The elephant in the room is that it is mainly a racial/jealousy thing. White giirls don't often care about the sport as much anymore and aren't expected to be the best. Caitlin is stepping on toes.
Weird take. 3 of the top 5 players in college last year were white with Clark, Bueckers, and Brinkley. Ionescu is probably the best player in the WNBA right now
There is a very racist element to basketball right now that is pretty one-sided. Kind of interesting that the pendulum swung that far in 40+ years but it has. You can see it play out in college especially where there are black women coaching, including our own school. Hardly any white players or staff on those teams. It's striking.
They really are pissed that a white girl is getting all this attention and feel they were all overlooked. It's personal to them.
Brought my daughters to watch an A&M women's game and got courtside seats right by the Aggie bench at a very unattended December game. There couldn't have been more than 200 people in Reed that were not working or playing. Those 3 girls cheering for our team the whole game and completely ignored by every player and coach before, during, and after the game. And I know that would not have happened if they would have been 3 little black girls. Odd strategy for a sport that needs to grow fans to survive. Do not tell me there's not a bad racism problem in women's ball.
Chennedy's foul was over the line but not all that bad. Her response after the game is what shows her ass bigtime though. Bush league answer. Cardoso's eyeroll and scoff and the coach immediately deflecting show they all hate Clark getting any attention.
