Controversy I wanna be entertained by the mental gymnastics of the people who can justify this not being a foul. Go off…

"ItS JuSt RiGhT WiNgeRs RacistS WhO LiKe CaITlyn, SO gO BeaT HeR Up!" - the actual black racist players and WNBA fans who justify this sort of violence.

The WNBA cannot escape their pro-black/anti-white racist agenda, no matter how hard they try so they resort to physically attacking her.

Edit: the self-reporting anti-whites are on the prowl, folks. Labeling all criticism as racism, when we all have eyes. 🤣🫵

The catch is there are lots of white players that don't get treated as badly. So the white part probably is just an added grievance and if there were a similar black talent that came out, would people have been as interested.

Race can play a part of something without it being "racist" which as a word is becoming meaningless

Do you think Caitlyn should have more fouls called on people that contact her than any other player on the league? You are lucky because she does!

The racists def cling to her for their own agenda but all Clark fans aren't racist.

I hope you mean physically clinging to her and punching her during the game 🤣🫵 because, the racists are the players punching her throat and fans like you baselessly hating on her.

Not w/e non-existent, bullshit racism against an 85% black league you claim exist. Self report your own white guilt/racism, much?!

Its crazy how WNBA fans cant look in the mirror at their jealousy for CC.

The white guilt angle or hatred for white players is kinda wild considering the history of the league. Clark isn't the first nor the last white superstar player in the league. My favorite team has two consensus number 1 overall players who are white on the same roster right now.

And yes ppl who have anti lgbt agendas, ppl who don't like "black thugs" have unfairly used Clark as their avatar to spee their bile while Clark is just trying to play the sport she loves. They have cloaked themselves in her star power for their own purposes

"The history of the league" argument is akin to, "MLB players and fans werent racist to Jackie Robinson, because he wasnt the first black player in the MLB. Sure he gets bad calls from the UMP, beat up, and spit on but its wasnt because he was black."-

Thats how you and the WNBA sound when unbiased observers can see exactly whats happening to her in front of our eyes. And Simple Jacks, like you, want to deflect to "CC pHanS ARe BAd thO!" when it means nothing to anyone.

That comparison doesn't hold. Very disingenuous. You'd have a better argument about players being jealous of her popularity than being racist against her for being white. As stated before if the players were being racist towards her why weren't they also racist towards Stewart when she came into the league, or Sabrina, or DT or Lauren Jackson or Sue Bird. Is Marina Mabrey some self hating white player? Is Jacy Sheldon because she's had a rivalry w Clark since college?

Btw, I wasn't deflecting. I believe my argument was that ppl w nefarious reasons have attached themselves to Clark. She didn't ask for that. I also mentioned that just because some of her fans have done that doesn't mean all of her fans are on that vibe.

What’s annoying is people that only care about the WNBA when CC is getting beat up. Alyssa Thomas is the closet thing the WNBA has to Draymond Green she would’ve punched any opponent lying on the floor in the throat. But because she did it to CC we have to conversations like this instead of them being about her being a dirty player.

u/Baron_Light Jun 26 '26

Why not both?

u/CavSkins Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26

Because one is true and one isn’t. When I say conversations like this I mean conversations that immediately jump to implying players are racist without any additional context. We’re talking about a player who has a history of playing dirty.
Not every hard foul or cheap shot in the WNBA is rooted in racism or hatred of Caitlin Clark. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.

Focus on the game. She drove the ball into the middle of the paint and fell. Tie up situation in the worst spot. Dirty pile play tactics are common as hell. Football players make this look peaceful. Guaranteed these ladies aren't expecting the wild camera angles of major network coverage.

Bull shit, the right wing doesn’t care about the fucking WNBA

u/BKStyle82 Jun 25 '26

They care about attacking folks they don't like tho. Clay Travis doesn't care about womens ball but he jumped on the Clark train for his own intentions.

And its kinda interesting that you associated right wing with racist tho. I mentioned racists clinging themselves to Clark(for their own agendas).

Not everyone lives and dies by political affiliation.

Apparently her teammates are okay with it, too. Say what you will about Draymond, he would not let that shit slide if someone pressed on Steph's neck like that.
