Obviously none of us know what's happening behind the scenes.  She could be a surly person for all we know, though I think she's smart and shrewd enough to navigate the locker room.  But, at least in public, she's cool as a cucumber and says the right things in the right way to the girls who hate her guts

Maybe so, but regardless that is the biggest reason she still get hate, right or wrong.

no it isn’t. you have no idea what you’re talking about. again, her “racist asshole fans” didn’t even exist until after cc became the target of a bunch of physical and verbal attacks by black women. the racist assholes you’re referring to didn’t even have the wnba on their radar until after the fact.

Once again Derka, you have perfected the "I didn't read what was said I'm just reacting" take.

I said it's the main reason she's STILL getting hate.  I'm not arguing that the other stuff didn't come first. Or why she was hated on at first.  You're projecting.

But NOW, at this point, there is more hatred directed at her because of "her racist fans" than any other reason.

She already took her bumps in the Pro's. Most of the players are probably cool with her now.

You're making an argument that is flat out not true.

What's not true? The she gets backlashes for her fan base? Because saying that isn't true is baffling.

I am not arguing in any way that her fan base started it...some will. But not me.  

However I think you're totally wrong if you don't think a part of her fan base isn't racist and isn't making it worse at THIS point.  If so ya'll really aint paying attention on social media.

yeah, drew is acting like cc got a little rookie hazing, paid her dues, and now everyone in the league respects her. wrong. they hated her and mistreated her out of sheer pettiness and jealousy, and that hasn’t gone anywhere for most of them. this idea that her peers only dislike her “racist fans” is a total red herring.

Her fan base from what I've seen everywhere on the internet is reactionary to her hate. They are not going out and targeting opponents or "rivals" with racism and hatred. And before you bring up the sloth looking bitch, she has her own haters that range from all demographics. Is there racist people in her fanbase sure but they're not the ones initiating the hate.

Her fanbase was the largest in her sport while she was in college.  It wasn't until she entered the WNBA and became the face of it before her first game that the racism against her started in earnest (although there were building blocks during the final 4 her sr year - that is when the likes of Swoopes, Lobo all tried to downplay her generational talent and showed their catty jealousy, Reece etc).

 

A small amount of incels who have never seen a female up close or play basketball decided to white knight online for her when the racist articles, comments and treatment from the regular WNBA media and players became so public against her.  Think I read over 20% of all flagrant fouls in the league were committed against Clark.

You even had team owners who moved games to large stadiums trying to take away credit from Clark when they averaged 5,000 fans a game.   They left her off of the Olympic team out of pure petiteness etc.

Pretending there is a large group of racist Clarke fans is just the excuses needed to continue the attacks on her skin color, popularity and sexuality.

I don't even think it's a race or sexuality issue. It's a women treating women issue. You'd never see shit like this among professional male athletes in 2025. Call me sexist or misogynist or whatever but it's the truth. It's a bunch of women hating another woman because she's better than them.

Relevant Family Guy.

Trying to figure out how Hannah Hidalgo, whose anti-gay social media post prompted a bunch of her teammates to hit the transfer portal, is going to be the face of women's basketball....

Where the fuck did I say that you idiot?  

Your ENTIRE premise was "she isn't getting hate because of her fanbase" and she actually fucking is.  Plus the other "I don't want a white savior in basketball" folks too.

She absolutely has the respect of the majority of the players NOW(not at the beginning of last season), not all...because NO ONE fucking does.

The reason she get's trashed NOW is that some in the media and her fan base, act like she's the ONLY reason womans basketball can be successful, and the other side take offense to that.

It's not really that hard.

YOU are arguing something I've NEVER said.

You are making bad arguments.....She is the face of basketball and she is the reason people are watching now. The numbers literally tell that story and do not lie.

repeatedly throughout this thread. your entire argument has been that the no.1 reason she’s still hated is because of some mythical racist fanbase. you’ve said that, repeatedly. and that’s not true. you simply have no idea what you’re talking about, but you just won’t stop talking.

What a disgusting headline. 

Meanwhile Caitlin Clark keeps making me like her more.
