Former WBNA star Candice Wiggins has claimed that she suffered from bullying in the sport due to being heterosexual, as the game is dominated by lesbian players.

The Stanford University point guard was a standout during her college career, going on to enjoy an eight-year spell in the professional game before retiring in 2015 following an extremely short stint with the New York Liberty.


Now removed from the game, she has criticised the culture which blighted her enjoyment of her time in the big leagues.

"My dreams didn't come true in the WBNA, in fact it was quite the opposite," she said in a revealing interview with the San Diego Tribune.

"I wanted to play for two more seasons but my mental state didn't lend itself to that. I didn't like the culture inside the WBNA and without saying too much, it was toxic for me and my spirit was being broken.


"Being heterosexual and straight and vocal in my identity as a straight woman was huge. I would say 98 percent of the women in the WBNA are gay women.

"There was a whole different set of rules they could apply. There was a lot of jealousy and competition and we're all fighting for crumbs."

The 30-year-old confessed that she believes her sexual orientation contributed to making her a target for other players in the league.

"The way I looked and the way I played created tension," she continued. "People were deliberately trying to hurt me all the time.

"I had never been called the b-word so many times in my life than I was during my rookie season. I'd never been thrown to the ground so much.

"The message was: 'We don't like you and we want you to know that'. It comes to a point where you get compared so much to the men that you start to mirror them.

"So many people think that you must look and play like a man in order to gain respect but I was the opposite. I was proud to be a women but it didn't fit well into that culture."

Algerian in Belgium with ‘no papers’ battles to claim lotto win
The winning ticket was bought in Zeebrugge, a port city and popular transit point for migrants and refugees.

Scratchcard games
The winning scratchcard is reportedly being held by a court in Bruges

An Algerian national deemed to be staying without documents in Belgium is battling to claim a 250,000-euro ($270,000) jackpot won on a scratchcard, with authorities insisting it can be paid only if he can prove his identity.

“My client is in an illegal situation, he has no papers and no bank account,” Alexander Verstraete, a lawyer for the 28-year-old, told the AFP news agency on Friday.

“We are looking for those documents that can prove his identity. He will have to contact his family in Algeria.”

Verstraete said the winning scratchcard was currently being held by a court in the city of Bruges after three friends tried to claim it unsuccessfully on his client’s behalf.

The friends, also from North Africa, were detained for a night by police on suspicion of theft before being released when the real winner came forward with his lawyer.

The winning ticket was bought a few weeks ago in Zeebrugge. The Belgian port city is a popular destination for migrants and refugees trying to reach England hidden in trucks or containers.

Verstraete said his client, who does not intend to apply for asylum to stay in Belgium, had obtained a promise from the authorities that he would not be deported until he had received his prize.

The prize is the jackpot of a scratchcard sold for five euros ($5.5), which offers a “one in 3.69 chance” of winning some sort of payout, according to the national lottery website.

The retailer who sold the ticket is prohibited from giving out such a prize in cash.

For any prize of more than 100,000 euros ($108,000), the winner must go to the company’s headquarters in Brussels, said Joke Vermoere, spokeswoman for the national lottery.


That is where the winner’s three friends went.

“The winner did not show up at our place, we have not seen him, which is blocking the procedure for the awarding of the prize for the time being,” said Vermoere.

She did not specify the conditions or the nature of the documents required to claim the win.

“It is in the hands of the public prosecutor’s office in Bruges,” she said.

They most likely will. I think they just need to be extended an invitation. They are part of the very few who identify simply as Nigerians and not Nigerian Americans. Frankly speaking, they also do not have a shot at playing for the US so Nigeria seem to be their only option.
Hmmm,. God help they play for Nigeria,. If not for anything,. For their height.

Yorubas do not need documented and time immemorial cowards like the Igbos' validation to be called brave.
It is simple:
Yorubas who had Empire like Britain,China etc.Yorubas who defeated the Fon,Dahomey,Nupe,Ashanti etc versus Igbos that little, little tribes like Igala,Ijaw,Bini etc defeated,colonised and used as slaves.
Stupidity is when you compare the weak Igbos to Yoruba warriors.
LMFAO grin

mastermaestro:
Where is Obi going to get the votes that will make him emerge as president? This is the height of self-delusion. Votes are not won online, aunty! As it stands, sadly so, Atiku remains the only viable candidate of PDP. The others are noisemakers who may not even win their respective home states.

You guys are exaggerating Obi’s popularity. Has he been to the North to campaign? What about campaigning in the South? What about the West? His political impression is as good as zero there. Wike’s voice is way louder than Obi’s. The Wike himself still can’t win the south South votes.

Elections depend on numbers, not sentiments. The only South Easterner whose appeal is a bit national is Okorocha. But his people hate him. Umahi is hated more. Any Eastern politician who dines with other regions always gets blacklisted by his people. So how do you intend to produce a president who has not influence or friends outside the East?

For now, Soludo, if he doesn’t bow to clannish pressures, is the near future hope of an Easterner emerging as Nigerian president.
you're just another noise maker,. Your Lamentations ends here!!

Romance › What's The Pettiest Reason Why You Refused Dating Someone??? by Queenslander(op): 3:46am On Apr 01, 2022
We all have pet peeves. And what might seem like a petty or insignificant habit or personality trait to one person can be a glaring red flag to someone else.

Back in the day,. I had a final year student who asked me out,. Was in my second year at the time,.

In all honesty this guy was handsome, tall, driven, and intelligent; we got along well. He was almost perfect, except for the fact that he looked exactly like my older brother,. Which I felt was really weird,. huh I could never look at him, without seeing a spitting image of my brother in him! Just really freaked me out!! Couldn't imagine myself dating him cry

So ladies and gents,. What's that petty reason why you refused dating that guy or girl?

Let's hear your thoughts??

Igbo girls that don't want to marry fellow Igbo men and rather want to marry Yoruba men because Igbo men usually buy their Igbo wives at exorbitant prices and turn them to slaves,turn them to sales girls since she's her husband's property that he bought with money he sweated for. Hardly would you see a married Igbo man's shop without his wife working for him. Also,every Igbo husbands that die are believed to be killed by their wives especially if the husband is rich. Igbos shave their widow's hair too and make her wear black for months or years. If she is exonerated from dinhaving hand in her husband's death,her husband's brother would inherit all his properties and send her and her children packing to their village in the east. I'm a Yoruba guy but knows a lot about igbos
totally empty!! grin
