where any objective criticism of her
The problem was there wasn't any objective criticism of her because how can you criticize someone who set the highest number of points record in the NCAA for both men and women?
There were a number of people that came straight out and criticized her for being both white and straight. They didn't even attempt to conceal that this was the problem that they had with her.
I can't find any "objective criticism" of her abilities, because she is a phenom. Instead I find petty jealousy and a hatred of anyone that isn't part of the "gang" of well-established group that are already the bedrock of the failing-for-20-years WNBA being thrown at Caitlin for being better, more popular, and much higher paid than the veterans.
The fact that she is white and not gay, simply makes them more upset, and it is quite obvious that this is their primary problem with her . She has a chance to completely change the future of the WNBA and is already doing so, and the people who will benefit the most from this are actively trying to bring her down any chance that they get.
Make no mistake, If Caitlin suffered a career ending injury in her first season, virtually every one of these new fans who never paid attention to the WNBA, would leave the league along with her.
I hear you. And you make some salient points. I truly appreciate your response. TY. It was well reasoned, responsible, and necessary to the discussion. However, you can critique her game. They did it with the Pistol when he entered the NBA. Let me say this, I openly root for Clark. I wanted her to win the title in 2023. Do i think she will succeed in the WNBA? No question. Is she the greatest of all time? Hardly. She's not even the best White female player that I have seen. But none of them have attracted the fanfare nor captured the public attention / imagination like she has. And so far, she has justified the attention.
Are there some (many) who are jealous? Of course, without question. Are there some who it is simply a matter of professional pride (IOW, CC has to show and prove before she earns there respect? Of course. As far as the gay element. It is a well known and established fact that straight girls get bullied in this league. I also happen to know someone who played in the WNBA. She is straight. She got bullied. She left the league prematurely. The WNBA, just like the NBA is more about pushing Marxist, globalist agendas. The game itself has become secondary to the narratives.
Let's not forget the whole Brittany Griner debacle. The one where she was arrested in Russia for drugs. We then had a POTUS who wrote crime bills for such actions, be the one who released her. Do you see the mockery? Then he released her for a terrorist called the Merchant of Death while leaving a Marine captive. They were mocking both Blacks and Whites. But that is a separate topic all its own.
There is a Hegelian dynamic at play. Please look at my previous post regarding Understanding PSYOPS. The notion that "Blacks cannot be racist" is patently false. I am Black for the record. I don't doubt that some of the pushback on CC is because she is White. However, the pushback that I have heard, I cannot catagorize it as such. I will do a better job of listening and researching. But again, I have no doubt that a portion of that is fact.
Most of the pushback I have heard came from White players (all whom were gay btw). But let me end this by saying that we are being played on both sides. There is a much bigger agenda at work.
