Why do so many people on this site care about a Women’s basketball league and obsess over a woke, groveling player that constantly acts like she is in a struggle session?

It’s the strangest thing to me.

It’s about overt racism by a bunch of black women against the absolute best player in the league that is white and the league front office continually turns a blind eye to it.

I for one hope she leaves causing the wnba to go bankrupt....and the sooner the better.

Back in 2017 Pittsburgh Steeler (and Army combat veteran) Alejandro Villanueva bravely walked onto the field during the playing of the National Anthem. The rest of his team stayed in the locker room as a BLM protest.

It was an inspiring sight.

Oops, Villanueva said soon after. I didn’t mean to do that. I apologize.

Villanueva must have been subjected to great pressure. Same goes with Caitlin Clark today. Perhaps it would be a bit much to expect her die on a hill when even Villanueva folded.

You clearly don’t follow Clark and what she’s put up with. If you knew anything about her, you’d know that she gives millions to charities for under-served kids, including donating basketball courts to small towns. The description of a “woke, groveling player” is probably referring to Angel Reese, not Caitlin Clark. If that’s not the case, then you are very ill-informed on the subject.

“ a woke, groveling player that constantly acts like she is in a struggle session?”

Have you ever watched her play?
Yeah she made a couple of comments that a slight bit of “groveling “
But that was very minor .

She’s very hard working , doesn’t make excuses, doesn’t complain And has some serious talent.
Yeah the WNBA is a odd league filled with strange characters

We didn't put up with racism when Jackie Robinson was dealing with it.

And we shouldn't tolerate it when it comes to Caitlin Clark.

I grew up in Connecticut. Since losing the Whalers, UConn Basketball, especially women's, and WNBA are the local sports there.

My tax guy has season tickets to the WNBA.

Caitlan Clark is a great talent, and that alone is worth of attention. The fact that she is a dominant player but is mistreated is an interesting story to many, but also a fable.

In men's professional sports, there is a competitive code of sportsmen, with some variation between the sports (golf is less "dirty" than rugby). Most men's sports pay well, and the status of being a professional sports player is very real. The chance of getting cut, suffering a career ending injury, or being traded into a bad situation is also real.

The WNBA doesn't confer the same kind of status. If a girl tells her pal that her date is a backup safety on the Carolina Panthers, her pal is impressed. If a guy says he's taking out the starting Center for the New York Liberty, his pal will be taken aback, and then ask how tall she is, and whether she likes men (Rebecca Lobo is the exception, a feminine woman who dresses and carries herself accordingly, and found very tall man).

The WNBA pay, by necessity, is going to be low compared to the men for obvious reasons. That means many WNBA women will take a job nursing, in real estate, teaching, law, business, whatever. There is NOT a lot of pressure on these women to behave, because they don't have that much to lose (unless they bring illegal drugs into Russia).

So, the women who play in the WNBA are among the best t what they do, and they might be bitter because they want more recognition. Asa group, they ACT like the ENTITLEMENT CLASS that they ARE, because they don't bring in as much money as they cost. There is a natural inclination for such to not admire talent that breaks past that, but resent it. (Matthew 21:38)

"...woke, groveling player..."

Bingo. Caitlyn Clark is a grifter, let her go live in a country where she won't feel "white privilege". Nothing like selling out your race for commercial endorsements. Good riddance.

She’s a woke one? I may have to recant my earlier post. I thought maybe she was getting picked on because she wasn’t “woke” enough.
