Pittin' up the WNBA
« on: June 11, 2024, 07:30:43 AM »
So the Caitlin Clark discourse is wild and sad and very political/race-based.

I saw this highlight this morning.

Like, it's a legitimate foul call, but the player making the foul mocked the head jerk. No big deal, right?

Well....

And really just a bunch of awful blue check replies

I don’t like CC, because she’s a whining flopper. That video of her faking an injury during a court storming was very telling, IMO.

I think she is very used to getting calls and now she isn’t and she can’t deal with it.

All totally valid, plus she's playing much better players now! Personally I have zero beef with Caitlin, I have beef with the gross people who are making her the face of white victimization

Probably a both/and situation w/ lots of nuance tbh.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

My opinion of her is basically both of these combined.

She's a pretty good ball player, she definitely also got a lot of calls against lower level players and is struggling to adjust a bit against new competition, and also imo she is being I think targeted a bit by the league because of all the fame she's gotten, justified or not. The media (and all the talking head ilk) have a supreme weird fascination with her. I think any hyped rookie entering any professional setting is going to wanted to "put in their place" by the veterans of the league. It's just normal imo. It's just everyone wants to of course overly read into all of it and make it into a race thing, which is gross, or make it into a gender thing, which is also gross, or make it into a LQBT thing, which is also gross. So of course she's going to garner or be a touch stone to all the culture warriors out there.

The most stupid and  :lol: :lol: about this is how triggered #blueanon gets when people make comments on what's going on right in front of their eyes while listening to certain players and commentators rage out about CC existing.

This thread is absolute pinnacle white guilt cRusty and it's fantastic.  :thumbsup:

The purposefully obtuse role on this board is currently played by another actor, cRusty. Sorry, parts taken  :frown:
