Sparks rookie Cameron Brink: 'There's a privilege' for WNBA's younger white players
Yahoo ^ | June 5, 2024 | Jack Baer

Discussion of the WNBA has reached a fever pitch this week, and not for entirely positive reasons.

It might have been bound to happen as Caitlin Clark proceeded through the league's most high-profile rookie season, but Chennedy Carter's shoulder has sparked a referendum on the nature of WNBA stardom.

This league is going to destroy its one chance in decades of existence of becoming relevant. No Miss Brink does not have white privilege. She has pretty privilege.

Where would the PGA be if they had not embraced Tiger Woods?

It is a DECISION not to act as a “GHETTO-POTAMUS”, not a privilege.

These bozettes have had exactly this message drilled into them all through grade school and college.

Who would you rather see, one of those "nappy headed ...." player or a decent looking female?

And I could easily be wrong here as I've watched a WNBA game (and can count the # of NBA games I've watch on 1 hand), but from targeting highlights I've seen recently it appears Catlin is being double and triple teamed more, which allows her to pass to open teammates. Has her team scoring gone up?

Some black churches have filled the heads of generations of people with a message of hatred for all white people.

It started back in the 1700s and 1800s and still continues to this day.

Obama's old preacher in Chicago, Jeremiah Wright ("G-D America"), is a perfect example.

Preaching hatred was always considered an effective release valve for the frustration of black people. But, as anyone with a brain could figure out, preaching hatred has undesirable consequences. We are now seeing the results.

Cameron Brink is trying to ingratiate herself with her black peers.

She sees what they are doing to Caitlan Clark and doesn't want any part of hard things.

Talented player, but I would question her motives (integrity).

I stopped reading the article when I noticed that the author capitalized “black” and not “white.”

Cameron Brink’s privilege comes from being the godsister of Steph Curry. That relationship has opened doors for her, gotten her props. Caitlyn Clark has earned her accolades the hard way. She played in the B1G and is used to being roughed up
The part that comes hard is her teammates (except for A Boston) have abandoned her.

"Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns."

Some of these teammates are their own worst enemy.

Time for Adam Silver to get involved. The WNBA gets $25 million a year from the NBA in subsidies.

Hmm. I wonder why?

Let's ask Chris Rock.

The word starts with s.

The United States did not create slavery. Slavery had been part of human existence since humans began forming tribes. Slavery was brought to the colonies by the British (Spanish and the French) and don’t forget slavery was part of the Native American culture long before the “white man” came along.

Slavery existed in the United States from 1783 (creation of our nation) until 1865 when the 14th Amendment was passed to abolish slavery. A total of 83 years.

The United States paid a price in blood and treasury to end the practice. Any sins associated with the practice were absolved by paying that price.

When the slaves were freed in 1865 they were in no better or no worse then many others living in the United States at the time. A time when every new immigration group was discriminated against (Catholic, Jews, Irish, Italians, Scots, Chinese and so on).

The Jim Crow laws and the KKK were for the most part in the Southern States and many blacks moved out of the southern states where they had a chance to a better life.

I guess it is a question for those that study such things but why are blacks the only group that have not seem to establish strong community roots and flourished in this land of opportunity?

A big reason is LBJ's Great Society Programs.

If whites kept black slaves today he would have a point. Whites are the only ones who have unshackled them. I’m tired of being blamed for someone’s incompetence and failure. It ain’t yt’s fault. Pull your head out of it and pull your pants up. Half of the violent crime in America is committed by 6% of the population. Discipline your children before society has to incarcerate them as adults. Decent people of all races are tired of hood rat nonsense. This only ends one way.

Sine s ended nearly 200 years ago, the preaching of hatred should also have stopped.
Liberals are using black anger to achieve segregation and leaving blacks thinking they are privileged to have their own spaces.

...but there is a privilege that we have inherently, and the privilege of appearing feminine. Some of my teammates are more masculine. Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns.

So trans have to be welcomed into women's sports, but women are not welcome in trans' sports?

A bar unattainable by most in the WNBA.
