That's right 5!

@espnW It’s just a little bit of physicality. I mean, it’s a physical league right?

Marina Mabrey blocked Angel Reese TWICE 😤

@espnW Clean D by Mabrey!

@jasonwhitlock FWIW, my dad officiated over 3,000 🏀 games at the HS and collegiate level. Were he still here today, he’d be absolutely disgusted by what we now label a “referee”. And btw, he’d also call out CC’s behavior equally when warranted.

@jasonwhitlock Fair enough to point out her younger years. No one s/b above criticism. We both know, and I get it, that you appear more neutral and less one-sided, to go all in with your critique of her but, asserting AR maturity growth on ANY aspect in life is comical.

This would make sense if she hadn't exhibited the exact same behavior at Iowa, her rookie year, her second year, and now her third year. Remember when she flopped to the ground in college when kids rushed the court? I called that out in real time. The belligerent behavior during the NCAA Tourney and her dad screamed at her from the stands. I called that out. Her behavior has shown no improvement. Informed people in Iowa say it's been going on since high school and junior high. You can justify it all you want, same as Karmelo's parents. But all of these women have a story to tell about dealing with unfair treatment. You think it's easy being a 6-foot-3 woman in high school? You think it's easy being a 6-foot-3 masculine woman in high school or a tall, masculine girl in junior high? I don't like Angel Reese. But, so far this year, she's shown more maturity growth than Caitlin Clark. It's a fact. Caitlin is not a leader. She's spoiled. Fun to watch drain threes and pass the ball. But her inability to control her emotions creates problems.

@jasonwhitlock Regardless of CC’s behavior in the past, my contention is, few other athletes in history have been unjustifiably treated like she has since entering the W while an entire league turns a blind eye. If she’s had enough and will take her defense in her own hands, I don’t blame her

@Destiny32440233 😂😂😂

You telling me there’s 3 players on Angel and nobody fouled her ? Yeah aight .. smh terrible man . Yall won’t be satisfied until someone gets hurt

@jasonwhitlock thoughts?

@jasonwhitlock Loyal follower of yours with a serious question/comment? What other athlete in any sport has been treated like CC? You really logically believe them to eventually not reach a breaking point and then judge them as if they should just plod along silently?

@jasonwhitlock Further, I expect, you, like me, believe you should hold yourself to a higher standard but I also believe there comes a point where you, like me, will absolutely take the gloves off and fight back. That’s how I view her badgering of the refs and I’m 💯 here for it

@GregBroom Consistently plays bad against good teams… and good against bad teams 🤷🏾

Why do White America NEED A Great White Hope: White America has a problem! White Americans have a long history of searching for a “Great White Hope” whenever Black athletes, entertainers, or cultural figures begin dominating in a field. After Jack Johnson became the first Black heavyweight champion in 1908, much of white America desperately searched for someone who could take the title back. Jeffries came out of retirement and was openly promoted as the “Great White Hope.” When Johnson defeated him in 1910, race riots broke out across the country. The issue was never just boxing. For many white Americans, Johnson’s success *challenged the racial order they were comfortable with. Decades later, a similar dynamic appeared in the NBA. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the league’s biggest stars were increasingly Black. When Larry Bird arrived, parts of the media and fan base quickly labeled him “The Great White Hope.” Bird disliked it. The point wasn’t what Bird believed. The point was what many fans, NBA powers, media outlets and pundits wanted him to represent: *a white superstar who could stand superior against Black stars like Magic Johnson. Even some of Bird’s peers recognized the racial element. Isiah Thomas famously said that if Bird were Black, he’d be viewed as “just another good guy.” Whether people agree with Thomas or not, the comment reflected a real conversation happening around race, media coverage, and public perception during that era. Today, many observers see echoes of that same phenomenon in the coverage surrounding Caitlin Clark. Clark is very good player who earned every record and accolade she received at Iowa. But even fellow WNBA players have acknowledged that race can influence who gets promoted and marketed. Kelsey Plum publicly stated that she felt she received preferential treatment because she was straight and white and called it a problem within the league. That doesn’t diminish Clark’s accomplishments. It simply recognizes media attention are not always distributed equally. The pattern extends beyond sports. In hip-hop, a genre created and overwhelmingly shaped by Black artists. Eminem became one of the biggest-selling artists in history. Eminem himself addressed the issue directly in his song titled “White America,” acknowledging that being white made him more acceptable to certain audiences that might never have embraced a Black rapper saying the exact same things. In the song “White America” he wrote: “Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself If they were brown, Shady'd lose, Shady sits on the shelf” And “Let's do the math: if I was Black, I would've sold half I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that….” He understood that some people saw him as hip-hop’s version of a Great White Hope, and he pushed back against that idea in his own music. None of this means Larry Bird wasn’t great. It doesn’t mean Caitlin Clark isn’t great. It doesn’t mean Eminem isn’t great. They are all great talents. The question is not whether they earned their success. The question is why white America repeatedly becomes so fascinated when a white star rises in a space where Black excellence has long been the standard? History suggests that, for many white Americans, the attraction isn’t just greatness. It’s seeing someone who looks like them succeed in a field they no longer dominate. That’s what the Great White Hope phenomenon has always been about. A deceptive tactic….. A Trojan horse used to infiltrate and position their great white hope as superior over the black dominated spaces. It’s been the American MO

@JDunlap1974 Let’s not forget Mr. Green Jeans!!!

Who is old enough that they actually watched this guy?

@RoscoeJ90969218 @WNBA_SuperHater

@WNBA_SuperHater @GregBroom They're proving your point but they're to dumb to see it. Attendance, jersey sales, things I've never heard champions talk about.

These extremely arbitrary deep-dive milestones is what they use to hype her because them MVPs and titles they were expecting ain't coming.

@nahsun1 A) It’s ghetto because Angel is ghetto B)I must’ve missed CC following Cote all around the court and blocking her path back to her bench

It's "ghetto" when Angel does it tho

@MrDrakeford @JJVibe Yeah cuz every female would wanna roll up to your mansion😂😂😂

@GregBroom @JJVibe Your wife knows which one it is 😂😂😂😂 you should know too, we made you wait outside until we finished

Love her or hate her, Caitlin Clark has changed women’s basketball forever. Argue with me. Before Caitlin, people were talking about women’s basketball. After Caitlin, people were planning their weekends around it. She didn’t just bring fans. She brought casual fans, sports fans, gambling fans, media attention, sold-out arenas, record TV ratings, jersey sales, and nonstop debate. Entire teams moved games to larger venues when she came to town because demand exploded. The numbers aren’t really up for debate. The 2024 NCAA Championship drew 18.9 million viewers, outdrawing the men’s title game. Her WNBA debut became one of the most-watched games in decades. Attendance records fell. Merchandise sales surged. Economists and analysts have credited her with generating hundreds of millions of dollars in value for women’s basketball. And here’s the part that drives some people crazy: You don’t have to think she’s the best player ever. You don’t have to think she’s the MVP. You don’t even have to like her. But pretending she hasn’t transformed the visibility, revenue, and cultural relevance of women’s basketball is like pretending Michael Jordan didn’t help grow the NBA. The strongest evidence might be this: when Clark has been sidelined, national TV audiences have dropped dramatically. Her games simply attract more viewers than anyone else’s. So go ahead. Tell me which player in women’s basketball history has had a bigger impact on attendance, ratings, merchandise sales, and mainstream attention than Caitlin Clark. I’ll wait. 🍿

@MrDrakeford @JJVibe Which one yours? 😂😂😂
