Seriously, this is so crazy.

#WNBA #Statement re: Chicago Sky @indianafever.bsky.social game: “The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, & discrimination in all forms - they have no place in our league or in society. We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter."

Well, Gainbridge Fieldhouse👀? Any action?

Seems to me the announcers, media, and internet is fueling this instance of rivalry and melodrama. I'm sure its selling seats and clicks, but does nothing to improve the sport and promote the athleticism.

I don’t think people hate the players, a lot just hate the WNBA.

nflmemewar.bsky.social•41 days ago

She’s just trying to stay relevant imo.

liondude64.bsky.social•41 days ago

But an NFL account commenting on a WNBA account isn’t ?

nflmemewar.bsky.social•41 days ago

This isn’t a WNBA account lmao. It’s the Athletic.

liondude64.bsky.social•41 days ago

Which is worse because you actually have an option to comment on actual NFL content.

nflmemewar.bsky.social•41 days ago

Check the page, that’s all I have. I randomly comment on other shit tho. Unfollow if you don’t like. 🤷‍♂️

jekyl.bsky.social•41 days ago

😅😂

financejone.bsky.social•41 days ago

What reason do they have to hate the WNBA? But really that’s besides the point, Clark’s talking about the racist hate speech knuckle dragging racists are throwing up out of their troglodyte mouths at games.

nflmemewar.bsky.social•41 days ago

I didn’t realize the season just started back up. Thought it was still the offseason just randomly saying stuff but I see it started last Thursday now lol.

losangelesfiles.bsky.social•41 days ago

thank god

wilsonz23.bsky.social•41 days ago

What a bold stance 🙄

mystakak.bsky.social•41 days ago

Glad unlike many of the talking heads, she’s using her whiteness to help BIPOCs

8thaveadultnyc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Idk what your ethnicity is but leave that BIPOC stuff on the shelf. Non white people is better but Naah to BIPOC 🛑✋

8thaveadultnyc.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’m also Black so that’s my perspective. Also if she is defending anyone from hatred it’s BLACK WOMEN and lesbian/bisexual women because that’s who gets hate in the WNBA. Speak directly.

sturmlliouville.bsky.social•41 days ago

"Whiteness" does not exist

wh6785.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’m glad that Caitlin Clark is using her platform to speak out against the racism and the homophobia that is being said in her name by some of her so called supporters.

rvnbf.bsky.social•41 days ago

She’s young. At this point in time, there is definitely a place for hatred and bigotry on this country. It’s called the Republicant party and Trump cultists. You know, the deplorables.

mulberrynyc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Already so tired of Clark.

zactytother.bsky.social•41 days ago

Calling out bigotry really hit home, huh?

nacholibrary.bsky.social•41 days ago

What in the ever living fuck could you take issue with here

mophead909.bsky.social•38 days ago

Because they are just as bad as some of her supporters

wakandangriot.bsky.social•41 days ago

No idea.

brhi.bsky.social•41 days ago

Does she know Indiana voted Trump?

zactytother.bsky.social•41 days ago

She does represent the entire state, good point.

wakandangriot.bsky.social•41 days ago

Sarcasm?

zactytother.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yup

wakandangriot.bsky.social•41 days ago

Good. 👍🏿

brhi.bsky.social•41 days ago

If not her, then who?

sturmlliouville.bsky.social•41 days ago

Your mom voted Trump

brhi.bsky.social•40 days ago

My mom is dead and she voted Clinton in 2016.

vicvinegar2024.bsky.social•41 days ago

Racists always looking for a great white hope .

willemvanherk.bsky.social•41 days ago

Good for CC, never a place for that.

spraynstarch.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nobody in the WNBA has had more hatred and bigotry directed towards them than she has.

Sadly for those assholes, the WNBA is now her world, and they're all just living in it.
