I do not understand how PWHL works but it’s giving me the early 2000 expansions from the W and I really am hoping for the best that PWHL doesn’t make the same mistake
@Whistler_kf Sure. I’ll give you that but also, you can make the same argument for again, someone like Sab and her season was literally cancelled due to COVID or even Kelsey Plum who took her school to final four for the first and only time in the school history.
In hindsight, CC in college was basically similar to someone like Mabrey or Sab; a great player on a good team in a competitive conference who couldn’t win the national title. It was incredibly premature to crown her as ‘the best ever’ when she ultimately failed to win the title
The thing is Caitlin Clark is a prototype which is what the media failed to catch on to early
She was the first of a new breed of players and unfortunately for her the likes of Olivia Miles are more polished versions
She can find a cool 2nd role and shine when it matters just likes KAT but she’s not a franchise player and that’s ok
@raya4 Yeah, I missed on that one. It comes as a dig to Sab and Marina but what I tried to say was that CC wasn’t really any better than those two even in college and yet ppl were quick to regard her as ‘best ever’ when those two and so many others didn’t get CC level of adulation
@typical_rattt@elphabastrapp I’m with y’all. I should’ve been more clear on that one and I know that Marina won it all with ND. What I wanted to say was that Sab and Marina were as brilliant as CC if not more in NCAA (and in the W) but they weren’t afforded the level of protection and adulation that CC got
World Cup match in Husky Stadium would've been so dope especially considering the light rail station is literally right there. Although, getting there in a car would be an absolute nightmare and you will be stuck there at least for 3 business days
Hard to argue against the NFL stadiums as World Cup venues. FIFA and US Soccer missed a real opportunity to feature our College football stadiums and even the college towns out here.
I think even the biggest haters would've liked it.
What's really sad about current discourse on CC is that this was so preventable. She was given multiple chances and yet, she was frustratingly passive and reluctant while reaping the benefits of it all. This is a classic example of when white woman girlbossing goes wrong
