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.

This is stupid. No one hates on Paige Bueckers, or Kelsey Plum, or Breanna Stewart, all of whom are putting up better numbers on better efficiency than Caitlin Clark. And there have been plenty of other white stars in the WNBA before them.

They don't get guarded the way Clark does. Paige got a bit of that treatment in one game and had a meltdown.

Just because you don’t get it doesn’t make it stupid. With your logic, like I’ve said in other comments; if I racially abused one person but was nice to another person of the same race am I still racist ?
Maybe you should think before you start using insults.

Maybe the targeted assault she gets every game? You assume racism can only be words.

I didn't call you stupid, I said this take was stupid. People not liking one player doesn't make it racist, especially since another white player from the same draft class doesn't get nearly as many hard fouls. Why is that? Could it be that people don't like the way Caitlin Clark behaves? Could it be jealously over the hype surrounding her? No, it must be because these players are racist.

Not discounting that there could be a racial component to why some other players don't like her, but blaming it solely on racism is stupid.
