Never said it was Soros funding them, poor reading comprehension on your part.

NBA is 50% owner of WNBA teams. You go enjoy being a spectator of inferior play. Whatever floats your boat.

The hammering of Clark is not racist.

**********************************************************

I agree with everything you said except the above sentence. The Left NEEDS racism to fund their insanity and won’t let it die. Obama rekindled RACISM in America, what’s going on in the WNBA makes that crystal clear.

What type of pathetic, disinformation thread is this?

Clark was blocked by a white woman, but you both made it racial. You even posted a picture of it.

Also, the block was beautiful and wasn’t a foul.

Nobody bothers to think anymore?

From the article:
It came a couple of weeks after Reese's Sky teammate, Chennedy Carter, brutally hip-checked Clark.

Women are typically jealous and petty. This is to put Clark in her “place” to remind her not to get uppity an initiation if you will.
Compare to Kate Maryim who has to tote a Hello Kitty backpack and endure other funny pranks. Very different
The Fever will come together as a team and the rest of the league will rue the day. Go Clark! Go Boston! Go Mitchell! This is gonna get interesting!

She would make even more money. Her popularity and skills could create a tremendous interest in international woman’s pro basketball. wNBA would become a lower division thug league...which probably RESENTS her 28 million dollar contract with Nike.
Either way women’s bball is ok considering the skills and athleticism of the players. None can dunk in a game. At least I haven’t seen one. Lots of underhanded layups. Easy path to drive to the basket. Decent form on 3 point shooting.Good passing. Lousy rebounding or putbacks. I think the league allows zone defense and more than 3 seconds in the lane. An inferior games vs the men, but not too bad, form wise. Caitlin can do it all. Needs a bit more muscle and speed...she would be unstoppable with a bit more speed and strength. She needs better teammates and coaches.IMHO

“...what’s going on in the WNBA makes that crystal clear.”

One of the problems with the WNBA concerning racism is that the acts they took prior to this didn’t do anything for the league except continue to go broke. They had shirts with BLM support on them they wore in warmup, signs on the sideline, and statements by the players while identifying themselves as a team member. The players of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream jointly signed a statement supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, which they assert is a “statement of humanity” rather than a political position. “We are strong and we are fearless,” the women wrote in the statement issued via their team’s twitter account. Three players, Renee Montgomery, Tiffany Hayes, and Natasha Cloud, each opted not to play last summer in order to focus on their racial justice work. And the only statement by any of the players was written in Global Sports Matters saying it’s in their DNA. And that is completely stupid. Their is nothing in DNA that promoted a political position. Even God won’t do that as God gives freedom of choice.

There’s no crying in baseball. But there should be no activism in basketball. If all colors are the same, why are they pushing for one in particular? These people are over paid players of a sport that is nothing more than entertainmment. It is not a place to represent teams for a social issue.

According to ESPN, in December of 2022, they determined that players of color make up 81.1% of the WNBA with Asian at 7.1%. That mesans that more than three quarters of the league is African American. The percentage of black Americans in the US by population is around 14%. A little over represented there but being used for poltcal statements that have nothing to do with them. Sports needs to remain sports and stay out of anything that can make it a political issue definer. And in this case, it will, if they continue attacking their selling player calling it racial, they will go broke with the lack of support they are trying to force.

maybe it is because those players really aren’t that good

apparently they are not, which is until very recently, no one watched wnba.

The black racists are so short-sighted that they are willing to fade back into obscurity rather than have a white player kicking their asses.

Yes, she is a biological woman; and also quite attractive. If she wasn’t such an idiot with her flagrant fouls against Clark, I could see her getting a few endorsement deals.

You are correct...Clark was indeed blocked by a white player...Not a black player...

During the play in question, Mystics center Stefanie Dolson reached out in an apparent attempt to block the shot. However, Dolson made contact with Clark's arm as the ball was knocked from Clark's hand. Some fans argued that Dolson committed a foul because Clark's layup attempt was negatively impacted by the contact.

She is white...And lesbian...

Watch the video, you’ll probably have to stop it by frame. No contact was made.

I heard a theory that one reason blacks don't demand the government do more about ghetto crime is that crime prevents gentrification.

Blacks would rather rule decaying black cities, than live in heavily white and Asian gentrified cities that are no longer black run.

Can you please post that video? Thanks in advance!

Haven't seen it yet--I mean, one documenting one of the attack-gorillas getting dumped after clubbing CC to the maple floor with her hairy paws--but if I do, I'll post it pronto with auto-play.

Btw, where the size disparity is that great, and the ethical disparity even greater, I would definitely approve the sentence I suggest for CC's attackers. I don't see what's not to like: No crime, no punishment.
