I hope Caitlyn Clark marries Kellen Mond


Neah. She don't have a choice, she's going to go lesbian.


Well, she certainly acts uncomfortable in that dress.

The WNBA was most certainly not built on the backs of black players.

It was built on the backs of all the players, of all races, that can't hit a 5 foot jump shot.


In reality it's built on the backs of men. WNBA would be gone tomorrow if the NBA wasn't funding it

EVERYTHING is built on the backs of men. Women just like to boast and roar.

Just a few minutes ago,I was having an argument with my wife about it. She was complaining that I laugh at women as "DEI candidates" and that I "demean their achievements".

I said it is not just I who does it, many do. If women don't want to be laughed at, they should say that they are strong and brave and do not need DEI to push them through.

Then my wife gives me a sob story about how women are victims.

Well, serves me right, to discuss anything with a woman. That is one area I admire Muslim men. They don't put up with this feminist bs.They overdo it, absolutely. But no woman runs roughshod over a Muslim man like they do with emasculated beta Western men. Women love masculinity that modern Western men have lost. Actually all non-Muslim men have lost this in their constant simping.

And less than 2 days later the WNBA is already whining about her again. The culture wars will continue.

Just proved what Jennings had said on that CNN roundtable. She will learn that no pointless groveling would satisfy the resenters badgering her.

This makes me sad. My youngest daughter loves Caitlin Clark, and we have really enjoyed watching her play these last few years.

I get a kick out of people claiming she surpassed Pistol Pete's college scoring record. Unless she played in a different league (Men's basketball) she actually has zero points in men's college basketball.


This. 95% of high school varsity boys would smoke her ass 1:1. She would have been hard pressed to beat me 1:1 at her age and I was a backup varsity player.

95%? Yeah, that's a bit of a stretch. Maybe at big schools with really good programs. I think zero percent at our small school could beat her.

Caitlin Clark: WNBA:: Tiger Woods: PGA

Some fans show up just for one person

In this case, from what the reporters have shown at the games, tons of little girls are showing up because of her. And because of those little girls, their parents take them, which just adds to the number of people in the stands and on TV/streaming.

I remember seeing hundreds of thousands to millions of views on YouTube of the games she was in. Truly a Taylor Swift-like effect.

Why would they, or anyone, stop watching her because of what she said? It's not as if she came out and said she was pro-abortion or child sex trafficking.

Or is this one of those "not an inch" to anything not right-wing Christian/maga conservative?

I don't blame him. I don't think it's wrong to stop supporting someone's art or skill because they come out with a position that is abhorrent to you personally. For example, I used to love watching Curb Your Enthusiasm until the episode where Larry pees on a picture of Jesus (or maybe it was Mary, either way). I found that to be personally reprehensible and have never watched another episode since.

Maybe he doesn't want his daughter looking up to someone with her views. I wouldn't want that.

Not this. She's promoting/perpetuating a racist fallacy. It is harmful to every little girl that buys into it because of her. Has nothing to do with MAGA, Right Wing, etc. It is morally reprehensible and harmful (not to the extent of abortion and child sex trafficking but still harmful to society as a whole).

I get that, as well as Hungry's Ojos point. I have done the same with artists in the past.

I guess my thing, now that I think about it, is if his daughter, having heard what she said, still wants to look up to her because it aligns with his daughter's views. Should she be allowed to still watch and support her?

What part of what she said is harmful and morally reprehensible to our society as a whole? Is it what she said about African-American players or her saying she felt that she had white privilege?

Apologies if this has already been addressed, but I'm told by someone who is actually on social media (I'm not) that these viewpoints are consistent with her social media posts and likes/retweets over the past few years. Can anyone confirm?

Perpetuating the "white privilege" fallacy is harmful and racist. Now that you mention it, pretending like someone is getting rich off the "backs of the poor oppressed" black players (who put up the money, pays the bills, suffers the losses, takes all of the financial and legal risks?). I love how in the same sentence she says she earned everything but that there is "white privilege". The sooner that people promote meritocracy and quit blaming failures or successes on the color of their skin, the world would be a better place. Privilege exists but is not singular and is sometimes earned, it is omnidirectional and multifaceted.

White privilege being seen as a fallacy will always be that to certain demographics in this country. It's just a reality for them.

Still, that you can admit that privilege exists at all is much more than others on the right would ever say. To many, that;s a start.

Didn't say we were going to stop watching. Just disappointed she said that. You're right, it wasn't anything worth canceling her over.

Until this thread, I never thought about it either, because life is too short to be upset about what others say.

Me, I love watching Caitlin play, but I've never really paid attention to what she says unless it's about the game itself.

That doesn't take away from the fact that it's Okay to say there are people who have privilege.

My grandparents were dirt poor share croppers. My Dad busted his arse for 50 years building the roads you drive on. How was I privileged where others were not? The answer is that I had a two parent household where I was loved and taught personal responsibility and the value of education.

It isn't because I'm a certain race or ethnicity.
