“White privilege” has become one hell of a convenient excuse for judging people by their skin color while pretending you’re against judging people by their skin color.

Are we surprised she thought she could get away with that shit this year?
Plenty of WNBA fans believe if you say something they disagree with, reacting violently in response is justified.
These people are mentally deranged.
That was a violent foul. Anyone that doesn't think so is incapable of rational thought and civil discourse. Granted the comment section doesn't generally bring out the best or the brightest
You are talking about folks that think Karmelo Anthony was justified in his killing. Its not a very bright audience.
WBNA has to be the worst league we have. Lesbians hating on non-lesbian is rampant, hell even lesbian coaches protect their own and don't care what the outcomes are. I really hope a few ex-NBA players try it out. Would be glorious to watch, because w/out CC the league is terrible.
The WNBA has a hard foul problem. The league was built on fans (mostly middle age lesbians) who didn't mind games being defensive rock fights. Not too dissimilar from the old guys who are mad that football isn't 3 yards and a cloud of dust, or that's is illegal to try to knock offensive players unconscious now.
With the bigger audience and the need to grow with causal fans, the league has to change. They need to do what the NHL (and the NBA) did in the late 90s and come down hard to get the extra physical stuff out of the game.
Caitlin Clark is kind of the pivot point here. The WNBA isn't ever going to be a league of players flying through the air and dunking, but if you made it a league with spacing, ball movement and a bunch of players who could shoot from 30 feet it gets way more entertaining. The old guard isn't going to love that though
F16 only cares about this because of what she said that fits into the culture wars, but Cunninghams role for the Fever is to be the muscle that protects Clark. It's kind of a Liambeer, Rodman, Draymod kind of role. So she gives hard fouls and takes hard fouls and doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from the refs. But she keeps the other teams from roughing up Clark too much, which seems to be working well this year.
Can you provide an example of Cunningham giving a "hard foul" to an opposing player that is comparable to the clothesline takedown she received a couple of days ago? I am sure there are numerous examples. If Sophie is playing at that level as well I will reverse my opinion.
It's literally the opening story in this espn profile of her from earlier in the season:
One of the WNBA's biggest drama queens had a highly-structured upbringing in an affluent and Christian sports-focused family, and she originally planned to pursue her PhD when she started college at Stanford.

I am trying not to become racist/xenophobic, but it's getting kind of difficult, esp now that social media is not completely controlled by left winged lunatics who kept the truth and so much information suppressed.
I realize there are good people of every race and ethnicity, but damn it's getting tough to keep biting my tongue.
Spoiler: By Tuesday, DiJonai Carrington is going to claim people are sending her mean tweets and the media is going to demand Sophie Cunningham condemn it.
That’s how they will spin the story away from Carrington’s foul and post.

Drama sells tickets. People won't buy tickets to watch cruddy basketball. But they enjoy a cat fight! This is like All star wraslin! Kabuki vs Skandar Akbar. The Von Erichs vs Rick Flair! Probally all go have a beer together post game! Appeals to dumbasses and low rents!

Just a nasty nasty culture. What happens when you remove fathers from households for several generations.
Appears to be siding with her race over common sense and fairness. Sad. Another (better) choice would have been for her not to say a damn thing and stay out of it.

Again, if I'm the Fever this is exactly what I want on the court protecting the franchise player. But once you get that reputation, you keep it.
Can you post a video? You posted an article from ESPN. The video in the article is just her making 3's.
Poster is correct. She is Clark's enforcer.
So if I'm interpreting that correctly, things escalated following a cheap shot on CC that wasn't called that should have been?
So the real issue is bad and inconsistent officiating.
No, the real issue is one player acknowledging her behavior and agreeing it was wrong when she did it, while the recent player, also after an aggressive act, claims to be the victim and offended party.
No matter the situation or circumstances, the automatic response has become, "I'm the victim because of my identity." Whether about orientation or race, that's the extent of the argument.
18 pages of WNBA. if you told me this 5-10 years ago, I would have laughed my ass off.
yeah it should not have taken this long to get fed up with bad black behavior. #fatigued
This thread isn't really about WNBA. It's about racism and hate. These players asssult white players and usually don't get called for it. Congress even acknowledged it.

It could be that she was trying to make a joke off the word trans since it was a transition foul.

It's not meant for any interpretation other than as proof that Cunningham is an enforcer. Someone asked for a video of her doing something similar and I provided that video. There is nothing to interpret or any attempt to justify anything. The two videos are two completely separate incidents from entirely different seasons.

What's to justify? Someone on that team needs to be since the league is letting black players get away with blatant flagrant fouls against a white player. Violence is the answer
