WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson said the elephant in the room when it comes to the enormous popularity of Caitlin Clark is the fact that she is a White woman.
Clark is by far the most heralded basketball player since Larry Bird entered the NBA in 1979 alongside Earvin “Magic” Johnson. But when you juxtapose Clark’s resumé with Wilson’s, the contrast is startling and begs the question as to why Clark already has a signature Nike shoe deal and Wilson did not until this past week.

It’s not about preferential race. It’s about talent. Ask Michael Jordan.

The audience for the WNBA is tiny. If Clark can fill seats, she can make them all money. I hope the black players don’t try to hurt her out of jealousy. My SC honeys really bullied her in the final.

Megan Rapinoe is white too, she ain’t popular.

She should talk with Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King for some pointers.

I thought Clark just set an all-time NCAA scoring record. That’s when I first started seeing stories about her. At the time, I didn’t know if she was white or black, or even if she was a real woman.
To: DallasBiff
She is probably correct.
Black women in the public eye carry themselves in a manner that is probably attractive to each other, but I find rather repellent.

Point being, it’s not about race, it’s about personality.
People loved Tiger Woods when he started out. They loved Simone Biles.

I’m looking forward to watching Caitlin and the Fever play tonight on ESPN2. It takes a lot for me to even turn on the television.

Hmmm, maybe trannys playing in women's sports is not such a bad idea after all.
I'm so done with racial division that I, for one, am ready to welcome gender divisiveness

Lol...Lebron was just a tad "heralded" when he entered the NBA at 19.
This is still women's basketball. Lucky if 10% of the interested 100% really cares that much. No matter how much they try to convince people of how great it is.
To: dfwgator
Exactly! Clark is probably the best women’s player ever...she just happens to be white.
