The Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry is becoming a mirror for American bigotry

I thought nobody cared but the YouTube videos have millions of views

Is that CC in the middle? She must be a woman.

[dfwgator]

I did differentiate between an individual sport and a team sport.

[dfwgator]

You can take time off for having a baby and come back after that, or retire then have babies like Serena Williams did.

But what guy is going to put up with that, and have to wait until she’s in her 30s to have babies with her?

[Antoninus]

[SmokingJoe]

A woman having babies in her 30’s is fine.
Clijsters did it as did Serena and they both had excellent sports careers.

[MinorityRepublican]

A woman having babies in her 30’s is fine.

Not ideal. She's no longer in her prime. And she's not as fertile.

[GSWarrior]

Or not.

[SmokingJoe]

She’s very fertile.
And at 35 of course she’s in her prime, just not for certain sports.

[bigdaddy45]

What a bunch of nonsense. Clark is a generational talent, and Reese is a hack. Just watching the two makes it obvious. Or so I’ve been told. I wouldn’t watch the WNBA on a bet.

[dfwgator]

An average high school boys basketball team can beat the best WNBA team.

[JimRed]

Nice smiles.

Here’s another one: Female plumbers.

Black hockey players.

“There is no rivalry. One is a superstar, the other is a has been before she was even a never was.”
Exactly.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And how does she keep her professional job?
B being a member of the Hansen family. (hockey reference)

[Gil4]

“sent her opponent spiraling to the floor” // Reese has 3 inches and 30 lbs. on Clark......I call bullshit.

A slap at the ball followed by a grab and twist with the right hand. A pretty good push in the back with the left. The description was pretty accurate.

[Skooz]

It's not racial when the white girl gets fouled by the black girl, but when the black girl gets flop-fouled by the white girl its "worse than Pearl Harbor," as the Commies like to say.

Bingo. Reverse the races and no one would notice, much less write an article about it.

[rlmorel]

"Who own da Chiefs?"

[Claud]

LOL

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Okay, WHAT.
