Sophie responds to the article from @TheAthletic demanding Fever to drop her
"If you're going to live by the praise, you'll die by the hate.....I'm going to continue to do me.....suck it"
This is the appropriate response. We should all be more like this.
Since no one wants to say it, I’m going to. Caitlin Clark is treated the way she is by the people who cover the WNBA because she is a STRAIGHT WHITE WOMAN who is incredibly good at a sport dominated by another demographic.
For someone to arguably have the best individual season a Point Guard has EVER had, in really just her second season, averaging 22.3 PPG 8.3 APG 4 RPG - NEVER been done, ever. And finishing 4th in MVP voting receiving 5 less 1st place votes than a rookie Olivia Miles. It truly makes you wonder..
This standard that Caitlin is held to LITERALLY applies to no one else, she’s critiqued and criticized against an imaginary bar. When she accomplishes the impossible, they simply redefine what's possible.
The Caitlin Clark documentary is going to go CRAZY when her career is over and it finally drops, I can’t wait.
