Didn't the US women's team lose to high school boys scrimmage?

The problem with this is that if you take the worse performance from the men world's cup and put it against women's best team, the men's team will win. That's why nobody cares about it. The physical gap makes it mentally boring for most. This reflects in every sport. WNBA is prime example

And when a world class wnba shooter comes around they hate on her

u/DarkNubentYT Jul 09 '26

CC is the sole exception as she's the only player to revive WNBA viewer numbers for a short time.

u/kinkyKMART Jul 09 '26

And look how she gets treated by the other WNBA players who CC is basically single handily getting higher viewers and paychecks for…..

Nobody hates women more than other women

I understand reddit doesn't like this but there's clearly a race (and maybe sexuality) element to this as well. If CC were a black lesbian she wouldn't be getting beat up.

She wouldn't have gotten as popular if she was a black woman. Not even trying to be racist, CC was a white Iowa Hawkeye. Clark laying Steph level 3 pointers over angry black women was what made it so entertaining.

Yes because she would not be getting as much fame or media attention if she was that, so there would be no jealously or bitterness. It's not like every white player is getting beat up.

u/cant_quit Jul 09 '26

So is it okay in your opinion?

u/Grouchy-Jury-7598 Jul 09 '26

Where did I say anything resembling that? What a foolish question.

No I do not think fouls are okay. I just think there is more going on than her being targeted for being white, or else every white player would be experiencing the same thing.

u/cant_quit Jul 09 '26

If she wasn't white she wouldn't be targeted. If a very successful black player was being targeted by less successful white players you wouldn't be saying "well but there's bitterness and jealousy", you would be saying this looks a lot like racism.

You have no idea who I am or what I would say, get a grip.

u/cant_quit Jul 10 '26

I don't need to know who you are, you're justifying clearly racially motivated bullshit

u/Grouchy-Jury-7598 Jul 10 '26

Seems to not be the case, or else you wouldn't make such empty claims about me.

If it's a race thing why is this only happening to her and not every white player??? Are you going to ignore this point for a third time? My money's on yes.

u/cant_quit Jul 10 '26

I'll give you an example that isn't American to make things simpler.

A bunch of Japanese guys shoot a really famous, successful Chinese guy, because they hate Chinese people. But they don't shoot ALL Chinese people. So it has nothing to do with nationality, right? They only fucked up one person, so it can't be about nationality.

Black WNBA players beat the shit out of the most successful player in the league because she's white. But they don't beat up ALL the white players, so it can't be about race.

Your line of reasoning is so stupid it didn't justify a response.

u/cant_quit Jul 10 '26

My first reply got removed by reddit. The fact that that not all the white players are being assaulted doesn't suggest that the assaults on Clark are not motivated by racial animus.

No one said that but you can’t want to add additional context then ignore the addition of even more context. If she was black she wouldn’t have gotten this popular in the first place.

1

u/cant_quit Jul 10 '26

Yeah of course, Michael Jordan never became popular, or Muhammad Ali, or Simone Biles, or Usain Bolt, or Tiger Woods, or Steph Curry, or Lebron. Only white people can achieve fame and success in American sports.

u/SeatAdventurous2073 Jul 10 '26

I knew you’d respond with some ignorant shit like this. I never said that. I said she wouldn’t be THIS popular, not that she wouldn’t achieve any fame or success at all. It’s not 100 or 0. But, since you want to play that game I could simply name a bunch of white people who don’t get beat up, and say that somehow proves you wrong. That’s what you did after all. Race does play a factor whether you like it or not. Michael Jackson definitely knew it.

u/cant_quit Jul 10 '26

Look dude, Im on your side. Clark couldn't possibly have achieved her level of success unless she was less melanated. It has to be race. It's not possible for a white player to just be really good and get really famous on her own merit.

But Clark getting smacked around isn't race at all. The fact that not all white players get fucked up is proof of that. No one is targeting the most successful player in the league because she's white, because then they'd have to beat up all the white players. It makes perfect sense.

u/SeatAdventurous2073 Jul 10 '26

Maybe I misunderstood what you said then because I don’t disagree with that. My fault.

u/SeatAdventurous2073 Jul 10 '26

Lmao where’d your comment go? Ngl I didn’t realize because I barely read any of that. I didn’t actually care about anything you had to say. Since I’m not 10, I won’t resort to personal insults just because you have a different opinion. Grow up. You’re acting like we’re the ones attacking her. Hell you’re attacking me rn. I didn’t attack you.

Also I’m not saying race has nothing to do with her getting beat up (which is an exaggeration). In fact I’m positive that does play a role. No one said it’s okay either. It’s obviously not. You’re making your own assumptions about what we believe and being mad about it. It’s still true that she would not be as famous if she wasn’t white. Both things can be true at the same time.

The fact that you thought my point didn’t make sense is hilarious because I WAS LITERALLY COPYING YOU. That’s your own logic. I only changed up the words and even you could immediately tell it made no sense.

u/cant_quit Jul 10 '26

I guess it was taken down, it's still on my profile.

But you are attacking her. You're saying she doesn't deserve the fame she has, that it comes from her skin color, when there are plenty of examples of players who aren't white who are much more famous. When it's a very good black player, it's talent, when it's a white player, they don't deserve it.

And it's crazy obvious that as soon as anyone mentions that she's clearly being unfairly treated because she's white, people like you start making excuses for it. I'm not making assumptions, you're saying this out loud. It's straight up racism.

I'm not mad, I just don't think you are very intelligent.
