It's political to give props to the athletes that came before you?
Had she left it at that I think her remarks would have been appropriate and respectful. But when you obligatorily trot out "White privilege" then it's hyper political.
Only if you are looking for something to make you outraged.
Sorry, there is not a more loaded term than "White privilege." It means a ton of different things to many different people.
Maybe #22 has witnessed and experienced “white privilege” a few times herself? Or is your position that “white privilege” doesn’t exist and is a product of the left?
The tickets will have already been purchased and the Mystics will already have their money. The only people she would be hurting by doing that would be the fans who paid to see her.
I very much appreciate your remarks about your mother. My mother and her mother were very empathetic towards "colored people," which was then the respectful form of address.
I can top that - my mother and her mother (my grandmother) thought OJ Simpson was innocent. No lie.
She should go there and drop 40 to 50, 10 plus assists, and 10 plus rebounds and make it a point every game to destroy her team when they play ala Jordan.
Clark has always given props to the WNBA pioneers. Race wasn't part of it.
Life ain’t fair.
All the League has to do is level the playing field….CC is a big girl and can take care of herself.
It's not often we agree on something Northern, but you have described this 100% accurately.
No kidding. If hard feelings are a concern for you as another player...
That's what they don't seem to want to acknowledge. If another league steps up and makes her an offer she can't refuse and she flips, all these new fans aren't going to stick around and watch the NBA. They don't seem to understand that Clark can only bring them to the table, it is the league's responsibility to turn all of these new eyes, who are there to watch Clark play, to turn them into fans of the entire league, not just her. Instead, they have done everything in their power to make the new fans feel unwelcome and in very clear terms that they are not wanted. That alone is why everyone in a position of leadership needs to be replaced in that league. They don't seem to understand what their job is.
I wouldn't if she DESERVED to be on the cover like CC22. All Angel Reese has done is wave her hand in front of her face, called CC22 a bitch, and rode her coattails to whatever fame she has.
Exactly.
If you mean call the game cleanly so the bully-balling brutes of the league gain no advantage I agree!
What would be better than that is to do it against the Mystics and have Indy front office invite the Mystic owner to join them in the box with them.
The biggest privilege any of us have in life is wealth. There are wealthy black people as well as white people, however, there is no denying that many black people were denied the ability to create wealth in our nation's past. Generational wealth is a real thing and more white people have been lucky enough to have some. I'm not talking millions. I'm talking about simple things like owning a home.
I agree she is in a tough spot. I think that a black woman coming into the WNBA, with all the accolades Clark did, would receive similar treatment without the racial undertones. I think the old guard would have been jealous that a rookie was entering the league already making millions when they had been playing for relatively low salaries. It's about jealousy not race.
But it’s not a blank woman on the cover, and before you say it’s not about that, you know god damned good and well it is
