Caitlin Clark goes woke

They don’t know Doncic. But I bet more than a 1/5 of them would know Luka Doncic if he went to and graduated from Iowa. I bet some would even stop and watch some NBA games of his when they were on.
Maybe. I don’t see it too much with Keegan. Not that he’s lighting the world on fire or anything but I think you’re giving Iowans too much credit on bball. It’s a football/wrestling state. Most don’t know shit about the NBA & it’s blatantly obvious when they try to talk about it. Clone fans are much more knowledgeable about hoops than Hawk fans, sad as it is to say.
 
I haven't watched her since she gave Swift a thumbs up about supporting Harris. She's a talent but it doesn't mean I have to spend my $$ supporting her. You reap what you sow.
Like you
Don’t need to, I’ve got eyes to see and ears to hear 🤷‍♂️
Despite that, you lack self-awareness and aren't very bright. You oversimplify complex topics to suit your opinion.

That’s because the clowns have had much better success the last 20 years compared to iowa.
Keegan isn’t anywhere close to being a popular NBA player. Plus I think it will be tough for any iowa player to get the same attachment from Iowa fans because dominant men basketball players will only be here for a year or two apposed to Clark being here 4 years.

Or a racist like you.
You in a meme…

You are super deep reading CCs quote and JuJu has huge contracts. And I’m gonna tell you a secret if Aja Wilson starts shooting 30 foot three-pointers and whipping one handed passes cross court, up court, behind the back, driving to the rack and exploding up and down the court she will be more marketable, period!!!!

 
Like you

lol…and that’s your over simplification. Look we can do this all day. Ultimately, the mainstream is where I want to be. And the mainstream acknowledges our past, that we can do better, but we are much further along the path than the fear mongers preach.

At the end of the day I believe Martin Luther Kings words fit here.

I know I’m not yet the man I should be, and I know that I’m not yet, with the Lords help, the man I one day will be, but thank God I’m not the man I used to be.

Folks like you are finger pointers, you believe you are somehow more enlightened and virtuous than others. Your not. Just by raw human understanding, we know you too have prejudice, bias & presuppositions. Personally I’m glad there are people like you to teach the rest how not to be 🤷‍♂️

But your "mainstream" gets tired out from all the racism and privilege accusations, apparently.
Something those of us actual mainstreamers don't appear to have any problem with...
 
I like Dave and I have yet stumble across anyone that can make him look bad. I don’t listen to him much because I really don’t enjoy political pandering, but he’s smart.

And if you’re attempting to discrete him, let’s just remember that’s what people do… They tear down the opposition because they don’t like what they say🤷‍♂️

God bless you if you think dave rubin is smart. I think he sounds like a poor man's tim pool. And ive heard him say a lot of really dumb stuff

So, multi-year league MVP doesn't get the contracts CC does, because...???
That doesn't exhibit a "white privilege" to you?

A'ja certainly wasn't able to build a name off NIL, but there certainly is a race factor here. CC understands this and seems to wish it were not the reality she lives in.
Even dummies like you know who CC is, she can’t walk down the street without people knowing it’s her… Wilson wouldn’t need witness protection, most people couldn’t pick Wilson out of a lineup of all Wilsons.

there could be a line up of Beyonce’, Serena Williams, Whitney Houston, Halle Berry, and Wilson and people still couldn’t tell you which one is Aja

Of course you do 🤷‍♂️ you don’t share his ideology. I’m sure you don’t like Candice Owen’s, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan , etc either. What’s new

Meh….that’s a bit of a reach. Keegan & Kris are the ONLY reason I watch the NBA, if I can find their games

This thread, holy shit snowflakes everywhere. Let me guess, shut up and dribble. **** off
 
That's not being woke ... it's just being reflective and considerate.

The majority ethnicity in this country is caucasian ... and there are distinct advantages that go along with it. If you're a talented white athlete in this country ... you're usually going to get proportionally more attention than your black counterparts. Of course, some folks erroneously peg this observation as a reflection of racism ... but it's not ... it's simply a result of (unconscious) in-group vs out-group sociological dynamics ... and a reflection of a "numbers"-game. Of course, imagine for a moment that you're an exceptionally talented athlete who is not white ... and you see yourself getting less attention than other players (of comparable talent) simply due to your appearance. Were I in that situation .... I know that I'd be irritated about it.
Ummmm

The 3 Biggest contracts in MLB history belong to Juan Soto, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani. All 3 are foreign born non whites in a league that is predominantly white, with predominantly white fans.

The 3 biggest contracts in the NFL are Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott and Jordan Love.

The 3 biggest contracts in the NBA are Stephan Cury, Joel Embid and Nikola Jokic.

That’s 1 American born white dude and 1 Eastern European out of the top 9 salary wise in the US. I think minorities get a fair amount of attention. These dudes get paid because they are winners and put butts in seats.

I’m curious what advantages white athletes have over non whites?

That’s not related to what I said. Not about what she’s “won”. I’m talking about the level of her celebrity/fandom based on her race. Which does play a factor in it. One has to be either ignorant or intentionally obtuse to not see that.


So your saying, black Susan Sizemore from Iowa, who broke every record in the land, shot from 32 ft, took a proud, but upper mid tier program to the holy land twice, wouldn’t have been hugely marketable?!

Magic Johnson, in 1980 wasn’t hugely marketable? He was at least marketable enough to get a white country boy from Iowa to think Larry Bird sucked and Magic Johnson was the greatest basketball player of all time?!

Jordan, wasn’t marketable, Serena Williams and Tiger Woods, who surely have to be two of the most marketable people in the history of sports….

Really ?! Hmmmmm….. every day I find out most of what I believed isn’t true anymore. I have to check with the academics to make sure.
 
Yeah, all those "middle of the road" kinda thinkers! 😂


Dude…,seriously, the left went so far left that it completely changed the paradigm.

Here’s what some of you apparently still aren’t getting. The popular vote for the first time in 20 years and one of the few times ever elected a Republican. But not just any republican, they elected a loudmouth, belligerent president who many suggested continually that he was racist, misogynistic, etc., etc..

He won the election in a landslide, I disliked him so much. I nearly didn’t vote & this man won..

The far left or pretty much middle left and over is a whole new island, hell it’s not even an island. It’s a whole new galaxy..,these folks that you’re thinking are far right honestly, they are the middle of the road now. You apparently have no clue that there were droves and droves and droves of long-term Democrats and minorities that voted Republican because they are so damn tired of the stupidity

Let that sink in… It’s actually the one huge lesson I gained from this election. And it’s actually the only thing about Trump that I do like he helped expose the stupidity.

Quite frankly, the people that you mentioned, these are people that care for others they’re empathetic they lift people up. They treat people with courtesy. They just don’t suffer stupidity.
 
Of course you do 🤷‍♂️ you don’t share his ideology. I’m sure you don’t like Candice Owen’s, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan , etc either. What’s new

Ideology aside, Dave Rubin is pretty dumb. He's not good at explaining his ideology. He's probably the least talented highish profile media personality to do the "i didnt leave the left the left left me" grift to sign on for paychecks from conservative benefactors. He seems about as dumb as Joe Rogan (with half Joe's charisma) and dumber than everyone else you mentioned.

I have to tell you the truth I don’t listen to him enough to know if he’s “dumb” but he doesn’t seem to have unusual talking points, and Joe Rogan who incidentally, I also don’t really listen to very much seems crafty and probably way smarter than people think…

I don’t make that mistake anymore.

I’ll confess I used to really like Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro but I don’t have that kind of time in my life anymore… I only reference those other people because I do have to admit seeing nut jobs whining about the election and some of the crazy ass shit they say has captured my attention on YouTube in the last couple weeks…

I mean these “end of democracy” and “my way of life is over” folks make me chuckle…

I’ll tell a story on a hard-core Republican, not a Trumper because even my mom doesn’t care that much for Trump anymore but… Four years ago when Biden won the election, she called me crying that she hadn’t prayed enough…

I’m a man of Faith, but that kind of crap irritates the hell out of me and it was all I could do to hold my patience. I said mom, what are you saying, you didn’t pray enough?

Well, I just can’t believe that Biden would win… I said hold on a second

“ you mean to tell me that the God of the universe, the one that we believe, hung the moon & the stars, the one we believe sees from beginning to end was “tricked” or “surprised” that Joe Biden won the election”

As you can see, I can be just as snarky to my mom as I am to these dopes on the message board.

I said the truth is God doesn’t get tricked… And although you’re unhappy about it, how do you know what he plans to do with Biden as the president God can use anybody good, bad or indifferent.. and clearly it was his intention that Joe Biden won.
 
The real question here is why does anyone on this board pay attention to or care what happens in the WNBA LOL?
Trash league, trash product. Ill hang up and wait for when CC comes back to coach in some capacity at Iowa.
...says the guy who comes to a message board and posts about people posting about the WNBA. Lol.
 
It's a little disappointing she did it. Her work ethic is insane, and to discount all you've put into making yourself one of the best players in the world is a little sad. White girls shouldn't have to feel like their success is just a product of inherent racism. I just wanted her to continue playing ball and staying above the discourse.


I didn’t read that in there at all

"Clark is cognizant of the racial underpinnings of her stardom. “I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege,” says Clark. “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.”

So disappointed she bent the knee to the woke mob and a league that hates everything about her after being apolitical up to this point.
You don’t like a hard dose of reality? What did she say that you don’t agree with? Or is it just the subject matter?
How familiar are you with the world in which #22 lives?

Serena Williams, arguably considered the greatest marketable athlete for black women, had a total net worth at her peak of what Caitlin Clark made just with the Nike deal alone. CC is well on pace to eclipse Serena’s peak. Thanks for trying.

Hmmmm, time/inflation didn’t have anything to do with that…..

Michael Jordan made 3 million a year. Super dumb take. MJs 1st Nike contract was 5 yrs for 2.5 million. I seriously just don’t understand people’s inability to sniff out potential pitfalls for their arguments ahead of time 🤷‍♂️

Not exactly many moons ago.
