Isaac Newton would be ashamed to discuss IQ's with Nightwish.
No, I think if she were anything other than white, being unnecessarily fouled hard, disrespected, etc, we all know there would be outrage. Players doing this junk would be reprimanded, and she would be on the Olympic team.
Ummm yes, there could still be racism. Your first paragraph is not at all true. I do agree with second paragraph though.
The other whites on the team aren't irrelevant to her "whiteness" just because you say so. You just don't want the other whites on the team to get in the way of your BS propaganda. It is amazing that a board that nearly melts down in denial of racism when it comes to Rupp has discovered its existence in 2024, how nice. Either racism exist or it doesn't, but it can't just exist when it comes to one white girl who has been in the WNBA for a minute while those before her didn't experience it. Not only did they not experience it, they are also denying its existence now.
man, I am glad I have been assured black folk can't be racist. Otherwise, I might be tempted to think it might have possibly played a small, insignificant role.
Wow isn't it refreshing to learn some white "folk" have discovered WOKEISM!! I guess it won't be long before you will be kneeling during the playing of the national anthem. Lol.
My initial post was sarcastic. But I really don't know what you are trying to say. Normally, I wouldn't care one way or the other. People can think those five chicks were completely above board. That is fine. I don't follow the WNBA at all - never seen a game.
I didn't try to say anything. I just said it!! So, you can take my post in the spirit in which your post was intended.
Jennifer Rizzotti is neither black nor a lesbian. She is however a UConn grad and ethnically Italian, so I could see her preferring Taurasi over Clark. Taurasi's inclusion is a nod to her leadership and previous contributions to Team USA, so you can't say that she hasn't earned it either.
The WNBA and USA Basketball are not the same entity. The WNBA doesn't have anything to do with Clark's status with the National Team.
You're right. People turning their head to injustice or racism has always worked out well. I remember how the jews just kept their heads down and just watched after their own house during the 30's in Germany. They all agree that was the way to go. You are so stunning and brave.
It's really bad marketing given how the first 15 games went. One thing is for sure... I don't want to hear women complain about how much they make compared to men when the one time they had a legit star in the league bringing eyes.... They target her out of jealousy. LOL.
The scenario that you describe is what I experience every day at work.
With all due respect, if you really believe that CC is the first legit star in the WNBA, you clearly haven't taken the time to research the subject. Your comment is as incorrect as someone stating that Larry Bird was the first legitimate star in the NBA.
Obviously, you do otherwise you wouldn't be reading this thread and responding to it.
I've heard of other wnba players. If you think any of them brought as many eyes as CC then you are being naive. Maybe Lisa Leslie was close. She was very pretty and spoke well so she was on tons of commercials and interviews back in the day. Not sure how many people attended the games though. I know attendance has surged this year and it seems most of the wnba is pissed over it. LOL. .... But Bird and Magic took the nba to a whole other level. If you don't know that then go back and watch some of those games before and after those 2.
I see you haven’t watched much women's bb. So you’re telling me there’s 20 ex-UConn players better than the greatest women’s career scorer of all time.
Again, you are totally missing the point. For some reason you think being more marketable means being better. CC appears to be starting her WNBA career off on a good note however, thinking that she is the greatest ever just because companies are willing to give her big endorsement dollars is completely wrong. She draws large crowds because what she does is very unexpected. However, if you look at the current WNBA stats, there are others doing the things that she does even better. CC is currently number 4 in assist and number 4 in 3-pointers per game, so I am not certain how this makes her the first legit WNBA star.
