So can you tell us what stood out to you most about the situation before, but then also as you attended the Mercury's media availability and wrote about it? Just what stood out?

Yeah, I attended the media availability where Alyssa Thomas first broke her silence since her suspension.

And one thing about Alyssa is she likes to keep everything about basketball.

She rarely wants to talk about her personal life or talk about any of the things that she was experiencing.

But she was really forthcoming about the online abuse, racial abuse and just the toxicity that she's experienced.

been facing since being suspended.

And she said she's all for like trolling and she can take criticism, but this has kind of verged into an area where her and her family both feel threatened.

and we love the soapbox said for you how difficult was this and if you want to share your ballot feel free but let us have it
