[And Caitlin Clark hasn’t been complaining. People just see what is going on. But you had to try and denigrate Clark, didn’t you?]
No criticism implied. Just pointing out that it’s not that big a deal. She’s maybe the team’s star player, so the opposition will try to knock her out of the game, or at least off her game so they can win this particular outing. She likely sticks out a little more because she’s relatively new, and a ton of publicity has centered on her. Envy probably plays a part. The new kid on the block is always going to get flak, especially given all the established players who think they’re not sufficiently appreciated. The fact that rookie’s getting a ton of endorsement deals is not going to sit well, regardless of color.
Look Zhang Fei, you pull that crap in men’s basketball and you have a riot, and then you have injuries that affect the outcome of the season. Women’s basketball has got to hire the equivalent of the Celtics Jim Luscutoff.
