Mia Khalifa disses WNBA Draft

Adult film star Mia Khalifa dissed the WNBA draft Thursday night on Twitter. 

The WNBA draft held its annual player selection meeting–aka draft–Thursday night. Though the WNBA is a middling league with little interest from fans, but a confusing commitment from the NBA who oversees it, the draft itself actually gained some attention.

Some of that may have been because there wasn’t much else going on in the world of sports. Most Major League Baseball games on Thursday were played as matinee tilts, while the NBA took its brief rest before the storm of the playoffs begins Saturday.

Only the NHL had any meaningful contests being played Thursday night, as it played its second night of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That left the WNBA for sports fans to revel in. One such sports enthusiast, did not find it all that intriguing though.

Khalifa, from Miami, and known as a Florida State Seminoles fan, apparently found a tweet come across her Twitter timeline, and then bashed its subject.

For what it’s worth, Khalifa is probably not alone in not knowing the WNBA had a draft, though hard core sports enthusiasts probably knew of the news which came out prior to the draft that for the first time, the league had two early entrants.

In fact, altogether there had been just two early entrants previously–Candace Parker in 2008 and Kelsey Bone in 2013. This year the two went first and second in the draft.

Jewell Lloyd, a junior from Notre Dame, went No. 1 to the Seattle Storm, while Minnesota sophomore Amanda Zahui B went second to the Tulsa Shock.

The point is that Khalifa may fancy herself a sports fan, but she clearly is not an obsessed one. No opinion here on whether that is a good thing or not.

Or at the very least she is not as informed as she may like to seem.

She did, however, try to woo Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller–who will battle with two other proven quarterbacks (JT Barrett and Cardale Jones) this fall for playing time–to Florida State, which he could do given that he will be a graduated senior academically, meaning according to NCAA bylaws he could finish his NCAA playing eligibility at a different school and play this upcoming season as a replacement for Khalifa’s favorite player Jameis Winston (assuming he is).

The WNBA does have a draft, and now Ms. Khalifa knows that. It’s all about knowing, or something like that. Oh yeah, the expression goes, “The more you know.” That’s it.
