I'm always shocked by how consistently she has extremely high turnover games.

Do you actually care about the WNBA outside of the culture war aspects you are obsessed with?

Is Caitlin Clark part of the culture war?
The culture war is actually low on the things that have my attention. It is only an outsized portion of what I post due to it being a main topic of interest to the board. Very few seem to want to talk youth club sports, the FAA delaying SpaceX's Starship to late November, the latest developments in AI, etc. I can't say the WNBA is high on my list either, but I do admire standout athletes and I think Caitlin Clark qualifies. I also find it bizarre that she is a singular force driving up the interest level, which raises all boats, and so many competitors seem to loathe her even though the broad rise in interest will put money in their pockets. Trying to take her out plays to me as biting the hand that feeds.

There's some hyper competitiveness at the very least with Clark and Angle Reese. If Clark wasn't in the same draft class then Reese would be the getting all of the attention. According to this list Reese just put up the 10th best rookie campaign in WNBA history, but might not get a single ROY vote because of Clark.
Ranking the 10 best rookie seasons in WNBA history
Caitlin Clark and now-sidelined Angel Reese have had historic rookie seasons. But do they rank among the best all time in the WNBA?
Yeah, you are a moron. She's a great player and players are trying to rough her up. That's completely normal. Are opponents supposed to let her win and not play hard against her just because of her popularity? You're a complete clown show, and you are doing it here too. Surprise.
And you are on a sports forum for a basketball team, dont participate in that discussion at all, and solely focus on culture war politics as a brain rotted republican. If CC was a black player instead of a white one, you wouldnt give two ***** about any of this.
I do think the human aspect of this is interesting. Putting myself in the shoe of an already established WNBA player I can imagine how difficult it would be to have this new person come in and get all of the attention. On the other hand they have to recognize how good she is for the sport in general. My guess is when their pay checks start increasing significantly they won't be as upset.
I'm probably biased as a Fever fan, but it's gone a notch above just competitiveness. It feels pretty clear that there is some jealousy/pettiness going on.
Sure, jealousy, but the idea that they should not play her hard because she makes them more money? It's a ludicrous idea.
I didn't get that from what Al said, so maybe I missed it or maybe you read more in to it than was intended.
How do you not get that from "biting the hand that feeds"?
There is a line between a hard foul and an excessively hard foul that is more likely to cause injury, and that line is where flagrant fouls are called. I took his comment to mean that players should not, in their best interest, commit flagrant fouls on Clark. I suppose he might have meant hard fouls in general, but since he was quoting a statistic about flagrant fouls, that's what I assumed he meant.
I kind of hate discussing an other person's intentions, so I apologize for bringing it up, you very well could be right about him on this.
