All in all, quite a silly thing to say

I had to look this up; apparently what Sophia Cunningham says is not exactly "front page" news. Here is one account:
WNBA star rips Detroit expansion: 'Don't know how excited people are ... going to Detroit'
"I also think that you want to listen to your players, too," said Cunningham . . . "Where do they want to play? Where are they going to get excited to play?" Then she uttered this: "I don't know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or Cincinnati".
Wrong city, Sophia. You meant "Cleveland". Anything else to buttress your opinion? After all, you play for INDIANAPOLIS which doesn't strike many as all that exciting, either.
Meanwhile, you have given the Detroit and Cleveland teams extra incentive to whup a$$ when they face the Fever in the future. And by the way, your team is part of the WNBA and the league may not appreciate your flapping your gums.
These days, there are a million sports reporting outlets. People who have no business talking at all have microphones and cameras shoved in their faces all the time. The result is often blurted baloney.
This story belongs in my "Dumbest thing that I read about recently" thread.
