Yes, the players are the no different that the NFL, NBA, etc. They are

being paid and the days of "they are just college kids" are over. They should expect the same treatment as the professionals.

If the mystics expect VT fans then they
VT81hokie • 04/14/25 09:59 PM ET
Which fans are yoy speaking for?**
VAHokie89 • 04/15/25 03:56 PM ET
Why would that help? Anyone can walk up to a Microphone and say whatever.
thunar • 04/15/25 10:43 AM ET
I’m not sure her persona is the problem
Hokie-NC • 04/15/25 08:53 AM ET
Where have you seen people say "you’re always a Hokie." when someone left?**
thunar • 04/15/25 10:44 AM ET
I’d say you’re always a Hokie once you graduate from Virginia Tech**
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 12:46 PM ET
Me, also
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 02:04 PM ET
your opinion**
thunar • 04/15/25 01:35 PM ET
It's actually a fact that A) She graduated. B) She will always be a Hokie.**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:20 AM ET
b) is your opinion. You don't represent the school or the fanbase.**
thunar • 04/16/25 11:37 AM ET
Neither do you...or me**
TomTurkey • 04/16/25 01:48 PM ET
I am not the one making absolute statements like you are.**
thunar • 04/17/25 11:59 AM ET
Nope. Those are FACTS. Just because you don't like them, doesn't make them
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:38 AM ET
Ok where is it written that she is a hokie? Where is the evidence that your
thunar • 04/16/25 11:50 AM ET
It's written on her diploma...**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:50 AM ET
Where precisely on the diploma does it say the word Hokie. **
thunar • 04/16/25 11:51 AM ET
Neither does yours or mine. You do have one, don't you?
TomTurkey • 04/16/25 01:58 PM ET
Ok so same question. Where is it established that having a diploma from
thunar • 04/17/25 11:56 AM ET
It doesn't. But it doesn't have to.**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:53 AM ET
Then where is your basis for saying she having a diploma makes her a Hokie
thunar • 04/16/25 11:54 AM ET
It just is.**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:56 AM ET
I am sure you believe that, but that doesnt make it true**
thunar • 04/16/25 11:58 AM ET
It's more true than "it doesn't make her a Hokie" is true...**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:59 AM ET
Actually neither is more true than the other. What constitutes a Hokie is
thunar • 04/16/25 12:02 PM ET
99.99999999999% of the world would accept graduating as a criteria. That's
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 12:10 PM ET
Where is that data? Did you poll the Hokie fanbase or university?
thunar • 04/16/25 12:15 PM ET
I made it up. :)**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 12:17 PM ET
Close enough**
TomTurkey • 04/16/25 02:01 PM ET
Twitter posts**
Hokie-NC • 04/15/25 11:14 AM ET
OK give me an example. Show me a post
thunar • 04/15/25 11:21 AM ET
They’re well paid adults in this NIL world as you call it. So yes, it’s
Stork • 04/15/25 09:56 AM ET

atlhokie1 • 04/15/25 11:09 AM ET
Very happy for her! Will follow Mystics closer now
1977hokie • 04/15/25 08:17 AM ET
Indiana Fever fan here with bit Of every who Liz plays for **
MrFantastic! • 04/15/25 06:14 AM ET
Yeah Fever are exciting Team!! Worth watching for sure **
1977hokie • 04/15/25 09:04 AM ET
The Mystics closer proximity to Virginia Tech should lead to that
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 05:34 AM ET
That's exactly why VT shouldn't adopt her. We needed her help she left.
thunar • 04/15/25 10:46 AM ET
She doesn't need our help. Like appreciation, maybe. She's a tough Aussie. **
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 11:53 AM ET
So she doesn't need a fanbase to get endorsement deals?
thunar • 04/15/25 12:06 PM ET
The entire Commonwealth of Kentucky is her fan base.
Stork • 04/15/25 12:37 PM ET
Sorry, but this is most ridiculous post I've read on here in 20+ years**
Scream_On_D • 04/15/25 01:41 PM ET
Wait? Are you saying you don’t read your own posts? **
Stork • 04/15/25 02:44 PM ET
ROFL. I wonder what the Louisville fans have to say about that.**
thunar • 04/15/25 01:36 PM ET
Kentucky will quickly forget her
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 12:50 PM ET
Got that right.**
Stork • 04/15/25 02:41 PM ET
Got some postseason national recognition **
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 01:49 PM ET
This might by the dumbest post I’ve read on here in awhile and that’s say
BackInTheBurg • 04/15/25 11:13 AM ET
So you like players that quit on VT? You must be a hoo. **
Blueboy • 04/15/25 09:24 PM ET
It's a good thing she didn't quit on VT.**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:22 AM ET
Ugh. I’m exposed. Bottle up that hate and let it fuel you. **
BackInTheBurg • 04/15/25 09:53 PM ET
Wow!! I see the kiddies are posting this evening. Like the nausea well all
ancient alien 2018 • 04/15/25 10:51 PM ET
Yes and just name calling is a much better post.
thunar • 04/15/25 11:23 AM ET
I didn’t name call. I didn’t call you dumb. Your post on the other hand…**
BackInTheBurg • 04/15/25 11:29 AM ET
Your opinion. Not a very well thought out one.**
thunar • 04/15/25 11:34 AM ET
Actually, much more well thought out than yours if I don’t say so myself**
BackInTheBurg • 04/15/25 11:42 AM ET
Also an opinion and also not thought out**
thunar • 04/15/25 12:04 PM ET
Some VT didn't handle well but, KB and Georgia didn't either. Burnt some
vtlee • 04/15/25 09:38 AM ET
I wouldn’t throw KB and Amoore in the same bucket by a long shot. Georgia
BackInTheBurg • 04/15/25 11:41 AM ET
BINGO!**
NokieHokie • 04/16/25 11:23 AM ET
That’s it.
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 12:54 PM ET
Her and KB obviously not the same. Not excusing some fans that might've
vtlee • 04/15/25 12:13 PM ET
Trevon Hill? You’re comparing Amoore with Hill. That’s rich. The dude
BackInTheBurg • 04/15/25 12:49 PM ET
Stating a fact, not a comparison of them as people.
vtlee • 04/15/25 12:55 PM ET
Thats a mighty fine post. We dont agree.**
thunar • 04/15/25 12:08 PM ET
Buy**
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 11:51 AM ET
some will some will not kenny effect**
MrFantastic! • 04/15/25 08:42 AM ET
Amoore ..WHO ????
JRHokie • 04/15/25 06:38 AM ET
Amoore is a VT grad.
VANESSAHOKIE • 04/18/25 09:59 PM ET
Amoore is a Virginia Tech graduate **
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 06:39 AM ET
I find it interesting nothing on social media from VT proclaiming or
Stork • 04/15/25 07:59 AM ET
Cassell Guard did post on social media and congratulate her. **
VANESSAHOKIE • 04/18/25 10:01 PM ET
Uh. She left. The silence is expected.**
thunar • 04/15/25 10:48 AM ET
Not by many on this board. Read away. **
Stork • 04/15/25 11:00 AM ET
That is interesting in a sad way. We celebrate Robert Coleman Richardson
Va AandM • 04/15/25 09:36 AM ET
Yep and just because I got a Grad Degree from NCSU, does not make me a
UTPr0sim • 04/15/25 07:25 AM ET
It is not HATE
MrFantastic! • 04/15/25 08:46 AM ET
In my work I’m always introduced by grad school. The way it is
Va AandM • 04/15/25 09:43 AM ET
Yet if Liz was in the same set of circumstances would she have stayed at VT**
UTPr0sim • 04/15/25 09:11 AM ET
I think so, reading the unspoken tea leaves**
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 11:15 AM ET
Doesn't matter. She wasn't.**
HokieAllMyLife • 04/15/25 09:33 AM ET
It certainly does matter. People are demonizing Amoore and praising Liz
UTPr0sim • 04/15/25 10:25 AM ET
No one is demonizing. They just have a different opinion to you that you
thunar • 04/15/25 10:54 AM ET
exactly**
MrFantastic! • 04/15/25 10:56 AM ET
Again, She wasn't in those circumstances. Trying to say what she would or

Didn't realize that GA showed up in UK swag.**

Tribute video during Liz ceremony**
HokieAllMyLife • 04/15/25 11:25 AM ET
On her video congratulating Liz, yes**
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 11:17 AM ET
Not a great look in that case. Would have gone something generic as said
atlhokie1 • 04/15/25 11:20 AM ET
Georgia didn't see it that way - means to an end **
TomTurkey • 04/15/25 11:21 AM ET
I’ve been a pro and college sports fan for 50 years
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 08:11 AM ET
Many a kid graduate VT. Do they remain VT fans?
MrFantastic! • 04/15/25 06:55 AM ET
And Virginia Tech Hokie
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 06:57 AM ET
Who Cares...She....
JRHokie • 04/15/25 06:42 AM ET
And that ship has sailed and is done
Hokie1992 • 04/15/25 06:55 AM ET
LOL. I like how the people not cheering on Amoore speak about how they feel
thunar • 04/15/25 10:59 AM ET
Absolutely! The animosity reminds me of toddlers tantrums, grow up!
pberry • 04/15/25 08:23 AM ET
Animosity? I see people telling you how the feel and think.
thunar • 04/15/25 11:01 AM ET
Goes both ways
MrFantastic! • 04/15/25 09:03 AM ET
“Had”? How about “chose”?**
GCHokieof91 • 04/15/25 07:26 AM ET
Wish her all the best. **
