Why is Caitlin Clark Different?

[wildturkey]

didn't see it. did it happen during a dead ball?

You keep equating one cheap shot from Carter to Clark as the whole league going after Clark because you don't understand the entire WNBA is a physical league and has been this way for years.

Like roller derby without the skates.

You forgot to answer the question.

Caitlin has had multiple technicals called against her and Indiana has lost a few close games because of officiating.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize she's a down-to-earth midwest girl in a lesbo black League.

And today's news is she's been left off the Olympic team even though she is statistically better than multiple players.

 

[Edonidd]

The old guard does NOT like her being bigger than the league in the public eye. So many people have gotten so ruffled by her getting attention.

Caitlin Clark also talks as much smack as any other player and bitches at the refs a lot.

Geno Auriemma nailed it when he said part of the problem is Caitlin Clark fans who disrespected the women's game and WNBA by thinking she was just going to dominate like she did in college and are learning that that's not how it works.

The Fever don't lose close games because of the refs...they lose close games because they are a bad team and Caitlin Clark isn't going to change that by herself...especially in her rookie season.

As for her not making the Olympic team, there are no rookies on the roster. Also, that has nothing to do with the WNBA anyway. Team USA determines the roster and they issued a statement that they were looking for players with international experience. Caitlin Clark doesn't have that.

Also, considering that the WNBA pauses it's season for the Olympics and how much basketball she has played, she could probably use the rest.

It's pretty clear there are plenty who resent her profile

 

[DJ Fieri]

I've posted before that a big part of her popularity is that she's the WNBA's version of Steph Curry. She's average size, not exceptionally athletic, not super quick, yet plays at a very high level.

That makes her more relatable for kids who fit that same physical description...which is most of them.

This is it.

She shoots from deep just like Steph...but she could eventually be the WNBA version of RW. She is all over the place, plays like a hooper with a meth addiction....always doing something.

LOL.

Caitlin's fans said she was going to dominate the WNBA? Disrespected the WNBA?

Which fans are these? Caitlin's responsible for her fans?

What's been in the media is people like Taurasi saying she's not that good.

Team USA should have picked the best players, not a bunch of old hag lesbos. They should have taken a couple of rookies on the team.

Must be why Indiana has gone from last in the league in attendance to First.

True but this one has a history....basically the Draymond of the WNBA.

Caitlin was professional enough to keep her composure and that one free throw she got was the winning margin. And the internet exploded over that foul.

She is popular, just like Steph. And people in Indiana have an obsession for hoops.

Doesn't change anything TJ or I said.

PS: I wasn't being critical of her....

You said she plays like a Hooper with a meth addiction. That's ridiculous. She's a consummate team player.

Yes.

What's been in the media is people like Taurasi saying she's not that good.

Taurasi said that she needed to get ready because the WNBA is grown women, not college kids and that they weren't going to just let her come in and take over.

Taurasi was right.

Team USA should have picked the best players, not a bunch of old hag lesbos. They should have taken a couple of rookies on the team.

They did, Experience and fit matter. The last time the Men's team just threw a bunch of "best players" together without considering fit or experience, they got a bronze medal.

And? No one said she isn't popular with fans. Try sticking to the actual topic.

So everyone else is wrong and you're right. lol

He said because she plays like Russell Westbrook...Westbrook is known for playing at 100% capacity every second he's on the floor. He's saying that's how she plays too.

Uh, what?

How drunk are you right now?

The LOL did not clue you in? LOL.

I have been nothing but complimentary about CC since she came into the League.
