Caitlin Clark being White is ‘huge’ in her popularity, says A’ja Wilson

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.

No matter how much they try to convince people of how great it is.

When you say, “Come see (hear) us, we say we’re great,” you’re losers.

[airborne]

If you combine all of the minorities in the country, whites end up being a statistical minority.

So A’ja(ckass), I suppose it says alot about you that you can’t get your own to support your version of b-ball.

[DeplorablePaul]

Yes. Not to mention that there are no attractive WNBA players. There just isn’t. Clark is not a pretty girl either, but yet she is the great white hope.

Lol....but it's better FUN-DA-MENTAL basketball right?

[dfwgator]

I’d rather watch EuroLeague basketball than the NBA these days.

The crowds are the show.

[Seruzawa]

Yeah right. Look at how Michael Jordan was dissed because he was black.

Poor envious little twerp.

[Adder]

the fact that she is a White woman.

Maybe its the fact that she has some talent and is not a whiney racist beotch.

But ferals gonna feral...

[dfwgator]

Is she going to play in the Olympics?

They’ll probably get upset that they allowed one white straight player on the team.

[dfwgator]

White AND Straight.

[dfwgator]

She needs to listen to Mike:

It does seem like womanhood being defined by aggressive obnoxiousness and hyper-sexuality is not conducive to stable domestic relationships.

I've often wondered why so many black men choose to spend large chunks of their lives in prison rather than trying to create a stable, life-long relationship.

[9YearLurker]

Convenient to refer to LJB, when LBJ had the last such hype.

[9YearLurker]

And a “Trailerpark Badass” doesn’t have those answers without needing to add in race?

[Autonomous User]

Scott Adams was right.

WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson

Never heard of this "superstar."

Apparantly, she one of the highest-paid WNBA players - at $200K per year.

[dfwgator]

Maybe she can go play in Russia.

[Delta 21]

White wemenz caint jump!

[Trailerpark Badass]

And the nonsense that OJ was targeted by LAPD because he was black.

The cops loved him and were star-struck, as proved by their interactions with him in the domestic violence reports from his wife.

[rovenstinez]

Wow, as an outside observer. I THOUGHT SHE IDENTIFIED as black. So many people with 22% negroid DNA identify as black. Her kinky hair and slightly dark skin, I thought otherwise. SO SHE IS WHITE.. Bless my Purple Buttons.

[southernerwithanattitude]

Remember when it was ok to say I like her/him because they look like me??? Well like it or not but over 60% of American Girls look like her!! She has more market value because of that one undeniable fact!!
