University of Iowa women’s basketball sensation, Caitlin Clark, will break the women’s all-time scoring record sometime in the coming week and maybe on Sunday?
But not everyone is excited for her.
Caitlin Clark went to Dowling High School in West Des Moines and then was recruited by the University of Iowa. In less than four years she has broken several all-time records in women’s basketball.
As ESPN reported Clark is averaging 32.2 points per game this season and is 39 points shy of breaking the record. For her career, Clark has: 51 30-point games (including 14 this season), the most by a Division I player in the last 25 seasons ** 15 triple-doubles (including four this season), which ranks second in D-I history behind Sabrina Ionescu (26) ** 11 40-point games (including three this season), the most by any D-I player over the last 25 seasons
Iowa women have sold out every game this year at Hawkeye Carver Arena, the team has sold out 11 away games. It’s all due to the Caitlin Clark phenomenon. NEVER has there been a female basketball player that has been able to bring so much attention to the game.
But not everyone is happy for Caitlin. Baskeball legend Sheryl Swoopes recently attacked Clark with several misguided statements Jason Whitlock responded to the nasty attacks on Caitlin Clark. Whitlock suggested the attacks were because Caitlin is a white, Catholic, straight girl. And, Whitlock suggested she would have been embraced by the female players if she were a black lesbian.
Here's the lovely Cheryl Swoops. And she was such an inspirational coach too!
Loyola fires Sheryl Swoopes after investigating claims of player mistreatment
"Loyola’s lengthy investigation into allegations of player mistreatment by women’s basketball coach Sheryl Swoopes ended Sunday evening with a three-sentence statement announcing Swoopes has been fired."
Women look retarded playing basketball.
Just imagine if some Charles Barkley type decided he was a trans-woman and went about smashing “women’s” collegiate records. We would all be told to take him seriously. Caitlin is the new Riley Gaines.
“ Only woman player worth watching”
Apparently you’ve never seen a UCONN game.
Iowa is nearly 88% white. At least for that state, an all white team in any sport is probably fairly standard.
If she’s selling out 15,000 home arena, she’s worth way more staying for 5th year and going pro with max salary is $250,000. Hopefully she stays where she’s appreciated most, and they pay her appropriately.
Why are they always so ugly?
Sheryl is crap!! She's a black lesbian and she doesn't want Caitlin Clark to break her record.
Suck it up, buttercup! Caitlin will have it...
Caitlin Clark is a great player and seems to be a good person off the court. Her biggest problem right now is that she’s at the end of her college career and may have to take a big pay cut when she turns pro. Ain’t NIL wonderful?
At the rate we’re going, the NCAA will extend college eligibility to ten years and Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State will be outbidding the NFL for players. The tv networks will love this, as will the gambling interests.
Caitlin Clark will presumably land enough endorsements to keep her stocked with peanut butter sandwiches, but the WNBA is a subsidy operation used by the NBA to purchase a bit of political cover, given the off-the-charts degeneracy and misogyny of the NBA’s player culture. No one cares about the WNBA. Women’s college basketball, at least at the competitive schools, has fans who actually do care.
Ugly inside and out...hate themselves and take it out on others. Can’t pass up a chance to talk trash because they are trash.
What’s even worse!
Caitlin Clark is a Republican!
She even held a fundraiser for DeSantis!
How can she be allowed to play?!
She’ll get a bunch of endorsements though, so she won’t be hurting for money.
It’s a self-selecting process.
Ugly—>Resentful—>Bitter
She is not a lesbian.
She is actually an openly devout Christian with a Christian boyfriend.
