It isn’t privilege, it is sponsors bidding on her to earn a piece. And the wnba can choose to either get on board and get the perks and popularity they’ve been griping about not having. Or they can do their current dumb shit trying to get the world to like her less because she doesn’t “represent” them and mold her into the same image and dull style of play that turned people off in the first place. And that isn’t just physical welcome to the league stuff, that is the players blatant resentment for her and insistence on spotlighting other boring players instead. This isn’t even about turning men off to the game. This is about all the young girls out there watching as the women they’ve come to idolize isn’t being accepted by a bunch of petty jealous women. And if they aren’t careful those fans they’ve been trying to pull in are going to piss off those girls and especially the parents who say enough is enough with this shit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this level of resentment to the golden goose. It never happened with lebron or Steph. It didn’t happen with tiger.instead it is coming from the very athletes who need her the most. |

Somebody just update me when this league has been saved and is finally watchable thanks to Clark. I would take some free time and watch her myself but I'm a straight American male and there are other options for us here.
I think they're too poor in the UK to buy the real sports packages where they have the MLB and NBA and NFL; so they all have like the Tier 3 package where you get the WNBA, soccer and horse riding channels. |

Players in the league owe Clark nothing. Caleb Williams has had a bunch of hype too and you can bet your bottom dollar he's gonna catch hell from defenses and nobody will be screaming about it. Why? Because he doesn't hold a privilege card. Clark just signed a huge deal that will set her up for life. She's not suffering trust me. But it will be very interesting to see if Juju's rise continue whether the same privilege will be afforded to her? And if not then it will confirm that race has played a huge role in why she's so popular with fans and sponsors alike Last edited by UChieffyBugger; 06-02-2024 at 10:30 AM.. |

And Caleb Williams is a ridiculous comparison. Yeah defenses will play him tough and hit him hard and sometimes cheap shot him. He is entering an already popular sport with mega superstars. Not a damn person is going to claim his draft position was gifted to him because he’s black and straight. |

There's a decent flow of retired NBA players calling out the league, and especially her teammates, for letting this shit go on this long.

You're a blatant hater if you really think that. Incapable of any honest debate on the subject. Just come clean, or don't. Everyone knows your game anyway.

Let’s play a game. Same exact incident, except it’s the NBA, and that’s Steph getting shoved down. You think Draymon just stands there and doesn’t do anything about it? Don’t be stupid. |
