Weird how nobody would ever compare a male athlete passing up a female for some type of record. Could we just stick to comparing this girl to the broad she passed up?



No, screw that. Men now hold every track and field record, swimming, and anything else they share.

Who fricking cares either way?


How are people not understanding this isnt some hate against her specifically? This is hate against the media, who are scum

The NCAA “record book” shouldn’t have a single women’s track and field record within because none of the “women’s” records come close to the men’s records. For example, all 23 men who ran in the semifinals of the NCAA outdoor championships 100m event obliterated the NCAA record women’s time in that same event. After all, men’s and women’s track and field is the same sport. And 100m is 100m…regardless of who is running

Clark is a tremendous player and worthy of recognition. But disingenuously spinning her accomplishments as if women’s and men’s basketball aren’t COMPLETELY different levels of competition is absurd.

Joe Bauman hit 72 HR’s in a season win the “Longhorn League” (minor league baseball). Funny, I didn’t recall hearing his name during Bond’s chase. Baseball is baseball after all.

You're a month behind. Libs dislike CC22 because she is going to be the face of women's basketball and they hate it

I mean I shouldn't be surprised, but I had no Idea Steph was the 3 point leader for college basketball as well.

The hilarious part is when someone breaks this record again, these same people will be the first to want to seperate men and women’s again. “She’s still the woman’s record holder!!”

Remember during the Rose Bowl when Bama was winning and they couldn’t shut up about how great McCarthy was?

I would've figured it was Antoine Davis since he was doing a Steph impression on a shitty team coached by his dad.

They claim she broke his and Pete's record. She didn't.

Am a Clark fan as a great female player, but she's going to have it rough next year when the rest of that league will all have their knives sharpened ( not necessarily literally)for her as the next Great White Hope. Pete faced the same but it was only racially, not sexually as well. When Clark drives the lane, she's going to get hammered.

She may arguably be the best female basketball player ever but she plays in a different league than Maravich and Curry. You can say she had more points or 3-pointers but she didn't "break their records". A Phillipino baseball player can hit 74 HRs in a season or 800 career HRS, but that doesn't mean he broke Bonds' records.

She needs to take advantage of her fame by getting into movies as an action star. When they make the movie about her, she can play herself like Audie Murphy did in 1955's To Hell and Back.
