The WNBA recently opened it's season with Caitlin Clark's team facing Angel Reese's team. During the game Clark fouled Reese. Reese pops up chirping at Clark, Clark walks away.
During the after game press conference both dismissed it as a basketball play. But Reese claims a section of the crowd hurled racial slurs at her. There is no evidence that anything was said. The WNBA immediately launched an investigation, whatever that means.
In the meantime poor Angel Reese, who had to deal with racial slurs, liked a TikTok that referred to Caitlin Clark as "that wyte gurl." But no investigation of Reese for racism.
The articles covering this are peak modern journalism. None of the 5 Ws is answered or even asked. But it does tell you racism is wrong multiple times.
Edit - I changed the wording from this article to the articles covering.
Angel Reese is getting clowned on social media right now. This is clearly her trying to save her reputation the only way she knows how.
When you get the record for rebounds in the league by rebounding your own shot 7 times for every lay up you're gonna get clowned.
Simple as.
BANG!
I understand this reference, and heartily approve of it.
Nappy-headed hoes
Can you believe those three words destroyed Don Imus?
You ever see when Imus’s producer debated Sharpton and asked him why he never said a peep about the numerous rappers saying the same thing? It was on an O’Reilly Show episode. My dad said the same thing when it happened that rappers say the same things all the time
Thinking back on it, that was in 2007, before most millennials were old enough to exercise cultural/political influence. Wokeness truly originates with the boomer.
Boomers were subjected to the most virulent strain of the colorblind, we're all people virus
How many times have we seen the same iteration of “muh racism” that never actually happened at any sporting event?
Oh there's even more on this story. RGIII, a sports commentator and former NFL QB, made a tweet that stated Angel Resses hates Caitlin Clark. He didn't bring up race or make any racial implications. He said one human hates another human.
Ryan Clark, another ESPN commentator, accused RGIII of furthering stereotypes about black women and that he doesn't understand the plight of black women because he married two white women.
RGIII said Clark crossed a line bringing up his family. And Clark responded by calling him a shitty teammate and a clown.
Real question: if they find no proof of any fans saying anything racist, will the team report the absence of evidence? Or will they dissemble? Or even lie?
Who knows. Maybe they'll add more words to the naughty list that sound like slurs. A few years ago a Colorado baseball player supposedly heard nigger being shouted, but it was a dude trying to get the attention of the mascot Dinger. Some people wanted to change the name to avoid any future misinterpretations
Wait, Clark came back? Man, she really must have suffered brain damage last season
She's a big ole liberal that wants to celebrate the black dykes who "built" the WNBA
N
IGGERS
It seems really improbable, because what racist would buy WNBA tickets in the first place? If anyone called her a “nigger” or whatever she’s alleging, it’s way more likely to have been black fans than white.
Those are the racists whiteys being encouraged by the whyte Caitlin Clark
It's the only "interesting" thing in women's basketball, so it needs to be spotlighted but also spoken about with ambiguity to maintain controversy or drama.
Further context around the storied foul is here.
Stating the truth of things makes for boring, short-lived news and doesn't further advertise the "sport" that your sprots urnalism job relies on.
What article? Is there a link?
No I didn't link an article. I should have said any article discussing this is peak modern journalism
Hopefully people did hurl "racial abuse" at her, but I'm skeptical the WNBA audience (which is about a dozen lesbians) would do that.
Sounds like the typical “everything is racist” black person. WNBA still is subsidized but Clark is their cash cow. I can remember that Michael Jordan was well liked and he didn’t constantly rant about this nonsense
Yeah she's a lying cunt
Here is what really happened:
Angel Reese blatantly shoved another player in the back to get an offensive rebound. The ref, which was standing right there, did not call the foul. Catlin Clark saw the whole thing, looked at the ref, pointed at Angel Reese, and then fouled Angel hard to keep her from scoring on an "easy layup" (no such thing with Angel Reese involved.)
Angel Reese was hot, popped right back up and started chirping, and going after Catlin. Catlin walks away.
Angel, being a standard black woman in America, immediately pulled the race card, claiming parts of the crowd were hurling racial comments at her as she was shooting her two free throws (she missed one, BTW).
The WNBA, terrified of bad press, immediately opened an "investigation," which will go for a couple of months and quietly report that no such thing happened, because no such thing did happen.
Female black athletes have a known history of claiming racist comments from attendees at events. A while back a black female volleyball player tried this, and the investigation showed it was a figment of her imagination.
I assume ghetto black women are lying all the time. Because they have been, far and away, the most reliably dishonest demographic of people I’ve encountered in my lifetime of work.
To accept this story, you have to believe that the kind of people who pay for WNBA tickets would also start hurling N bombs. It's one of those completely insane premises that you can only accept if you're a leftist and used to "and everybody clapped"-stories.
Pretty easily disproven since it was a WNBA game so there was no crowd.
They might have missed it over the sound of that mouse pissing on cotton
Fake and gay, but so is shitty sportsball.
The more people support this shit the longer it drags out.
People don't support the league. It's been a rock for 25 years
They support sportsball in general, which is also retarded.
God forbid people enjoy something, they need to be mad about politics 24/7.
Let me sum up the hypocrisy for you:
Same people
I've never questioned why people watch them. I've in fact argued quite a few times that everyone has their own personal "I know its bad/slop but I enjoyed it" and that everyone who pretends they don't consume anything of the like is lying for virtue signal.
Sports add even less value than most modern slop. Yay fake points in fake games that have no impact on anything
Like most women athletes, I've never heard of her. All I know is she had a McDonald's burger they advertised a couple months ago.
no video no chant
You shouldn't be chanting at these people because it feeds them attention.
You shouldn't engage in a spectacle with someone who hates you and wants you dead.
You simply shouldn't be at the game at all. Continue to ignore.
There's like 5 people at a WNBA game. They would know if someone was yelling something.
I don't watch basketball but if it helps the situation I am willing to hurl racial slurs at angel reese.
Every time you see a black person start saying "they was saying racial slurs" they're lying. This is especially true if you have direct documentary evidence of it actually happening.
I have a hard time believing that, in a time where everyone is carrying a camcorder in their pocket, no one managed to get any video evidence of said racist chanting.
My opinion is the same as anything that happens in the WNBA, who gives a fuck
Fuck Reese. Reese is a talentless cunt that pads her stats.
