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.

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.

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.

They realize that attitude is why they aren’t as marketable, right?
Posted on 5/12/24 at 3:10 pm to LSU Tiger Eyes
It’s really sad what this country has become…. It sounds
Like Wilson is making it about race…

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

Angry black woman whines about other people making money. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.

How ironic to claim it's white on black racism when the racism is in this shite right here. CC is the all time leading scorer and scored a lot of those points nailing shots nobody else has seen before. I'm sure with everyone falling all over themselves to push some DEI black women, they're purposely ignoring black women in this one instance.

These people who make these comments are so utterly stupid it’s so hard to grasp any went to class at all let alone a day.
70% of the US is still white. Most of these 70% have enough money any intelligent company want to market a product to.
What is so hard to understand?
It’s zero to do with race but marketing to people who are interested.
*Oh yeah but please but don’t tell a proud black woman that white people also like seeing other white people succeed the same way she feels about her own race.
That would blow her fukin mind.

Caitlin Clark was doing shite that NO OTHER college basketball player (male or female, white or black) was doing. That’s the interesting/entertaining aspect about her. She was busting those other girls’ asses from 30ft+ on the regular. If all she did was shoot from 18ft in almost nobody would have gave a shite. Her skill level set her apart plain and simple.

Its just obvious how much black people seem to resent her.

Plenty of black athletes have endorsement deals. Find something else to cry about.
