Neither a hate post nor fan post I’m just genuinely concerned and want to talk about why an otherwise very mobile athlete struggles to load her hips during any field goal attempt.

Context: Angel did have a metal rod inserted in her leg after long term stress injuries to the ankle her Freshman year at UMD.

I personally attribute to malnourishment and inadequate trainers.

The core scoring issues seem to stem from a few breakdowns

1. Inability to plant foot during drive

This is the source of the “pray up” where she can’t do a 1-2 plant and instead just throws the ball toward the rim mid-stride.

2. Inability to load hips during jump shot.

This is someone who shoots both 15% from the 3 point line and over 70%!!! from the free throw line. How can an above average free throw shooter be so abysmal at converting from 3 steps backwards?

I think it’s similar to issue 1. where because of fear of planting her foot her entire lower body mechanics breaks down.

Conc: I can’t see why she doesn’t focus on floaters, a set shot and working on a soft gather step to jump off two.

She’ll never be a 1 foot jumper but her efficiency should be much higher. Maybe medicine ball marches? Yoga? Something from an S&C perspective. She apparently had an ankle injury last month on the same leg.

Why wasn’t this a convo on draft night? Is her team addressing it at all? What are her long term prospects in the WNBA? Is it all mental?

What do you think?

Unless I’m just going crazy and starting to see Jason everywhere. They have a similar vibe.

I can’t help but feel that the hairstyle and build of Absolute Superman fits Jason Todd similarly especially compared to longer haired versions

Disclaimer: I understand that hazing takes place in various forms, communities, age groups, races, religions, work environments, etc. *This post is about the video and the video only. Not gonna engage in talks about “what about the xyz they do it too”

As the title suggests, two victims were severely injured in a hazing incident in a fraternity. Stuff like this isn’t just humiliating but also incredibly traumatic. These men’s lives won’t ever be the same and the betrayal they probably feel regarding not only their attackers but those who knowingly allowed this to go on might last forever.

Nigga…a secret service agent? Seriously? I don’t even have words. It’s legitimately concerning that no matter the badge, there’s always someone in our community willing to do us harm unprovoked.

Interested to hear any justification of this type of abuse in black fraternities. Why is this something that absolutely needs to be done? Is hazing to demoralize or demonstrate masculinity the end goal? This is someone who you’re supposed to be connected with for life through a fraternity and yet they’ll take out their weird BDSM fetishes and unresolved issues out on those probably unable to defend themselves.

Now it’s more status and privilege preservation than black advancement.

“It remains unclear why a 29 year old maintained such close connections to a college fraternity….”

Back in 2021 I believe

By definition you need informed consent to be a willing participant.

Because hazing is inherently secretive there are NO willing participants who have informatively given their consent.

The responsibility for hazing falls on the perpetrators and organization alone.

The actual institutions of the D9, unlike few key alumni, actually obstructed the movement.

The fallacy that the D9 institutions are responsible for the civil rights movement is a lie used to enforce compliance during brutal hazing. It erases the contributions of many grassroots and non-collegiate activists from that period.

The D9 was the country club where many activists happened to gather. It is not responsible for the work of the SNCC, SCLC, and NAACP collectively.

None of the crucial work was done by D9 institutions it was simply the country club where everyone happened to be at.

The D9 pushes these lies purely in defense of hazing abuse.

Note: Rosa Parks was an honorary member and never went through the process she was posthumously made a mascot of. Dr. King did indeed become an Alpha in the 50’s. Although with a notably different process than after the Vietnam War era.
