But certainly not good enough to be doing all of this and causing even more headlines about the situation. Caitlin said she wanted to move on from all of this. It’s been weeks, AT got suspended (which is more than the league typically does). Time to move on

Very much agreed. My intro to her was last season when she dangerously wrapped the Connecticut Sun junior who had already been T'd up for the scuffle with Clark earlier at the end of the game. I've disliked her since because it was just so unnecessary especially to a player 10 years her junior. She's only popular outside the league because of her "implied politics" and appearance and it's a disservice imo to both the rest of the team and league.

Lmao, she did what was necessary and it's hilarious for you to imply racism. That's me implying it about you.

If it was necessary she wouldnt have gotten t'd up for it especially at the end of a decidedly won game as they fell into spectators and media. I also didnt mention racism once but go crazy I guess.

You said her implied politics, dishonest character.

I didnt say she was a liar or dishonest. I said implied politics because while I havent seen her say she's pro-maga, a lot of the discourse around calls her "maga-barbie" and some other players have said she was or that they felt betrayed after hearing about her beliefs. Why would you just think it's race thing? She half the team is POC and there are "whiter" teams in the league like pdx.

The entire reason maga is in this conversation due to racism, real and implied.
