Caitlin Clark, much like Larry Bird, the focus of talks about race and double standards

“I think it’s a huge thing. I think a lot of people may say it’s not about Black and white, but to me, it is,” Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson said when asked about the race element in Clark’s popularity and before she recently signed two major endorsement deals. “It really is because you can be top notch at what you are as a Black woman, but yet maybe that’s something that people don’t want to see.
“They don’t see it as marketable, so it doesn’t matter how hard I work. It doesn’t matter what we all do as Black women, we’re still going to be swept underneath the rug. That’s why it boils my blood when people say it’s not about race because it is.”
I can't imagine a former player from South Carolina playing the race card!
Yeap, it's all about race!

This chick literally announced a shoe deal with Nike yesterday

I think Caitlin Clark has earned her attention. I mean she did break the all-time scoring record and she has a personality.

I am shocked that there isn't a market for angry, racist women that are more masculine than the average man.

I hate to say this, but this show a complete lack of critical thinking skills. Most of these people have no opinions and just parrot the popular thing. Good thing that they can play basketball.

Well Nike bowed to the woke mob.
I think it was Jemele Hill who tweeted out or wrote an article that the WNBA is 70% black and only 3 players have a signature shoe and they're all white and that Caitlin Clark hadn't even played a WNBA game when she signed her Nike deal..
Well yeah...she's a household name. Never heard of this Aja girl....but Clark just made her money. Tiger Woods also signed a whopping deal with Nike before ever winning a PGA tournament. Nike is in the business of making money and what moves the needle. Now they have to bow to DEI....to save face.

Funny how black people with no interest in golf suddenly started watching when Tiger Woods started winning.
It's almost as if people like following someone they may have something in common with.

This is such a lazy, ignorant, and bitter take. All of these Clark haters are all the same.
They need to just come out and admit that they’re mad and jealous that a straight, white girl drew attention to a sport that it has never seen before (and she isn’t the first white female to ever play college basketball like they’re trying to make it sound, like she just walked in and was handed everything).
Caitlin Clark has earned everything she’s getting because she actually draws attention and money. No one (outside of the dozens of WNBA fans) knew who the hell A’ja was until a few weeks ago. If anything, A’ja should thank Caitlin for getting her a pity shoe deal.

Clark will get the old school Detroit Jordan rules when she tries to drive in the paint.

We’ve never seen a woman be able to pull up from 30 feet and make it on a regular basis. That’s the number one reason CC is so popular.

Why do they do this? One capitalized and the other not.

To belittle one and worship the other. It’s very purposely done.

They realize that attitude is why they aren’t as marketable, right?

It’s really sad what this country has become…. It sounds

Caitlynn Clark will likely be physically assaulted in her own locker room and on the court. Thats what she has to look forward to.

What kind of “buzz” does this Wilson chick bring to the game???? I think she needs
