@deldea_doe@bellylint4@1dandpb5 I'm gonna cop credentials and ask every player "If you were commish, would you support AMAB players in the WNBA?" 😈 where will your favorites stand?
@bellylint4 What's there to talk about? No WNBA player would be alright competing for roster spots against somebody born male.
99.9% of them have just been "polite" enough to keep it to themselves, and folks have obliged them due to their intersectional bonafides.
i just did the BOFA thing to my mum and she goes "that's very rude" and I said "i'm sorry, i meant it as a parody" and she said "of what?" then i said "a parod-eez nuts" and i heard my dad laugh from the other room
@Ellie_Bells1@Estof973@CoachEvans25 WTF? Bird didnt speak out about this stuff, and he didn't have to. The media didnt force him to address other people running their mouth. He was literally (allegedly) dropping slurs in-game, and the guys claiming it respect him to this day. Awful comparison.
@TheJaeVESper This stuff is funny. Outside of the "jock tax," we pay all the same taxes. In fact, FICA can only tax your first $184,500 in income, so it hurts middle-class taxpayers comparatively more.
The only folks to have sympathy for these guys on taxes are folks that don't pay taxes.
This is what bothers me about this take: Nobody cares if LeBron gets along with KD or Steph. Nobody cares if Giannis likes Luka or Jokic. Why does Caitlin Clark have to get along with other WNBA players? Yes, she has a responsibility to grow the league. But not by making friends.
I usually dont get involved with CC discourse because its almost always complete lunacy but I cant ignore how INSANE this is. Sorry for the rant but this response warrants it
Caitlin Clark inarguably faces more external fire than any other professional athlete. Media outlets regularly and unfairly bash her character for no reason other than clicks. There are real groups of people online that fanaticize about causing her physical harm. Her own colleagues have borderline assaulted her on the court unprovoked on numerous occasions. She had a literal STALKER follow her across the country before being arrested and sentenced to prison
Yet somehow through ALL of that, her main focus has always been about wanting to play basketball. And through doing that, she has turned the WNBA into something that was never remotely conceivable before her. The league that was borderline bankrupt for years now have their players flying on charter jets with tripled salaries and a larger audience than ever
But she does ONE interview where her message is simply "I'm human and deserve empathy too"... and this is the response?
Someone please explain to me in crayon eating terms what the hell CC is supposed to be taking accountability for...
Y’all won’t be caught dead wearing a bonnet to the club but fighting to wear them at your universities, kid’s schools, grocery stores and every where else a little decorum is expected😭 then blame it on anti blackness, like people would say shit to you if you worse a dashiki.
