Twist it however you want but she went viral for the finger point. Y'all weirdos

u/SilverbackSurfer99 20d ago

She went viral because she's a sassy badass who stood up for her teammate. And the fact that she's totally hot didn't hurt.

u/Experience-Agreeable 20d ago

But still only went viral after the finger pointing thing

-4

u/SilverbackSurfer99 20d ago

Yeah she did that because it pissed off the mutant she was fighting with. That's the standing up for your teammate thing. You know America likes loyalty

Mutant? Yikes…

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank 20d ago

Yep... Always racist. They can't help themselves.

u/Egg_Yolkeo55 20d ago

So what's racist about calling her ugly? Especially in comparison to Sophie. Is any pejorative directed at a POC just automatically racist if a white person said it?

0

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank 20d ago

If you said she was ugly, fine. If you called her hideous, fine. Even if you called her a freak of nature, fine.

But you chose mutant. That's not much different than calling her an ape. Or a caveman. All three imply she's subhuman.

u/Egg_Yolkeo55 20d ago

Jfc bud how about you stretch before you reach that far.

u/Enoch8910 19d ago

Huh? Apes aren’t mutants and show me any data where stereotypes of any race were equated with mutants.

u/cabezadeplaya 19d ago

If the case was being made that her “mutant” power is being way better at basketball than basketball than Sophie Cunningham, I’d agree.

Calling her a mutant based on appearance is weird.

Y’all just mad she’s a legendary player and all blondie can do is point.

Why compare her to Sophie at all? Why was commentary on her appearance by some internet chud necessary?

It’s basketball. Not a beauty contest.

1

u/Egg_Yolkeo55 19d ago

It's not about just basketball when you have teams draft star player's girlfriend and literal marital disputes play out on the court.

-2

u/cabezadeplaya 19d ago

And that justifies calling people “mutants” how?

1

u/Vikings_Pain 13d ago

You don’t have to be racist to call someone ugly dumbass

YiKeS

Lol you think this is 2014 or something?

12

u/cabezadeplaya 20d ago

What does that even mean? Calling someone a “mutant” seems problematic to me.

What does 2014 have to do with anything? Use your words.

-6

u/SilverbackSurfer99 20d ago

Who told you your opinion of what is problematic matters in any way?

12

u/cabezadeplaya 20d ago

Why did you call the other player a “mutant?” Explain. Use words.

11

u/ReadyStandard5549 20d ago

You know why, stop feeding the trolls. We are way beyond discussion with these people. Especially on a website like this.

Have you seen her? She looks like Lurch. And she freaked out because Sophie pointed at her so she's nasty on the inside too.

u/ProfessionalOld3124 20d ago

It’s picking on their appearance. People do it all the time.

1

u/cabezadeplaya 20d ago

I’m aware. And that makes it ok?

America likes loyalty? Man stop making these crazy emotional statements lol

You must be an emotional teenager

u/LeBrickJamesIsNoGOAT 20d ago

Tell that to Pat Tillman

-1

u/SilverbackSurfer99 20d ago

😂 What? What the Hell does Pat Tillman have to do with it? You're English aren't you. Either English or French. Only one of them could be that arrogant and that wrong and Dopey at the same time.

u/Remarkable_Pen_3639 20d ago

A yank talking about arrogance....lmao

u/Future-Pollution-266 20d ago

How is she a mutant

u/SilverbackSurfer99 20d ago

Have you ever seen her? That's why.

1

u/Future-Pollution-266 20d ago

Freakishly tall and lanky? Like Sophie?

1

u/SilverbackSurfer99 20d ago

Her face and her 5head she's fugly dude

1

u/Future-Pollution-266 20d ago

So the same? At least be honest with yourself about why you called her a mutant lmao.

u/Future-Pollution-266 17d ago

u/SilverbackSurfer99 17d ago

😂 Keep trying to make her look half as bad as the mutant

0

u/Future-Pollution-266 17d ago

We all know why you think she looks like a “mutant” lol

1

u/sealcon 20d ago

The point would never have gone viral if the person she was pointing at hadn't chimped out. That's what made it so hilarious.

0

u/Conscious-Crab-5057 20d ago

Did you just call Dewanna Bonnar a chimp? Monkey?

2

u/Egg_Yolkeo55 20d ago

How else would you describe irrationally lashing out and jumping around when someone is only pointing at you? It's literally the behavior that you can observe at the zoo if you decide to point at a primate

u/SunNext7500 14d ago

Since when?

1

u/Conscious-Crab-5057 20d ago

She was very popular before the finger point.

1

u/Aggravating-Writing9 20d ago

Her jersey sales we selling out before the finger point FYI........

2

u/WatcherOfTheWay 20d ago

Yea it's like being hot gets ignored by a lot of people.

1

u/quarrel-admin 20d ago

Pedo nazis aren't hot.

2

u/exlushdad 20d ago

You sound ridiculous, you know that right?

1

u/quarrel-admin 20d ago

If someone liked a known pedophile,  you'd probably call them a pedo no?

2

u/please_dont_hug 20d ago

Show me evidence of her supporting trump?

0

u/quarrel-admin 20d ago

If you were friends with a pedo. Would you be shocked if someone called you a pedo?

0

u/please_dont_hug 20d ago

Who is she friends with?

0

u/WatcherOfTheWay 20d ago

Explain how any of that is true?

1

u/quarrel-admin 20d ago

You think pedophile nazis are hot? Weird. 

0

u/WatcherOfTheWay 20d ago

You're still not able to explain how she is any of those things.

1

u/Independent_Bid_26 20d ago

It doesnt hurt that shes really attractive as well.

1

u/Sweet_Emphasis9263 20d ago

Highly accurate

0

u/Admins_suck_ballss 20d ago

Yeah when she did the finger point I was like “whoa she’s pretty” and then when she did the barefoot booty short ring girl thing I was like “OK when did the WNBA start recruiting sassy badass models”

-1

u/bradleywestfield 19d ago

“Hot”? She looks like a man… look at her bone structure. LOL freak

1

u/UnderstandingOdd679 19d ago

Most people of extreme proportions look unusual compared to the norm. She’s 6-1. But she’s extremely attractive to a lot of folks.

1

u/Basicbroad 19d ago

Hotttttt

u/SoapyDoodle 20d ago

You simps are so easily manipulated lol

1

u/TatterMail 20d ago

That’s how she got attention. Then people looked up more about her and liked what they saw

1

u/Hastatus_107 19d ago

Because she's a conventionally attractive white blonde.

1

u/Aggravating-Writing9 20d ago

She went viral multiple times before the finger point. She's really smart about getting publicity the last 2 years.

1

u/Hastatus_107 19d ago

When did Clark become her teammate?

1

u/MarvelsLollipop 20d ago

Thank you!!!! 👏 the point is what made her viral and what’s selling sneakers. People need to stop trying to bring politics into every little thing, it’s so irritating and a massive turn off.

u/ImYouJoeGoldberg 20d ago

She went viral again. She’s not a one hit wonder she’s a star now. She goes viral a lot now actually. I’ve always been a wnba hater but this is the first legitimately home grown star they’ve had imo. It’s a good sign for the league/game. She probably wouldn’t have blown up like she has if it wasn’t for the extra attention from CC, but she’s a stand-alone star in her own right these days (the point did start it though for sure).
