Hopefully, CC can find some consistent high-level play and last night wasn't just a blip. Don't be surprised if the Liberty mug her tonight and she shoots and plays poorly. Over the long term, she needs to just stick to the basics that she did well last night... in-control play, smart shot choice, and good attitude (less whining/embellishment/crash-outs).

Narrow victory against a now 6-21, 2-13 on the road team at home. Records set? Oh yeah. But...

This is a message board. You post and people reply agreement and disagreement with your post. We are discussing Caitlin being a political football. My opinion is you are helping to perpetuate that situation by being tribal and overreacting.

You say Caitlin is a victim, so stop participating in her abuse. Or don't. But I'll continue to give my opinion and you can cry about your language being policed.

Or I could say: "So now I'm not allowed to call people victim or call out hypocritical posts? Stop trying to police what I can and can't say on a message board."

It's a stupid and commonly used argument. But you seem to reflexively use a lot of the nonsense arguments people use nowadays.

She played better defense yesterday than anyone else. They all get beat on the ball.
I didn't elaborate that point, but that's what some of us have been saying all along. When Caitlin wants to, she can be an above average defender.

I'm focused on why she's getting beat off the dribble at the perimeter and like I said, you can tell some of the times she's opening herself up a little too easy, especially in that 1st half.

Hence "business decisions". It's not a bash. It's just pointing out what she does.

One great game against Seattle won't change anything. The controversy exists because people (like you) on both sides of the Caitlin bs get tribal and overreact. You keep the story going and generate clicks.

Going into the season, Caitlin had the best odds of winning 'player of the year'. She hasn't performed at that level yet this season.

I'd love for her to regularly play like she did against Seattle, hopefully she continues to play well.

Try not to turn everything into some race war bs. It's women's basketball.
"One great game"? OK bro..

I still haven’t found anyone who has seen her step in and take a charge. Business decisions. I think you nailed it.

I don't like it any more than you do, but sometimes it's true. The black women in this league clearly despise her for all the attention she's gotten, and race plays a role in it. If you can't recognize that by now, you're being willfully blind.
There are several on here who want to remain in their bubble and have no commentary on the hateful things directed towards Clark on social media, but are quick to call us out for even bringing attention to it..............

I know she took one in college. Can't remember if she got one in her first two years in the league (obviously isn't likely but I've never been able to watch all her games).

Taking a charge these days is pretty much just taking a foul because it’s going to be called a defensive foul. About the only charges that get called is when the defensive player just gets run through and in most cases, they’re not trying to take a charge.

Why did she not yell f words at the ref? Why did congress and Jason Whitlock not get involved? Where is Fox News? Did she give up and run out of the stadium?
You must not keep up with the times, old man. Whitlock turned to the dark side and is now posting anti-Caitlin propaganda on the regular. Happened shortly after the season began.

In that case, they should stop playing any resemblance of defense at all. No point in risking getting run over. Damn refs. (y)

I know you have me blocked, but I'll share all this nonetheless.

The level of extreme cattiness and petty jealousy among women, including current women professional athletes, over CC has been nothing short of astonishing. It's like they're all 14-year-old girls mad about that one girl that all the boys are after. Really embarrassing for them.
Well, they need to get over that BS. There are more opportunities for them now to secure funds and recognition in the commercial world, thanks to "Eyes on the league" by that Clark girl.
