There haven’t been that many flagrant fouls in the first place so this is incredibly misleading but on brand for you. The number of flagrant fouls on her does not differ drastically than the number of flagrant fouls on the person who lead the league in flagrant against them last year and the majority of those flagrant are literally from one team.
No one is watching her get roughed up more than other players who watched more than just the Indiana Fever. The Pistons literally had Jordan Rules and that had no effect on the growth of the game.
The better question to ask is that if it was a black woman getting roughed up, would they react the same way? That’s the actual question.
No, the folks getting behind her are disproportionately her fans from her Iowa days that transferred over to the WNBA the way college fans used to follow their favorite players who spent 3 years on campus and then went to the league. To the contrary, these people don’t actually watch hoops besides her and their entire existence is antagonizing anyone seemingly opposed to her. For example, the nonsense about most of Reese’s rebounds being from her own misses that occurred once she made rookie of the year a competition.
Sure, bringing eyes helps grow the game - o question. But it has led to unnecessary hate their way. It is no different than the hate any white person who has had a critique has faced. The league is just mostly black and gay so they get it the most. It’s essentially how you dare you be aggressive towards her on the court or not kiss her ass or act like she is God’s gift to earth. What made every other face of a sport great is that their opponents wanted to beat their ass out there and they talked like it too. Anyone who has any competitive energy towards Clark it becomes how dare you say anything about her ever. You simply have this purest arrogance about yourself and so you ignore the obvious because you like Caitlin’s game. She is a great player and her white bread fans suck, two things can be true. She is great for the game and her greatness has also fostered unnecessary hate towards anyone who opposes her, again - two things can be true. Every great had antagonists, this is the first time we’ve been told how dare you clown or talk bad about our savior. nikkas said Shaq wasn’t good he was just big. They called LeBron an overrated crab dribbler. They shytted on Kobe, called Steph a frontrunner, etc.
For whatever reason I didn’t get a notice when you quoted me but I caught this going back in the thread. We are all grown enough to know how stupid this looks without me going into a “in real life” spiel. The “snarky internet gotcha” shyt was cool on message boards when I was 15. But thanks for confirming my point you doofus. I’m basically a higher learning poster - no one would confuse me for engaging in stan wars. You were just being disingenuous as fukk and “above it all” and made the mistake of thinking I’m one of these other stans you can talk your way around - I’m not. The next time you quote me down your pretentious tendencies and keep it under 60 words - no one who types posts as lengthy as your is successful enough in life to catch an attitude with me.
”…is just inane.
