re: Sheryl Swoopes gets crushed for her awful Caitlin Clark criticism

Trying to race bait over this is utter stupidity. Sheryl was wrong in her take, no doubt. But
1. Kelsy Plum is white. If she was racist, she wouldn't be trying to praise a white woman.
2. She also spoke of how Angel will struggle to adjust to the league, but she knows Caitlin will be a really good pro

Angel Reese made Clark the most hated woman in college basketball. Reese and LSU won the championship, and Reese took it upon herself to trash Clark in the waning moments of the game. There was a media uproar about whether or not the move by Reese was classless. Predictably, the media turned it into a white/black issue and if you criticized Reese at all you did so solely because of racism. Adding more fuel to the fire was the bozo first lady initially suggesting both teams should be invited to the white house (in the ever increasing effort to virtue signal)

For her part, Clark didn't complain. In fact, she defended Reese: “I don’t think Angel should be criticized at all,”. Doesn't matter. The media made it a white/black issue. So Clark's success/play gets diminished by (some) black commentators not because she's a bad player. But because they don't want to be seen as going against the "team" in what is a completely fabricated racial dispute.
