”
The WNBA said the two All-Stars must undergo individual counseling. If either fails to comply with that condition or those by the court, the league says it can revisit the case.
“It is our strong belief that violence has absolutely no place in society, in sports or in this league,” Richie said. “As president, it is my responsibility to protect the league and uphold its values.”
The players were arrested April 22 on suspicion of assault after they fought in a home they recently bought. Griner pled guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and entered a diversion program. The assault charge was dismissed. She must attend 26 weeks of domestic violence counseling. All charges will be dismissed if she completes counseling. Johnson’s case was transferred to county court and is still pending.

Hotfangas, I was about to type the same thing

Came in to see if night crew was present.
A basketball post huh?
Steph Curry with that shot just now from one end of court to other…at the end of the 3rd? Will now be played from now til end of playoffs on SC. On repeat.
Later for these dykes.
Turn up Blanche!
Dear lawd, the blog comes to you to ask for a protective coating on Blanche liver during her birthday turnup this week!!
enjoy Blanche 
Dub, I saw the shot too
I’m restless knowing that I have to get up super early tomorrow 
7 games? omg. the ladies, dont make nearly as much $$$ as the men, so this is going to put a dent in their pockets. I’d be surprised if either of them even clears half a mil a year. I think this is drastic.
Who cheated on who?…that’s the only reason lesbians start throwing fists at each other….
Cosign @Point. Here is a tidbit on how drastic it is.
NyTimes:
The W.N.B.A. season is only 34 games long, so the suspensions are for 21 percent of it, the equivalent of a 17-game suspension in the N.B.A. Griner plays for the Phoenix Mercury and Johnson for the Tulsa Shock. They will not miss any of the games they are scheduled to play against each other.

Why not just marry a real man instead of a female that looks like one?
@Jersey I will never understand that. It’s so azz backwards

Because then her need to compete with or remove her mother so she can possess or “marry” her father will never be resolved. Both of these women are perfect examples of children whose psychosexual development were arrested in the Electra Complex stage. The girl who is still fixated on her father (because he was absent, abusive, or emotionally unavailable) will date lesbians who remind her of her father. And the girl who is fixated on her mother (because she was absent, abusive, or emotionally unavailable) will date women who remind her of her mother. Their psychosexual needs will never be met which leads to anxiety, anger and depression. This is why lesbian relationships are so extremely volatile and violent.

….these prancing menz in d’orange tights 
Now if you wanna talk about TRAUMA!!!! Clearly, these boys and their antics send a desperate cry for help they’ve been needing for a long time
Hey Sandra!
Hey errbody!
@ Nancy: Those prancing boys are so psychologically and emotionally damaged. I see nothing entertaining about exploiting mental illness. Shame on Oxygen Network.
Listen…. Well first hello errbody.
Someone else has come up to me about this mayo treatment. I’m bout to try this on my child hair…even though I don’t know if I’m doing it right. Between y’all and them I have given in
Sandra, thanks.
Sidebar: I miss you on Twitter.
Happy Saturday Roses
Apparently dude who shot at killerman is white. Said he meant to do more than wound him.
snail extract does WONDERS for hair; makes it sooo very silky and soft! I get 5 oz on eeee**y for $7.95 which includes shipping
but I also use moxi bling on it once I massage the snail extract into my hair and brush it
@Sandrita,
Seaux are all members of the gbltq community suffereing from some type of deficit in their psychosocial development? What about persons who started out straight, but then made the crossover (think Cheryl Swoopes). Have peepa like this had some sort of maladaptive experience in their childhood as well?
@Blanche,
Good to see your font.
@Topic,
She truly does look like (and seems to have swag) like a man. I bet my last wooden nickel that she could give a class on male etiquette. I wonder if she feels or experiences conflict (with herself or he partner) when she has her monthly cycle. Serious question.
Enjoy your weekend roses. Will be checking periodically for new commentary.
I’m shocked Britney isnt trans…clearly a hormonal imbalance there.
Anyway…I’m here…at the hospital. Blanche 6 done managed to fall off the slippery back porch and possibly fractured her arm
then she’s jaundice so they wanna do labs 
Here’s my new email y’all blanchedthegoldengirl1 at hotmail dot com
Hey unshake
hit me on the email address above. I’ll get you my real one after that. I can’t put it on the blog. Contains my real name.
@Sandra, I agree – they are being exploited and it’s sad.
Hang in there Blanche
for Blanche6 
yeah I watch one episode of the prancing dancers and that was too much. Although I’m same sex oriented, I’m quite put off by women who dress as men – act as such. I’m equally put off my men dressing and acting as a woman. I don’t judge any of them, but it’s a bit much. One episode was more than enough for me. I didn’t stone them or judge them, but yeah, I’m not prepared to watch rupaul’s drag race, is it a man or woman on Maury, or the prancing guys.
I heard them say thanks to a tweet from Shaq, that’s how this all started. My God, what did that tweet say?
Happy Janet Jackson’s Birthday *tips hat and walks out*
@point, I’m with you… I don’t judge these boys; I genuinely feel sorry for them. I don’t enjoy ru paul’s show either, but from what little I’ve seen of it, those ‘participants’ are more mature/aware than those YOUNG members of the prancers.
hey Gelly!
how dem babies? 
I hate plays. Hate. Them.
The things we do for our friends :eyeroll:

@WASTE: I missed the (non) awards. LOOKS like you go the juice now
I know nothing of what you speak of 
FOH if we are going to feel sorry for anybody how about his wife and kids???? So folks 
at her saying he wasn’t claiming his wife and he was out in them streets with Malika claiming her 
But apparently Mena says she knew them and he wand her had been married 13 years…kids.. Even if I do not think she is 100% in the right (her hoeness has not been deleted… DJ Envy anyone?) in her life I don’t see how anyone can be like F his wife if he didn’t care then nobody else should and keep posting malika and them like it was a major loss to them 
Folks silly.
I did see on IG about French’s artist/homey dying. Khloe and Malika were post these RIP posts. Nothing bad to me. Then I saw Erica Mena went under the gossip site that posted Malika’s and was like
Also we need to talk about how Kylie and Kendall got their asses booed last night and Kanye did too
@Dub
Now I saw this clip off that. And then a screen shot of a tv screen that was full of smoke and fire that said Kanye’s performance. 
I mean ..ther comes a point when even as an artist you take ish too far. I think/thought Kim/Ye were a perfect match due to their vanity and delusions of grandeur. Now they are just sabotaging themselves and each other but not speaking up. Ye should have been like a book about selfies Kim? REALLLY? :stop: AND she should have been like Ye how are you going to do a show on tv nobody can see and hear 
Its my birthday :woot:

@Lurk
who hid in the restaurants freezer 
Word. 9 dead 18 shot/wounded. Broad DAYLIGHT. They were interviewing people in the family eatery next door
I tried bringing it up a few times this morning!
These white folks are not here for it
@Lurk….what makes it even worse is that the cops were there because they had a “feeling” something was going to happen….but they didn’t step in while they were fighting….only when they started shooting. This would gave been solo different if it was us. The title of the story would have been different…black biker gangs would have been included
Morning all
The police were like the restaurant wanted them there, nothing we could do about it. Oh okay.
Good morning folks!
Happy Birthday Blanche!!!
@Time I’m MAKING my co-workers be here for it, “Did you hear about the Snakes and the Jets out there in Texas re-enacting South West Side story and shyt?!”
