When you get off-side with your own team mates / management i think i know where the problem lies. Blaming having to live in a bubble with "no fans, no friends" as a reason to act as a brat is a bit precious. I would have thought some of your team mates would be "friends". Obviously not. ------------- Refer ALP Election Promises |

Earlier this week, Aussie basketball great https://www.news.com.au/sport/olympics/deplorable-andrew-boguts-swipe-at-liz-cambage-after-olympics-exit/news-story/363fc20f2226e3e417744849a966f960" rel="nofollow - Andrew Bogut took to Twitter to suggest he is seemingly not convinced Cambage withdrew from the Olympics due to mental health concerns. On Friday evening, former SEM Phoenix assistant coach Ian Stacker tweeted: Mental health is a significant issue for our community. Every time a sports star or celebrity uses mental health as an excuse for deplorable behaviour totally frustrates those dealing with real issues. Amen to that... ------------- Desert War, Rain Lover, Latin Knight, Hay List, Mustard...my turf heroes... |

Can't comment on Cambage's alleged behavior because I simply don't know. She may have personal issues, may be a pain in the butt, or both. What I do know is that: Bogut was a brilliant basketballer as is Cambage. Bogut's family hails from the predominantly white supremacist neo fascist nation of Croatia. And his public comments on certain issues suggest he's following in the family's ethnic tradition. Cambage has a history of on-line comment on perceived racial and gender discrimination in sport. Cambage was born of a Nigerian father and an Australian mother who raised her daughter alone, and suffered racial taunts throughout her childhood years. Bogut has a history of attacking Cambage, in the first instance criticizing her for attending a Black Lives Matter demonstration and later for her expression of personal views on a number of issues. I'm not endorsing anything Cambage has said or done. Just suggesting Bogut's continual and recent comments should be given no less or no more credence that Cambage's. |

Yes - Mick Moylan had mental issues that saw him sit out the Finals series a few years back for Penrith. Ben Barber had similar a few times as well. So did Greg Inglis i think. Been many , many more across all sports. Now Liz has got it. Good luck to her - she is going to need it - cant see her team mates who she has let down welcoming her back anytime soon.

SC wrote .."Cambage was born of a Nigerian father and an Australian mother who raised her daughter alone, and suffered racial taunts throughout her childhood years" If her father was Nigerian, it is of particular interest in a recent trial game against Nigeria Cambage was reported to have got into with heated arguments with her Nigerian opponents,. Some suggested it might have been racial, which in itself is very interesting.

Bob, the Spirit and the Aurora operated at the same time , night and night about. Pretty much the same train with a different name. They ran over night, with a dining car, bar, and sleepers. The XPT, which is supposed to mean Xpress Passsenger Train but is really an Xpensive Piece of Trash, took over years ago. As you say, 35 years ago. At that time the Spirit ran straight thru from Sydney to Melb, and vice versa. That you speak of changing at Albury was back in the dark ages.  When the rail gauges were different in NSW and Vic. Thats why Albury has the longest platform in the southern hemisphere. ------------- animals before people. |

Details of Reported Conflict Emerge After Cambage’s ‘Contract Divorce’
The https://www.si.com/wnba/los-angeles-sparks" rel="nofollow - Sparks announced on Tuesday that https://www.si.com/wnba/2022/07/26/sparks-star-liz-cambage-to-leave-team" rel="nofollow - the team agreed to part ways with center Liz Cambage. While reasons for the “contract divorce” did not officially get released, https://sports.yahoo.com/liz-cambages-sparks-divorce-featured-conflict-from-jersey-number-choice-to-gripes-in-film-sessions-and-on-the-court-sources-say-020037614.html" rel="nofollow - Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported that there were numerous conflicts that led to the mutual decision on Tuesday. The 30-year-old signed with Los Angeles on https://www.si.com/wnba/2022/02/06/liz-cambage-commits-joining-sparks-la-aces" rel="nofollow - Feb. 15 as a free agent . Cambage came with “baggage” when arriving on her new team, according to Haynes. One of those controversies included when she allegedly https://www.si.com/wnba/2022/05/29/report-wnba-star-cambage-directed-racial-slur-at-nigerian-players-prior-to-2021-olympics" rel="nofollow - used a racial slur during a heated scrimmage with Nigeria prior to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics while playing for the Australian national team. When Cambage officially joined the Sparks for the 2022 season, tensions began to rise. It started with the four-time All-Star’s selection of a jersey number. She reportedly wanted to sport No. 8, but the Sparks said she couldn’t due to the team retiring DeLisha Milton-Jones’s number. Then, she wanted No. 1; however, Amanda Zahui B. already wore the number, and it reportedly meant a lot to the forward. Even when the Sparks approached Zahui B. about potentially changing her number, she declined. But, the Sparks did it anyway. The forward reportedly found out about her number changing on social media. On top of this, Zahui B. ended up being suspended for the 2022 season after a miscommunication about her overseas commitment. Additionally, Cambage reportedly had locker room troubles with some of her teammates. For example, sources told Yahoo Sports that the 30-year-old would “call out” her fellow teammates during film sessions because she thought that they didn’t pass to her enough. The teammates would explain why, but tensions continued to grow. Most recently, the center was involved in drama during the Sparks’ Saturday game vs. her former team, the Aces. Cambage reportedly complained on the court because, once again, she didn’t think her teammates were passing her the ball enough. In the game, her Sparks teammates then found ways to give her the ball even when it wasn’t included in the plays just to satisfy her. The Sparks then lost 84–66, causing Cambage to leave the locker room early. “I can’t do this anymore. Best of luck to you guys,” Cambage said while leaving the locker room, per Yahoo Sports. It ended up being her final game in a Sparks uniform, so her words remain true. It’s unknown what’s next for Cambage following the “contract divorce.” ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

| Is anyone surprised to hear this news? She is toxic wherever she goes. And for the few people still doubting that well, all you need to remember is what the common denominator is with all these incidents. |
