Current Events > People using Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and WNBA for their race proxy war

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sucks for the players having to deal with it

Caitlin Clark dominates the WNBA mediasphere despite being on a bad team because she is a CLASSY woman

This has been your daily dose of r/nbacirclejerk

Is that's what's happening? I just hit 'don't recommend' in my feeds and continue on with my day.

Everyone is using everything for their culture war

White supremacists have been using Clark as a race hero since she was in college still. Even though I have seen no evidence that she herself shares their racist views

People who have never watched women's sports before are showing up to women's sports and acting like they have never watched any sports before

What are we doing here?

Lmao assault?!?! Jesus Christ. And the Chicago Tribune said that?

I mean yeah if someone on the street approached you from behind and pushed you to the ground thats definitely assault.

Obviously this doesnt apply to sports so its a stupid tweet, but it was a really shitty play either way

As someone that has watched the WNBA fairly religiously since its inception, its becoming nauseating to see how uneducated people are about how this particular style of ball is played.

It WAS egregious, and absolutely isn't something that's common, since it was done when the ball wasn't even in play.

Assault... Feels like a bit much, though. I mean, it probably technically would be, by the law, but that's definitely a loaded word.

It is incredible all of the attention Clark is getting. I just hope it gets people to watch the games. Cmon ya'll, watch some basketball! NBA finals starts on Thursday as well.

This sounds like some bullshit NBA oldheads would say to defend Draymond elbowing someone in the mouth.

Apparently Caitlyn isn't this saint like people are saying. She's an insane competitor which means she talks a ton of trash.

oldheads act like 80s and 90s ball was just pro wrestling with a basketball involved lmao

Also the woman, Chennedy Carter, who pushed CC has had issues with previous teams and has been benched, suspended and kicked off teams for her behavior.

I feel like the people saying "That's just basketball" are the least likely to have ever actually watched basketball.

You can't hit somebody when the ball isn't in play. Like, that's not even questionable. That's a flagrant in any league. It's not like throwing an elbow during a rebound and arguing it was a basketball move.

Wasnt even comparing it to the NBA. Was more comparing it to Womens NCAA game.

Guess I shouldve clarified.

lmao saul saw the topic title and thought it was an invitation, not an indictment

Let me go get you a dictionary. Since you don't know what hypocrisy is. If you need help spelling it, it's right there.

Except you havent demonstrated how its hypocritical and seeing as I obviously havent seen the Vogue pics I certainly cant make that determination.

Also, Ive come to realize that some people dont really understand what hypocrisy actually is so Im not really inclined to just take someones word for it.

I'm risking a lot here because Saul seems to think this is horny posting but here you go

Note to mods: This is obviously not horny posting.

The actual basketball uniforms are more revealing than the Vogue photos but Saul saw "race proxy war" and was like "Wait for me, guys!"

So just more pearl clutching as opposed to actual hypocrisy, typical.

Carter foul seemed like she was upset at the ref so decided to take it out on the perceived favorite child. I literally just saw something exactly like that in an NBA playoff game. I think it was Josh Hart against either the 76ers or Pacers (maybe on TJ McConnell?). And no one will probably remember that.

Moe ogles the women in a Sears catalog.

For Saul it's an issue of Vogue.

Angel Reese better start worry bout making some layups. 33% fg% as a big is an atrocity.
