Yeah sure agent smith. The better one is in the matrix, the more they’ll come after you. She’s good.

She gives almost as much as she gets sometimes.
No doubt...
She has the nerve to be a non-criminal white girl, and that is disrespectful to other players...
The nappy-headed hoes don’t look kindly on a honky chick making them look bad.
Words? Trash talk? Gestures? These are the slings and arrows from CC that instigate on-court tackles, eye pokes, body checks,
and outright grabbing and hand fouls?
If her speech and gestures are on par with the physical damage induced, then why isn't there a category of foul to deal with it?
Stephen A always talks like his head is on fire. I never take him seriously but he is fun to watch while he explodes.
In the NBA, this kind of physical harassment is kept down by the fear of retaliation. “You go after our star, we go after yours.”
Clark has an inherent trait called skill in basketball. She's a "natural" and performs at a level above all the players who came before her. That, alone, is not self-inducement; it's who she is. To suggest that she must tone it down and don't excel so much above the others in competitive sports is ridiculous.
She has another inherent trait that she can't control -- she's white. She can't "tone" that down, either, nor should she.
If Smith is suggesting that her mere presence on the court invites the reactions against her, I have a diner stool in Selma, Alabama to sell him.

Trash talk has been part of professional basketball for many years. One of the reasons the WNBA has failed in it’s efforts to compete with the NBA is it’s lack of appearance of thugery. As basketball has lowered itself from a game of finesse and grace to muscle and violence, the women’s game was left behind. There were no dunking players, no muscling to the hoop, and no one to be the enforcer. That is changing. But while Clark was recently out for a week for an injury, the seats wee unfilled. The drama was not there so neither were the audiences watching the gladiators hit each other.
And the funny thing is the NBA players are defending her:

But it is very obvious that there is no covering it up when 17% of the flagrant fouls in the league are in her at 17%. That’s one player receiving almost 1/5 of all of them directed on her. So the women would rather attack their meal ticket? That ain’t bright. It’s just creating violence under the name of sport. Maybe not so good for primary education girls to see this? Don’t we have enough girl violence without making it a sport?

I don’t need to state anything except this chick is a Black Belt in Taekwondo and she plays on the same team as Caitlin.
Parental discretion is advised.

Would these same women act like this if Clark was black?
Awesome!!!
It is her own damned fault for being better than the rest and for bringing more money to the league than anyone else could.
‘ All you need to know about this is by answering this question.
Would these same women act like this if Clark was black?’
Would FR be talking about Clark if she were black?
No, because there wouldn’t be the animosity - or the high tv ratings.
The NBA would still be subsidizing the WNBA to keep it from folding.
Yeah. You surely nailed it.
Lol.
“ She gives almost as much as she gets sometimes.”
They attack her, she plays defense then lights them up for 35.
