Pooped. Leagues’ fault for the schedule. Clark’s Fever had played the day before and this marked 11 games in 20 days for her. Only one other team played as many as 9 games in that stretch; defending champs just played 6. Hers is youngest team in league yet since joining them they haven’t had time for one normal full team practice.

Meanwhile 22 is the new 42. Clark takes all the this with the grace of Jackie Robinson. While the old WNBA whined their audience share — and pay — didn’t look like America, it did look like their diversity. Rookie Clark is drawing unprecedented attention and marketing dollars, but had also drawn more fans to her games — by a factor of four IIRC. And, even though as yet rarely winning, she is delivering the promised spectacular plays. The envious haters wanted fame and fortune, for looking NOT like America. Letting in an exemplar of All-American values upends their bigoted tiny club and shows what the reverse of their values are worth.
