Funny how many people yell about racism, both black and white, but don't say a word when stuff like this happens. And somehow think it's "justified".

Now that angel is actually playing well I'm starting to see some of the dumb shit on the other end. A lot of people ripping her for rebounding her own misses and people blaming Clarks teammates for her turnovers. Unfortunately tribalism has taken over and right now people just see what they want to see. I'm not a fan of angel, I think it's ugly basketball and she seems more like Andre drummond than she does Giannis. But at this point she's undeniably playing very well for a rookie. People trying to sell her short hurt Clarks rookie of the year case because it's just hate not grounded in logic.
That being said, this is the tribalism the media heads wanted. The same media heads whove been deplatformed from every other sport because fans are sick of politicizing sports. None of this would have happened if they just embraced both these players and their rivalry instead of demonizing Clarks "privilege" before she stepped foot on the court. This tribal bullshit is what those media heads wanted because they want their clicks, nevermind all the long term damage it's done to the brand.
