The Aces Are being SUED By Their Former All Star Player... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is ready to take over the WNBA. In this video we are going to be talking about the WNBA. THe league is growing with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Steward and A'Ja Wilson who have all been incredible
BBALL Daily:
THe basketball youtube channel of the well known NBA 2k youtuber DBG. This channel is ran by a former Irish international and former Irish Superleague basketball player who also has won multiple national titles as a coach at both the high school and collegiate level in Ireland. this channel will talk about nba news, nba stories as well as basketball news from all over the world
"Which is fine if you win." Is the key phrase. The players wouldn't be backing Becky if she didn't help them win games no matter how horrible the process is
Yep. Signs of a toxic workplace. No psychological safety.
Can you imagine the backlash is a mens league fired or garaged a women’s coach because she got pregnant
Best part about all this is the fact people like malika Andrew’s won’t talk about this BUT any chance she gets would talk about a man if he was in the same situation . We still refuse to hold women accountable cause this won’t make any huge headlines
It wouldn’t have been just Becky Hammon. The GM would have been in charge of all of it.
Becky holds their jobs they can't say how they feel.
@@MrMarkx7 Geezus, you could tell that by the way Kelsey Plum fumbled. I don't like Becky Hammon's facial because she has always looked mean to me.
Becky Hammon is the worst. The players that are okay with a coach treating a player like that is gross.
I hear ya!!! I know A'ja Wilson is a great player, BUT as an athlete overall with how she carries herself & speaks abt others, I'm just turned off!!! Disappointed with Candace Parker's response in this as well!
@@tammyboon6259 Kelsey Plum was the only one who tried, but hard enough? Not sure yet. I agree with all else you said 👊.
@@ncwellsnwYea, it's hard to make out what KP meant w/ her words?!?! Tbh, I'm not sure what to make her as an individual, b/c it's difficult to know how much she's influenced by or is a follower of particularly A'ja Wilson or of the WNBA?! But character matters! At least all the crap is now being exposed due to all the eyes 👀👀👀 being on the league!
@@tammyboon6259 Gosh. So true, all of it. It's going to be crazy to see where this lawsuit goes, that's for sure. Hopefully it'll lead to the dismissal of Coach Hammon as she obviously violated her obligations to the player. That is plain and simple to me.
95% of those WNBA - female - players and coaches are alien to the very notion of being pregnant. No wonder they never saw this coming, nor don't know how to react.
I watched the Ben Daniels video and he talked about it and showed the legal paperwork allegations with everything but the only punishment that was given to Becky Hammond was a two game suspension. Check it out it goes into detail on the allegations against the Aces, Becky Hammond and the WNBA
Meanwhile, one team in NFL gave a 2yr contract with 0 salary to one of their former player just to maintain his insurance since he had a mental health issue (on treatment).
An MLB team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, did the same for a former player. They’ve done it for the last several years.
Some of those ladies watched a player get railroaded, so they knew it could happen to them. Not saying it's the right choice, but it speaks to the toxicity that has turned off fans for years.
The thing that gets me is you would not be allowed to raise the questions that she did in a regular corporation so I would be inclined to think that an organization that is pro women like the WNBA would be even more aware of litigious questions surrounding privacy and family planning. I guess I was wrong and that the teams will learn the hard way what not to raise when privacy and family planning is concerned.
Nah they just not that good lol that’s why fans been turned off . Well they good but it’s a massive decline from the entertainment in the NBA
These players need to be careful about what they say about this case. This truly was wrong what Hammond did, and management
Hammond gives me kim mulkey vibes. Great coach but she bends the rules a lot and is too slippery to get caught.
Every coach got skeletons…now there’s more eyes on the league and ppl are going to dig smmfh. It’s some crazy stuff out there about some of these coaches cuz the women were under the radar… now they are too popular to ignore. It’s about to get nasty unless they get a grip on this. Smmfh. Hammond is too legendary to go out like this. Damn. I hope she beats this cuz if not, it’ll open Pandora’s box
The law is the law. If Becky is guilty then I hope she and the WNBA pay for what they did. It sounds like the league washed it up. They owe her money and I hope they pay for what they did.
The W has a real CHARACTER issue among some leaders and players. The players support her bc she determines their playing time. It's corrupt. I'm a woman/ mom. Hard no.
Exactly!!!!! That's what SO off-putting!!!!
If I were a basketball player, I would never play for the Aces or Becky H.
Candace Parker may have a completely different view now she is not playing for the Aces. Also regarding the players it's one thing to speak in an interview, quite another to be deposed and commit perjury. These players if this is found to be true will be ostracised by everyone else.
Tension and unfair treatment like this happens more often now when a female athlete gets pregnant and still wants to maintain their professional athletic career. Previously, female athletes got pregnant, then retired from professional play. Something similar also happens in regular corporate jobs, too, for women.
It’s good there is a lawsuit, as it will force the growing W to properly address this in each team.
As Bette Davis said: "What a dump". The players didn't want to get traded and harassed.
@@danieltravis9266 OMGosh, lol. I was so upset and getting worked up and then I came across this gem of a comment. Thank you Sir!
Kate Martin should get out of dodge.. Hammon fired and Commissioner fired. she has no clue about what she is doing, or the HR department have no clue. fire them too. they need professionals.
I think she likes girls. She is less likely to run into a ‘desire to be pregnant’ scenario since her partner can have the baby. So maybe she would have less interest to take a strong stand for this issue.
I can’t believe that they treated D that way with all the hard work she put in! Players need to stick together WTF?
Women not supporting other women… shocker.. This is why this rookie class is better than rest.
Hammon comes across as likeable but if yu a follow her career ya start to realize there's some dirtiness to her.
Tell us the specifics, please.
That’s more like your underwear
@@jaylucas8352omg😂😂😂😂
@@geminiascension7018 did Becky because she didn't make the Olympic team go and play for Russia is this the same woman
@@sweetsmcarthy8961Trying to figure out your question?!?! I think u were referring to & asking if Becky was Brittany Griner?! Different player entirely.
Seems ro me that there are a whole lot of detestable people in the WNBA. Now I know whybthe league was where it was before CC.
The league was still growing before Caitlin Clark.
Aces did the right thing! Just ditch the chick and move on! You can be cut or traded at any time!
This is a minor league stepping up into the spotlight and all the dirty is starting to show. I hope Hammon is gone she always comes off as trash to me and super unprofessional.
Pro Becky Hammond. Some of these players might be eating their words.
That response from the Aces is so amateurish. It does not read like it was written by a lawyer, but more like a PR agent. Only the law firm hired by Aces to defend it, should make any public statements about this lawsuit. Also, I understand the players want to please their coach, but they are ill advised in making any public comments about this lawsuit. They may very well be called as witnesses. Once again, the WNBA demonstrates unprofessional, and just plain stupid behavior.
That response was before the lawsuit. So was a PR response
Oh yes, she's unbelievable alright. oMG the sparks play the Aces again in mere days. That will be a sight to see.
Hammon is NOT getting fired. She works for Mark Davis, son of Al Davis, enough said.
Hammon doesn't do trades, the Ace's GM does. Hammon could say all day long that she wants to trade Hamby, due to her pregnancy, it doesn't mean anything in the eyes of the law. Hamby would have to PROVE that the GM traded her because of her pregnancy. Further, Hamby would have to prove that the trade itself is a form of revenge. Employers are allowed to make reasonable accommodations when dealing with pregnancy. Clearly, the Aces were concerned that Hamby would not be able to get into "game shape" before the start of the season. Trading Hamby to a franchise of her choice or a team that is not reasonably contending for a championship, would be an reasonable accommodation.
The sanctions placed against Hammon and the Aces are for the violation of league rules and policy, not of Federal or State laws.
"We're for Becky... We're gonna play for her no matter what." ~A'ja Wilson. Remember this the next time someone says she should be the "face of the league."
Liberty get fined a Million for using flights and Aces 2 games for this. I know which is worst. Wnba comes off very bad here.
Really, what else are current Aces players going to say, even if they agree with Hamby? They don't want to jeopardize their spots on the roster.
Hey Mic where is ESPN comments to this..nothing
Classic WNBA toxicity
If the WNBA is so toxic then why are you being so nosey probably watching every single video concerning this league? Lol. You hypocrites make me laugh.
Have you seriously never heard about the concept of gossip or drama😂
@@KarlaUsman this might be the stupidest possible response I’ve ever read. Me being a fan of a league and watching videos somehow in your mind is the same as the women of this league harassing and bullying some of their peers ???
@@justicebinder6544Well maybe I just felt that your stupid response deserved another stupid response. It is just so laughable to me how people like you keep using all of these negative adjectives to describe the WNBA yet seem to remain front and center to catch the latest scoop. As I said before you guys are just a bunch of hypocrites.
Seems like in an otherwise identical situation, if her pregnancy occurred via a turkey baster, it would have been a non-issue.
Not only did Dearica subject her coach and teammates to the fact that she's straight, but then pregnant too?
How much is a gals' gal supposed to take?
What are you waffling about?
I'm for Hanby! (Fire Christie Sides)
It's sounded like a upper management thing I don't think Becky has that control of things like that she may have an opinion but she's not passing out contracts
Some of the comments Becky Hammon made to Hamby contributed to the hostile environment she faced.
What I don’t understand about the WNBA what is going on with this Kumbaya BS. you’re there to do a job not be friends with everybody. Becky act like she’s trying to be friends or homegirl with KP and Asia to meet that is gross start with the Kumbaya crap
Not defending Becky but this is usually how female athletes pregnancies get dealt with, with a very negative reaction because it interferes with their job at their prime. That being said when the aces are signing an athlete and expecting her to play and in the middle of her contract she decides to go through 2 pregnancies they have a reason to be mad. But with all of that said something much bigger probably was going behind the scenes with team that not one said anything in defense of hamby. Clearly neither side is happy with the other so it was probably for the best.
But she never missed a game.
@@xero9329 but clearly there were issues with her not communicating with them about it. I don’t think the main issues isn’t just whether she could miss a game which they wouldn’t know until later on because it sounds like these conversations happened in the middle of her pregnancy. And whether or not she would be able to perform and play the way they expect her to Pregnancy changes your body let alone 2. They’re paying her to do a job and she possibly put her ability to do that job well at risk. Again in general it’s very frowned upon female athletes to get pregnant in the middle of their career because it will affect their performance in some of way so she’s not in a unique situation. I don’t know what her performance or attitude looked like the last 9 years but clearly her teammates not having her back during this says there’s more to the story then just her pregnancies.
@@S-E-P-96 Fever's Samuelson good example of it taking a while to get back into Pro level condition.
@@markyg236 exactly you can’t predict how you’re going to be after something like pregnancy. I understand there’s this balance they have to find of being able to have kids and be athletes but unfortunately they can’t have it all at once.
Send in the IRS they'll sort out the under the table payments. In fact the lawsuit may make it happen anyway.
Do you think this had anything to do with Candace Parker's retirement? That surprised me.
Fired EVERYONE !!!!! Las Vegas Canceled
Getting Buy in from your team isn’t going to matter when this goes to the courts!! I’d say go against the grain here because you don’t wanna go down with the sinking ship if you had anything to do with it
The question is should you be allowed to trade someone because you think they're going to be a worse player after they've given birth. As long as both teams know that the player is pregnant and they are happy with a trade I don't see a problem with it personally in the future but maybe it's unethical. Not sure personally.
We need more info it might not been Becky's call also about school and housing might have happened when she was traded and was a team policy
I'm not familiar with the bylaws of the WNBA. Is it illegal to trade a pregnant player? I thought the penalties and suspension had to do with promises made above and beyond salary
Plum is saying that that no one was happy with the verdict of the investigation (Becky's suspension and fine). That the leadership of the investigation team was bad along with the process. She's basically in support of Becky.
They are probably going to have to make the argument that Hamby is lying. Any other response will make them look terrible.
Considering that the WNBA had their own investigation and took picks from Vegas and suspended Hammon it's very unlikely
The players shouldn't respond at all. Remember CK. Its not worth it.
It’s funny but I agree with Hammon on this one. A professional does not get pregnant and miss a season. It’s so disrespectful to the team and the fans. Napheesa Collier essentially ruined Minnesota’s season when she had a baby and sat out. The WNBA should be an exception to normal workplace rules where the loss of an employee during pregnancy leave is not massively detrimental to the organization. And it shows a real lack of professionalism and disrespect for one’s teammates to get pregnant and miss a season. Props for Derica to not miss any games and play well. But it’s not right to miss an entire season.
But Hamby didn’t miss a season with he pregnancy. She had the baby in the off-season.
I don't think you can say no to women having babies, but if a pregnancy causes missing part or all of a season, I think it would be fair that a player's salary be reduced to some minimum level during the duration of their leave (so some support is there, but the consequences are not all on the team). It's sort of the same as a player having elective surgery and missing playing time. It's their decision, but why should a team have to live without their services and still pay in full.
@@francesw.6774comparing unplanned pregnancy to elective surgery?! Unless you’re saying she should be forced to have an abortion… it’s not like Hamby can say okay, I won’t be pregnant.
Of course a coach & teammates can be & feel deeply disappointed & frustrated, BUT it is still totally unethical as a business, a workplace to put this in a contract of an employee!!
@@francesw.6774 For me it’s mostly about the impact on her teammates. It’s an interesting issue that has outsized impact in team sports. It feels pretty selfish and disrespectful. I’m putting my interests above the team’s. And it can’t help with the marketing of the sport for key players to just miss entire seasons.
Of course they back Hammond, they’re the players who bullied and intimidated her! 🙄
I think these girls will have a whole new staff soon.
Can't lie now players will turn on her ..to protect themselves ...the little longevity of career some have left.....hope Candice Wiggins does same
Candice Wiggins? or Skylar Diggins? or both maybe?
@@markyg236 you know you're probably right the Wiggins got it big time in the locker room but just rolled with it knowing what it was like in those days now with the talent pool on the rise you'll be purged out of the league if you speak or judge about religion or sexuality like no more locker room bullying not speaking to another player moving when they sit beside you coach playing head games to the bench not giving you minutes not giving you time not listening to you Buck Wiggins got it on the court too Parker backed up the physical bullying on the court but anyway it's got to come to an end there's actually a lot of players out there that could play WNBA the mental aspect of your locker room
@@sweetsmcarthy8961 Yup. kinda sad, but hoping that those who need to find a way to get their heads out of their behinds.
Think people need to step back and see what facts actually come out. Things might not be as they seem.
Unaidedfoot i agree the players in the past took this mess cause no one care about this league scare the league will shut down i hate to say this CC has open doors for these women cause people are now watching and the nba can't cover this up with scared tactics behind close doors
Everybody saying Becky was wrong the players back her up and there’s a lot closer to the situation than anyone, all we hearing is one side of the story and the players clearly said the WNBA didn’t do a thorough investigation into the situation
There's definitely a pattern on how the WNBA treats certain players. I think Skye Diggins received the same treatment. Gabby Williams was iced and forces out of the league as well. What the WNBA doesn't realize is there are more eyes on the league and some of this bush league more treatment needs to stop.
The nba doesn't even have half as many issues as the wnba. They support their stars. And the corruption is kept out of the spotlight.
The only thing we want from the aces is for them to LOSE to the great CC22!!🇺🇸
Okay, so a straight pkayer gets pregnant and is traded because of it? That only makes sense if she was traded because of HOW she conceived. So she was punished for not divorcing her man and joining the cult. Betcha serious money CP was the leader here. They did it to her too.
Some guy who does an Outkick show on the tube called WNBA players 'angry less be uns". Seems appropriate after this revelation and the treatment of CC. They want their own league and no one who does not dine at the Y is welcome. That appears to be from the current WNBA commish, coaches, owners, and players.
When a situation starts affecting their money.... They will do something about it. Like fire Hammon.
Kelsey can’t even enjoy her gold metal 😂
Medal 🏅
Good
They show no support for Hamby. Don’t get pregnant.
There you go again women supporting women ?????
Corruption and lies.
Becky Hammond the Karen of the wnba
Not for nothing, even the pill is *not* 100% effective
Ajay Wilson has a voice DEEPER than mine! #DAMN
She's a 6'4" woman. You expect her to sound like mini mouse? 😂
@@joketsu100😂 vocal cords have nothing to do with height😂
. She's a female you expect her voice to be softer. Vocal cords have nothing to do with height
Rebecca Lobo I'd the same height. Her voice is not deep.
Despicable players for not supporting a teammate that helped them win. But we have to remember that Mick has a European world view so his sense of outrage isn't representative of typical Americans. The mindset is different in the U.S. Those with money and power often screw the 'little people' much more in the U.S. than in other modern nations. The Aces still have their corporate sponsorships and endorsements. A'ja Wilson is being talked up to get more $$$. Check the article in the Wall Street Journal. There's $$$ to be made, life goes on as usual.
Already subscribed, buoot, i agree with you and most. We may see a 5 digit, maybe 6 digit lawsuit. Man, as a manager, let them use their timeoff for childbirth. Or, this stuff happens. No brains, No headaches.
She missed 0 games. She didn't even take time off
@MickTalksHoops Correct, we will see what transpires. Burden is on the plaintiff a bit, but it's a bad look. So, glad I never said anything like that to an employee...lol!!!
BTW...Nice on the podcasts!! I love the stat breakdowns and B-ball technical stuff most others do not explain!! Thank you!! Sláinte!!!
@@MickTalksHoops I agree, but, look at how it's affected Katie Looooo's play this year. It's a rare woman that is right back on her feet at a high level athleticism after pregnancy/childbirth.
Too many eyes on the sport now. Ppl are digging smmfh😮 this is probably just a start
Isn't this her second suspension for bullying?
Asia Wilson looks like Dwight Howard
She don't aja Wilson is pretty be nice what wrong with you
I don’t think these players backing their coach surprises anyone. This league is aw😢ful
The WNBA is toxic af! But what do you expect from a league full of emotional women 😂😂
Is Hammon currently suspended???
I'm sure there was some personality issues that may never come to light.
Did anyone expect anything different?
I’m confused this is a 2023 story what is the relevance of it now?
The suit just filed this week by the wronged player which will add another layer of specifics and review of the allegation.
What Kelsey was saying is basically that at the beginning of a case you have allegations. Then at the end of the case, you often find that neither side is happy with the results. But that generally signals in her mind is that neither side really prove and she blames it on the investigation. You’re right that she doesn’t really take a position. But if anything, she is accusing the investigation of not revealing the truth before it got to the level of a lawsuit. That is my take away from what she said.
Tbh I think you can interpret what she says in any way you want! Every time I watched it I came to the conclusion she was taking a different stance!
I think she's trying to simultaneously not discredit Hamby nor look like she's against her coach
"She just said words". Sounds like you brother :) Blah blah blah ~ None of your video footage backs up your video title!
I mean I don't know the full story but if you sign a contract saying you're not going to get pregnant and then you break that contract that's legally binding and get pregnant I mean that's kind of on you you know what you signed up for if you can't keep your legs closed that's on you😂
But it's completely unethical for a work place to ask an employee to sign a contract about not getting pregnant!!!!!!
Period.
@@tammyboon6259 no one made her sign the contract she has every right to get pregnant but not while contracted to play for a team
Even the pill isn't 100%, good friend of mine got pregnant on it.
All one has to do is read some of these comments to see exactly how irresponsible your "reporting" on this actually is.
Everyone should actually go and do your own research on this before playing judge, jury, and executioner, especially when NONE of any of this suit has been investigated outside of the WNBAs investigation. Hamby actually asked EEOC NOT to do a full investigation. She refused an investigation and asked for permission to sue WITHOUT an investigation.
Maybe in a better world this wouldn't happen, but in the current world as it is, it is as common as mud for people to attack, judge, slander, and conduct character assassinations on social media, often without the benefit of inconveniences like facts. Don't expect better.
Post all this Jeff Carlson to see if you are still following.
Plumb was obviously supporting the team abuse of Hamby Dummie
