GUESS WHICH WNBA PLAYER HAS LARGER HANDS THAN LEBRON JAMES???

IF YOU ANSWERED BRITTANY GRINER-—YOU WOULD BE CORRECT.

THAT “PERSON” IS NOT A FEMALE FROM BIRTH

Any black players taking cheap shots at Caitlin Clark are not only racist, but also extremely stupid. And that goes for any white players who join in on it.

During the five games Clark missed due to injury, the attendance and TV audience for her team and the entire league was down 52% and 53%. She’s brought an amazing number of new fans to the league and it isn’t simply because she a white superstar. There are many white star players around the league. The current champion NY Liberty has two white all stars: Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.

Clark is drawing new fans because she is a dynamic and charismatic new talent. She makes passes I’ve never even seen an NBA player equal. The opponents who take cheap shots and try to tear her down are fools who might well end up cutting their own throats and trashing the best chance the WNBA has ever had to become a far more popular and financially profitable league. - And that would mean bigger paychecks for all players.

Everyone pre judges others. It is a survival mechanism

Very true but skin color is a far less reliable indicator than dress and demeanor.

Her first season she was statistically the worst passer in the game. I watched one game and she was threading beautiful passes. Her teammates looked like they were playing in slow motion, balls bouncing off their chests and hands. Each time one of those oafs botched the receiving end of a pass the scorers credited Clark with a turnover.

TBH, our biggest problem is accepting the concept of “different races” in the first place. We are all “one race”, a human race, just a palette of colors, a spectrum of DNA variants.

That said, we are also tribal and feel more comfortable around people with similar features. This also leads to subcultures. Are all subcultures equal? No.

Black men are 8% of the population and represent 50% of all murders. Something is wrong.

It’s also very easy, apparently, to convince sub-groups that they’re a ‘victim’ because it encourages an entitlement attitude of getting something for ‘free’ due to the ‘injustice’. This can be the ‘wage gap’ for women, or ‘slavery’ for blacks. Neither are true. Modern black people live like kings compared to anyone in history and conveniently ‘appropriate the pain of slaves’ onto themselves, while projecting onto white people the ‘guilt of slave owners’ - all to claim white people ‘owe’ black people. If anything, black people should be ecstatic that their ancestors paid a heavy price for their privilege to be here. They are the lucky ones, what they make of it is purely on them. That or just go back to Africa, which is very easy to do today, unlike when their ancestors were brought here.

The reality in this world is that nobody owes you anything, especially the world. The sooner you learn this, regardless of color or gender, the better you are.

Typical academic argument. Hate has no relationship to exploitation.

Whether it’s racism or prejudice, it’s still obnoxious BS.

It’s human nature to judge - what is, and what is not good for you.

We all have prejudices. There’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s when we use it as a weapon to get our selfish way that it becomes wrong.

Hard to stop watching the games when I never started. I have never watched a WNBA game and I can’t recall watching a NBA game either. I will continue to “not watch”.

Visiting space aliens surely must think that basketball is the religion of all black Americans.

Yep, her teammates muff some good passes and Caitlin will miss now and then because she makes so many passes into very narrow clearances. But she also led the league in assists during her rookie year, last year, and top assist makers will always have some turnovers mixed in.

The Fever scores a lot better when she's in there making baskets and passing out assists.

The WNBA has a bunch of racist black women who are ruining women’s basketball. They are so stupid and violent they are allowing their envy of Caitlin to destroy their own league. You couldn’t pay me to watch them anymore.

The most vile, disgusting racist people I have ever come across were black or brown.

Did you ever meet a slant?

They HATE each other more than they hate the round eyes.

They look down on us, but the vitriol they have for each other is beyond description.

Until you've seen it, you cannot believe it.

I played pickup basketball one summer with two young ladies who were varsity starters at Ft. Hays State University. I really think they could be more ruthless on the basketball court than any of us old men. I’m like whoa girl, just here to play ball. She did help me to my feet though.

The cultural marxism of the left just inflames the situation.

I think we were finally starting to turn the corner before Obama got elected in 2008. We've regressed since then although in 2024, many folks (including minorities) are catching on to Democrats' dirty tricks.

I totally agree. It is all about behavior and social culture, not skin pigment. The democRATs try to push differences to provoke conflict (cultural marxism).
