***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

Not going to happen. You realize that from the top down they were ALL together before in Indiana. White was handpicked when they brought in the front office, because she's their girl.

she makes Sides look like Bobby Knight as a coach. Or maybe alford.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

she will be -and is -a way bigger star than CC. This book will be a best seller and we are talking movies and so on.

Not this nonsense again. No one would know who Sophie was outside the league if it wasn't for Clark. I'd also bet that any book Clark authors will outsell Sophies 5 to 1..

That's not the point. She was their first and only choice when they purged the entire front office and brought in the entire group that was here when Indiana won their last title, and White was the coach.

agreed 100%. sophie got there- as did most of the WNBA- because of Clark. 100% agreed. but now sophie is on the rise, CC looks to be on the decline as far as "starpower" outside of Bball. I am talking off the court star. not bball ability. CC is better at bball than sophie, yes.

and I am talking long term with movies and such. ten years from now nobody will care about clark unfortunaely. but sophie, the sky is the limit. as far as movies and TV and so on. I could see clark maybe coaching or something. book sales be danged. I am talking movies.

I did not know they ever won a title before and I knew not White prior to this and last year. I don't watch bball period, not guys nor girls. and I just came for the three pointers by CC. Now I am here for the drama. apparently the owners of this crappy mess in the front office are part of the "club" or "religion" with steph white?? not shocking. CC and sophie are not in the club. I am saying Beth needs to replace slamdunk humberdink at the WNBA. beth is in the "club".

go outside of the state of iowa sometime and ask the average person on the street if they know CC and then ask if they know sophie. add them up. then in ten years from now, pose the same question.

This is exactly correct, starting with the old woman who sat courtside with Krauskopf and Cox while Clark was getting accosted. She had that "distant" look on her face like she was holding knitting needles, looking at Clark like, "Well, hello dear."

 

[Tom Paris]

My next post was going to be Caitlin had a 26 and 11 game and no one is talking about it. It's true but there's just so much bullcrap like this:



So no call on Cloud for the bump on Caitlin, a tech called on Caitlin for accidental bump on ref resulting from the Cloud bump, and then another Cloud bump, this time the intentional bump on the same ref and a no call.

This league is one bumpy ride.

A cynic might observe but being Black sure can help smooth that ride.

That’s pretty terrible.

they look bored at their own mess. they look down upon the peasants with their long hair and purple shoes and colorful nails.

I live in the Chicago area dude, and no, I don't need your little test to see who has higher name recognition. Step outside your little right wing bubble and you'd realize that CC is the most famous female athlete on the planet. Sophie Cunningham will likely disappear in a couple of years and no one will know she even existed.

 

[Hawkit]

I meant it's more likely the Fever make this Sophie's last season in Indiana rather than Steph's.

She had a terrible 3 game stretch. If this slump continues I wouldn't be surprised if the Fever front office decide she's not worth the headaches she causes.

What headaches does she cause? She’s a draw. She is fun. Did she state an opinion? That’s quite the double standard.

no offense, but you really are just a hater

a hater of what? CC? I dunno I like to watch her play basketball. I tune in bacause of her. and sophie. and drama. I don't hate it.

a hater of an exclusive club or religion that excludes CC and sophie? yes, I hate that part of it.

What part of "My City" are you residing in?

 

[Jonesy5960]

NW suburbs.

Try moving to the city. You're out in the country. I grew up on the SE side. Cal Park Beach area. 99th and Ewing, not far from US Steel.

First of all Chicago and Minneapolis are Iowa City north. or hawkeye north. secondly, nowhere has Sophie ever sated she was maga or right wing. she is "middle of the road"- her own words. thirdly I live in Austin area which is a left wing bubble. inside a red state of texas.

CC's fans are nowhere near "right wing or maga". I will acknowledge Sophie has found a fanbase on the right. but CC's fans are mostly liberal. The right and left thing is distorted wildly by distractions her and I think it is by design so we quit talking sports and start talking politics. as if they really needed another distraction. we got it here, though.

also I never said anything about "the most famous athlete on the planet"... I was talking about movies and starpower. those are different. they can be the same if you are OJ simpson I guess. ha ha

I know a guy who grew up in Chicago and used to tell me about that famous cemetery with the creepy girl who comes out and looks ghostly white and she asks you for a ride. that haunted hitch hiker chick.

So many like to use the terms right wing or Maga when they don't follow the pack. Sophie said absolutely nothing wrong and any and all distortions of that one question answered are the real problem.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

well, keep in mnid I'm a football guy. I'm thinking of the time the hawk fans stole the goal posts from the gophers. or AJ Epinesa and such from chicago area and chuck long. plus I watched the last game in Chicago and CC got many cheers from the crowd. I bet there were hawk fans like crazy who went there to the game.

Like this person? She's still active, lol.

yes but she looks differnet now , don't we all? ten yrs later

I'm really trying not to argue with you, because I think your trying to be a fan {I guess), but your post is so full of holes and ridiculous. Clark is the most recognizable female athlete, (and may be top 5 NON athlete female) in the world. Clark is not on any "decline". You could go most places in the world and people know who she is and many wear her gear. That will only increase by multiples going forward. Her clothing line from Nike is just now rolling out, and her shoe doesn't even go into full distribution for another 6 weeks. She's the biggest female brand on the planet, and one of the bigger brands regardless of gender. For some crazy reason you think because your just a Hawk fan that people dont know her outside of Iowa. Do you know how many fans, and journalists from around the world were pissed that she wasn't in the last Olympics? Those road teams in the W, aren't moving to bigger arenas because of Sophie, and not Angel either. Its Clark who n ot only move the needle, she is the needle. Sophie may have a hard time even staying in the league if the Fever don't resign her, because her statements, (no matter how right the content might be) are burning ALOT of bridges with other teams in this mess of a league. She's a good player, but not good enough for some of these teams front offices to overloook that. Any book she writes might do fairly well amongst a certain segment. When Clark rights a book it will be a best seller read around the world, I'd bet.

Draw is a stretch.

"Joking" about ignoring the play earlier this year and going rogue.

It may be a double standard but her opinion created a circus that's followed the team during their recent road trip and forced her teammates to answer for her statements. If you don't think that's a headache then you must not follow sports.

 

[Franisdaman]

DiJonai Carrington is the daughter Darren Carrington who played Safety for 8 years in the NFL. She went to a private school in San Diego growing up with more opportunities than most Americans could ever dream of. She went to college at Stanford which is where she likely picked up on her crazy notions of White privilege despite being economically privileged herself.

Kind of like your other posts. The fact that you didn't know doesn't make you come across as knowledgeable. White was an assistant coach under Dunn when they won the title in 2012 with Catchings being the MVP. She took over as HC for two years in 2014-15.

Wow. I hope people realize that Clark NEVER said any of that.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

See? You finally agree with me on something and aren't just passive-aggressively disagreeing with me to avoid any real confrontation because you know you're winless in a social/political argument with me because I don't operate like the typical right or left people you rub elbows with/get incensed by every day............

I appreciate this subdued version of you.

Now if we could just get Legend on board and get him to tone down his need to be the new eyesofhawk correcting everyone in this thread that subjectively (yes, subjectively) defends Caitlin Clark.

There are times I don't really care for his schtick and times I absolutely love his stuff. He was right on point with that one......

I have a house in the country. This ain't that. My daughter lives in Lakeview. I spend an inordinate amount of time in the city, and were it not for the wife I'd have a condo overlooking my sailboat in Belmont Harbor.
