I can personally say I’ve watched 2 WNBA games in my life. Her first 2 outings were to sold out venues, I was actually surprised at the amount of white players. Some of these women are actually damn good.

I won’t be happy until men are playing in the WNBA

You've never heard of Brittney Griner?

“The customer is always right … except when the customer likes a heterosexual white woman.”

And this, my friends, is why the WNBA hasn’t been able to draw flies in more than 25 years, and is doomed to fail.

The black girls are eaten up with jealousy, and it just keeps getting worse.

For Christ’s sake. Does this really matter? She’s where she is because she is very good at what she does. Forget about sexuality and all that gender crap. It’s sports, not Hollywood.

Pay no attention to a woman who does not know the difference between tampons and earrings.

Since she didn’t get the full college experience, maybe she should get some her tuition refunded.

“Jemele Hill has branded Caitlin Clark’s fame and success partly ‘problematic,’ as the ex-ESPN personality”. Could it be Jemele that Ms. Clark is a very good basketball player and you aren’t and never were? Where I grew up we called that: “woulda, coulda, shooda”.

Blame black men for that, since so many of them can’t be bothered to stay around to raise the black children they father, and blame black women as well, who spend way too much time trying to look like white women.

It’s surprising that a black woman is playing a game invented by a white man.

“Black women are often erased”

Rage, because no one wants to look at them?

It’s that white hair these white chicks have. Jemelle and people like Joy Reid at MSNBC, they can wear all the wigs they want....but in the morning.....it’s still some serious nappy going on. They hate it.....so they project.

I’m telling you.....it’s the hair.
