Correct me if I am wrong, but when Tiger Woods brought interest (money) to the PGA, I don't recall these type of actions/conversations taking place?

Fuzzy Zoeller got in trouble for a remark about Tiger Woods wanting fried chicken and collard greens served at The Masters. But that kerfuffle quickly passed.

Regardless of what actually led to Carter's foul on Clark, I think even the most entrenched Clark truthers would admit she's no sweetheart.
She's definitely a shit starter and a shit talker but, from what I've gathered, she's masterful at it. She pushes the right buttons throughout the contest until she gets the ultimate reaction. This is a major component of both her game and the resentment towards her. Nobody liked that kid in school, the manipulative teacher's pet who never seemed to get caught doing wrong but always managed to provoke others to the point of getting in trouble. Granted, this isn't anything new - getting into your opponent's head to take them out of their game and make them do something uncharacteristic to their own detriment. However, for Clark, this is compounded by all the hype, the unprecedented endorsement deals, royal treatment and a large segment of the media saying she's the savior (or the golden goose as somebidy labeled her earlier in the thread) of the WNBA and all the veteran players need to 'let her cook'. Now, could Carter and/or other players simply be hating her because she's white and straight? Possibly but I'd say that notion is laughably absurd. I think if any player holds resentment toward Clark it's for reasons I stated earlier. That's why demanding that the WNBA and it's veteran players wilt so that Clark can thrive is asking for an even bigger bullseye on her back. |

Clark understands she is a ball player but also entertainer. |

![]() But sadly if you have any other view about Clark other than "she's a God and everyone should bow to her", the morons will start crying and throw their dummies out their prams. |

ANYWAY UPDATE ON CLARK!!..
Indiana had a tough back to back game against New York tonight and it was Clark's worst performance of the season. She was 1/10 from the field and 1/7 from three as they were blown out by 36 points to move to 2-10. There was no drama in this game. She didn't get roughed up. And both Mitchell and Smith both got 21 and 17 respectfully to help Clark but Caitlin just laid a massive egg. I'll give her some grace because they did have a tough war yesterday against Angel Reese and Co and New York are a top team. But the slump from three continues to be an issue. |

And nobody is saying players should let her cook. The question is why the wnba allows it to happen. They’ve been swallowing their whistle as she gets lots of hard fouls. This hard foul wouldn’t even be a controversy except that even after official review, the refs stupidly still decided to call this a common foul even though it’s enough to get most nba players ejected. If they want to play her tough and shut her down like ny did, great. But in most games it’s blatantly obvious she is not getting nearly the number of free throws for as much as she gets pushed around |

It’s crazy to think that between a few weeks of preseason and that schedule this is probably the first week they can legit practice. |

Nah those days are over. Angel Reese, Cam Brink, Aja Wilson etc are all there and Paige and Juju will be joining soon. The league will get bigger with or without Clark.
