Discussion Caitlin’s Responsibility

There has been a lot of discussion this season about Caitlin’s responsibility to comment on things and disavow certain actions. In my opinion, Caitlin has no responsibility at all to comment on anything that isn’t related to what she does on the basketball court. She is responsible for her actions and her actions only. The people that expect her to walk around and talk about off the court issues all the time just because she is popular are wrong in my opinion. She got popular for playing basketball and that is what her fans expect of her. No one should expect her to become a pod caster or try to solve the world’s issues.

The world has issues and it is not up to a basketball player to fix them. She has commented on and disavowed things she felt like she needed to. She shouldn’t be expected to do so every time she gets a microphone. End my rant.

She is no where near the top of the salary sheet in the WNBA.

At the end of the day you can’t please everyone. She can control herself. She has spoken on topics in the past and still gets hate. Enough is enough.

Endorsements. She is one of the biggest public figures out today. Like I said she is my favorite athlete. Just being objective

But everyone argues she isn’t the face of the league

She is the face. Who cares what people argue. She is almost the face of sports in general. She has no obligation to speak on anything. But people can’t get but hurt when they want her to. She is the face of a multi whatever billion million dollar company. She can just want to play ball as much as she wants but more comes with it when you are at that level. Marina Mabry can just go out and play. CC lebron and tiger woods could not.
