You can see how these dumb things start. Woke media race baits by claiming clark has privilege due to race, sexuality and being “pretty.” Trolls on the other side come out and throw the same bait back at the baiters. Both sides shout across each other while the majority of this country just wants to enjoy some basketball, but ultimately the two sides are so polarizing they get sucked into the debate anyway.

Every other sport has mostly driven this nonsense out. This is mostly happening because the baiters who were deplatformed from places like espn know that this is a sport that still tolerates this nonsense.

This was the goal all along.

I have no idea how anyone could think she's pretty. She's 23 and suuuupper avg looking. It's kinda hard to be 23, in great shape and be avg looking.

This comes to mind:

I agree. However, I just heard someone on sports media say that she was "very pretty." I feel like these people haven't seen a really pretty girl in a loooooong time.


Caitlin is not ugly. In Pittsburg KS she'd be like a 7. In Scottsdale AZ she'd be a 4.

"Average" is being extremely generous to a woman who looks like Trevor Lawrence.

Agreed she's in that ball park.

Pitt State has an enrollment of about 5,000. There's no way Clark would be in the 70th percentile. She'd need professional hair and makeup people to reach the 40th percentile in Pittsburg, let alone Scottsdale.

There’s a pretty low bar. First of all, the whole idea of this is so ridiculous. She’s not hard to look at and that goes a long way. But that whole argument is also ridiculous because cam brink is actually a smoke show and she’s white and straight and she’s nowhere near as marketable as clark let alone angel reese.

Keep saying this but I think juju Watkins in a few years will also boost the wnba. She’s black, she’s straight, she can hoop in a way that’s fun to watch, she’s got Clark’s humility and she’s Caitlin clark level of “pretty.” And I guarantee the baiters who’ve been bullying clark won’t hesitate for a second to give juju her flowers before she even plays her first wnba minute. I wonder why

Yeah but a lot of those claiming that as one of her privileges are lesbians, so she may be...

She's a Iowa 8 which is a 4 everywhere else

She only looks good in comparison to the absolute swamp trolls that comprise 95% of the WNBA.

You see that thing Chennedy earlier in this thread or Britney Grinder? That's who she is up against to be considered "pretty". And she's got those beasts beat pretty handily

Shit, Reese calls herself "_______ Barbie" wherever she goes. But we all know she'd get rejected and thrown into the scrap bin at the factory for having eyes wide enough apart she can see 360.

except Nebraska, where she's a 10...

You ever been to Iowa City? She's an Iowa City 2. She's a random Midwestern small town 5.

Nice av. That is a 10/10 cat.

Worked with a woman from Iowa who was a total smoke show. We were both 19 and she had just moved out to Cali from Iowa lol. Hot women tend to leave the Midwest for either coast.

Clark is cute enough to catch a good looking dude. I dig tall chicks and if she's wholesome/sweet it can be a winning combo.

I've watched some of her highlights lately and like most it's the most WNBA I've ever watched.

Mizzou's Sophie Cunningham about the only reason heard anything about the WNBA until Caitlin Clark at least in Mid-Missouri.

The lesbian league didn't give her a warm welcome either, but she has quite the temper and more size so she didn't get walked on. They've labeled her as being "spicy", but that's not the term her competitive attitude earned her back home. LMAO

I'm pretty sure she's going to land a talking head gig as soon as she wants to quit playing ball. Must be the pretty privilege.

The WNBA is racist and gay. Caitlin Clark is the light.

Woof, like Clay’s dogs, them WNBA skanks be barking.

Is sad when an entire league out uglies the Chiefs Cheerleaders.

Gaycism. It's real.

Hottest girl I knew at Creighton was from Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Serious smoke show, plus smart.

Another double - double for Clark and led her team to a win! Meets the criteria established in this thread for boasting. 6 - 10 now, with 6 of those 10 losses to the best two teams in the W. She's getting it done!

how many turnovers though




j/k

It appears UCB has accepted defeat and retreated from this thread. Wise move.

He decided to take his defeats in a different thread. ROFL

LMAO

hmm maybe I can unblock him now




...nah

ROFL

Imagine that… Clark’s teammates start to shine and new to the wnba fans begin to like her black teammates. Amazing what happens when they include her instead of trying to play the villain. Now why didn’t they think about that before they decided to wage culture war.

Where is Chiefybooger

Looting a Walgreens for Juneteenth?

UChieffy was kicking his dog.

"Clark is the first rookie in WNBA history to have 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists in a two-game span."

From what I’ve seen on highlights her and her teammate Boston have developed really good chemistry playing two-women on pick and roll. And Boston looks to be playing terrific. So clark doesn’t have to do it all which despite how good she is, is so much to ask of a rookie. Still seems like she needs to develop some mid range shots and then she’ll be unstoppable

Let’s be honest. Boston wasn’t very good to start the year. Does the WNBA have advanced stats because Id love to know how many assists Clark would have if her teammates would have made easy baskets

She was absolutely awful on her own accord. But it looks like she’s playing legitimately very good right now. It seems like as the team is clicking they’re not blowing nearly as many assist potentials. Other than the other guard spot which like it’s been a black hole of suck.

You guys are really watching this stuff, aren't you?

It's June. It's sports. It's either the WNBA or pre-All Star Game Baseball.

Pickin's be slim.

I follow it and watch games every once in a while. Only clark games. Id like to see her do well and it’s fun to watch the climb. Once she’s settled in, probably check out pretty quickly. Other than her storyline I find most of the games unwatchable.

Hey, to each their own. Not knocking it, just interesting to me to observe the "Clark Effect" firsthand.


But there's still hockey (ToxSocks) so I'm still not desperate enough to watch the WNBA.

I think tiger is the best comparison because I remember watching lots of tournaments early on only because of tiger. I didn’t care much for watching golf on tv before or after the initial rush. I suspect that’ll be the case for many men with Caitlin clark but the amount of little girls she’ll pull into the game at the same time will be massive.

If you ever catch me watching the WNBA, you know it's time to take me out back and put me down.

I heard WNBA threads are a gateway drug ;)

(click, click)

what an alpha

Wait....

You called it "The W"?

Wow. That's....sad.

That's actually the league's own branding.

I've been curious if they actually paid someone to come up with "The W" or if they didn't even bother paying someone to build a marketing/branding program.

That's what it is called. I don't watch it. I just come to this thread for the entertainment. Best thread on the front page right now. But it's losing it's burst since Uchiefy accepted defeat and stepped away.

It’s weird, Chiefybooger gave us daily updates on Caitlin Clark when she was struggling and not winning. Now that she’s playing well, her attendance records are through the roof and they’re winning, ChiefyBooger is nowhere to be found.

Chiefybooger, where are you?!

Sports are sports. Will never understand the thought behind not watching a sport because of inferior athletes. As if we don’t love college sports or flat out refusing to watch little league. Especially when you have a unique talent like a Caitlin clark or a Katie ledecky. If it still doesn’t suit you then put a little money into it.

I prefer "The Dub".

So, you’re suggesting I walk across the street to the local little league complex and find someone to bet on games there with? Not sure that will be well received.

No one gives a crap about Little League except for the LLWS.

That would work in plenty of neighborhoods.

But the odds are great because the bettors have no idea what they’re doing. That’s just street smarts

Hey, bet you a 50 this pitcher hits this guy in the head.

I’ve yet to watch a minute of the WNBA

That won’t stop me from trashing most of the players and in particular Angel Reese

I'm guessing if the Sky win on Sunday, he will return with a vengeance. But if the Fever win on Sunday, he will remain in hiding.

Sadly, this is probably true.

100% proof that he's just a racist disingenuous POS.

I would the whole thing with Cameron brink and sky diggers and Lisa Leslie.

Definitely not going to like this…
