She's basically been forgotten
her team doesn't even exist anymore.
She's on record with how broke she was/is
Remember when the WNBA 1st started Swoopes
Lisa Leslie
Rebecca Lobo
They were the 1st stars, then Swoopes got pregnant and Cynthia Cooper was leading the Comets and getting all the shine.
Swoopes had a signature shoe with Nike
Houston won the 1st 4 WNBA championships. And now they don't even have a place to hang those banners to show those accomplishments.
And now they pushing this little white girl as if she invented women's basketball. So yeah Swoopes "feels a certain way"

This is the real answer, OP.

Because Sheryl Swoopes has been quiet all these years between her era and this one, when Diana Taurasi became the logo
and nobody cared. Now WNBA is going up, and she might not be on Mt. Rushmore anymore.

CC is the white girl equivalent of Venus/Serena or Tiger.

Not sure why people get all weird when white girls wanna follow CC but gave no fukks before her. It's not like brehs were jumping up and down for Ben Crenshaw or Ernie Els when they nailed 10 ft putts for par on Sunday.

SS is just hating because she feels like CC is getting undeserved love when better players got nothing. I "get it" but CC is proving she can ball.

A white female from flyover country that's NOT a lesbian but CAN ball? That's $$$$$ in women hoops. Imagine a white female that looks like peak ScarJo but she could sprint like peak Shelly Ann Fraser and was American. White girls would be at every damn high school track trying to get next.

Because they love the attention and hate seeing someone else get the spotlight.

It's like when a new employee shows up and is a fast learner on the job. They start getting praise and newer staff that aren't learning as fast walk past you to talk to them and get their advice. As a veteran you feel disrespected even though the new worker hasn't confronted you or spoken ill of you. It feels like they're getting too big too fast and makes you wonder about how people see you.

Athletes tend to take shyt personally. The same attitude that allows them to be competitive, turns them into haters that can't stand to see a young person doing what they did and getting the attention they didn't get. The same resentment that fuels them to improve, turns them into some hatin-ass mf who cant just let someone else get some attention.

Clark is a good player, but I'm not shytting on Sheryl Swoopes, who accomplished much success such as being a 3× MVP, 4× champion, 6× all-star, 3× DPOY, 2× scoring champ, 3× Olympic gold medalist, along with many more WNBA and collegiate accolades, stuff that Caitlin can only dream of doing in her career if she has even had that kind of longevity.

If Caitlin was black, she'd just be another great WNBA player among the others, and sadly nobody would care. The same people getting all tight and defensive for Caitlin in this thread wouldn't have that same energy, let alone even care about the league in the first place, if she was Black. A lot of people don't want to acknowledge or admit it, but it's true. It doesn't take away from her greatness, but right now, she has that Larry Bird, Nikola Jokic, etc. “great white hope” energy behind her.

Swoopes is a winner with a hall-of-fame career/legacy while Caitlin is unproven with nothing on her resume outside of a few collegiate records and NCCA tournament losses. Sheryl isn't hating, people just don't want to hear the truth because of their biased stanning.


Naw Sheryl was hating and lied on Gil podcast
