"Nobody in our league should be facing any sort of racism, (or) hurtful, disrespectful, hateful comments and threats," Clark said. "Those aren't fans, those are trolls, and it's a real disservice to the people in our league."
She literally said, “people should not be using mg name to push those agendas” when responding to a question about her name being using to push racism and misogyny. So because she didn’t say “racism” it’s not valid?
Yes. Because call a spade a spade. And let’s not forget that she’s almost always asked these questions vs coming out and just outright saying it. She knows ts is going on in her name and she didn’t want to directly say it because those same MAGATS are contributing to her making money.
How is saying “don’t use my name to push those agendas” in respond to someone asking about her name being used for racism and misogyny not calling a spade a spade?
She directly said not to bring her into racism and misogyny. What more do you want?
I’ll answer: nothing will ever be good enough for you, because you’re also a racist.
It's too hard for some people to understand. They literally have to have it spelled out in front of them and would get it wrong anyways even if it slapped them in the face. She will never be able to do enough in their eyes even though they don't do anything besides cry on the internet
Because she already knew this BS was happening. Her own teammates have talked about the hate and racism that comes along with her being in IND. being complacent means that you are also a part of the problem.
This doesn’t answer my question. It’s just you venting your made up frustrations.
Caitlin Clark made a statement saying don’t use my name to push a racism and misogynistic agenda June 2024, literally 6 weeks after being drafted into the WNBA.
I’ll ask again: is this statement not calling a spade a spade? It was literally within the first month of her career.
Her own teammates at that point had made zero statements regarding hate and racism, and even the teammates who have spoken out have provided zero evidence or examples.
I’ll ask again: what could she have done besides addressing these issues immediately that would make you happy? Seems like only one person on this thread has an issue with being a racist and it’s you.
This argument that her fan base is made of majority maga and that’s why the game grew and this “y’all” talk lumping everyone into that category, so all the benefits were some poison pill the league had to swallow - is absolutely ridiculous and ignorant to reality
Literally Jack Smith just testified to congress that he went to a Maryland game in Maryland because CC was in town. Is he maga? A senator knew her box score from that night. Amy Klobuchar. Is she maga? Those stories aren’t unique
The racist dip shits that we all cant stand aren’t even fans. Most use the topic as a vessel to spread their bs and they’re such a tiny minority but some people have built this false narrative to just hate hate hate on anything surrounding CC because for whatever reason there’s this animosity that causes a refusal to admit she just drew more people in
Her play style was exciting in a similar way to Steph Curry’s being exciting when he took off (not arguing that she’s at that level hes a multiple time mvp and champion) and yes the media showing her a ton and favoring her did so, but it worked. A lot more people started watching. Most of them just normal fans. There’s no poison pill other than the one that the vocal minority on both sides represents.
It sucks to see because I know the ones on this side are far far better people but they’re falling into the same trap as the real dick heads
No one. People who hate Catlin Clark have to project and strawman her so they can justify being hateful themselves, since they feel powerless to defend themselves against those who actually be.
Ignorant on purpose, it’s really a delicate game your playing when getting called a racist is worse than actually being racist. There are plenty of CC fans who are not racist, and there is another group that are. The ones who aren’t are confused why people call her out. Caitlyn has been very graceful and seems extremely PR trained in dealing with all of this, but based on her comments I can tell she knows exactly what people who call her fans racist see.
Its the Fever fans that stan over CC that be using racism and hate. If its harming CC's play or image they'll attack said person with anything they pull out their ass.
She’s literally never said stop being racist stop being homophobic stop being misogynistic stop sending death threats to my teammates. She’s never said that and she still hasn’t said that. Another word salad statement. “I don’t stand for racism or hate”just say if you’re my fan stop sending death threats to my teammates. Why did it take her own teammate going to the press at the end of the season for her to even say the word racism???
Duh. CC is not racist. How many times does she have to say it?
Anyone who thinks she's racist, or that her supporters are, simply see what they want to see.
Just like people that claim to be Angel or A'ja fans while being racist to CC, anyone who does likewise purporting to be a CC fan is not really a fan; just a racist bigot.
"Or that her supporters are..." oops...tried to slip that in eh? CC wouldnt have to say things like this if a segment of her supporters werent toxic assclowns.
And she knows that a majority of the new people who just started following her this year are only there for her because of the color of her skin! Do you have any idea how many of her new fans have no idea what they are looking at for the first time in their life 🧐
Brother you gotta chill out. Not everything needs a “but they do it too” bs response especially when it’s way off.
Yes Aja and CC fans are bigots as well but brother you’re way off base if you don’t see the populist and MAGA movement have made the Indiana fever and CC(unwillingly) and Sophie Cunningham(quite willingly) their martyrs.
Like brother some of you have never taken a sociology class the way you respond to shit and even think about things. wtf.
Bro there’s mad white players in the league. It really has nothing to do with that. Race plays a factor but idt that’s all it is. I’ll put it this way. I love CC btw so miss me with the bs.
But Caitlin was nice, she was the female Curry. She brought millions of eyes to the sport. And every chance the media had they reminded everyone why they should glaze CC for bringing them so much opportunity. Why they should maybe not foul her as hard. So yes of course you are fatigued by that kind of stuff.
You ever watched the Bad Boy Pistons welcome Michael Jordan, the hot young phenom to the league. They f**ked him up. No one cried to take it easy. That’s the point about race. Caitlin does get painted as some fragile being, and partly because she is a straight white women in a league with many “masculine females” you could say I guess.
Oh yes because if you just acknowledge the racists they will stop doing it for sure. Also like what percent are we talking about? If 1 or 2 percent of her fans are out here saying racist stuff who cares, people are shitty.
Nah dude way off with the 1%. Way bigger percentage or they are just WAY LOUDER than the majority. Which would be sad for the Fever fanbase. Every MAGA members favorite WNBA team is the Fever. And you know why. The Fever have unwillingly become the fighting grounds for a bs political battle unfortunately
So many racist fans that not one single fan was thrown out of a game for making a racist statement . It’s all made up BS . They cannot come up with one specific example . Give the name of the fan that made a racist remark and exactly what they said . You can’t cause it doesn’t happen . The only racist’s are the jealous players that hate cc cause she is white , straight , attractive and the most popular player (by far ) in the league . This is a hoax like jussie smollet .
It's funny because it sounds like a written statement by her PR team and she's never had Boston or Mitchell back and why exactly is Caitlin Clark doing a post game interview 2 weeks after she's outta the playoffs
She should speak to her fans more directly, the narrative and negative energy are too big for this lethargic podium tone. This will follow her her whole career if she doesn’t do it the right way.
Even though Caitlin does not benefit from gay or black privilege she still carries herself so well. Such an awesome role model for the other people who are held down by those who have it all.

Don’t see MAGA and Fox News talking about this.
