Why would anyone think CC fans are racist ********? JFC..
Explain to me how this is racist? What exactly in this wording is racist? Unless you are making an assumption of what that person is feeling inside there is nothing in those words. If you would have said vulgar then I agree. I suppose you think all of the crazy twitter posts attacking CC are just an objective expression of feelings? At some point direct criticism of a person who is black is just not always racist at its core. How many times is it going to take for false accusations to resonate with some of you?

If a death threat is made - then report it to the police.

This is so unbelievably dumb that only a special few posters could have posted it.

CC ranks 7th in the WNBA in FTA per game....and only 3 Gs are ahead of her.
Realistically, not one guard should be ahead of her. Post players - yes. But it's not like she does not go to the basket as much or more than most of the guards in the league.

The fear of being labeled as "racist" or "homophobic" is very real. I'll leave off "misogynistic" for obvious reasons - but then again? It's worked for a long time and until people start to stand up to it then it will continue.
No one would call White homophobic. She's a lesbian as well as Thomas.....

Yes. When you factor in the way she is guarded, and the non-calls by these nincompoop officials, she should be the top guard in FTA's.

So White took up for CC after the game and correctly called out the cheap shot from AT that leads to a suspension.




Pretty reasonable. Regardless of what you think of AT as a player or person, I think most people don't think she should be receiving slurs and death threats over this incident. White even stated that she did not believe the people sending these messages were WNBA or Fever fans.




I've seen several people say similar things like this. Firstly, I'd question how much some of you are on social media because if you think slurs and death threats getting sent to professional athletes is out of the realm of possibilities then you are living under a rock. Secondly even if you believe that AT is lying would you rather White publicly doubt her? Because that would open a whole can of worms that would make this data go on longer than it already has.




I believe this comment was in regards to player safety off the court and online. Which again is pretty mundane statement
The fact that others have said that doesn't mean it did or did not happen to Thomas. It COULD be her crutch to cover her butt over all the flack she's getting. Also I'm pretty sure Clark has also been on the receiving end of some of that. Did White also comment then. I'm just asking, because I don't remember that.....

In late May CC and Golden State Valkyries guard Tiffany Hayes got into it on court. After the game, Hayes was on Threads interacting with "fans" that were trashing CC. One "fan" wrote, "Listen. I got some cousins we don’t speak about that will ride at dawn upon request. Just let me know."
Hayes replied, "😂 that’s real."

The league didn't do a damn thing. And, Hayes endorsed the threat to kill or harm Caitlin!

Now the entire WNBA is genuflecting to AT.

If you can't connect the dots, you don't have a brain.

It could be a crutch, sure. But given how much attention this story has gotten in and out of the sports world I'd bet a large sum of money that AT has gotten vile **** sent to her online over the last week.

Clark gets a lot of hate, hell if you told me she got the most **** sent to her online in the W I'd believe it. She, as far as I know, has chosen not to address any online attacks she's received publicly. If she came out tomorrow and addressed them publicly I'd anticipate and expect White to comment on them as well.

White was going to get asked about AT's comments at some point so she lead off her media availability by making a statement that is fairly benign. She made it clear that there's lines that shouldn't be crossed with what gets sent online, no players in the league should have to deal with it, and that these messages are being sent by people who aren't actual fans of the Fever or the Wnba.

When CC speaks to the media next she'll get asked about the incident with AT and the fallout. if I had to bet her message will sound a lot like Steph's.

Not sure I agree with everything but at least you make valid points and are a respectful poster unlike some of this nonsense.

Because race and orientation don't have anything to do with it. He loses all credibility and just sounds like an angry *******... in a world full of angry azzholes.. he feeds the stereotypical image of an Iowa fan.. we don't need to hear it.
