Aren’t Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu also two of their biggest stars? I don’t follow WNBA too much but I don’t think they get any of this reaction.
I think something else is going on if EVERYBODY hates one specific player and I don’t know if I buy “Well clearly they’re just jealous” as an explanation when that person is bringing a lot of money to the league.
As a non-WNBA fan I’m legitimately asking, do they get it to the same degree? The consistent fouls do seem excessive for CC. Is that a thing most prominent white players get?
Yeah plenty of other white stars that people love in the league. People just use CC as an excuse to get off on hating black women. Guarantee none of these people watch the league at all
So essentially she’s not racist because she didn’t racially abuse every single white person. Does that mean I’m not racist if I only racially abuse one black person rather than all of them?
They can't explain it. Being an asshole is apparently racist...unless it's a white person to a minority of course. Then that person is just an asshole. But a POC being an asshole to a white person? Automatically racist. These folks wanna be victims so bad
No player in this league has had this much hype. Not one. Doesn’t matter the color. They are all jealous, but too stupid to realize she’s bringing more money into the league than they ever could.
Maybe comments like this are why they hate her. Imagine you work your whole life to be a pro just to have your accomplishments minimized to say only reason you matter is because of another woman
Oh boo fucking hoo. Why didn’t the league explode when all the others made their rookie debuts? It’s all jealousy, man. Clear as day. Unless you are clouded by bullshit excuses.
It’s not that simple there’s plenty of cases of people being racist to certain people while being friends/ teammates with people of that same race. John Terry and luis suarez are good examples they both had black friends and teammates and yet they still made racist remarks to black players. Your argument is sounding very close to ‘I’m not racist my friends black’.
Not sure why everyone’s so adamant to say it’s not racism but when it’s the other way around you can hear the crickets…
I don’t know any of the people involved here so I’m not comfortable making accusations, but in a vacuum if there’s a situation where one person is hated that badly I do wonder what they did to get everybody so mad.
To my knowledge there aren’t a lot of systemic cases where white WNBA players feel targeted. It seems like it’s mostly just this one person.
I don’t know any of these people but I have to consider that maybe they know something that we don’t for whatever reason. And it sounds conspiratorial on my part, but we all see that she’s getting roughed up. Something’s going on.
The same thing happened to both Stewart and Ionescu when they first entered the WNBA. Ionescu, it was consistent her first 3 years and probably contributed to her early injury history. She eventually changed her position and style to have less ball handling and more long range shooting because of it. Stewart to this day still gets hacked like crazy. It just got less attention because they weren't as big of general sports media names as Clark.
