    I feel bad for Clark, all the women she helped finally be relevant hate her because she is white.

    I have never been impressed with women’s basketball before Clark. Swoopes, cooper, sue bird, blah blah blah, who cares. They were good women basketball players. But they did not captivate you with insane skill and ability. They did not draw eyeballs from everywhere. Clark would have drawn us in if she were white, black, brown, or purple. She is special.

    Is it possible that some white people might not adore Clark if she were black, hispanic or asian? Sure, there are probably some. Shame on them.

    Is it possible that some black people and some WNBA players resent Clark because she is white? I think there are definitely some. And shame on them.

    Both groups are wrong headed about this.

    The most famous and successful athletes have been black and their skin color never held them back from reaching insane popularity heights and achievements. Racism hasn't been a part of sports for a very long time.

    If anything, sports has risen beyond politics, race or religion. People tune in and set aside everything for these tremendous athletes to do what they do for the teams we love and hate.

    This is a rare case of a white girl doing things that have never been done before in her league but a certain group of people want to make it about race instead of her skill. No way this is ever an issue if she was black. There aren't two groups, there is one group making a problem out of it.

    Clark should identify as black so the woke people can stop bothering her....

    No it is people like this **** who make people dislike her. He just said she is the only reason the entire sport is worth watching. It isn't her they dislike, it is her supporters. He just denigrated every WNBA who paved the way for her.

    This situation is very petty and pathetic -- and pretty much the reverse of Tiger Woods in golf..

    White golfers mad at a black man for ballin -- and black players mad at a white girl for ballin.

    Everyone should just shut their mouth and be happy somebody might finally care, a little bit, about their nonprofitable sport finally getting some run.

    Angel Reese is a dumb, lying, privileged hypocrite and it's sad because she came from money.

    the current WNBA players don’t understand economics and marketing

    this is somewhat similar to Messi going to the MLS
    Obviously Messi came in as a legend and was guaranteed to sell tickets and tv subscriptions
    Before that MLS wasn’t that popular

    Clark is getting all the deals because she’s the reason people want to watch the WNBA

    people want Michael Jackson not Tito

    Wokies want to claim their is racism against black people in America but when a highly ranked and super talented black player comes into the NBA everyone adores him. (Wemby).

    When a highly ranked super talented white women gets into the WNBA its only because she is white that she is popular..... Bruh, woke people are literally racists against white people and its okay to them...

    I think they understand economics and marketing in general terms, and that Clark is bringing in eyeballs, revenue and geoth potential to the league. I think they are jealous that she is an unproven rookie getting attention, money and crowned as great already. Some of them are jealous because they have played in the league a while and gotten none of this. Some of them dislike it even more because Clark is white.

    Would have never been an issue before but the woke movement and created division and racism....
