Is the WNBA Afraid of Caitlin Clark?

She’s quite melanin deprived.

Racism with heterophobia is not a good look for a league in desperation for solvency.

I don't think Adam Silver cares. He'll rather be woke than to expand the business in the WNBA.

A whitey showing all the big mouthed posers up. Isn’t there a law against that yet?

[hal ogen]

Noone who is not a woke racist lesbian watches this pathetic clown show.

[Bullish]

I’ve never watched one minute of it. Just not interested in a bunch of nappy headed lesbians taking jump shots. I am enjoying reading about the stupid phony hypocritical wokesters being totally shown up by a white chick though.

Like millions of others, however, I started watching golf only because of Tiger Woods.

Even though Rush Limbaugh adored him, I'm no fan of Eldrick Woods--I refuse to use his nickname. I lost all respect for him when he made up a story about being bullied by his white classmates in kindergarten--a story that his teacher and classmates said was untrue.

They had a moment of dyxlexia when they created the league. It was supposed to be the NWBA, for No White Bitches Allowed.

[Migraine]

Larry had to fight; so did Tomjanovich.

Well, if Kaitlin wants to be accepted by the lesbian-black-league-women,

she could help her cause by...

meeting them half-way, and...

becoming lesbian or at least doing lesbian things part of the time...

Yeah, she can’t become black, but the lesbian thing...

would be half-way.

It’s like the old saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans.

She's from Iowa. And from a good family. So they won't be able to pressure her into becoming a lesbian.

I’ll make four observations:

1. WNBA crowd numbers for 2023...averaged at 6,615 per game. NBA? Just over 18,000 per game. Clark and the Heat for this season? Selling out almost every home game (17k seats).

2. If you sit down and watch an entire WNBA game (big-screen TV)...you will quietly notice a ton of turning the ball over, and traveling situations...none of which are called by the refs. I can probably count a minimum of 30 occasions per game. It’s to the point of bothering me....this crappy style of play, and the officials do nothing about it.

3. Watching after-the-game interviews...very few of the WNBA players can articulate what happened or provide analysis of the play. It’s like asking 4th grade kids what happened and you get stupid commentary. Rolling of eyes in these interviews? You probably see this at least three or four times for each interview.

4. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think Clark will last 2 seasons and exit the WNBA (retire), and a year later...be part of a start-up ABA-like league (out of Iowa, Kansas and Missouri) and drop all connectivity to the NBA or WNBA...finding that various networks are more interested in it...than the WNBA. After 3 years of this...half the teams in the WNBA are folding up...economically unable to operate with the lackluster crowds.

Nah. She should coach at Iowa (or at one of the states in the Great Plains).

Caitlin should have a meeting with her teammates, who haven’t really have her back, and tell them that she will get them in commercials if they help to protect her and work to be like the team she had in Iowa. They would start to win and they could make big money. The girls in Iowa kept giving her the ball, which got someone open. They need to do that now.

Caitlin should have a meeting with her teammates, who haven’t really have her back, and tell them that she will get them in commercials if they help to protect her and work to be like the team she had in Iowa.

If that does not work, demand her coach to be fired. Otherwise, ask for a trade.

This reminds me of the scene in the movie Heaven Can Wait where Warren Beatty's character, an NFL quarterback who was prematurely taken to heaven by an angel is returned to earth in a multi-millionaire's body.

As the millionaire, Beatty buys his former NFL team and demands a tryout for the QB position. During his tryout, the team conspires to undermine him and the offensive line refuses to block and lets the defense through to tackle Beatty over and over.

In real life, I believe this also happened to Tim Tebow when he was traded to the New York Jets in 2012. Either the Jets were just a bad team, or the offensive line refused to protect Tebow, because he was never given the protection to give him time to complete passes to receivers.

I fear the same thing is going to happen to Clark. Her teammates will not protect her, are too poor players to get open to receive passes, and will let the other team swarm Clark until one day she gets critically injured and can no longer play.

Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Roger Murdock: I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.
Joey: You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.
Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.
[Kareem gets angry] Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

[maddog55]

In a word YES they are. Their black lesbian privilege is being threatened by a white heterosexual better player.

[I want the USA back]

How could anybody be afraid of her? It’s HATE! She is White and Straight, plus she won’t bow down in abject submission begging forgiveness for being White and Straight.

But she’s just a symbol. The true target is ALL Whites and Straights who won’t kiss the ground under the feet of our new masters, the lgbtcrap+ mob.
