Caitlin Clark being White is ‘huge’ in her popularity, says A’ja Wilson
Rolling Stone ^ | 5/13/24 | Terry Shropshire

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.

Yeah, maybe probably. And your point is?

Oh wait, you mean like us lesbian ball players attracting the same to our game.

I think Elin pretty much tried to kill Tiger with a four iron the night she found out he had been screwing around on her. I love’s me some of that Nordic, Viking blood!

How come we have never heard of this “superstar”?

Wilson is upset Clark got a big shoe deal and she did not, she is upset Clark is a great athlete. The thing is the WNBA needs Clark to try and sell their product, if she can help with popularity then everyone in the league benefits and maybe the pay can be increased from the average $75,000 these players make.

But I can see that Mythical Racism is going to destroy this opportunity and if the NBA finally pulls the plug on their subsidizing the league then they are through. Their TV contract is only worth $60 Million and unless they get behind Clark and try to make the product sellable that TV money is not going to increase in dime in the future. They are barely hanging on on ESPN with terrible ratings.

Whitey bad.
More money for WNBA (because of whitey) good, but we will invent convoluted reason for that extra money that excludes whitey.
And still act like a victim.

Just imagine if the Cavinder twins made it to the WNBA. The black girls would lose their minds.

By limiting your question to young black men (and women) instead of expanding it to a broader underclass.

Though yes, from Blaxpoitation films to rap music, young black men have been especially targeted by our intel Deep State with messaging to reinforce a dysfunctional culture.

“Brittney Griner, the remarkable 6-foot-9 presence in the WNBA, regarding her gender identity. Regrettably, many have misconstrued the facts, assuming that she is transgender. It is crucial to clarify the record: Brittney Griner is not transgender. She is a cisgender female who openly identifies as a lesbian.”

Sounds like she is just a virtual Xgender in presentation.

I'm so done with racial division

For that, I blame Obama.

With all those sports accomplishments, A’ja is just another racist who doesn’t like a white girl getting attention in “her” area of expertise.

As Chris Rock said, “There’s a black civil war going on, and there’s two sides: Black people and Ns.”

And White Liberals side with the Ns, because they are easier to control, and help keep said White Liberals in power.

Wilson did not until this past week

Maybe she should have got off her ass and hustled a bit ... instead of sitting at home waiting by the phone.
