Christine Brennan probably throwing up reading that Time piece seeing CC strongly denounce her crusade

Big Cait's self awareness >>

On a side note, they did a lovely photo spread for her. She looks great

 

[addict4sneakers]

CC a real one

 

[Public Enemy]

Yeah she's getting better and better. Highlighted for the future:

I hope they listen. I hope people stop harassing these other players and other teams and anybody who is her opponent or who dares act like the WNBA is a real actual thing bigger than any one player. Just stop.

Congrats to her for being Time's athlete of the year. Can't wait for year 2.

I respect Clark for not snitching when the world knows the eye poke was intentional. Just cook them on the court and further prove they can't hold you. #JordanRules

Big Cait's self awareness >>

Absolutely.
I just get really annoyed with people and narratives (and also just people ).
Like the full quote from one of the things you posted:

I saw/heard so many narrative-based responses online and in person where people were taking that sentiment of hers and going "Ooooh, taking shots at Diana Taurasi being on the 2024 squad."
She's not taking a shot at anyone. She's expressing HER values.

"No, you have to be smart enough to read between the lines like me. You don't have the social awareness that I do."

Then when you try to show them the flaw in the narrative they're running with, now you're crazy & argumentative.

Meanwhile, she's still just sharing her own values, narratives be damned.

Mad she gave in.

This is what "they" wanted her to say from the jump. Let's see if all the hatin stops.

“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege,” says Clark. “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.”

When I first saw that, my eye just caught this part and I thought they were doing a Ben & Jerrys x WNBA collab and I was HERE FOR IT

@ Swoopes response to the CC comments of uplifting black women.

“I feel like I always have had really good perspective on everything that’s happened in my life, whether that’s been good, whether that’s been bad. And then obviously coming to the WNBA, like I’ve said, I feel like I’ve earned every single thing that’s happened to me over the course of my career,” Clark explained.

“But also, I grew up a fan of this league from a very young age. My favorite player was Maya Moore, like I know what this league was about. And like I said, it’s only been around 25-plus years, so I know there’s been so many amazing Black women that have been in this league, and continuing to lift them up I think is very important, and that’s something I’m very aware of.”

Bit Cait hitting all the right notes and not letting others speak for her

Paige need to get her energy up. In the pros the on ball defense will be way harder than college
