Women support women, amirite? Well?

So, this WNBA player was traded because she dared to become pregnant in the offseason. She even has a husband. I checked. Anyway, you’d think that a league about women and for women might support women. But no.

The coach berated her for getting pregnant in the offseason, saying it showed a lack of commitment to the team. To be clear, this player never even missed a game.

The WNBA is always yelling at us to support women but then they don’t. All of this young woman’s teammates announced their support of the coach, not the pregnant player.

Yahoo: Dearica Hamby has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the WNBA and the Las Vegas Aces, alleging the two organizations unlawfully discriminated and retaliated against her. Hamby was traded by the Aces in 2022, soon after announcing she was pregnant with her second child.

The lawsuit, which was filed Monday, alleges the WNBA, the Aces and Hammon violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which, among other things, protects employees from discrimination based on sex. Additionally, Hamby alleges in the lawsuit, the Aces and Hammon retaliated against her for going public with the circumstances surrounding her trade.

As a result, the lawsuit states, Hamby suffered emotional and financial damage and is entitled to compensation. Hamby is asking for compensation that will cover the economic losses of the ordeal, as well as punitive damages.

In a statement, Hamby’s lawyer accused the Aces of having Hamby “exiled” and accused the WNBA of letting the Aces get “a light tap on the wrist” as punishment.
