Caitlin Clark: First Rookie in WNBA To Ever Record a Triple Double

[The Big Dunn]

No it isn't ignorant. LeBron is black, you think Clark is being pushed because she is white. LeBron wasn't the greatest ever when he was a rookie, and he was being talked about a lot then too. Countless other black players got a lot of media exposure in their rookie years as well.

Floyd said the only reason Lin is getting so much media exposure is because he was Asian. You're basically saying the same thing about Clark, that her media attention is white privilege. If you're going to be a race-card playing crybaby, at least be man enough to own your bias.

Griner is 6'9", she SHOULD lead the league in blocks and dunks, especially when most other players aren't anywhere near her size. Griner broke a few records, Clark already broke some of them. Griner was never talked about before her arrests for domestic violence and drugs in Russia. No one came to her games, WNBA was bleeding out. Now they only talk about her because her wife had a baby, lol.

LeBron wasn’t being pushed more than Kobe when he was a rookie.

I think that plays a role in it, as does her perceived ***uality, so do a number of wnba players, including other white females quoted in articles and quotes in this thread.

You and the other agenda driven posters keep avoiding that reality.

So? Floyd is entitled to his opinion.

I didn’t post that. I said it contributed to the league’s decision. I stand by that point.

Griner’s list of accomplishments below. You prove your ignorance and lack of knowledge saying she is a marginal wnba player.

Kim Mulkey asked Griner to hide her ***uality in college. The WNBA chose not to market her because of her race and ***uality despite a list of achievements above.

Yes, her DV case should’ve limited her marketing and promotion.

You and those of you with the culture warrior fake victimhood agenda got very upset about her wanting to be called pops and claiming she is the father.

It is really a non story. Why do you care so much what she wants her child to call her?

[The Big Dunn]

Maybe the compromise should’ve been to send Clark to play on the 3 on 3 women’s team.

She would bring maximum attention to the event. She would be in Paris. The wnba and all her corporate sponsors could market her.

Only downside is she wouldn’t be getting rest. I think the rest and being away from the game and all the BS will really make her a better player the rest of the wnba season.

Griner is 6'9" full of testosterone, she should be steamrolling her competition. Clark is only 6' tall and breaking records in college and pro. If Griner were 6' tall she'd have been benched long ago and likely never even drafted. Her accomplishments are during the infancy of the league that wasn't stacked with big talent. It's like female boxing where the talent pool is very shallow.

Floyd is entitled to his opinion which you share with him. Always jealous when someone else has the spotlight on them and it's not who you want it to be.

Culture warrior...bwahahaha! The media was making a big deal about her wife's baby and her being called pop. We are just having a good laugh here, no one is angry about it but you. You and your scrawny b!tch tag-along are always using gay slurs on here yet claim to be advocates for them. LOL

Please stop making ignorant, biased comments.

Both play to their size. One a center. One a guard.

You confirmed you are ignorant and not knowledgeable about the game when you posted Griner was a marginal player. Just admit you were wrong and letâs move on.

Griner played against Sylvia Fowles and other ATG players. You keep showing your ignorance of the sport by throwing out really dumb comments.

Yawn. Floyd has his own opinion. I never indicated I shared that opinion about Lin. Lin was a nice story. He faded away quickly.

We know youâre a bigot that thinks all blacks share opinions. Smdh.

She was asked a question, she clarified it by saying she wants to be called pops, and it went viral among the culture warrior, fake victimhood far right fringe because you guys don’t like to let people different from you enjoy the same freedoms you want for yourselves.

No one is laughing. This is a major issue for you guys, as the responses in the thread about this indicate.

I have never claimed to be an advocate for gays and lesbians. You keep lying.

[BodiesInFlight]

I am. I actually have the league pass. I would rather watch the WNBA than the NBA. The NBA is not a good product anymore. The WNBA players play with playoff intensity every game. The NBA regular season is just an 82 exhibition games.
Clark is probably the second best player in the league right now. I watch them all.

Sounds like the commie left LGBT mafia brainwashed you. Women belong in the kitchen

Or something like that. I don't know, im not a true lounge poster

How do I think all blacks share the same opinion when there are blacks on here disagreeing with you? Dunce!

Griner thrived in a shallow talent pool. She is the tallest player in the league. Accomplished but overrated. At least she has finally learned her lesson and has shown some pride in our anthem this year. It took a Russian prison to make her appreciate the country that afforded her equal rights, and an opportunity to thrive dribbling a basketball.

You did share Floyd's opinion, and you've shown your bigotry towards Asians, whites and Hispanics on this forum. You were even banned for your racism.

You call anyone who doesn't support the trans-agenda a dinosaur and a bigot. Yet you use gay slurs towards other men. Asking them to go down on you, that's some suspect behavior right there, but to each their own I guess but you're a hypocrite. I bet you use the N word outside this forum as well.

Because you’re a bigot. You think we all agree despite the fact blacks disagree with me.

More ignorance.

No I didn’t. Lying as usual.

I specifically called you a dinosaur. That was after you claimed women shouldn’t have the right to vote. No one else.

Lying again. You must want to be asked because you mention that a lot.

I bet you use it as well.

[GhostofDempsey]

I think you don’t know how she comes off. I think you, Stan Love and other agenda driven Clark fans base your opinions of her based on race and perceived ***uality.

I do see her competing hard. She also is developing a reputation for crying to the refs too much.

Again, are you watching any of the games?

There you go, you just pulled a Floyd. He said Lin was only popular because of his race. You're doing the same with Clark. Everything is about identity politics with you.

I'm a bigot, yet you're the one who was banned for racism!

I don't think the average ******* woman should vote, they are far too emotional and mentally unfit.

I don't use racial slurs. I don't associate with people who do, regardless of their race.

So where is that A'ja and Breanna Stewart thread touting their greatness? LOL

[The Big Dunn]

lmfao. You are trying too hard and failing miserably.

I didn’t say Clark was only popular because of her race.

I said that is why shoulder, Stan Love and all the agenda driven Clark fans, you included, base their opinions on her because of race and perceived ***uality.

You guys are about identity politics. You said she was discriminated against because she is white and straight. You just claimed Griner was a marginal wnba player because she is tall, black and lesbian.

All of your choices are made using race, gender and ***uality. Sad but not unexpected.
