To be honest, let us blame the media and journalists who started this whole thing. Sophie was asked a question and gave an answer based on her beliefs (whether we agree with it or not).

It should not have been an issue but the media made it one. Now I think we're too far down the rabbit hole.

On the flipside though I don't think it is necessarily 'bad' attention. There seems to be more eyes on the WNBA than ever before.
