@darealBBrown @JonnyRoot_ The way you all conflate less than a second vs 8 minutes is sick work. Just say you don’t watch basketball

@GideonReaper @JonnyRoot_ Thomas did more than Derek Chauvin, luckily CC wasn’t high on fentanyl or she could have died
English

Phoenix Mercury associate head coach Kristi Toliver showed support on Instagram for Alyssa Thomas, who was suspended for one game for punching Caitlin Clark in the throat.
She included a quote from Michelle Obama’s 2016 DNC speech: “When they go low, we go high”
The full quote is: “How we explain that when someone is cruel, or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level - no, our motto is, when they go low, we go high."
Thomas punched Clark in the throat & kneed her in the groin, but Thomas is the victim?! This level of delusion must be studied…

WHY IS CAITLIN CLARK A TARGET?
@HollywoodLadyj says some WNBA veterans are unhappy with the attention Caitlin Clark has received since entering the league.
“You have players that are mad at her status, but she earned it.”
English

@MadTweeter11 @JonnyRoot_ YOU BLANKIN' (FILL IN THE REST WITH WHATEVER ADJECTIVES YOU LIKE! DON'T HOLD BACK! ) A (SPELL HER NAME AS APPROPRIATE TO HER CONDUCT) THOMAS SHOULD BE JUST FLAT BANNED FROM THE SPORT AND CRIMINAL ASSAULT CHARGES FILED.

@janninereid1 @CaitlinClark22 Remind me again what has she won on any level
English

Please pray for Caitlin Clark.🙏 She is receiving a lot of hate... especially from the black community.
Why?
Because, she's in a sport that is predominantly black players and she is a better player than them and they know it!
@CaitlinClark22 hang in there. Stay strong sweetheart.🙏

English

@AVGirl4Life The amount of praise you all give to a player that has never won anything on any level really needs to be studied
English

She should leave the loser thug league and let them go bankrupt like they deserve.
New York Post@nypost
Fans can't believe WNBA excluded Caitlin Clark from 30th anniversary poster trib.al/DKS8rW0
English

@TheBubbaArmy Remind me again about her licensing agreement over her image ?
English

@ChuckGrassley Did you watch the play in real time or just looked at still images?
English

Caitlin Clark has done more for women’s basketball than anyone in a generation, growing the game, filling arenas, and inspiring kids across this country to pick up a ball.
What happened the other night was wrong, and the league needs to make sure it never happens again.
But none of that changes what Caitlin does next.
She’ll get back up, compete at the highest level, and keep proving why Iowa produces champions.
That Iowa grit doesn’t quit, and neither does she.
We’re proud of you, Caitlin. All of Iowa is behind you.
English

@Jacobtheclipper Remind me again about CC and the rights to use her image?
English

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 When CC wins a chip the. I will talk about her
English

The WNBA has completely mismanaged its biggest star in Caitlin Clark and it’s sad to see.
Caitlin Clark didn’t do it alone and there are a number of current and former players who helped pave and maintain the way, but Caitlin Clark has been the primary catalyst for the WNBA’s new media rights deal, new CBA, having to move games to bigger arenas, getting private chartered flights and so much more.
Yet when she is targeted in ways on the court that aren’t about basketball, it’s brushed aside as “physicality” or “just the way we play in the W”.
No.
What Alyssa Thomas did to Caitlin Clark was not about basketball.
What Alyssa Thomas did to Angel Reese was not about basketball.
It was a cheap shot.
It was dirty.
It was done on purpose.
And it’s hurting the WNBA as a whole.
What’s also sad is that because of the mismanagement of Caitlin Clark by the WNBA as a whole, the fact that HISTORICALLY INCREDIBLE BASKETBALL IS BEING PLAYED in the WNBA and it’s not being talked about enough.
Marina Mabrey tied the WNBA record for most points in a game with 53 points, 6 Rebs, 2 assists and tied the WNBA record by hitting NINE 3’s for the Toronto Tempo 🤯
Rookie Olivia Miles broke Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers’ WNBA record for fastest to score 300 points and have 100 assists. Clark and Bueckers did it in 19 games, so Miles did it in 18.
Olivia Miles has also lead the Minnesota Lynx, without star player Napheessa Collier, to the best record in the league and #1 in every major offensive statistic.
Angel Reese just became the fastest player to get 1k rebounds.
There is so much greatness happening in the WNBA, and it’s being ignored because people don’t want to celebrate it when the league won’t even protect its own players from unnecessary targeted behavior.
Some people don’t want to celebrate the WNBA when the league won’t protect its most marketable player that is the driving force behind its increased awareness.
But I will say the quiet part out loud.
The facts today still show that far too many people are making things in the WNBA about race or sexuality and not the results.
Drawing a line in the sand and defending any player’s dirty play just because of the color of their skin is wrong.
We shouldn’t be denying the truth of what we see and situating or views of the truth along color lines.
Caitlin Clark and every WNBA player wants to compete at the highest level. They are tough and the best female basketball players in the World.
They don’t want to be involved in identity politics or race wars. They just want to play basketball.
Right & wrong has no color.
Alyssa Thomas was wrong for what she did.
Caitlin Clark is a phenom, the WNBA has been wrong at so many turns with how they have handled her and the WNBA needs to improve its officiating.
Olivia Miles was the right pick for Minnesota and is the runaway Rookie of the Year right now.
Marina Mabrey was the right move for the Toronto Tempo.
Angel Reese was the right move for the Atlanta Dream.
Don’t pick sides based on the color of a player’s skin or their sexuality.
Let’s just talk basketball.
What Alyssa Thomas did wasn’t about basketball, she is rightfully getting crushed for it and got suspended.
But everything doesn’t have to be a race war.
It shouldn’t be.

@TheHerd @colincowherd Until CC wins something I think we should stop talking about her

"It's either incompetence or intentional, both are embarrassing... This is a paranoid, weird, insular league."
@colincowherd weighs in on the latest Caitlin Clark disrespect from the WNBA

@Goodfella_100 You know we are in the end times when Jason Whitlock is making sense

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms heaven forbid these Democrats y'all impeachments not even the big concern They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they'll go after the president's family the cabinet his donors and friends."
This is exactly WHY Democrats need to win the midterms! Thanks for selling it @MikeJohnson.

Seth Rogen says Sylvester Stallone has only made four good movies.
"What's the over/under on actual good Stallone movies? I think it's like four." - Ike
"Demolition Man. Tango and Cash is enjoyable, but it's not a good movie." - Seth
"Stallone is maybe not as good as Schwarzenegger. Not even close. Predator alone is better than anything Stallone has made." - Ike
"Stallone has no Terminator 2, no True Lies. Schwarzenegger is in legitimately great movies." - Seth
"Stallone made a run from 1997 to 2012 that was rough. Do you remember Driven? Daylight? He's trapped in the Holland Tunnel. His character's name is Kit Latura." - Ike
