The hatred being heaped toward Caitlyn Clark by other players in the WNBA is embarrassing. A civil right probe may be in the works. There is an obvious jealousy of her noteriety , her fan following and her talent. The battle line sadly seems to be drawn largely along racial lines. Is this the green eyed monster and the pettiness of the female psychie? Caitlyn Clark stole the limelight and the "mean girls" are getting even! It's a sad commentary about women.
 

Are conservatives intellectually capable of engaging racial issues through mediums which aren't pop culture and sports?

It's like when we expose children to shows like Sesame Street which teaches them life lessons through simple metaphors and analogies except it's way more embarrassing (and terrifying) because we're talking about adults with the right to vote.

Comparing children to conservatives is seriously offensive.

For Gods sake, they're just kids.
 
Caitlyn Clark, a great white player in a sport dominated by Black athletes, is the face.

Angel Reese, the one with the ring but not the recognition, is the heel.

Vince McMahan couldn’t have written it better.

To the left care about them before they started complaining about not being paid enough?

Let's be honest though the green dildos are the best thing for the WNBA.

There’s the respect for women in sports that the right is known for
 

You might want to broaden your horizons if you get your commentary about women from WNBA players.

I can't deny there is some irrational hate being thrown at Clarke but making into some civil right probe is laughable.

Because conservatives cannot come up with any solution to a grievance that doesn't involve government intervention and more state agents in our lives.
 

Racial lines, indeed.

"WNBA players were subject to racist abuse online and in person in the build-up to and during Indiana Fever's and Connecticut Sun's second game of the series. It followed a foul by Connecticut Sun's DiJonai Carrington on Caitlin Clark in game one that left the Indiana Fever star with a black eye. Although both players said the injury was unintentional, Carrington shared an email on social media which referred to her by a racist slur and threatened her with sexual violence. The Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas said: 'I think in my 11-year career, I've never experienced the racial comments [like those] from the Indiana Fever fanbase.' The Connecticut Sun coach Stephanie White said it was 'unacceptable' while the Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides added: 'It is just not acceptable when it gets personal'."

When you see the violent fouls that don't get called—fouls that would get an NBA player tossed—you know the WNBA is milking the controversy. The refs have received their instructions.
