Caitlin Clark Felt For It
I do not follow the WNBA, or the NBA, but Caitlin Clark is hard to avoid as she is in every internet search engine in the world.
While doing research, I found out the WNBA was a failed financial endeavor prior to Clark’s arrival into the league.
Clark’s professional debut, after a successful and record-breaking college career, was a lifeline the WNBA was desperately in need. Unfortunately, the Black dominated league, has been too stupid to ride the high, instead going the low route and using Clark’s God given color of her skin, to trash her every step of the way.
The only games that have sold out throughout the season were games were Clark’s team, the Indiana Fever, were scheduled to play. It is obvious, Clark is the ticket and everyone else is going along for the ride. Again, the WNBA has failed miserably to take advantage of this, once in a lifetime, phenom.
Clark was recently named Time’s Athlete Of The Year. I guess if you believe in that type of banality, you will find it a kind of a big deal, to me is nothing that matters much. Having said that, to the general public it is a significant accomplishment and one that has a huge reach.
In her interview with Time she was quoted with the following: “I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a White person, there is privilege,” Clark told Time. “A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them.
Well, I am not one to apologize for who I am or my accomplishments, so to read Clark’s statement apologizing for her so-called “White Privilege” was a big disappointment. Not only did I believe it was beneath her to say such a thing, but it was a slap in the face to her fans.
In 2023, Statista.com reported that 63.8% of WNBA players were Black, with only 19.1% percent accounting for White players. If you ask me, the percentage disparity between Black and White players is problematic to say the least.
How Black WNBA players can claim there is a race problem in the WNBA is beyond me.
“WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson said Clark being White was a “huge thing” when it came to Clark’s popularity. Angel Reese even said there had been “a lot of racism” from Iowa and Indiana Fever fans. Connecticut Sun player DiJonai Carrington, who poked Clark in the eye during a Connecticut playoff win over the Fever, previously criticized Clark for not doing more to call out racism.”
Are they serious? This is an absolutely ridiculous collection of statements that do not hold water. That would mean the WNBA has been a racist organization against Blacks the whole time, despite the fact Black players dominate the league. This is laughable to say the least.
Sadly, Clark fell for the oldest liberal trick in the book and now she has lost all credibility; or has she?
Only time will tell if this will affect the already failed WNBA. Clark was their savior, but they turned her into their own racist punching bag.
