Rookie resentment doesn’t happen often in the NFL (It's about Catalin Clark)

Caitlin Clark has brought unprecedented attention to women’s basketball. And plenty of women’s basketball players seem to resent her for it.

Clark took an away-from-the-ball cheap shot, possibly preceded by this message from her assailant: “You’re a bitch.”

It’s a bizarre situation, to say the least (The more responsible move is to not escalate the situation, and to let the powers-that-be handle it. It remains to be seen whether the powers-that-be will.)

The writer, Mike Florio is a coward for not calling it out more. Brings up Reggie Bush to change the subject. Calling the "situation bizarre' without the racial angle. Let the 'powers-that-be handle it when they didn't. EMBRACE the rising tide lifts all boats? No no no. The fact is the black players resent the attention she's getting not to mention the endorsement millions. They need Katalin Clark and they are biting the hand that feeds them. Sound familiar?

*Maybe WNBA players should think about that before trying to sink Caitlin Clark’s ship.*
It’s the WNBA’s ship not Clark’s ya spaz.

Katalin Clark will earn the black players more money as well as the whites. The might even start flying first class thanks to her.

I don’t recall white golfers resenting Tiger Woods when he came onto the scene. Jackie Robinson yes but tat was yesterday.

They don't care about that, it's the Crab Bucket mentality, they are only happy when everyone is equally miserable.

Yeah, Charles Barkley said these ladies should be thanking her for what she’s done for the game instead of being jealous fools.

She played AAU Basketball from 2009 through 2016 and was scoring at a high clip. Clark’s father famously said he couldn’t find a girls league for her age growing up so he had her play with the boys. Clark ended up winning an AAU State Championship with those boys and was the pivotal piece on the team.

Hmmm.

The worst thing they did was make the rookies stand up and sing their alma mater during lunch, like they did to Brian Piccolo.

*Maybe WNBA players don’t like the taste of reverse DEI?

Florio is an anti-gun liberal

The replay is all over Twitter and other social media platforms, basically the opponent scored, Caitlin Clarke as the point guard was waiting on the inbound pass, when a woman from the other team shoulder checked and knocked her off her feet.

It was clearly a racial attack, Angel Reese is on the opposing team and she jumped up from the bench and was cheering her teammate for decking her.

Caitlan Clarke is white, reasonably attractive, heterosexual, and a really good basketball player, the league is full of black lesbians who resent everything about her, and the league won’t put a stop to the cheap shots.

The other disappointing part is not one of her teammates came to her defense, one of them should have run up there and let that woman know that doesn’t fly around here.

Something like that should earn the 'assailant' a lifetime suspension from the league. Should send a very big message to the rest of the players in the league.

Or, perhaps Caitlin should start identifying as black. People eat that kind of stuff up.

The black players were telling her the blacks rule here. Get it? She will face resentment just like NBA legend Larry Bird did with verbal taunts and physical encounters. So much for America’s multi-culturalism.

They are doing this because she is white. Don’t think otherwise.

She should change her name to Jackie Robinson.

Caitlin Clark is THE REASON the WNBA is breaking all-time audience records this year.

X is going crazy after the abuse Caitlin took Saturday during her game against Chicago. Chennedy Carter slammed into Clark from behind! Clark had no idea this was coming! pic.twitter.com/de8raNYlvv— The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) June 2, 2024

Women are catty, it's their nature.

Imagine Caitlin Clark is stealing all of their resources. So all of a sudden, they have nothing.

It's one way to look at this through evolutionary psychology. Even though, Caitlin Clark is good for the league, they feel threatened by her.

Too many truths here that will never be brought up in a public discussion. It’s too late.

How many successful black run countries out there? The path forward is not being taken. How many generations will it take? How far back did the Great Society set them back by defining deviancy down?

Wasn’t Caitlin Clark offered a ton of money to play somewhere else other than the WNBA? I guess by doing that she wouldn’t have received the shoe contract.
