Caitlin Clark Snubbed

The WNBA can't get out of it's own way on this stuff. A chance to move the needle and all they're doing is fighting about dumb shit like this.
My favorite one is demanding more money while losing like $400m/year. They're lucky they don't make them write a refund check at the end of the season.
With fans too. I see rural fans all the time that are racist as hell but LOVE the black players at State U. You see in the Water Cooler here. They say every nasty thing they can think of about any black person the can but will defend the black athlete on “their” team to the death. Same with Rupps Rafters.
Willdog is not an athlete.
Clark wasn't snubbed. She was the most popular female player in college her senior year.
?? How does that relate in anyway to the new (cough choreographed cough ) building rivalry between her and "that black girl" (snicker) in the WNBA? I'm not tracking what College means to any of this.
Once again, I have no idea what the heck you're talking about. My comment was to a poster that said, "what about the black women." Then to a poster that claimed Clark was snubbed in college which is absolutely false considering Clark was the most popular player in women's college basketball and the attendance at her games and the ratings for Iowa games confirmed that. Your post does not logically follow any of the conversation.
Angel was never the NBA goddess and Caitlin may have been snubbed at the Olympics but she certainly wasn’t in the league. Some of the older players tried to say that Caitlin were going to have a learning curve in the league and downplayed her talent but I don’t think anyone thought Angel was going to be better. I know at some point people tried to make it seem like it was a two person race for Rookie of the Year, but voting wasn’t close.
I'm not defending any racists, but I don't see anything racist that's been posted here.
Most people who you call racist are talking against black culture. They can make the difference between culture and individuals.
My wife's grandmother was one you and I would both call racist, being from Tennessee and growing up there most of the first half of the century. But she loved the Pacers and knew more than I did about the NBA. She identified with the individual players. I know many older women who are really into the NBA and it always kind of amuses me. They're not what I would call the NBA target market.
I’m not saying Ulrey’s post, taken in isolation, was racist on its face.
I must have overlooked that post, about college. My use of snubbed (in the league) was probably to aggressive of a word. I felt like there were many that was pumping Angel and maybe a few others much more than KC. And thought that it was semi race related.
It’s going to be ok, I promise.. but Caitlin needs to check her white privilege.
You need to work on that protest chant. Too wordy at the end.
It’s almost as if you have no rhythm. Oh, wait…never mind.
I’m white, I’m right, only Caitlin caught my sight.
Clark won Rookie of the Year over Reese by a large margin. If someone is trying to snub her, they're doing a poor job of it.
They snubbed her on the Olympic team!Clark won Rookie of the Year over Reese by a large margin. If someone is trying to snub her, they're doing a poor job of it.
To my knowledge CC never complained about not making the Olympic team. Good for her.
On the Reese thing, aggressive contact by the ladies looks more out of place to us while we expect it from the men. Éxpect this will change as time goes on.
I still don't watch the WNBA. I do watch, and appreciate, IU womens' basketball.
And I loved it when CC got her ass beat in Assembly Hall.
Sounds like my Aunt Marge. Kentucky gal who followed the NBA in the 60s more than anyone in the family.
