Chat on the MLBPA considering boycotting or asking that the All Star Game be moved from Atlanta because of the voting bill passed by the state of Georgia.

Swin Cash - 3x WNBA Champion, Current Pelicans VP of Basketball Operations
Gonna be hard but Fri. night Swin will watch UCONN while she is attending the Pelicans game.Takes her spot as a role model and using her platform very seriously. Being a member of the players union showed her that she was built to be a leader. Loves every aspect of her current job. She enjoys helping young men grow and she learns from them as well. Zion Williamson is a young man that is loving the game and playing at a high level. We have to let our youth lead us in a way that's best for them. Haven't had her Hall of Fame induction ceremony yet. It is scheduled to happen this year. Right now is a movement to hold everyone accountable to make sure men and women athletes are looked at equally. WNBA league sponsors hiring actors to play women basketball players in commercials and ads makes zero sense to Swin.
