In any discipline that is predominantly female or minority, leftists RUN from diversity. This is a fact

All indications say, no. Resoundingly.

She’s been likened to Golden State Warriors great Stephen Curry, and that comparison ain’t crazy...that’s how special Clark is.


This is just stupid on so many levels.

Steph Curry is making stupid shots being guarded by the best athletes in the entire world regardless of sport. The level of skill for any NBA player to score on an NBA defense is unbelievable compared to the WNBA. I mean I don’t believe WNBA players are skilled enough to do anything on low end men’s college basketball. It could be a stretch to think they are skilled enough to be effective against top-end to elite boys highschool basketball.

Clark is embraced as the greatest scorer in the history of women’s college basketball, and it doesn’t matter that it’s not actually true: A Black woman — Pearl Moore of Francis Marion University in Florence, S.C. — still holds the record, set in the late 1970s


This is something that cracked me up. 99% of the time the statement “highest scorer in NCAA history.” I’m sure that somebody says “college” occasionally, but that’s just being a dick for being a dick’s sake. Most fanfare was because it was the NCAA record.

I promise the root would not bring this up if a black woman broke an NAIA white woman record.

But she doesn't play against guys. Relative to other women, she's one of the greats.

This Greek MF’er used the exact same argument, 45 years ago, that these racist blacks are using today. Is there anything that the DEI crowd doesn’t plagiarize and regurgitate?

By postulating that blacks are as a race better athletes than whites does the door open for the discussion of other possible less flattering race based differences?

Thought basketball was pioneered by a white man? Isn't that cultural appropriation? And isn’t that a big no-no in their worldview?

It's The Root. Everything they print is racist strawman bullshite. They may as well write "kill whitey!" for 10 paragraphs per article and call it a day.

Blacks have done better at the sport than whites, it's just a fact.

Jerry West, Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Caitlin Clark matter, but the records, etc. matter.

Kareem, MJ, LeBron are mighty

When white people say this, they’re called racist.

A lot of good white athletes have been left out of pro sports especially the NBA.

So. This community can be victims when they are underrepresented and victims when they are overrepresented. Amazing.

Fake up as much controversy as they want, I don’t care.

I’m not watching chicks play basketball.

Bird had back problems as early as the 85 season and played through injuries from that point on.
