| OT The WNBA officials have been pretty silent on the Clark foul incident.

I saw a documentary on Clark and Kamila Cardoso of South Carolina on ESPN2 while sitting at the bar for dinner last night. Both are great stories, Clark as a kid with a sports upbringing and Cardoso growing up as the daughter of a very poor street vendor in Brazil.

@It Takes Eleven mentioning UofSC in a thread meant as a joke ... brings up opinions.
WNBA veterans trying to make a statement to Clark and her NIL and league money. No problem with a hard foul but coming up from behind someone is bush league (no pun intended).

We all know what it is...racism
The "white" girl is in their league ...making the big money...getting the press
And they dont like it
Several have even said it
But ...sick of even hearing about it...

And she has a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend.

Exactly
But the thing is...
She is gonna make everyone money ....bigger attention...more attendance...
She is a superstar for sure
You're both right @50+yeartidefan and @alabama mike , to a degree, plus there's the component of the rich rookie who needs to earn her spot in the league - which is an oft-repeated situation in many sports. Clark represents mainstream America, and they all know that college basketball is the pinnacle of the women's sport. They fly commercial, up until this year, and they are subsidized by the NBA. If the players are playing extra hard to give the rookie her comeuppance, that's why they compete. I hope Clark stays healthy and banks her endorsements, and in the end she'll be laughing at them.

Right. Gonna see it in college too....alll sports where there is shit nil money....
Guy blocking gets nil....driving brokedown 10 year old car...for RB or QB thats getting...literally "millions". Scooting around in a lambo
Wasnt it at Tenn where they wereflying high..late in season...headed for cfp and got drubbed by a shit USCe team,... team around QB quit...because of such?
If the WNBA were smart, they'd be working this like a WWE scripted storyline to try and maximize the eyes on the league and capitalize on Clark while the gettin' is good. But, they ain't that bright, and the truth of the matter is you have a bunch of entitled bitches who can't stand sharing the spotlight, and absolutely refuse to admit to themselves or others that Clark has single-handedly brought at least some degree of legitimacy to their league for once. Instead, they are lashing out and acting like children. I will also add that the foul on Clark, while unnecessary and flagrant, wasn't that bad and she'd be well off showing a tad more toughness and not falling over like a bowling pin after such softness. And I don't know, maybe get back up and give some back if she's bothered by it.

100% agree, but she still has a protected collegiate mindset when it comes to that where she thinks she'll get Michael Jordan treatment. I will say I am sick and tired of seeing the articles and headlines on every news outlet talking about this crap. They are going about it the wrong ways to try and build a presence.
Yeah, there's really nothing they could do to get me to tune in regardless, shy of maybe allowing weapons on the court.

Technically true.
But. Let's go back to a conversation we had a few years ago.
There are some females, given the wrong circumstances, you have to tell, "I'm about to treat you like a man." Angel Reese would be one of those: as would a few in the WNBA.

My first guess? "She's disrespecting the game."

And getting away with it? Would say " refs see a meal ticket in the making aka Michael Jordan)"
Who cares. I have coached middle school boys that play with more skill and athleticism than any WNBA rosters. Bill Burr is right.. WNBA... entertaining 500 people per night for 23 years.
Why waste any breathe on this? More people will watch a random SEC gymnastics event than the WNBALGBTQ finals.

#2 pick. Another straight female. Caught a clip of The View moaning about white privilege, tall privilege, & pretty privilege. You know deep down they wanted to complain about the two of them being heterosexuals. The Hodge Twins YT channel was where I think I heard it.
