Caitlin Clark Leaves
The golden goose of the WNBA decided she was tired of the physical racial attacks and now she's going to Europe. On the surface it sounds like nothing. But, I think it's very representative of where America is heading these days...
OOOHHHHHHH, We need a SPECIAL version just for women, because they can't be expected to physically compete with men? Ok... Let's all just get that completely phucking straight, and agree trans-psycho-nut-jobs (the 0.001% of the world) don't get special treatment, just like the Blind NBA, a group less insane, and containing more people.
I am proud of myself, proud of my family (if I had one!) my village, my state, my country, my planet, my church, my bowling team, etc. That's perfectly ethical.
I am not a bigot just because I cheer for my village home-team basketball team when they play another team, any more than a mom cheers on her son or daughter. That's just being morally supportive. I am supposed to cheer for players just because they are on the other team? Because they have a certain skin color?
Are they going to tell the Turkish fans from Istanbul that it's racist to cheer for their team at the Olympics because the other team, the Americans, is mostly black?
Our village team this year had one black, and she would keep shooting even after she missed 6 in a row. I asked the coach about this hot-dog, but he said "She's getting better..."
Reminds me of this loudmouth in another cubicle when I worked at DoD. Every morning he would talk about the NBA, and all the players he hated or called "bums" were white.
I put myself, my state, my country, my family, and all the other "groups" I belong, to, first, not last. Ethics 101. A "racist:" is a person who puts his race first, in all things, all the time.
These hard core, media-bolstered racists, like the NAACP and BLM, need to stop thinking they are special. If they don't like white people in the USA. try getting in China's face. Or India, or anywhere else in the world,. As far as I am concerned the WNBA can play on Mars, by itself. Elon, please make a big space ship for them. LOL!
UNTIL Caitlin Clark. Because she was magical.
Now, I still have not watched a game, but I get trapped watching 30 minutes when I planned to see 5 minutes. She is an AMAZING ATHELETE.
And this is temporary, during off-season.
But the proof is in the attendance. She draws great crowds. And Shame on these people for claiming it is RACISM. Michael Jordan drew huge crowds, too! There are similarities. She helps improve the entire team, like Jordan did.
Each player has 2 parents and maybe a sibling or 2...
She is one of those people that are good, correction- at the top in what they do.
I would be glad to see her back in a year or two in some political role.
