The anchor of ESPN She Duncan caught a little Flak for a particularly coarse comment during the broadcast by the network of the All-Star WNBA game.
It was at halftime that Duncan comments on the high offensive production of the two teams.
“We hope it will become a little more competitive,” said Duncan after watching the Napheesa Collier team put 82 dishes to the Caitlin Clark 60 team in the first half. “Because like a girl’s trip to Cancun, there is no D.”

ESPN analyst Chiney Ogwumike quickly said: “You are in the waiting period. You have finished.” Then, the broadcast went to advertising.
Duncan has no regrets on his comments despite vitriol on social networks. During an appearance on “The Dan the Batard Show With Stugotz”, she defended her comment.
“My thing with Cancun’s joke is that I have the impression that every time I say something, it is like sometimes a reintroduction for some people who clearly do not know me or my work in the past 10 years,” said Duncan, by horrible announcement. “I say to myself”, my brother, I said in the air once you celebrate too early, it’s called premature, I am like. “As I can’t imagine it’s worse than that.

“So, I thought it was silly. I thought it was funny. Some people disagree. Some people really agree. But that’s what it is. As, yes, girls also say gross jokes.”
Duncan also discussed a specific part of the comments.

“The funny part for me, all of you were the people who say to me:” What am I supposed to tell my children? “” Added Duncan. “I say to myself:” Well, if you have to talk to your children because “D” is a word of slang for a p — s, I hope I was able to help you have this conversation with your child old enough to look at basketball. “Because my 4 year old child knows what a p — s.
“It’s so silly for me. The idea that this is revolutionary or in a way completely inappropriate in the landscape in which we live right now is just wild for me. I was a little blown, to be real.”
When Duncan’s comment became viral on social networks, many quickly commented on their frustration by hearing him saying.
“Add this to a long list of the reason why no one takes seriously @wnba or @espn,” said an X user under a Duncan video, published by Awful Annting.

“If Shane Gillis said that, they would try to cancel it,” said another, referring to the Espys monologue of the actor who turned heads last week.
When the second half finally started, there was even more offense than the Defense, while Collier paved the way with 36 points to help his team beat Clark, 151-131, to win the star match.
