Better white players than Clark have entered the league and never had any issues but Clark gets fouled a few times and all of a sudden "it's racism". So when Brianna Strewert body checked Clark was that "racism" too?? Oops she's white so that doesn't fit the narrative right?
The worst foul a rookie has received this season was Angel Reese getting hacked down by her neck and landing hard on the floor. It was so bad the other player got ejected. But ya'll act like everyone is just going after poor old Caitlin even though Aaliyah Boston is always right there ready to scrap for Clark when needed smh.
The bottom line is this whole thing has brought great publicity to the league and it's only gonna get better when Paige, Juju and Kaleena Smith enter the league in the years ahead. Asking for the league to "let Clark cook" is utter bs. If she is who ya'll say she is then her "cooking" will come naturally in time. Fullstop. |
It is people like Jemele hill who insist that she is beloved because she’s white, straight and “pretty.” Clark has not done anything remotely racist. She is being persecuted just for existing. Jujus a wonderful player. She may not get the hype you want (yet) but ain’t a damn person persecuting her for her “privilege.”
Hard fouls happen all the time. Yeah a player like angel reese who plays inside and physical is gonna get hit back. People making excuses for this shit miss that this had NOTHING to do with basketball. It was personal. It was not a basketball play, it was someone going out of her way to throw a cheap shot. Her teammates certainly aren’t scrapping for her. Boston just ****ing stood there and coldly helped her up while angel reese celebrated her teammate like it was the Super Bowl. When clark got a tech vs Seattle Boston got heated but it was to pull clark away, it wasn’t getting into the other teams face. None of her teammates have. I think they all get along but it’s really bad body language when the league is throwing grenades at Caitlin on and off the court and her own teammates act so emotionless. That is especially the case for someone like Boston who is hyped up to be a supposedly great leader.
And yeah the league is letting this happen. Angel gets roughed up too. She also shoots almost 10 free throws per game in 10 less minutes despite way less touches, where clark in most games shoots maybe 5. That’s a woman who plays 40 minutes, is face guarded full court the entire team, is a volume player and who goes hard to the basket. That’s why angels foul led to an ejection, while Clark’s was mind numbingly called a common foul which even you know is total horseshit. That’s why Clark’s been T’ed up multiple times but the woman who calls her a bitch then shoulders her doesn’t get jackshit. That shit ain’t normal.
