Caitlin Clark goes woke

[cmhawks99]

Nothing says MAGA moron like telling someone that THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE is wrong.

Man, some of you guys just miss the trees….Im not a shill for this @2D_ and if memory serves, he’s one of the guys constantly bitching about the football coaches and probably doesn’t care for me but seriously where did he suggests CC’s experience was wrong…

That’s just made up bullshit. He suggested they don’t respect her and she shouldn’t pander to them (I don’t agree that’s what she did) but in no way did he suggest her experience is wrong…

that’s just a typical left-wing lunatic type of response….see how easy that is @oldhawk56 hence why I even said anything to you, it was unnecessary

 

[cmhawks99]

Your take for sure.
I'm not offended, he'll hell i don't even know u. And yes he personally cancelled just because he thinks she went "woke".
'Bout as MAGA as you can get.
But hey, you have a good one

No

"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.

I will. Nothing worse than White Guilt. I’m tired of this apology for how you born and what you accomplish. Fun fact: More Poor Whites than any race. More cops killed whitey than all other taxes combined. Been advantages for every race but whites since Affirmative action. Fvck off with this narrative and take. You sorry for being white that’s a you issue don’t clump all whites in. I apologize for nothing I haven’t done myself. Weak and soft. Fvck off CC

Hey I was thinking about you the other day. I have come ot the realization that topping lovers don't know what good pizza is because they mask the real flavor of the pizza with all the stuff they put on it. I've been like this since before Dave Portnoy started reviewing pizza. I've eaten pizza at some of the best places in the US. I've made trips around good pizza. I love pizza.

Occasionally, I'll do a light pepperoni, but everything else can take a hike.

God, you just instantly reminded me why I hate you.


And your pancakes suck.

 

[torbee]

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.

Millions of dollars and not being a dipshit like you?

I guess that's true.

I'm pulling an Airbud. You're Air bud because you're so good at sports. I'm the kid because I'm so boyish looking. I took you to an island bc I'm a little creepy. And now I'm telling you to GO AND NEVER COME BACK.

It's for our own good.

ALSO MY PANCAKES ARE JUST FINE.

She doesn’t care….and that’s the best part. She doesn’t even know you exist and you’re mad at her…

It’s the height of self-importance.

It’s funny really, I even get some of your frustration, but what an over-the-top take in this particular instance.

You know, both things can be true, there is a possibility the system was against Black people & foreigners and native Americans at a time, and it still be an overused almost cliché mantra in today’s world. I too have had struggles, I too get tired of hearing I’m racist and privileged….

I get you, but don’t take yourself to seriously partner

It will be interesting to see what happens to the "W" next season as far as the attendance and the viewership. I think a very large part of the success this year was it went from the NCAA season, to the tournament and then the WNBA season. It was constant coverage of CC, all of her perceived rivals, etc. Now we have a rather long break with just the NCAA and while JuJu and Paige are certainly talented, it simply isn't the same coverage/interest as last year, despite all the medias attempts to wish it in to being so.
We as a society are very much "out of sight, out of mind" so I'll be curious it things remain as they were, or start falling off.

With the types of seasons Ju Ju Watkins and Paige Beckers are putting together, I think it's just going to keep growing the WNBA game. It's a more interesting product to watch than the NBA at this point to me, and likely many others. The names on the NBA rosters outside a few megastars are mysteries to me as they are foreigners, one-and-dones from college and high schoolers. But we have already-developed rivalries - like the Reese-Clarke one in the WNBA - that grew because of them playing several years at one school in the NCAA.

 

[littlez]

LOL…. first, I’m not against you or trying to screw with you. I just didn’t see the need for the MAGA reference.

And second, you’re seriously going to try and say “me” quoting you calling him a MAGA hypocrite (because that’s what you meant) is a non-starter…WTH.

That is literally the start, middle and finish…

You said MAGA people were supposed to be against cancel culture… and he basically said be who you want, but I’m not watching it

And you, not me, YOU, referenced MAGA and then git offended by my hard-left mention.

Super strange…

You know you don't have to in every post bring up hard left or radical left people. You're a middle of the road guy, fine, just not sure why the need for every post to talk about the "radical left."

The only pizza I truly hate is hawaiian, but there is something to be said for a chicago style (I know Portnoy doesn't like chicago but IDGAF) with only fresh mozz, marinara/sauce with lots of garlic in it, and that butter crust. Pepperoni enhances it, but it is all about the fresh mozz and and garlicky marinara/sauce.

 

[ChiPackHawk]

PS….I went back now and really did read it. You truly are high.

I never brought up Trump, I said “trumps” as in beats…

I also used Serena, MJ & Tiger to point out the country isn’t so racist that they won’t go gaga over black athletes. You insisted race into this particular equation are you that incapable of following a thought.

Know something here, you can tell yourself in your head that I need someone to believe me 100%, but you truly don’t know my wife or my life or how little I care about you or a stranger agreeing with anything I have to say, I do care very much about stupidity though And you’ve won the prize today

YOU brought up the term "racism" first - read your own post again. I said said their race played a role in the media's fascination with them. There is nothing "racist" about that. You certainly love to twist what was actually written. And you are correct - I truly don't give one F about you and/or your wife. You are also completely delusional if you don't think others have an issue with you.

P.S. Maybe you should not have capitalized and made possessive (Trump's) in your use of Trump - hmmm? Your written word not mine.

I honestly have no opinion one way or another. I just love to post these things to get under McLovin's skin.

 

[torbee]

You obviously watched or heard Megyn Kelly's disapproving take on Caitlin's "white privilege" comment. Your last paragraph almost paraphrased it completely. Sorry you got so sucked in by Kelly's biased opinion.

Clearly too dumb to form his own, so no surprise.

I think the W keeps growing and will be bigger and better, but I think there will be a big drop for women's college ball ratings with no Caitlin.

Everytime seems a tick strong though🤷‍♂️

I missed the “others part” yes there are people that have issue with me and let me tell you something Friend I would be super concerned if they didn’t, I don’t like their Boris whiny bitchy anonymous complaining about a job. None of them could do…..

If you’re in that camp, I would expect you not to like me.

Plenty of people do, however

Talk about an inability to comprehend what you’re reading. What the holy hell. Nothing was twisted and thank you for not liking me.

 

[ChiPackHawk]

Except the fact you directed your comments about me using racism as a term and I never once did. And by the way, the burden of communication is on the person attempting to communicate.

Reading comprehension is a skill and I certainly may have missed a few of your thoughts. But trying to understand what you write and your takes on the comments of others is truly frightening.

Glad you said that….

The below was a horrendous way to start your paragraph to me

“”” I will give you MJ, but if you don't think the media and endorsement craze over Tiger and Serena had quite a bit to do with their race, I don't know what to tell you.”””

Who ill remind you was making the case that racism didn’t keep these black athletes from moving forward, so the start of your rebuttal against me was most assuredly Poor. I think we’re done here. That’s where it started and stopped no more needs to be said….

Ps… thanks for the segue, as I always say if you wait long enough, people will either make themselves look stupid or give you an easy way to do it for them.

Apparently not for everyone, funny that.

And you most assuredly missed what I was saying, which is what was so bizarre about the shit you were saying…

The sad thing is, we probably share a lot of the same social and political ideology, but I don’t enjoy people who are constantly pissed at their sporting team

 

[Randon]

I will. Nothing worse than White Guilt. I’m tired of this apology for how you born and what you accomplish. Fun fact: More Poor Whites than any race.

You sorry for being white that’s a you issue don’t clump all whites in. I apologize for nothing I haven’t done myself. Weak and soft. Fvck off CC

Wow - what or who bit you in the posterior? CC spoke of white privilege, not white guilt. She was stating a fact, not an apology. She knows full well that a portion of her popularity is due to the fact that she's an exceptional white player in a predominantly black league. Proof of this is her many commercial endorsements which she addressed in her comments correctly implying that black players are not given the same opportunity. This woke bs is just what it is - pure bs! Kudos to CC for speaking the truth.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Maybe they won't try to kill her now with hard fouls and cheap shots, moving forward.

I'm inclined to believe that these will still be in play next season, unless Englebert does something about it. The fuel for this has been pettiness and jealousy. CC is in a no-win situation.

I hope not. I hope it was just a "welcome to the league" initiation and they'll all move on.

....and this is the problem, right here. Our complete lack of respect for one another in modern discourse. Left wingers are not lunatics. Right wingers are not lunatics. We are all (for the most part) thoughtful, intelligent people who are looking at very clear problems and disagreeing on the cause.

Like calling an entire state racist?

 

[wondergrape]

Like calling an entire state racist?

I mean, I was right. The speculation was what Dijonai Carrington might have heard in the Fever crowd that made her upset. I said it was probably racist language and pointed out that Indiana has a strong history of racism. You can keep playing this card, but nothing I said was untrue.

 

[BrewHawk]

Her message could be interpreted that the black WNBA players need the assistance of a white to get their just desserts.

That doesn't read well either. She was doing so well to avoid getting pulled into it all.

Again, continued talk about differences in appearance and origination will only continue to perpetuate racial divide.

Avoid the labels and divisiveness, we're all people. We can't change the past. Just do the right thing going forward.

There isn’t a single soundbite anywhere that was caught of anything racist. It was entirely made up, and you used it to broadstroke an entire state as racist. It was very poor form and extremely disrespectful for someone talking about “respecting each other”

 

[BrotherHawkeye]

There have been good women's basketball players for nearly 40 years, white and black, but none who have moved the needle like Caitlin. But white privilege didn't elevate her to this status. She even repels against the suggestion by saying she's earned everything (which she has), but then gives a perfunctory tip of the cap to it. Her answer is quite nuanced, particularly for a 22 year old. While she has natural ability, a super competitive spirit, and is approachable and likeable, she wasn't gifted anything. If you have basketball talent, black or white, people in the business of basketball will find you, put you on teams where you'll get exposure with the opportunity to succeed on multiple levels, but the rest is up to you. Michael understands that. Shaq understands that. Kobe understood that. Others do, too. Others do not. Finally, she's already raising the Q-rating of others in the WNBA, the smart ones are embracing it. Good for them. There will be others who will understand that, and others who will not.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

It's also bringing out the people with brains. .

True 😜

I will give you MJ, but if you don't think the media and endorsement craze over Tiger and Serena had quite a bit to do with their race, I don't know what to tell you. They were minorities who dominated sports that were, and still are mainly white. Their financial success was certainly earned. Pretty much the exact same scenario as Clark in basketball.

You know, if you’re talking about the novelty aspect of someone dominating from from outside the typical expected demographics, you actually have a great point. The Jeremy Lin “Linsanity”, “Fernando-mania” of Fernando Valenzuela, the Jamaican bobsled team all fall under that umbrella. That could be a big part of the Clark Effect phenomenon. But I think it’s naive to think that’s the only thing going on here, especially when I see the type of people celebrating Clark on Twitter that have nothing else to say about sports.

 

[JimStarr777]

No. The point is that her whiteness won her nothing. You can’t seem to see that.
