I think she's absolutely being targeted because she's a middle American white woman that has the capacity to dominate a league where predominantly black women have dominated. She's also receiving a shit ton of attention and endorsement money because she's a middle American white woman that has the capacity to dominate a league where predominantly black women have dominated. Race has 100% played a factor in both the good and bad. That said, there should be significant fines for behavior like what happened in last night's game. So in other words, she is what a lot of people called Larry Bird when he entered the NBA. That being "The Great White Hope."I was just gonna say this

Given the shit she's talked on Clark, that is an easy Flagrant 2. Not even a play on the ball. That's how a player gets concussed. Should have sent her to the lockers, she bitched about getting one vs the Liberty, this is well deserved. Fucking pure trash.

Definitely unnecessary, but nothing that I haven’t seen before. Clark said same.

Looking at Angels (distant) eyes you can tell she wasn’t aiming for Clark’s head. Her eyes are up looking at the ball the whole time. I don’t think she meant to do it.

The "Some players just get a special whistle" line makes me think Clark gets preferential treatment on the floor according to Reese and that it was a good foul that Reese did..seems like she only takes ownership of any positive accolades and anything she does wrong, it's a victim mentality.

If Reese owned up to the mistake post game and said something along the likes of "It was a reckless foul and I cost my team momentum in a tight game, I need to do better and I will be better", she'd get loads of props from all excluding the obvious people. She chose to point the finger and not own up to it though. Even Draymond Green after all of his nonsense owned up to some of the antics he's done. Same with Patrick Beverley. At some point, you need to look in the mirror and say why overshadow all the good that I do with this stuff? Reese has been a double double machine and has had a good rookie year but people will just know her as the agitator and rightfully so. She's earned that rep thus far.

The treatment of Angel Reese on X when she says something nice about Cameron Brink shows a bit of the toxic Caitlin Clark worship we had here in IA last year.
Caitlin isn’t like that at all so I don’t blame her. There’s just a gross midwestern (read: MAGA) fanbase that loves to hate this young black woman because she dared show up Caitlin one time in a national title game.

The way Reese was playing vs Indiana, it just is even more frustrating that she lets all the stuff she says away from the game and some of the lame shit she does on the floor overshadow the double doubles she racks up. I get needing an edge but it completely overtakes all the rebounding & toughness she provides.

All of these white knight internet fans with Clark, jesus...
Honestly I find it to be more insulting to clutch pearls and act like she can't fight her own battles or rise above all of this. She can and very likely will.
Rooting for her and the Fever now. They're already the closest team to me. Honestly don't care if that makes me a bandwagon fan.
I haven't checked the ratings but they've got middle aged males watching the games for more than just how someone looks, but to be athletically entertained. That's a big fucking W, no matter how you may feel about her.

You feel betrayed KING KID that after all of this, Caitlin Clark stabs us in the back and gets the 1st ever WNBA triple double for a rookie against our championship aspiring NY Liberty?

KING KID , New York Liberty potential favs to win the WNBA Title(1st ever in franchise history) and your future ROY, Caitlin Clark post Olympic break is now rocking & now talking her shit after the league tried to intimidate her. Had a veteran and top pick years ago in Skylar Diggins-Smith get in front of her and push her. Not going to work, Caitlin Clark is LOCKED IN. The W has been so good this year, 1st year I have box score watching. So much drama, so much soap opera shit. This has been tremendous. Even Angel Reese locking in a monster double-double game yesterday, going to make it all the more sweet when she finishes runner up and to get the candid reaction to it. She got the Judge rub and now is feeling herself with the smack talk.

Clark/Angel have saved the WNBA. The things both of them are doing as rookies is excellent for the sport. Clark is obviously the GOAT, but I won’t tolerate Angel hate as a defense to why Clark is great. I love them both. Shit me following them also made me realize how unstoppable Aja Wilson is. I think they win it all, not the Liberty.
The best part about the WNBA this season has been Clark sweeping Taurasis Mercury.

Caitlin Clark beats Angel Reese 3-1 in the season series and drops a career high 31 points with 12 assists to do it. That should solidify her as the rookie of the year unless the WNBA wants to be racist.

17% of flagrant fouls in the WNBA are AGAINST Caitlin Clark.
80% of that 17% are by the Chicago Sky.

Not yet, that’s still A’ja Wilson. But she’s been rookie of the year the whole season, the takes out there saying she isn’t sound silly but have really faded since the Olympic break.

Another fun fact.
Caitlin Clark has the 2nd most games with 25+ points and 10+ assists in WNBA history.
Not 2nd most for a rookie. 2nd most of all time…. AS A ROOKIE!
