I don't really care what the media says. That's also a you thing.

She got pushed down on the fancy court for the same reason girls get pushed down on blacktop.

Larry Bird was once called the “great white hope”

Now Caitlin Clark is called the “great white bitch”

This would be a very different issue if outrage mongers didn’t insist on injecting themselves into the situation.

I think USWNT learned that the hard way and they’re going back to their roots of focusing way more on soccer than all the outside stuff

I think the USWNT changed when a certain someone retired.

Yes without a doubt. And that one person pulled everyone on the team along for the ride in order to be intentionally provocative.

Puts her on a list of ratchet snatch sex workers from the bottom rung of society and keeps referencing click bait while clearly not understanding why the rest of society isn't interested in supporting her.

I think it is way more than fair to ask how these shit stirrers comments are impacting how other players perceive of her. Or the leagues unwillingness to protect her. It’s less about one physical act which could have been provoked by clark. The fact that she didn’t even get a flagrant call on something that would get an nba player possibly ejected is crazy. Considering that the nba goes scorched earth if you even pinky tap lebron. The fact that her teammates in a league we are told is physical and in your face gave zero shits about defending her isn’t a great look either. There is without a doubt a vibe that others, including the league and team you’d think would be furiously defending her, are buying into these shit stirred narratives and are reluctantly supportive. And that ain’t just jealousy.

Gotta love the WNBA. Bitch and moan for years that nobody cares about them, then finally they get their version of Jordan to elevate the entire league, but she's too good so everyone hates her, including the league's media.

Can't make this shit up. They deserve to fail. Hell, they should have years ago.

They would have failed but the NBA figured it was easier to keep the league over dealing with the media backlash.

Yeah, no idea why people cry about Clark's performances due to ESPN's hype.... she seems really down to earth, WTF do you want her to do... call up ESPN and tell them to stop it?

Women tend not on average to circle the wagons like men do.

Wisconsin_Chief · 06-04-2024, 10:38 AM

The funniest part about this whole thing is Clark literally holds the fate of the entire league in her hands. I hope she gets fed up with this bullshit and goes and plays in Europe or something, and tells all her fans on social media to never watch another WNBA game. That league would be instantly over, aside from the NBA continuing to fund it strictly for PC reasons.

It's amazing these people can be so oblivious. Well, actually it's not, but I digress.

and they are physically beating the shit out of the person that made the WNBA relevant--even before she played one second for them
