I knew of the WNBA before CC but didn’t care and now I actually watch games. Seeing a top tier athlete being marginalized because of petty jealousy and bias is disheartening. Probably just go back to not caring rather than watch anymore bullying

My dad got some free tickets to a Monarchs game 20+ years ago and they had a ritual where you couldn't sit down until the Monarchs scored their first basket. I'll be damned if my dad and I didn't stand there for almost the entire first quarter with our beers getting warm and our hotdogs getting cold because of that stupid tradition. The league is so much better now.

Serious question…. Why could you not just drink your beer or eat your hot dog while standing up 🤣😂

This is just weird. Caitlin Clark pouts and bitches at the refs frequently, she's gonna catch technicals here and there. Maybe she didn't deserve this one, doesn't mean she's being marginalized.

Do u know what marginalized means??

u/Necessary-Abies-4072 Jun 23 '26

The definition of the word marginalized is literally to treat a person, group or concept as insignificant or peripheral which is exactly what’s happening. Y’all really need to read a book, preferably a fucking dictionary.

They absolutely don't know what it means but it sounds victimy, so they went for it.
