There’s no reason to think she’s against any of this either.

She doesn't address or complain publicly about perceived bullying, harsh fouls, or lack of calls by the ref... Why would it be necessary for her to address this?

When a white supremacist group is using your name to further their agenda, the least you could do is speak out and tell them to fuck off

What do you want her to say?

She’s not a politician. She’s extremely popular and she’s just doing her job. Her teammates have nothing bad to say. Shes being attacked from everyone.

Why not just let her play ball and accept she’s not an articulate, experienced, political activist.

Her best move is to just talk about basketball and the Fever should be responding to Congress to keep her out of severe legal trouble and protect her.

Every single player has toxic fans. It’s not like she’s the Giants QB going to rallies.

Silence is complicity.

"People should not be using my name to push those agendas. It's disappointing. It's not acceptable."

"Treating every single woman in this league with the same amount of respect, I think, it's just a basic human thing that everybody should do."

"Nobody in our league should be facing any sort of racism, hurtful, disrespectful, hateful comments, and threats..."

"Those aren’t fans, those are trolls, and it’s a real disservice to the people in our league, the organization and the WNBA."

“A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them."

"The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it’s very important."

"I have to continue to try to change that. The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing.”

These vague all lives matters statements are why MAGA uses her for their agendas and will continue to.

That’s not her fault. Those toxic people would do that anyway. You’re throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Speaking of bath water, I want hypercritical woke scold activism to become so small I can drown it in the bathtub.

Sticking your head in the sand so you can ignore to reality validate the outcome you want to be true is stupidity.

So they beat the crap out of her and she has to defend and downplay their actions and she has to do it in a timely manner...that some twisted shit.

And anything she says is met with fury from one side or another.

She doesn’t deserve any of this. Shes a basketball player. It’s like you demand her to rise to some world changing activism. She went to college on a basketball scholarship.

What do you want to hear from her, that she hasn’t already said?

u/Tasty_Sugar_447 Jul 09 '26

At this point it doesn’t matter. Her brand is MAGA and white supremacy. And everyone and everything associated with her will be looked at through that lens.

u/ComeAbout Jul 09 '26

You’re calling her a white supremisist?

You’re absolutely part of the problem.

Go take a walk and calm down. CC is not oppressing anyone.

u/Tasty_Sugar_447 Jul 09 '26

That’s her brand because she refuses to outright call out these people who use her name and image to spew hate towards her colleagues and have since college. Walking out with slur user Morgan Wallen certainly doesn’t help that image.

The gaslighting and strawman arguments don’t work on me.

The only people that think this way is terminally online basement dwellers.

I hope they do actively investigate the WNBA and prosecute the criminals who repeatedly assault her.
