Welcome back to another episode of: “Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…” 🤔
So let me get this straight…
A reporter asks a player about her own on-court actions after poking another player in the eye — specifically giving her the opportunity to clarify whether it was intentional or not since people were already debating it online — and suddenly the WNBPA releases a whole public statement, demands accountability, and treats the situation like the league is under attack.
Then someone online makes unsubstantiated claims that they “heard monkey noises” at a Fever game, and the WNBA launches a full investigation immediately, with statements, headlines everywhere and officials treating it like a national emergency.
Then just this week, a media personality falsely tweets that Stephanie White was fired, and the Fever front office suddenly rushes to contact reporters on their day off to urgently clarify that it was false.
But now you’ve got media personalities like Dan Dakich — a known friend of Lin Dunn and Stephanie White who openly claims he’s hearing things from people inside the Fever organization — publicly calling Caitlin Clark “a complete pain in the ass diva,” “entitled,” a “jackass,” and saying she’s “acting like a dick,” while nonstop hit pieces, smear campaigns, and personal attacks get pumped out daily from multiple outlets… and suddenly:
🦗 Silence 🤐
No “No Space for Hate.”
No emergency statements.
No concern about toxic media coverage.
No outrage over personal attacks.
Interesting how “protecting players” and “No Space for Hate” suddenly become highly selective, case-by-case principles that seem to depend entirely on WHICH player is being targeted. 👀
Hmmmm 🤔

@KeithMurphy Deep down she knows. She never throws people under the bus because she has class. I can only imagine what she actually thinks of white, the league, other players. When CC and Conner are alone those conversations would be cinema.
@dandakich@IowaHoops Dan has lost viewership on his podcast. He has turned against CC for clicks. Content over everything. Dan is a fraud. He has always hated Iowa not surprising this is his take.
@dandakich@milozebra@RHed65437777682@IowaHoops You turned into a woke bitch. You can’t see what they are doing to this young white lady. You’re part of the problem. Is she perfect (hell no) but does she deserve the scrutiny she is getting?? No, unless you throw in others as well.
