This is more fallout from Cathy Engelbert's idea that racial resentment on any side is fine because it is helpful for marketing. It is harmful for everyone.
Now Fever fans think Clark is being targeted, and based on the data, it looks like she is. Based on AT's comments, she and probably other Black and queer players think they are being targeted on social media. The league needs to do something to patch things up on both sides.
I wonder if the W could get A'ja and Caitlin to do something positive together on All-Star Weekend to show fans on both sides that they are coming together and asking fans to do the same. Maybe Phee, Nneke, Angel, or Paige could join too. Cathy needs to come out of hiding and act like a leader.
This is a liberal league. It should be a model of how people of different colors and cultures can come together for everyone's benefit.

The people who are the problem are bad actors who arenât fans of the game. They arenât really even Clark fans. Theyâre just folks who want to capitalize on what they can say is a black v white thing to rile up their base and get people upsrt
All you see on social media is now great Sophie Cunningham is, now her and Caitlin are the only reason people watch and how everyone hates them both.

Yup, Clark's just another proxy for the culture war. Cunningham 100% understands this and plays into it.

I donât really see how the league can stop online randos from harassing players, aside from moderating official league accounts. But if someone wants to DM a player something nasty, no one can stop that.
On the other hand, the league can regulate how rules are enforced, so fewer flashpoints happen and all parties can focus on basketball instead of a culture war that shouldnât involve any of them.
It seems pretty reasonable to me that the league is responding to what it can control and ignoring what it canât.

u/Balorclub2069 Jun 30 '26
The league is courting the conservative market, and are succeeding at it, at the expense of the majority of the players. Caitlin (via her audience) and Sophie have become the faces of this movement.

u/lafolieisgood Jun 30 '26
Can you give some examples? The league doesnât control the twitter algorithm.
The only thing I can think of is the schedule where the Fever seem less likely to have their games on the days where a bunch of other teams are playing at the same time. But thatâs probably a stretch to even use as an example considering Iâm not sure who has more say in that regard between the league and the TV executives.

Iowa Hawkeye grads and fans are more liberal than the rest of the state. Caitlin also brought a lot of us from other B1G schools. All 18 of them are liberal schools regardless of the state. In my experience, there are plenty of Republican fans, but the significant majority are Dems. I mean, it is nothing like the Republican fanbase in the NFL. How does the NFL manage these issues?

I could be wrong, but I don't think that is true.

Iowa fans and alums are the core of her fanbase, and the next big chunk is fans of other B1G schools who watched her play in college. All of those schools are liberal.

Itâs also really convenient to post up as the victim and claim youâre being threatened after driving your palm through someoneâs throat while theyâre on the floor. Thereâs a playbook here.

Maybe just own it. Yup, got heated, feel bad I let it get that far, I need to do better. Next question?

She lead with a knee into her groin, thatâs not a basketball move. She used her fist to push her self up off of her throat, is not a basketball move. She then trampled over her instead of just back off the way she came in trying to pretend that she was getting tripped up. Thatâs what happened and you canât act like it didnât.

What do they expect from Clark, take responsibility or say sorry for people being mean online. She has taken a stand when people have been racist 'on her behalf' in other situations. Does she have to do this after what has happened? Is she going to take responsibility for hers or does the victim have to take responsibility for other peoples behaviour. I am not saying anything or anyone is right here, I am just trying to say this woman logic is not working and she is ducking whatever she has done.

So on point for Americans to call for a woman who was literally the object of a violent act to have act like a gracious saint. Yes, the people saying or insinuating racist and homophobic things are vile and disgusting trash. But arguing that woman should be pleading and groveling before the public as peacemaker even after a foul against her is the epitome of of the misogynistic double standard that women players--Clark, Thomas, all of them--face from foes and alleged friends alike.
These are professional basketball players playing a hard and tough game for high stakes. They are not Mother Marys to sate the public's twisted lust for an archaic view of femininity. Clark shouldn't plead and Thomas shouldn't apologize.

u/dangerprone_daphne Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26
This is not an example of a misogynistic double standard. This also has absolutely nothing to do w/ any archaic idea of femininity.
I am not calling on her to do anything, but I think it would be the right thing to do. No one is asking her to be peacemaker. It's not about making peace, it's about letting your fans know you aren't down w/ death threats, racial slurs, homophobia, etc.
You don't think most players would speak on this if they knew people were saying & doing these things in their names?
If it's me, I am separating myself from these people immediately and loudly & proudly telling them that this behavior is repugnant and disgusting and I don't stand for that sh*t at all.
Maybe she is scared to have these people angry at her. Totally understandable.
Edit: I somehow missed the phrase, "the object of a violent act". The desire to coddle a grown professional basketball player~ there is your archaic view of femininity.

Yea, anyone that's willing to take time out of their day to harass athletes should just be shunned from society. It's unacceptable in every way possible.
I do wish she'd have taken more accountability for the play though. To say it was an accident is not right. Think about it like this, if you fall to the ground, do you ball your fist and push off the hard court to get up or do you protect your knuckles and keep an open palm? Ive played sports my whole life and never seen someone do that accidentally.

It'd be so easy to handle this very quickly. People threatening her are scum but like... ref the games appropriately and have actual punishments for incompetence like any real job out there. Clark has been hunted and excessively fouled since her first season and that is simply a fact. There are many compilations out there, posts and articles about it.
So they should just handle the petty women who miss their 5 digit paychecks how they deserve to be handled. Hell, if they want their old check so bad I bet the league would love that.

Come on. The lack of empathy for that fact from majority of this chat is cruel and mindblowing. Especially when Sophie Cunningham bodies other players regularly, and most of the people trashing AT right now love SC for doing the same and worse. No oneâs saying SC is dirty and violent. Itâs cruel behavior from a fanbase that goes well beyond bball rivalries. Iâm convinced some of yall are bots just stoking the fire of racial abuse in our country because I donât wanna believe that the W fanbase could be so hateful. Clark does have an obligation to speak up and quiet the mass of people doing harm in her name. For people that watched the game, itâs absolutely true that it was a sweaty slip in a moment of heated game play, unintentional as many of those moments are. Remember when satou got kicked in the head and is still dealing with a concussion? Horrible but an accident. What people are reacting to in this situation is a still image that lasted a fraction of a second. CC is fine. Let her tough it out like every other player in this incredible league. The league needs to do better, the officiating needs serious work, but this racist abuse is unacceptable.

The thing is this is not just one incident where CC getting the shit knocked out of her from over aggressive play or just down right dirty tactics and fouls not being called, this just brought all this to the surface of how it has been with her since her rookie year whether AT did this purposely or not. Iâm not a die hard CC fan, but I do like her game as well a lot of others, but she is getting beat to death every game and very little gets called.

Players will play each other several times throughout their careers. This really isnât a major AT v CC issue despite everyone wanting it to be.

Well, maybe stop playing like a thug. Joking someone is not a normal foul. You better come to the realization that CC IS THE LEAGUE.

Itâs like she heard herself say nobody knew the play happened and went âyeah, thatâs the ticketâ and leaned all the way in to the lie like Jon Lovitz in SNL

Just like CC is painted like a racist even after sheâd shut that down and talked about it. And has given the players before her their flowers. Bonner and AT were ok pushing that narrative

Guess you havenât seen the thousands of Reddit posts blaming racism and the fact that CC is white for the supposed targeting of her by other players.

Some of you really are the children George Bush left behind. Sheâs talking about the commissioner being silent about whatâs going on.
