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
Caitlin Clark is a tough case. She's doing something on the basketball court no woman has ever done before. If Wilson wanted to prove a point, then Clark was a horrible example to use.

Clark will be forgotten about by the time the season is midway over which is what 15 games from now?

Steph Curry didn't explode the NBA either when he showed unlimited range. Hell it's not like it changed the very foundation of the league or anything.

I hope she breaks every single stupid arse WNBA record there is. These bitches need to quit talking trash and step up and play her instead of bitching about it.

Lol. Because you’re an idiot

It is truly hilarious to see how angry these black people are at yt people being better than them at "their" own game. They hate Jokic and Clark for the same reason and it is comically pathetic.

Says the guy posting threads about caitlin Clark and racial double standards on internet message boards.
Hope your week goes well Steven A
You do realize creating threads like this is stirring up discussions about her race and double standards?

The brothas hated Marshall Mathers, too.

It’s killing all the sports outlets that they have to talk about the rating bonanza that is CC vs all the other black players. They are even too stupid to realize how much more money they going to make because of her….ie the Tiger effect

They are using this race talk to stir up controversy to drive ratings.
It's part of the entire "embrace debate" format espn has been pushing for years since Skip Bayless and Steven A Smith became their biggest ratings hits

No one (outside of the dozens of WNBA fans) knew who the hell A’ja was until a few weeks ago.
I knew who she was because I watch both women's and men's CBB. She's arguably the best player in the WNBA next to Breanna Stewart; who also has a shoe deal.
People don't know this but during the tenure of the WNBA, there were a number of players white and black that have had signature shoes from Sheryl Swoopes to Rebecca Lobo.
A'ja didn't have a signature shoe, despite her success but was a paid Nike athlete.
Of course Nike would give Clark a mega shoe deal. She moves the needle more than Wilson. But Wilson has won two WNBA championships and 2 MVP,s and has done a lot for the game.

Well Nike bowed to the woke mob.
I mean....Aja is the reigning WNBA MVP...and a 2x MVP and champion at that. A shoe deal should happen for her if it happens to anyone in that league.
I would also say that if she had been marketed properly she would have been a great face for the league. She is personable and fun.
I don't doubt she has some frustrations, a shoe deal after 6 years in the league. She was deserving long before

Too many black women aren't likeable, and that is not a "white sentiment."
You look at surveys about attitudes towards different race/sex combinations, black women are always at the bottom.
Some of the sweetest women I know are country black women. But, I also know some huge bitches and I have a knack for getting along with black women.

Oh I love this reply. This is the part where we pretend that had the owner been a Democrat and won, it wouldn't have been promoted daily by the media, with constant fawning from their players on their team.
No, this is the part where regardless of party or office run for, the wnba is still an irrelevant dumpster fire. An owner winning an election would do 0 to change that. This is certainly the part where you display how bad politics have broken you.

CCs biggest problem is she is white Catholic straight and from Iowa.

Any that thinks otherwise is full of shite
