I actually watched a few WNBA games because of Caitlyn Clark. She is getting roasted for trying to suck up to the black players who dominate her league. If you followed her rookie season you saw her repeatedly cheap shotted by black players, with Angel Reese (black) gleefully clapping in approval.
OK, but on the other side, no player in the WNBA makes much money except thru endorsements. The few that do get endorsements are largely white. So she is sending a message in support of all players, but particularly black that the salaries are not fair. This is an issue with the ownership, not so much society and race.
The WNBA has its collective bargaining agreement coming up and salaries probably will go up some but if you don't get endorsements, you still aren't getting rich in the WNBA. It is totally different in the NBA.
I feel like social media is seeking clicks on this one. I just wish she hadn't used the white privilege thing because that is not at all what this is all about. But did she mean it that way or did the "journalist" at Time magazine take some liberties?
At this point I doubt she would call out Time if they did take liberties but she otherwise seems like a normal midwestern woman who is THE BASKETBALL STAR OF THE WNBA. Good luck to her unless she proves a hopeless liberal. JMHO
