WNBA Accused Of Racism For Showing Caitlin Clark Instead Of Angel Reese
Who had one on their Bingo cards? Anyone? Of course y'all did! It's 2024. You ALWAYS take the under when it comes to race-baiting. It took exactly one day for WNBA fans to play the race card.
For those who missed it, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese both made their WNBA debuts last night. Oh? You didn't spend your Friday nights watching WNBA preseason games? Well, shame on you!
Plenty of folks did. Clark's Indiana Fever debut in Dallas was pretty damn packed – if not completely sold out – and those who didn't/couldn't attend watched the game on WNBA League Pass.
Now, for those who wanted to watch Reese make her debut with the Chicago Sky, it wasn't quite as easy. And by that, I mean they had to watch through a Twitter live stream, courtesy of someone's cell phone camera in the bleachers.
Objectively, that's funny. Sorry, but it is. Could you imagine sitting around a tiny screen and watching a WNBA game being live-streamed on a cell phone?
Apparently, not everyone thought it was funny. Predictably, plenty of woke progressives thought it was racist!
When in doubt, play the race card. A sure-fire way to grab attention in 2024.
WNBA made a business decision with Caitlin Clark, duh
Guys, come on. Do you really think the WNBA is out to get Angel Reese? I mean, come on. Can we just act normal for two seconds?
Of course they're not! In what world would that be a smart business decision? This is pretty much the last best chance the WNBA has to become relevant.
This infusion of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese – and others – is a gift from the heavens that the WNBA desperately needed. It's like finding a winning lotto ticket floating in the water while you're living under a bridge.
Why in the hell would they jeopardize that one Day 1, Game 1, of the 2024 season? Come on.
Now, do I know exactly why the Indiana Fever game was shown and NOT the Chicago Sky game? Some on social media have said it's a Bally Sports issue, which wouldn't surprise me because Bally is generally awful.
I've seen this tweet making the rounds, but really haven't seen it verified anywhere, so you'll have to take it with a grain of salt:
No clue if that was the case, but it doesn't really matter. That's not the point here. I don't want to get into the intricacies of what can and can't be streamed, how it works, who owns what – I don't care. That's a WNBA problem to deal with. It's a separate story entirely.
But calling the WNBA racist for promoting the BIGGEST NAME IN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL is silly. Here's the truth: if Caitlin Clark were black, this wouldn't be an issue. But because she's white, there's always a conspiracy theory. Always.
Again, when in doubt, play the race card. Seems silly to play it against the WNBA, which is one of the wokest leagues in all the land, but hey, sometimes you have to launch a Hail Mary. The wokes always turn on their own. Don't forget it.
There was no conspiracy. There is no conspiracy. The WNBA made a business decision to promote Caitlin Clark last night, and it would've been insane not to.
There's a reason tickets for Clark's opener in Dallas were going for over $100 last night. There's a reason the arena looked like this:
Always, always, always, always follow the money. A good lesson for life, frankly.
Money is green, and that's the only color that mattered here.
