This was on a long, on going thread about Caitlin…,
“”I don’t know what is more insane:
Megyn Kelly assuming she has a place in this conversation or Sheila Johnson chastising Clark’s award.
Caitlin Clark is a 1st Team All WNBA guard as a rookie. She has electrified her sport from Iowa and Indiana but is followed en masse across the USA and world wide.
She’s 22 years old and admits her flaws openly in interviews and also admits that she’s ****ing good without being a bragger.
Frankly, she’s the most compelling basketball player on the scene right now partially because she’s imperfect. She goes for it. She’s competitive and willing to fail. She pumps up teammates. She is out in the sporting scene. She credits her family. She’s funny.
I just don’t know how anyone can encounter this young adult and be anything but astonished. And those who feel the need to limit her accolades should instead focus on those who they believe should be celebrated because although in sports you only have one winner, in life and in this vast environment of media, we can celebrate many many more.
For example, I was thinking about Aliyah Boston yesterday and how impressive it was when she got her motor fully juiced, the way that she played all season. I played basketball last night, full court 5 on 5, and I was the biggest guy on the court - I like to pass and rebound, and originally I joked that I’m a little bit of Caitlin and a little bit of Angel (cus finishing around the rim is an area of opportunity for me, ha). But I realized last night that I might just kind of be more like AB. And one of the toughest things about being like AB, is having to play basket to basket, set physical screens, make smart decisions with the ball, rebound, protect the paint, hit your long range shots when you’re open…
I go on this rant to say, it’s really not that hard to celebrate someone who isn’t Caitlin. It’s also really not very hard to celebrate Caitlin. Why must we villainize Caitlin for celebrating others? Why must we villainize those who celebrate Caitlin? I’m both exhausted of it and fueled by how frustrating I find it.””””
Me…To those of you who don’t know better. Being political isn’t what you were put on this earth for. Not everything has to be so personal.
The woman from the Mystics IS stupid, Megan Kelley IS stupid.
Life is fickle and precious. Everyone should spend more time lifting people up and looking for the good in society not the bad🥰
