I would say that the attention she gets is based largely on being a pretty cute white girl in a sport without too many pretty cute white girls.


Definitely wrong. There are quite a few decent looking white girls in the NBA. Clark isnt one of them. She is famous for her basketball skills, not her looks.

You think she would have the same fame if she were a 6’2” black chick?

Please.

It isn't Queen Cait that bothers me. It's racist homophobes who hype her up because she's white and (presumably) heterosexual that bother me.
As I've stated numerous times, if she were black, nobody (certainly not on this board) would know she existed.

Case in point: Napheesa Collier is clearly the league's best player and will probably win the MVP Award. She's black. I've never seen her name mentioned on this board.
A'ja Wilson 3-time WNBA MVP - Also black. How many threads have you seen on this board mentioning her name?

You're a race obsessed moron. Tell us exactly what the problem is with people rooting for a white player. Are little white girls not allowed to be fans of someone that looks like them?

You want me to explain to you what's wrong with racism?

It's useless responding to Cait Cult members like yourself.

It's like trying to explain to Trumptards or Obamabots that those Deep State puppets aren't on our side.

No, I want you to explain what's wrong with people rooting for a player because the player looks like them. Representation is good, right? Are little white girls racist because they like Caitlin?

You sound like a huge fan of Dawn Staley.

I find that some racists honestly don't even realize they're racist. I guess it's just the way they're brought up.

If that was true why didn't they just let her walk to Europe?

We're not talking about Dawn Staley. Try to stay on topic.

Calling me a racist as a deflection holds no water. Or were you calling little white girls racists that don't know it? I'm asking you why it's ok to root for a black player because of their skin color, a position you support, but not ok if the player is white. Why do you believe little white girls are racists for liking CC?

You have repeatedly given props to other players solely because they are black. Again, I am asking you to answer this question: Why can't little white girls root for someone that looks like them? Are you incapable of addressing this concept?

Wrong. I've given props to other players solely because they're good at basketball. Skin color doesn't matter to me. I guess I don't fit into this conversation.

ETA: I never realized that Diana Taurasi or Sabrina Ionescu were black. Thanks for the update.

You bring race into every conversation. If skin color doesn't matter, can white girls be fans of the white girl? Explain why it's a problem for you.

If you don't understand racism, there's nothing I can say that will help you.
