Clark's deal apparently shows black WNBA players aren't be treated the same as white players.

Hmmm ...

Want to be treated like Miss Clark?

Be as good as Miss Clark!

Clark is a phenom. Who cares about anonymous WNBA black players? This guy doesn’t understand the first thing about marketing.

People get shoe contracts because they are popular, good players and are in the MSM and they sell tickets and move the needle. The WNBA for the most part has no stars anyone can even think of other than Brittany Griner and she really isn’t that good of a player. She can’t even sell tickets for her team.

What if Michael Jordan had been a bust of a NBA player, that Nike contract would have been Null and Void.

Ms Clark better have her head on a swivel during games, I suspect one of her opponents will take an opportunity to clock her and try to knock her out.

Pro sports is racist. Far more minority players on the field and the court.

Can’t Wilson get a deal from another brand? Or is Nike the only one that counts?
