If you compare how Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods were treated compared to how Caitlin Clark is treated, who are the racists?

[Kelley1]

Caitlin Clark has garnered significant attention, with some WNBA players expressing jealousy and concern over her popularity and skill, while others, like LeBron James and Michael Jordan, offer support and praise. This is in contrast to the generally positive reception of Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, who were celebrated for their achievements and often lauded for their talent and impact.

[spartan55]

It's pretty disgusting. I can't figure out why the WNBA is just looking the other way while Clark gets hacked and bullied nearly every game. They must not like all the money they've been making since Clark arrived. I really hope she goes and plays in Europe at this rate.

[spartan55]

Thanks for the MHO!

Jealous black lesbians can't beat her so they assault her

The different treatment of athletes is a complex issue influenced by various social, cultural, and individual factors. Comparing Caitlin Clark with Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods highlights the unique challenges and dynamics each athlete faces. Gender, race, and media representation play roles in shaping public perception. Recognizing these factors can help us address biases and promote a more inclusive appreciation of all athletes' achievements. The focus should remain on celebrating talent and fostering a supportive environment for all, regardless of race or gender. 🏀⛳🎾

Re: "The focus should remain on celebrating talent and fostering a supportive environment for all, regardless of race or gender. " In a perfect world, that is how it would be.

Caitlin Clark is treated worse not because white people are treated worse than black people but because women are more racist than men. You can even see it in dating. Women are much less likely to date outside their race although interracial dating is happenning much more than ever. Women also tend to be way pettier/jealous when it comes to another women's success.

In the male basketball community, black men are literally in full admiration of white players like Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic.

There will always be haters though. Jeremy Lin barely received an opportunity in 2012 and there really is no other reason aside from the fact that he's Asian considering he was the Cali player of the year in HS and literally dominated in college. Some say it is because he played in the Ivy League but there have been ivy league players in the NBA before and none of them had Jeremy's resume of being top 10 in every major statiscal category. He even had the fastest sprint time tied with the number 1 pick in the draft, John Wall but whenever John took the floor, they said he was super quick. When Jeremy took the floor, he was called deceptively quick. That being said when Jeremy finally received his opportunity to shine, he became a megastar. I think the racism towards him was mostly because they haven't seen an Asian American guard play like that. Also because Asians are seen as timid and weak.

In the case of the WNBA, it seems like the hate is mostly from pure jealousy and the fear of the unknown. The WNBA is changing so much because of Caitlin Clark

Is this coming from anyone besides Angel Reese?🤣 I don’t hear bad talk about her otherwise, really.

If there’s any reasonable resentment, it’s maybe more based upon the WNBA existing for like 25 years, but everyone mocked it until a white superstar emerged. And I don’t know that that’s necessarily accurate, Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi have been stars too.

I think the three-pointers have really caught the world by storm the last ten years since Steph Curry showed up. You used to get yelled at by the coach for always launching threes, now it’s accepted and expected.

Caitlin Clark is basically the WNBA Steph Curry, she’s a three-point specialist. That’s what’s hot in the streets right now. Angel Reese is a totally different type of player, she lives in the paint. I don’t follow it enough to give a full assessment and comparison, but I think Angel Reese is looking for attention, and I’m not sure she’s quite as good at what she does vs how good Clark is at her specific role.

It’s just tough to compare a shooter vs someone who plays down low and is a long-body. It might be fair to say Caitlin Clark has more of a specialized skill whereas a lot of Reese’s game comes down to her size. We live in the Instagram era, so this could be as much about likes and follows as it is about basketball skills, haha.

I think a lot of WNBA players are just kinda like “ok, so NOW you want to pay attention?” But I think a women’s professional sports league is up against it, so just take the attention and hope to gain some new fans, whether you love or hate any particular player

[7Phoenix7]

Exactly...

[FreyaRed]

She just tries to gain attention and using some so "oppressed minorities" is good comparison for her to continue her self promotion that isn't based on merit but on fact women sports with few exception will never gain the popularity of male sport disciplines.
Even racism is an anti establishment behavior nowadays, most people don't care about racism in sports. However women in team sport like football (soccer), volleyball, basketball like often to victimize themselves because they don't get same amount of money by advertisers like men. I can remember some years back an female US soccer """star""" complained she doesn't get advertisement deal like Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo which have dozens of millions of fans around the world.

[BadApple69]

Let’s be 100% honest here. It’s racism against a white girl from other women who think that white women don’t belong in their sport. If she was black there wouldn’t be any issues.


Racism!

[Dongie]

I assume the jealous players doing this are on other teams and not her own. Do they talk smack and take cheap shots? Check out Larry Bird. He's crowned biggest shit talker in all of NBA history. But he didn't take cheap shots at people and they all talk shit. Maybe it's just competitive energy. To be taken as a show of respect.

[Panthero80]

I think there is some racism involved. Some said she gets so much attention because she is white. No, she gets the attention because she is the best in the game. Just like Michael Jordan got all his attention because he was the best, not because he was black.

[Miah06]

There is a weird obsession with caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese.

Like why so many people argue about 2 people who don't even know they exist is weird.

Enjoy the sport instead of bickering over 2 people that play it

[yulbsari]

Women are petty and vicious AF towards other women!

[Iron_Man]

Yeah, it’s not fair. It’s the other women players that are jealous and racist

[AviatorTom]

Brittney Griner's comment after fouling out against Caitlin Clark says it all.

[WhitneySnow]

Caitlin Clark is discriminated against because she’s female, not because she’s white

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nobody was treated like Mike to this very day he's still the measuring stick to which all are measured up to that why we say I'm the Michael Jordan of this shit. Catlin Clark got nowhere near the buzz he got and is still getting at 60

[Godihateyou]

The only people that are racist anymore. Black people.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Woods suffered LOTS of racism as golf's first black superstar, while Jordan was sometimes thought not ghetto enough by some arbiters of blackness.

[Shiprex]

I thought Woods was given a horrible time in the golf world for a long time.

[LiamJHayden]

The racists, as always, are those who judge by color and not character. Dr. King was a wise man.

[SexyPulse]

She does get treated differently than others in the WNBA but i dont know if it is due to racists or not

[WonderingManII]

I don't understand, she always seems to be praised by the media.

[RedInnocent69]

Not sure it’s racist, but definitely sexist from guys and just catty from girls

[Chazmatazz269]

The racists are usually the ones crying “racism”.

[Sofie4]

It’s mostly women to. Bill Burr right it’s they enjoy tarring each other down.

[Jennz6]

She’s wonderful

[Abbycado]

Who is expressing jealousy and concern?

[eagle1951]

Clartk is good period

[BarryLiverstone]

The racists mistreated Jordan and Tiger
