It’s not a white thing or else Paige would receive the same publicity. If it were a “pretty privilege” thing Paige would receive more publicity. It’s a skill thing. And it’s a marketability thing. She’s from the Midwest. She loves her fans and signs autographs often. She’s cultivated a great image. That’s why she’s making bank.

It was a miracle that both Bird and Clark could put their teams on their back and carried them that far. If Clark had two four star players, she would have two chips

And this is one of the reasons why I'm starting to turn away from sports, because in almost every sport and facet, it's either about race or gender. It's never about the sport.

GREAT breakdown of a complex issue!

great listening and a well balanced presentation

this was so good

Caitlin Clark is the Canary in the Cultural Mine. This is a bigger, deeper story than basketball now. How we treat her reveals how toxic the air has become. Clark is a quintessential Iowa, she is humble, good humored, loyal and charitable. - The first toxic wave was revealed in the '23 tournament: I was SHOCKED when Dawn Staley tried to frame Coach Bluder as racist/and slighted Clark/team/Iowans for NO REAON. . .This went viral and soon (some) from SC and LSU bought into Staley's bigotry. . . Iowans are VERY mellow and open to be friends with anyone, however... Iowans have no back down. This wasn't going to work out for Staley (and her Bully Club followers) the way it usually does, where they get to throw stone and get away with it. Iowans don't back down from bullies. We don't back down because they are grounded, and we know we have earned our ground. (We do, every year as farmers). - We are just as grounded in our support of youth/athletes - grounded in ethics - and more than tough from a foundation of actual hard work/knowing how to live through generations of winters (and for most boys a lot of wrestling) and for most girls support that they can do anything they set themselves to. These are the shoulders that Caitlin Clark stands upon. This Honor Culture, shared by Iowans (and Many Others all over the Country), has now brought a new light onto the dark corners of the WNBA. Now we see - the WNBA has been run by a Bully Club - along with Staley and the HS talent-monopoly club. This Bully Club acts as the big fish in the small pond. But Clark broke the barrier that held this pond in - through Clark's courage - the pond overflows and is becoming something bigger. The Bully Club now desperately wants to retain control and since Clark is beyond their control they are trying EVERYTHING to either subdue, break, or ice her out. It won't work. Clark has a MUCH bigger ocean of support behind her: a culture of honor and strong, if usually quiet, people who can't be moved by small fish, who have a strong (old-fashioned) sense of social justness, and who know what it takes to take down bullies. This is MUCH bigger than Clark, but she is caught in the middle of it. The Bully Club has used Institutionalized Abuse to subdue the league - where every rookie class must both take the abuse and then join the abusing of the next class, in order to be admitted to the Club. Clark won't do this. She won't react in kind, even if they hit her - once, twice, even dozens of time. She sees the other shore. It's not right, these dirty deep weeds they now pull her into - the physical abuse. Nor is the social bullying, icing out, or all of it. But Clark knows that this is more than her now. It is the league that needs reform. There has been a silent majority of women basketball players who have long suffered the Bully Club's abuse. They would have wanted the league to be a normal professional one: challenging but clean, passionate but sportsmanlike. They would have called for this if they had had the backing. Now they do. (Although, through all the noise, many don't now this - they don't know that WE are also here for THEM.) The main issue now is the issue of Clarity, or lack of clarity, amidst the smokescreen of all this noise. The Bully Club has used the shield of social games - "we're not bullies, we're victims, and those are the bad people...like Clark..." - to insulate themselves. Some people, fans, people not looking to see what's in the dark waters spreading around, are taking those manipulative words at face value. This has led some to believe that Iowan fans would not support all of women (of any background). We have to bring clarity through this noise. We have to communicate with good and effective sense. We need to cut the smokescreen that they would divide us with. If we make real connections, even and especially with people from different backgronds, we will recognize that we all want the same things. We want to see good sport, for ALL of the women (of all backgrounds) where they can feel safe, supported, respected and then play to the best of their genius. But first, we have to be smart enough to see all of this through, to maintain clarity through the noise of battle (a mostly communication battle) and then we need to form the clear & simple ideas for what must be done - Together we must push the expectation that the WNBA must reform to meet as a new standard that isn't just good enough for Clark, but is good enough for all of the women.

This is an incredible video. If I were Clark, I would join the Big 3 and say forget those women in the W

CC is the perfect example of why the WNBA will not be as big as the NBA, CC should be celebrated, i started watching WNBA bcs of her.

Famous quote: 'I'll never understand women. But women understand women, and they hate each other'. Perfect example of what's going on in the WNBA.

Imagine if a dude showed up to work, and everything changes for the better. More money. More recognition. More possibilities for what was a bleak future.... Imagine dudes start bodying him headed to the bathroom for reasons beyond reason. Imagine dudes start talking trash about him to the boss....

The criticism, drama and the hype is the reason why we’re all here. If you think otherwise you don’t understand how any of this works. It’s only the beginning!

CC might be my favorite basketball player period. Women’s basketball has been a breath of fresh air over the past 2-3 seasons. And Its not just CC, Paige Buckets, Juju, and the entire UConn women’s team. Women’s basketball had been doing its thing until the wnba ruined it all.

Well put.

This is a well-thought-out video. As a white, cis, male, this video shed quite a bit of light on some of the possible origins of the CC hate. It’s unfortunate that so many who want to champion “being yourself” won’t let CC do just that. The lack of activism for MJ was an issue when he played (and something that people applaud about LeBron in comparison), but he was a Black, cis, male, and the NBA - possibly due to its racial prejudiced history - wasn’t an activism-motivated league.

Well put. Sad to see that the W is biting the hand that is trying to feed them.

Great video!

This has been an absolutely depressing disgrace. It never occurred to me that something this horrible would happen to a young lady who has dreamed of being in the WNBA since elementary school. 😔😦

I can't wait for the inevitable Clark vs. Bueckers arc. Clark has always been better but Paige is on the come up and she has the approval. They faced off before but nothing compared to the potential of what could happen if they both get marketed.

great vid

Finally someone with a platform voicing the truth
