The Dallas Morning News' Kevin Sherrington on the Wings shutting down his question about Azzi Fudd's relationship with Paige Bueckers.
(via @dallasnews)

"The WNBA players want to be treated like grown women, yet we're treating them like little girls.... STOP IT!"
– @EmmanuelAcho GOES OFF about the Dallas Wings' PR team stopping Azzi Fudd from answering questions about her relationship with teammate Paige Bueckers
English
@AshNicoleMoss The answer to the question has been answered for years. The journalist was trying to be a traffic hoe.
English
it’s weird and gossipy as hell that people keep asking her about Paige, posting about her and Paige. Paige already got drafted. they’re not conjoined twins.

A reporter asked Azzi Fudd about her relationship with Paige Bueckers, but the Wings' media team said they won't be commenting on their players' personal lives.

@GrantAfseth @MavsFilmRoom The state of journalism is a mess. Thank you for calling it out.

For whatever it's worth, just my two cents... dallashoopsjournal.com/p/azzi-fudd-da…
English
Concerning the Azzi question from the reporter, as someone who, until recently, worked in journalism for more than a decade after my teaching career, I have to say it would almost be a dereliction of duty for a true journalist not to ask the question. It is Azzi’s right not to answer, of course, but someone swooping in like she’s a child was not the way to go. To those saying that it’s no one’s business who someone dates, I may be inclined to agree 1) if they were not teammates (which is why they shouldn’t be) and 2) if the league didn’t pride itself (no pun intended) on flaunting these things before the public at every opportunity.
English
@sagesteele Yeah, its a fair question if you are a journalist who has never actually watched them play together.
English
It’s a FAIR QUESTION! If 2 NBA players on the same team were dating, do you actually think media wouldn’t ask abt how their relationship could affect the team dynamic? Gimme a break. No need to coddle them. They’re professional athletes..who say they want equal treatment, right?!

@AnnieCostabile No, the issue is the Journalist doesn’t even watch hoops. Because if they did, they already have their answer.
They were engagement farming.
English
I understand the efforts from Dallas Wings PR to mitigate a potentially uneasy line of questions/storyline. However, by not allowing Azzi to answer the question this only makes it a bigger story.

@sportingnews Why are we letting journalists who dont watch hoops into these pressers?

BRB, just doing a spot of online shopping.
Shoutout to Mitchell & Ness and the WNBA for bringing back some iconic jerseys, including @laurenej15's 2007 Seattle Storm MVP kit.

@IndianaFever Indiana fans are going to be beefing with each other 🤣

@jay_rashod @Kameron_Hay I wouldn’t bother, man. You are trying to reason with people who don’t really watch hoops like that.
English
@Kameron_Hay How? Azzi gets to play with her old teammate that she won a championship with in 2025 brah ?
