Once again, trying to deflect an inquiry. I'm just asking you to explain why rooting for a black player is good but rooting for the white player is bad. Is it that difficult for you to address the double standard? If skin color doesn't matter to you, why do you have an issue with CC being admired over other players of a different skin tone?

I’m open to new info. Can you provide your list? It was at least 50 players, right?

You don’t understand racism. If you did you would see that you’re the only racist posting on this thread. And you would address the very direct question Alonzo has asked you repeatedly instead of doing everything you can to avoid it like the bitch that you are.

I don’t need to watch a game.

You said you had a list if 50 players who were better and had better resumes than Clark.

When will you provide this list? This might be the 5th or 6th time I’ve asked for it. What’s the hold up?

You're asking me what's wrong with a white girl liking a player simply because her skin is white, and you want me to explain racism to you?

What are your thoughts on the black athletes who have said things like:
“I want the little girls that look like me to know they can do this too”

This is request #7 I think

For reference in case you forgot. Are you claiming that what I posted below is inaccurate, and I have incorrect info? If I watched the games, would I come to the conclusion that these facts below are false?

You're a deluded egomaniac to believe that you need to explain racism to me or anyone else. You have no special insight.

I am asking you, can little white girls root for Caitlin Clark because they identify with her? By the same token, is it acceptable for little black girls to be Angel Reese fans because they identify with her? This is a question about representation as a standard. So far, you've done everything to avoid discussing this concept.

It's not acceptable to me for someone to be a fan of a player strictly because of skin color. I think most people would agree that I've made that very clear.

Ok. First, why is it not acceptable? Second, the response to "It's not acceptable to me..." is so what?

Do you think all those little white girls and little black girls rooting for players that look like them are racists? What about the players who believe that representation is a positive thing for their fans? Racists, too?

I don’t know off hand but there’s definitely been some black athletes that have said they want to “inspire little girls that look like me”

How is that not racist lol

I thought you were asking if it was acceptable to me. How should I know what's acceptable to every living person.Your attempt at "gotcha" questions is incredibly weak, even for this board.

What language would you like me to answer in? English is obviously not getting through to you.
