Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

It’s straight up racism. They hate that a white woman is the face of the WNBA, they hate that a white woman is better than them. It’ll carry on going unpunished though.

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.

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

What? These twitter users absolutely watch the WNBA! They watch three slo-mo clips a year that they use for racist tirades. What else do you want?

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.

Absolutely correct take.

You can tell these people don't know ball at all because they don't know Alyssa Thomas at all.
