Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

I enjoy most of the stories, yet there are errors which prevented me from the five star review. For instance, a headline and photo of a story when clicked upon was not the story advertised. Secondly... See more

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A news brief for each team. A paragraph with something newsworthy. A column about upcoming games that may affect the playoffs; injury reports, etc.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Just started reading this but I like having someplace to read about the WNBA. I have not been much of a basketball fan but I want to read about women's basketball.

Terrible HR Performance and Communication

In the interview, my skills were evaluated based on the two assignments that I had to complete earlier. They did not check the assessment, but gave another one with a tight deadline. HR management & communication needs to improve.

They were continuously focusing on the fact that I had used AI, and this was conveyed to me at the end of my trial period which went for over a week. During the entire process, I had to write around 8 articles on WordPress, along with putting everything in place (images, meta titles and descriptions, tags, and categories) and sit through meetings, all of which took almost half of my day during this period. There were different lengthy materials to go through, but after the period was over nothing came back from them. I had to reach out to the L&D head for further updates, and then again prove myself by writing another article. Each article consisted of 800-900 words, even though they stated that each would be getting covered within 450-500 words. It wasn't just possible as the structure that I had to follow exceeded the word count. Everything that the HR said was untrue, and eventually they were delaying the process, and no offer letter was offered by them. When I approached the HR again, he apologized and said there was miscommunication regarding the timings, pays, and daily targets. I was provided night shifts, from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m., the pay was much below the standard pay, and I had to deliver 6 articles everyday.

I was respectful towards them in every session, and carefully listened to them, participated in quizzes and group interviews. I also calmly accepted the fact about AI flagging my articles, even though the ones posted on their website had major AI and plagiarism issues with them. I didn't disclose this matter with any proof nor did I state efficiently that the pieces that I had written had issues, and made peace with the end result.

Too much hype...

Too much hype emphasizing the players as personalities and celebrities, and not much statistical analysis on their output as players.

Love She Got Game

I love the extensive content and summary of the games, league, and players. She Got Game is the only sports content that is exclusively for the W and women's college games. It's always current and up to date. Thank you for creating this. Love it!

I like reading the stories and…

I like reading the stories and background of players. I enjoy the happenings of the WNBA. What I do not like is not sticking to the facts of the league and focusing on one dynamic of the W. It is so much more. Bring light to people and events that deserve coverage, not popularity all the time.

It’s a team sport!

I enjoy reading about the players and coaches. I like the articles that give background information and statistics from the games. It’s important that we know about all the players not just the stars. Keep up the good work!!

Great Reports on WNBA Players and Teams!

Great reports on the stars, teams and league overall. Please advocate for the much better officiating that the players deserve, and I could do with fewer stories on Angel Reese who is the epitome of bad attitude and lack of sportsmanship.

I like the mix of fact and emotion

I like the mix of fact and emotion! It gets us (fans) more involved and "caught up in" the game. I have no desire to watch NBA; it has become a shooting fest and a fouling fest. The ONLY thing that I don't like in the W is the officiating, or lack thereof. I have been watching the W since Dawn played with the Charlotte Sting. We drove 90 miles to most every game. I called my 100 yr old aunt to discuss their play and now I call her daughter who is in her 80's. She loves CC!
