He was really trying to just ask it in what was the proper and respectful way, right?

Like, any questions that have existed across the street about Bama to Bayou and Asia Wilson didn't pop up until they went public with their relationship.

This relationship has been public for about a year.

And when those questions started getting asked, it wasn't...

Hey, what are your kids going to be like athletically, the way some things have happened and rolled out on social media?

It's always been like, how do you support one another?

All of those things.

And this reporter came in with a question that was... It's not an uncommon thing in women's professional sports, and this is where PR probably overthought this one.

You said it right off the top.

You could have just maintained the line.

We drafted the best available player.

We believe this to be the best available player.

That could be a uniform line and one that is a subjective thing that you can hold on to with conviction, actually, to shoot it down is why we're talking about it.

I find... Go ahead, Dave.

Well, I just think it's weird that the standard is that you have to ask the question, you have to phrase it in a dainty manner or otherwise, and even if you do that, it's somehow taboo.

Somehow there is a weird implied stink on the reporter perpetuated by the PR person, right?

For even having the temerity to ask such a question because the reason it's interesting, Zaz, is because you know...

that the Wings decision makers had to have had that conversation before they made the pick.

Like, are we doing this?

Because they're in a relationship, and so how will that impact things?
