🚨 I KEEP HEARING “THE WNBA WAS BUILT BY BLACK WOMEN AND GAY WOMEN.” OKAY… BUT WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU BUILD🚨🚨
This is something certain WNBA players and media members LOVE to say whenever the league’s new audience challenges the old guard:
“We built this league 🤣🤣🤣
Built WHAT?
For nearly three decades before Caitlin Clark arrived, the WNBA struggled financially, operated with a fraction of the attention major American sports leagues receive, and remained largely irrelevant to the average sports fan🎯🎯💯💯💯💯
That isn’t disrespect
That’s reality.
Ask the average American sports fan to name the last 10 WNBA champions.
Ask them to name the last 10 MVPs.
Ask them to name five WNBA legends who never played at UConn.
Most couldn’t do it without Google.
So spare me the superiority complex about who “built” everything.
Yes, generations of players kept the league alive. They competed, sacrificed and created its history. Give them their credit.
But keeping something alive and turning it into a MAINSTREAM PHENOMENON are two completely different accomplishments.
Then Caitlin Clark arrived.
Suddenly television audiences exploded.
Arenas that couldn’t sell tickets were packed.
Games were being moved to larger venues.
Networks wanted more WNBA inventory.
Sponsors wanted in.
People who had NEVER watched women’s basketball were scheduling their nights around WNBA games.
THAT is building a mainstream audience.
And here’s the part the old guard absolutely HATES:
It didn’t take Caitlin Clark 27 years to fundamentally change the league’s relevance.
It happened almost overnight.
So when certain players and media members start lecturing everyone about how Black women and gay women “built this league,” maybe somebody should finally ask the uncomfortable question:
WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU BUILD — AND WHY DID IT TAKE CAITLIN CLARK ARRIVING FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO FINALLY NOTICE IT?
Respect the pioneers.
Respect the history.
But stop pretending Caitlin Clark simply inherited some gigantic mainstream product.
She helped turn a niche league into something the entire sports world couldn’t ignore.
And THAT’S why this new audience isn’t interested in being lectured by the old guard 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
🚨YOU’RE EITHER WITH AMERICA OR YOU’RE NOT🚨
A Navy SEAL who spent 20 years hunting the savages who murdered 3,000 Americans on 9/11 just looked America in the eye and said this:
Anybody who supports Hasan Piker needs to rethink their citizenship.
Then he called him what he is: pond scum.
Most Democrats still won’t denounce him.
This is not politics. This is a line in the sand.
Retweet if you stand with the veteran who actually fought.
In (2024) Trump went to Detroit & met with community leaders & black families at the 180 church
In 2024 (21%) of Blacks in MI voted Trump
Blacks voted overwhelmingly against El-Sayed in Detroit
I'm calling on @realDonaldTrump to hold a MAGA style rally for Mike Rogers in Detroit... that would seal the deal for Rogers
Blacks don't want any part of Socialism
Okay… THIS one means a lot to me. ❤️
I just learned that The Washington Examiner published my op-ed, “White Guilt Is Dead — and We Killed It.”
I’m excited. I’m grateful. But I also want to be transparent:
This article took courage for me to write.
It is one thing to sit behind a microphone and tell the truth to an audience that knows you. It is another thing to put your name on an argument, send it out into the world, and know that people who disagree with you may deliberately twist what you said.
But some things need to be said anyway.
I believe we have reached a moment in America where racial accusations can no longer be treated as a substitute for evidence.
Compassion for the family of Nolan Wells does not require us to sacrifice somebody else’s children on the altar of a racial narrative.
And refusing to presume the guilt of white people is not racism.
It is justice.
As I wrote:
“They are not fighting back because the truth belongs to white people. They are fighting because truth belongs to God, and justice requires one standard for everyone.”
That is the heart of this piece.
I knew when I wrote it that the title would make some people uncomfortable.
I wrote it anyway.
Because sometimes courage simply means being willing to say plainly what everybody else has been trained to whisper.
White guilt is dead. And we killed it.
Thank you to the @dcexaminer for publishing my voice and giving this argument a much larger platform.
Please read it, share it, and tell me what you think. ❤️🔥
