No idea what you’re trying to say.
“No idea what you’re trying to say.”
Many people are trying to say this is a racial thing. It first came out when she was not invited to the Olympic tryouts. Others say it is jealousy and resentment.
Some observers suggest a degree of resentment from some veteran players towards Clark due to her immense popularity, endorsement deals, and the media attention she receives.
There have been problems from many about officiating concerns. There have been complaints about the officiating, with some feeling that Clark isn’t receiving adequate protection from referees, and opponents are getting away with fouls against her. So it gives the league a problem even though I think they invited it just like they did in the NBA starting in the mid to late 50’s when the first of the real violence came out with the signing of Bill Russell. He got hammered and ejected a number of times in his first couple of years.
But the league started using the violence as a normality and as each team started to feature particular players the league only protected them with not fouling them out even though they were just as violent as the people that used an enforcer to belt them.
When the WNBA goes down the road, if it remains financially sound, and more players get into different teams and the league sets loose the thugs to hammer them, it will become common place just like it did in the NBA which has nothing to do anymore with the game and the talent of the player performing. It’s just a combatives within the out of bound lines and sometime outside them. So as the women got bigger, faster, stronger, and were able to dunk, all that was left is the violence to cash in on the NBA’s financial format. Clark is the first of that breed.
But people were asking why it was happening. And saying it just is what it is is not explaining why. It’s hiding the plan with double talk.
