Ya know, I’ve been doing websites for a long time. Most have been for businesses and entertainers. I started doing my own sports related websites a few years ago and now I have branched into professional athletes. I currently do Chantelle Anderson’s Official site and Becky Hammon’s Official site and more on the way 
Being able to personally work with them on the development and construction of the sites has been amazing. It is always good to work with people that know what they want. It is also good that both of these players are very much involved in their sites, writing blogs, answering fans questions, asking about the overall feedback in general. It is good and the fans love it! Chantelle and Becky are definitely 2 of the best bloggers in the WNBA!
However… working on these sites and my ShesABaller.com site and SilverStarsNation.com, which I co-own, I have come across some people with some serious issues lol! There are some men (and yes even women) out there that seriously despise women’s basketball and the women that play it and the people who support it.
Just today I got an email at one of the sites that I run through the contact form and the guy was just straight up rude and ignorant.
He was so ignorant that I ended up forwarding the email to my personal email account and responded to him, which is something I never do. And no surprise, he responded even more rude.
Maybe you should see the entire conversation… I think that would be a good idea lol:
His initial email:
Where are you from: Seattle, WA
Question: tell me….WHY is the WNBA fixed? And WHY do you female “ballers” allow yourselves to play in front of thousands of fans who really believe you are playing for real out there? I know lots of former wnba players, and I know the entire TRUTH! Of course, you won’t ever post this, write me back seperately or even want to address this subject, right? Been down that road with many other wnba players too, getting it all figured out. Shame on you, I hope God truly makes you rot in HELL!
My initial response: (I immediately looked this guy up and came up with some info on him at Yahoo so I graciously quoted it for him lol. BTW, the thing I quoted was a personal ad I found that he posted in a group for “Tall Women”…. how much do you want to bet this guy is a big nerd who got turned down by some tall women and has dreams of WNBA players and knows he doesn’t stand a chance. anyway…. here is my response lol!)
Hello,
I am the webmaster of _______ _______ website and I received your email. I think that it is pretty funny that you have such a miserable life that you found it in yourself to email her in the way that you did.
Are you starving for attention? Must be.
Also, it is very funny to me how you list the WNBA as being something that you are into:

His next response:
Well I’m 37, not 30….and I USED to be into the wnba….until I found out from former wnba players I was friends with how REAL the wnba really was. Have you seriously ever watched a real game from courtside before? Now, do you even watch the NBA??? How many point guards do you know of in the NBA who come across half court and stop to give the ball to the shooting guard?? Answer….NONE!!!!
WNBA players do it all the time. Big cover up. REAL point guards drive to the basket. Centers & power forwards don’t shoot threes much in the NBA-wnba has it’s exception to the rule.
Why do the players in the wnba who I ask about it always refuse to talk about it, if there is NOTHING TO HIDE?? If your not fixing games, then WHY can’t you talk about it like a civil person? It’s all guilt, I know it.
Fake ball players collecting money from hard working americans for faking a ball game. Pathetic. I’ll just add your name to the list I send to the press and congress…Stupid CUNT!
and I know who you are….DYKE! seen you at games before…I kow many people in sporting world…you just made my list
Now you see how ridiculous this guy is. I didn’t respond to that email, I feel like there is nothing I can say to this stupidity lol! And seriously… he is sending names to the press and congress? LMFAO!! Because he doesn’t like women’s basketball? And I am wondering if calling me a DYKE is supposed to be an insult? LOL!!! Seriously!
That was my entertainment for the night and I thought I would share it with you guys lol!!!
OMG STL!!
What the hell!!
Anyway, this guy needs help!!
This is sick!!
Well, “dyke” or not, I love people for who they are and not for what they are!!
Keep up your good work because your work is really good!!

Lil’ dude has an anger management problem. I’m pretty much in need of a HORSE game with this guy and DT. I need to see her put the beatdown on this punk AND talk shit. And no he did NOT use the “C” word. Them’s fighting words.

I would not have wasted my breath on that troll. He doesn’t appreciate the WNBA and never will. He probably calls every women he disagrees with a dyke because there could not possibly be another kind of women who would disagree with him in his ignorant mindset.
It is rough running websites, I appreciate all that you do!

If it would have come to one of the sites I own personally, I wouldnt have given this guy the time of day….. or it could have went the other way and I wouldnt have kept it rated G lol!

Seems to be that those who use slurs to get their point across have some deep inner issues with women in power in the past.
If he were friends with all these “past players”, I’d like to see what they think of his opinion of their careers.
For the true fans out there, we appreciate the sport and the work you do on the site.
