Because it looks ridiculous and unprofessional on the court. She brings attention to herself in a “look at me” way that is both unflattering and inappropriate. Nobody truly cares how she dresses, but when you’re a walking neon billboard, then expect comments.

But what's insane to you is not insane to the next person. Again what difference does it make? The way she dresses is her business. The way you dress is your business.
If she looks ridiculous on the court that's her business. You obviously do care how she dresses.
Good lord, are you Mulkey's stylist? Leave it be. I'm entitled to my opinion. You too.
Nonsense. There is, and must be, a universal level of “normal” whether people want to accept it or not. Otherwise it leads to men who don’t think it’s insane to walk around in public in bikinis with their genitals hanging out. There is truth, not my truth or your truth, just truth.
If I showed up in a feather boa, sparkly Cajun trailer park outfit, someone in my office would care.
I think she enjoyed being the Bayou Barbie and the biggest star in women’s basketball after winning the nc last year. For that moment she was above Clark. The biggest star gets the most nil money. It is my opinion that any diva cares what people think.
I'd enjoy it too if I were in her position...one which few coaches in any sport get to experience. She doesn't have to care what anyone thinks and she stands up for herself.
Oh please...
Great argument. Shut down when given legitimate points to grapple with. Sounds about right based on other posts you’ve made around here.
I've been here for 24 years. I've never backed down from anything your highness.
Well then I’d be very interested to hear you take your thoughts and follow them to their logical conclusion of what would happen if all standards of what is “normal” or “acceptable” are eradicated and everyone is allowed to define themselves what is insane and what is not.
This country was founded on giving people the freedom to pursue their lives as they see fit. I see plenty of people doing things that I don't personally believe in. However as long as they are not infringing on me I support their right to do it. What is "normal" for me might not be for you. I don't believe in dictating "normality" to anyone. I believe in the"pursuit of happiness" and the acceptance of others as they are.
That doesn't address the challenge of what society will look like if there is no universal standard for normality and acceptability. I've painted my picture of what it looks like (although I didn't need to, it's a reality every day in places like San Francisco). It's grown men who think it's perfectly normal to walk around in public in bikinis with their genitals visible to everyone, including children. Do you deny that that is a possibility? Do you see that as an infringement on your life?
This guy believes in his "pursuit of happiness" too and he's not infringing on anybody else's rights. Don't look if you don't want your rights to be offended is his credo.
Some people live in a bubble.

I don’t know her personally. I am just giving my opinion from a great distance. Opinions without knowing a person can be wrong. So if you know her personally then your opinion is worth more than mine.
I ignore it, and yes, I had a guy expose himself to me in the Food Lion parking lot in Five Points. I showed no reaction and kept on about my business. That wasn't what he expected.

Still avoiding the the challenge I've presented and dodged the questions I asked. Sounds a lot like backing down.
No you just don't like my answers which I have given you time after time after time. Good Lord!
I literally asked you two questions in the above post. They were:
1.) Do you deny that no universal moral standards can lead to situations such as grown men parading in public in bikinis with their genitals visible?
and
2.) Do you see such actions as an infringement on your life?
Your response: "Imposing a universal standard for normality sounds like Nazi Germany."
That response does not grapple with either question presented.
Once again, solid rebuttal. Insightful response that is very convincing.Yeah, okay
You live your life any way you want but have to be prepared to own it. Some will praise you; some will criticize you and most will not notice or care. Have to assume Mulkey was prepared to own it and is happy with it or she would change it.
Ok..since you clearly have a problem understanding my very simplified answers I am going to state them again. Please try really really hard ok?
1) I believe that universal moral standards (whatever that is
)have absolutely no bearing on whether a person parades around in their drawers or not.2) No..what other people do has no infringement whatsoever on my life. I don't legislate morality and neither should anyone else.
Universal moral standards in my mind are just simple sets of acceptable versus non-acceptable human behaviors that go beyond just the human created laws that govern our country. If we aren't willing to set standards for human behavior then literally every action imaginable is permissible. Shoot, if we don't set a universal level of acceptable human actions then why in the world should we follow even the aforementioned laws? They were created by men after all, and who gives them the right to tell anyone what's right or wrong? (Any of this sound familiar based on current events?) Of course, what Mulkey wears isn't actually hurting anyone, but my point is the slippery slope of constantly trying to find an acceptable gray area to justify people doing whatever they feel is acceptable in their own minds is what has our country as the absolute dumpster fire it is right now.Ok..since you clearly have a problem understanding my very simplified answers I am going to state them again.

On a personal note I don't legislate morality either. God does. But what a coincidence it is that the further our society pushes people away from the Christian beliefs this country was founded on the worse we get. Go figure.
Hahaha. No. "Normal" is a statistical variation - based on what most people are doing at any one time. There is no universal level of "normal" as "normal" has always changed with the times (notice you don't walk around in an armored suit carrying a sword - but that used to be "normal"). And while "normal" is merely what the majority of people are doing, there is nothing about normal that makes those that are not "normal" in any way bad. However, it does provide some security to many to know that they're "normal" - but that's because people are naturally herd animals, seeking the the security of other people. We're social animals.
I will say though - if a person has a problem with women wearing colorful clothing - that's not "normal" and they would actually have more in common with the very extreme elements of our society. But that works for the Amish and Taliban and others - as abnormal as it is.
Great. You win the semantics war. I will concede normal is not the appropriate word in this situation. It still doesn’t deflect from the fact that there has always and will always be a universal level of acceptable behavior within the context of the times. The Bible tells all people, women included, to dress moderately as to not draw attention to themselves. So, it’s not about feeling uncomfortable, but it is about abiding by the universal customs given to us by our creator. I wouldn’t concede that I’m like the Amish or Taliban, but this day in age if believing in the traditional Bible makes me extreme then I’m fine with that label. However, something tells me the Bible wouldn’t be a very convincing argument for you.
