Just stop. A slow, undersized woman would get worked every fucking time down the court on defense. Her vertical is probably around 12-15 inches. The two games are so fundamentally different, she would

The Dallas legend had a chance to question Clark, unfortunately got shut down.

Her reaction face is awesome 😆 

 

 

 

How did Conner Weigman have time to interview her?

Why can't we just move past the fact that Sheryl Swoopes is an idiot? She apparently was abusive as a coach and is just not a very good person in general.

The female Jordan living up to her name lol

Without a doubt. She *thinks* she's up there, but her "play" says otherwise. She's just so bad. 

But but but.... The was supposed to be the WNBA version of bird/magic... Only problem is Reese can't make a layup.  She fucking sucks. All these bitches should be sucking Clarks dick but they can't process the fact that a little white girl from Iowa made them as relevant as they've ever been.  Heads exploding everywhere

In the end it feels like there’s a racial component to this.   Sucks but…

Does she mean the fans who are buying tickets to see Caitlin play. What nasty people? Or does she mean the shit talking fans and commentators who are pissed of some white girl might pull the WNBA out of being a fringe, niche sport?

Egos were falcon punched. 
 

It is a hard reality to realize you and your sport were completely invisible/irrelevant for 25 years, and this one player really is the league. 
 

You thought the TV and ESPN coverage was organic and not mandated by the NBA prior to this season.  
 

Now the league has a chance to grow in earnest and earn that PR. Best of all, they are attracting tons of female fans, young and old. This is how you build your league. 

The jealousy will be gone publicly by next season and the league will be better for it. They should thank Clark for putting up a fantastic record breaking season to shut up all haters.

They won't shut up. 

This.  It's laughable that these women are so twisted up in knots over the obvious reason for the surge in popularity of the sport.  All while Clark just smiles and lights them up game after game.

Funny thing is as far as I know she hasn’t said anything publically about them or anyone critical of her

Holding onto anger is like drinking a poison to hurt someone else.

Clark only saying positive things about them makes them even angrier. The "you aren't better than me!" voice in the heads of the small-minded can get very loud and hard to get around. As something of a jerk myself, I often make it a habit to publicly praise and thank someone who I know wants neither praise or gratitude from me.

Clark is destined for all-time greatness. It's been obvious before the year even started. Reese will be a footnote in Clark's career. Swoopes has already been forgotten. They are raging against that (relative) irrelevance.

Chicago Sky attendance increased from 6k to 7k.  I wonder how big of an impact did Clarks two games have on that number?

Used to be a waiter myself.  Nothing embarrasses an irate customer more than when you're nice to them.
