Another user accused her of being a sociopath for not providing a comment, “I’ve interviewed her several times, and while I’m not a doctor she checks all of the boxes of being a sociopath. She is not very likeable either.”

He also touched on former Baylor University player Queen Egbo, who currently plays for the Indiana Fever, and criticized Mulkey’s silence tweeting, “A player that built Baylor, 2 national titles, & a 40-0 record. Yet her former coach refuses to say anything or simply just show any kind of support. Keep that in mind when you’re choosing schools.”

Another Baylor University player Chloe Jackson criticized Mulkey writing on Twitter, “And I will say it again. SILENCE SPEAKS VOLUMES, smh.”

Kinel reacted to these two players and others going after Mulkey saying, “Because Kim Mulkey refuses to take the side or stand up for Brittney Griner or say anything, because she’s simply saying you’re not gonna hear a comment from me on that topic that is enough for these people to come out and attack her over it. What an absolute joke.”
It is an absolute joke and these people have made a joke of themselves and exposed themselves for who they truly are by spouting such hatred simply because she refused to publicly comment on Brittney Griner.
