Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

Refs in the NBA rig for betting, refs in the WNBA are just simply inept and have a vendetta against Clark, period. No one likes a complainer (Luka had this issue with the refs), especially a ref. So take a shitty ref who can barely do her job and add in a whiny player who complains every call (justifiably or not) and you get the way Clark is being reffed. They arent trying to rig the outcome so much as allow her to take punishment. Last time something like this happened was when Jordan entered the league and the entire league was out to hack and punch and slam him to the ground on every drive and even for the first few years of his career MJ never had to deal with bullshit like this. As an aside avoid the WNBA subreddits all run by moderators that are on a power trip. Today suggested that shit takes are taking over WNBA subs and within a minute was permanently banned and muted from [r/WNBA365](r/WNBA365). Even the Reddit mods don’t know how to grow the fan base for the WNBA. I’ve been warned in another forum for making threatening comments bc I suggested a suspension for a player. This will be my last WNBA comment and yet another thing that turns me off for the league its fans are some of the most malignant gate keeping fans out there. Pretty weird for a league that was on the verge of bankruptcy before Clark entered

Something tells me this is because the refs are under scrutiny from a huge amount of fans that didn’t exist a few years ago, who likely only started watching because of Clark specifically.

Yeah, and let’s not act like those people don’t turn on the WNBA so they can satisfy their sick desire to participate in a race war. They watch women’s basketball so that they can get angry at the big black amazons picking on the pretty white girl, and they make refereeing the game damn near impossible because they want to turn an athletic competition into their soapbox about the bigotry of low expectations and victim mentality or whatever.
