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.
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.
