To get a reaction from wypipo so they can call us racist. There is NO other logical reason.

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.

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

I heard Jason Whitlock say after Iowa beat LSU....we've seen Brittney Griner and Lisa Leslie make a bunch of layups with the ball passed to them....we've seen Diana Taurasi can a bunch of 15-footers....

But we've never seen a women''s player control a game with the ball in her hands....hitting circus 3s so it opens up lanes for her teammates so she can make dime pass after dime pass to give her teammates easy layups.

Kim Mulkey said post game that she told Clark...."girl, I'm sure glad you leaving, never seen anyone like you....she makes all the players around her better."

Speaking of race & double standards, imagine if Caitlyn Clark had said what Angel Reese said after winning the championship: "So this is for the girls that look like me..."

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.

Well, is it really marketable? The purpose of endorsement deals are not to lose money. The purpose is for the company to make money. So what about this girl is marketable and as profitable as Clark? Given how most of us have never heard of her, I’m going to venture to say not much. The question is why in the hell should any company have to give someone an endorsement deal to bow to any wokeness. The standard is does this endorsement make us money. If it doesn’t, that makes the endorsement deal itself racist.

She is 100% correct. People like to cheer for others that look like them, especially when it’s in an outlier situation(white basketball players, black golfers, etc)

Every single race does it. People are just terrified to admit races like to stick with their own race

Because you're a piggy bank to them and that it. The quicker everyone understands this, the better we all are apparently

Trying to deny races cheer for their own especially in sports they are the minority is so stupid. Everyone does it.

Now the media is full of shite because it’s only a bad thing when whites do it of course, but it’s absolutely reality
