Pretty much this. Assuming she didn’t know she was pregnant, the Aces still signed her with the intention of her competing as the player they thought they were getting for two seasons.

After their signing, they came to the conclusion that she wasn’t this player and didn’t take the precautions they would have liked her to to ensure this. To me the most crude thing is them telling her she didn’t do anything to prevent getting pregnant, but that’s not exactly illegal.

End of the day, you have an athlete who thinks they’re more ready than the team thinks they are, and then they traded her for a different player. She’s unhappy because her pregnancy played a role in this, but that’s business.

The most severe, yet still not unethical allegation is them asking her if this was planned, and then telling her she should have been proactive about not getting pregnant. That to me is outside the bounds of what an organization should really say.

Regarding some of the other things, like them saying she didn’t look like she would be on the verge of returning based on workout… that’s a criticism and/or statement that they are absolutely within their rights to say.

Yep. Most jobs don’t exactly have the risk of you having to relocate out of nowhere. This is simply part of the business.
