Not putting anyone down, and frankly your making a false argument. I'm talking about NBA players going to indiana and paying HOMAGE to a rookie WNBA player (like thats EVER happened before), wearing her T shirt and singing her praises on social media. (Yes I'm aware that social media hasn't always been out there, and this is certainly part of it). You have the biggest stars in the mens game unabashedly posting about her skills. All your tennis star mentions were great players (several Icons) but I don't remember mens stars paying them homage. When Iowa was on their Euro tour the summer before her senior season, the USC mens team took a detour from where they were traveling to get to where Iowa was (Croatia I think at the time) for the sole purpose of watching her play in person. There were numerous concerts the last couple of years where the headliner stars came out on stage wearing CC22 Iowa tshirts.
