Nope. Good for her. I like when good players play well and get the attention. If that helps the WNBA, then great.
She backs her shit up on the court. As far as I know, she's not an outlandish, loud-mouth braggart. If she develops into a role model for younger girls, then good. |

With basketball it does happen due to the lengthy schedule but having dominant teams is the nature of the beast. How many times do we need to see Georgia or Alabama beat some no-name team 56-3? |

The obsession is we're constantly being told women are equal to men in atletics. No one is legitimately saying that. No one. News channels and pundits might say that for clickbait purposes, but no one is legitimately saying that. Most of the stupid fucks doing "athletic news" are just trying to find clickbait topics to create controversy. From Stephen A Smith down the line. Everyone knows that even Serena Williams at her prime would likely lose to a 300th ranked men's player. But both sides know this. Like when morons on the right say "The US women's national team got beat by middle school boys." Again, it's all clickbait. They never mention the "middle school boys" is a nationally recognized top tier academy in Texas that pulls players from all over the world. These are not your average middle schoolers, most of them would destroy just about everyone in GD when it comes to workout stats/performance. Even a 6 foot 170lb middle schooler is physically stronger than an adult female. But again, none of that matters. News is all about clickbait bullshit. No one is saying Caitlin Clark is going to school Pistol Pete. She simply has the highest NCAA scoring record. If some dumbass like Stephen A Smith says Caitlin Clark could beat Pistol Pete, he's only saying that for ratings and controversy. Half the people bitching in this thread don't even understand the topic: "Who cares about the WNBA, no one watches it!" Great dude! You're right. But Caitlin Clark doesn't play in the WNBA. She's a college senior. So bitch all you want about the WNBA but it doesn't matter in this convo regardless of the subject heading. And when people want to argue with me, all they can say is white knight or "you must be a girl" rather than taking 4 seconds out of their day and trying to understand her impact. |

Iowa (the college team that Caitlin Clark currently plays on) will be playing against Colorado in 3 hours.
Will try to find a link to the game. Wish we all had VR headsets with smell-o-vision so I can taste your tears in real time. |

That’s an amazing accomplishment. That’s not quite the same as the best basketball player. There are a lot more complete players in the history of the women’s game. Exactly. She's good for the game though. Women's basketball sucks. The most depressing part of high school is dating a women's basketball player and having to sit through a game when the winning score is 48. Caitlin Clark is making women's college basketball fun again. She's playing sold out crowds, she has kids making signs supporting her and filling seats. If someone can get kids off their fucking phones and physically playing basketball outside, she's already won. She's not conceited, is a good teammate, and doesn't post stupid shit on social media. Swear if she was a tranny with a swinging dick between her legs trying to play women's basketball, she would get 10X the posts here. Even her dad tells her to stop bitching when he sees her complaining (and I will admit, opponents will constantly foul her hard). How can you hate that? Of all the shit you guys complain about it, this isn't all that bad. Caitlin Clark's dad tells Clark to stop complaining |

I never heard of her. Must be a hometown hero wherever OP lives? Biological man playing in a female league?

JFC GD really does hate everything. She's an actual woman playing against other women and kicking ass. She seems to be pretty humble. She's dedicated to her sport. She's someone who doesn't deserve to be noticed for her abilities? I can think of worse things for the media to talk about. Sometimes it's nice to hear something positive with all the other bullshit going on in the world. I hate sports but I don't mind hearing about a girl being successful in a girl's sport.

I hear she drove a car once - the horror.
She went to a Christian school(Dowling), is straight (is/was dating one of Franimals sons), was born a woman and has what seems to be a normal supportive family. She begs for fouls to much and the you can’t see me bs, but she will likely beat 99% of the GD basement dwellers. She is good for the sport and what GD wants so we must hate her. Though we may get to see her play men if takes the Big 3 offer. |
