You didn't say "People hating on her for being straight and white.", or did I misunderstand and you were being sarcastic?
She didn’t. Does anyone think she would have the hype and endorsements if she wasn’t? They would be shooting Hy-Chi containers or Wilson basketballs, although Daddy Fran might do that anyway
Did she say Clark is attractive? lol
Tavern Hoks think the WNBA should be just like college, where CC got to do whatever she wanted.
If you look at social media, they all whine and complain that she is not allowed be herself. They want her running down the floor and chucking up logo 3s.
They seem to forget the other 11 players on the team are all getting paid too, and they expect to get the ball in their hands too. The player defending her is a helluva lot better than 99% of the people who guarded her in college. She is going up against players often 3+ years older than her, and much bigger/stronger than her.

That would require actually giving credit to someone besides her. There’s a whole lot of the WNBA sucks narrative here too that gives no credit to the other players or their abilities too.
Surprise surprise....Murph and Andy talking CC. Talking about the fatigue of talking about her lmao. Also lamenting local media having to defend her all the time. Can't make this up.
One of these days Murph and or Andy are going to get served with papers live on the air.
At this point it really could go either way.
Man if you can't trust a man named bubblebathgirl with a twitter account that has an American Flag Emoji in it who can you trust?
You think? If CC was black, there is no way she would be celebrated the way she was. Screaming f-bombs, fake injuries, fake fouls, and all the other nonsense (how the Lsu player is perceived) would have led to something way different then how she was presented. So yes, the players do "have it out" her.
And they wouldn't be doing ads for Skims, and they wouldn't be flying charter, and they wouldn't have nearly as many games on ESPN, and they wouldn't be playing in full NBA arenas...
That's interesting. I said nothing about that stuff. Good job bringing up something unrelated to my post.
Again, if she was black, she would not be celebrated the way she has been, especially by the tavern hawks.
My favorite is when she gets the ball stolen, instead of hustling back, she throws her hands in the air, bitc**es at the ref and crys like a 2 year old, and just lets the gal go score a layup.
Your post said "yes, the players do 'have it out' for her."
I don't disagree to an extent. But at the same time, if it weren't for her popularity, those same players wouldn't be getting anywhere near the exposure they and the WNBA is getting. Just the truth.
Sidebar, I read chartering flights is going to cost the WNBA $25M. The total amount of all WNBA salaries in the league is a little less than $18M.
Rather than celebrating charter flights, why wouldn’t they put that toward salaries. If they split that evenly that would double most players salaries.
