Time 2024 Athlete of the Year Caitlin Clark
Time dot Com ^ | 12/10/24 | Sean Gregory

Posted on 12/11/2024 7:36:03 AM PST by mac_truck

Few jobs require less physical exertion than rebounding for Caitlin Clark. On an early-November morning in downtown Indianapolis, Clark, the two-time college national player of the year for the University of Iowa, reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year from the Indiana Fever, and emergent American sports icon, sprints to different spots along the three-point line at the Fever practice gym, trying to bang as many shots as possible over a six-minute span. A Fever coach has tasked me with standing under the basket to retrieve her misses. But as Clark runs all over the court to launch long-range bombs, I barely have to move. Swish, swish, swish. She hits 14 shots in a row. A dozen in a row. Eleven in a row. Swish, swish, swish. Nine in a row. Another nine.

Not kamala? She ended up being a champ at running in circles and ending up last.

GREAT player!

I love watching the WNBA, but I’m a fan of defense.

In the Gateway Pundit article, "Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee to Woke Culture: TIME’s ‘Athlete of the Year’ Says She Benefits from ‘White Privilege’ and Says WNBA Was ‘Built’ on Black Women Players," Clark proceeds to lose a large portion of her fan base by what she says in her Time interview.

So long, CC, it was fun while it lasted.

Surprised they would pick a white athlete.

Unfortunate that she caved to the race hustlers about her "white privilege", but still:

After her workout I fill Clark in on the statistics from her shooting session: 93 three-pointers in six minutes, good for an 85% success rate.

That's just ridiculous. And if you've watched her play, she can hit very deep three-pointers while moving, fading away, etc.

Proof, if needed, that those hormones indeed rot the brain.

Anybody can shoot 3-pointers unguarded with enough practice.

That’s why it’s ruined the game.

However great this young woman is on the gym floor, she cancels any hope of a loyal following by having joined the woke culture.
She has lowered herself to the “Lowest common Denominator” by bending her knees, not standing for herself and her sport, and groveling for the love of the black women who hate her.

“SO LONG, CC?” YOU BETCHA!

And a straight one at that. I feel so sorry for the lesbos and transgenders that have been disenfranchised.

heavy sarcasm

I suppose. And there are players with higher 3-point shooting percentages, but Clark brings more than that to a game.

Exactly. I’m thinking Time made this choice conditional on her going woke. Which she did.
