Clark just became the first WNBA Rookie to record a triple double. Clark finished with 19/13/12 as the Fever broke New Yorks 9 game winning streak.

Clark sets yet another WNBA record. She broke the single-season rookie assist record of 224. She had 9 assists yesterday to reach 232 for the season. She broke a 26 year old record set in 1998. I didn't know the WNBA existed in 1998.
Clark leads the WNBA in assists at 8.3 per game.

She’s on pace to break the all time season record for assists too. To be fair, the record is only a year old as apparently they expanded the amount of games in recent years. She’s already 1 of the top 5 players in the league IMO.

She's the best player in the league.
After some chatter that Angel Reese is somehow in the running for CO-Roty, Jason Whitlock said “ANGEL REESE IS ARGUABLY THE MOST OVERRATED ATHLETE IN ALL OF SPORTS.. SHE’S INCREDIBLY UNATHLETIC… SHE HAS NO SKILL, NO POST-GAME… THAT’S WHY SHE HATES CAITLIN CLARK SO MUCH.”

I don't watch or keep up on basketball at all, but I have to say up until the olympics, I pretty much never saw anything on the WNBA and now it seems like articles are coming out daily now on news sites and they always feature blacks. It couldn't be more obvious that this is a response by the media to the meteoric rise of Caitlin Clark. It's like they have to try and convince people that a black girl is the best player in the league while at the same time just hoping that they don't happen to watch Caitlin Clark play. I have watched some footage of her and she's without a doubt the best player in the league. Barring injuries or some other thing that shortens her career, she's likely to become the best WNBA player of all time by a long shot. She can literally carry a team with her ability to run an offense and shoot. She also seems to possess something that many whites don't, a complete confidence that she herself is the best and it doesn't matter who is in front of her because she is going to beat them. She seems to have zero fear and doubt. A mindset that is like cryptonite to the caste system and it's believers.

Clark sets the single season assist record as a rookie.

"A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them. The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it's very important. I have to continue to try to change that. The more we can elevate Black women, that's going to be a beautiful thing."

all this does is fuel black hatred of whites imo. Doesn't do anything to foster harmony like this stupid b thinks it does.

Women's basketball does seem to (almost exclusively) promote white players. Beyond Caitlin Clark, the only WNBA players I see on endorsements or in news articles are Cameron Brink, Hailey van Lith, those blonde twins, and Paige Bueckers. I know of 2 black players - Angel Reese and Britney Griner for obvious non-basketball reasons. This is, of course, not about racism but the fact that no one actually cares about the WNBA, despite whatever increase in ratings they've seen. Instead, there are a handful of presentable white women they can market as athletes and that's it. This level of race cucking from Caitlin Clark is embarrassing but frankly more justified than it would be for a male athlete, because society does still put white women on a pedestal to a certain degree.
The haters have succeeded in making CC feel guilty for being the only women’s basketball player that a normie recognizes or cares about. You can “elevate” the black women players all you want, but nobody cares. They’re predominately ugly dykes. The White women of the WNBA have been predominately ugly dykes. Nobody wants to watch that, especially when the product is equivalent to a high school male JV game.
Again, White athletes are not elected or unelected spokesmen for the White race. First of all, we have no idea what Caitlan Clark's personal beliefs are. My guess is the vast majority of White athletes are not White nationalists or otherwise particularly racially aware. If that's true are we then not going to root for them? We have posters here who like to transfer their personal beliefs to White athletes they don't even know and then criticize them for not "speaking out."
Caitlan is in an overwhelmingly black environment. There is no one in the WNBA, or more importantly in the corporate media, who is going to show any sympathy for her on racial grounds. If she says anything remotely perceived as "pro-White" then the target on her back will grow exponentially larger and who wants to see that. The number one rule of the media going back many decades now is that Whites can never be shown positively as a race or as racially aware individuals.
Has Donald Trump spoken out on her behalf on racial grounds? He just won a landslide victory yet still remains allergic to saying the word "White." Has any elected representative anywhere in the country? If you want racial change it starts with you as individuals and with those elected to represent you politically, not with random White athletes who are periodically targeted here. How easy it is for anyone sitting in front of a keyboard to critique those who are on the front lines and what they have to deal with.
What Caitlan Clark has accomplished as a person and as a basketball player in an arena where she has been shown overwhelming hostility is very admirable. That's what we're here for, to root for her and others and to try to raise enough awareness of the Caste System that it will begin changing in a major way. I expect nothing more from her than to be the best basketball player and the best person she can be knowing the written and unwritten rules that govern her profession. Until things change and maybe they will in the next few years as the Awakening continues, every White athlete has to recite a certain amount of boilerplate praises for Blacks whether they personally believe it or not. Yes, you can certainly lament the lack of White awareness and solidarity in society in general, but once you start making it personal to particular athletes I'm going to push back strongly, as I have every time without exception since starting this site.
And I'm writing this not to solicit argumentation, this thread is about Caitlan Clark the great female basketball player who we support just as we support all White athletes in general, period, end of discussion.

Great post Don! She backs everything up on the court and is a relentless competitor every game which is all we can ask for a young lady despite all the abuse she has taken.

Yeah, she's taken a beating over on X for her comments as well. I get it that some are dismayed that she "bent the knee", but you are correct in your assessment of her work environment and what is expected. She could have omitted the "white privilege" part though. Not only is it BS, but it will end up causing her trouble.

I don't think Clark needs to be outspoken in any other way. Just needs to stop with the "White privilege" nonsense.

The WNBA is 81 percent black. No reason to say that other than for money and endorsements. Take the knee and get paid. I
hate this society we live in. Too many white fans will just continue to be brainwashed by the incredible double standards.
I don't think she believes it at all. I think she wanted to get more endorsements in my opinion.

Generally speaking, women are absolute birdbrains. This description can be particularly pronounced in young white women, who are still living in a period of largesse where they can trade professionally on identity politics as women while benefitting from being sexually desirable to most of the other half of the world. Among the subjects I would not seek advice from women (especially young white women) are politics, romance, religion, finances, and perhaps most of all, social issues. Caitlin Clark offering up a boilerplate birdbrain answer on race does not lower my opinion of her one bit!
I believe she was born with privilege, too! She wasn't a bone-in-the-nose Zulu lesbian!

What Phall said. FTR I don't think what I call Little Missy of the Suburbs Syndrome to survive much longer before white girls below a certain social class are deemed little more that the "groomable." Bill Clinton gave us this electoral strategy of targeting that demographic and their parents but it like other political strategies loses its effectiveness over time.
As for the basketball player and her issue its just simple to say it like Leonardfan said, not up with the white guilt crap and move on with life. Just stop failing the **** tests they throw at us, life is much better.
