Angel Reese just has alot of growing up to do...she's hella resentful of the attention Clark gets & it's unnecessary. Just ball out, work on your offensive game, and be great in your own right.

This is the foul CC gave, and yet the conversation is about how much Angel "hates" CC :lol:
And this doesn't even get into the reports that literal racist hate was being yelled at Angel at the game, and we know it constantly is done so on her social media.

Glad Ryan Clark said what he said, because its the truth.

It was a nothing foul, just a good play to prevent a layup....Angel pushed the girl before that just as bad or worse and flopped when she was fouled...

And I don't follow the league whatsoever, but even I know the talk isn't about this incident alone, (although Angel did get up all aggressive like she was ready to fight over nothing) it mostly stems from this...

But hopefully the WNBA will wake up and lower the rims one day, then they might start to have something entertainment wise. Already a smaller ball, shorter 3pt arc, just go the extra step and lower the nets to let them actually dunk and play above the rim a bit. Would do wonders for the game and make it actually resemble pro basketball.

Average WNBA player height: 6 feet
Average NBA player height: 6'6"

And that doesn't account for the difference in athleticism.

Record WNBA vertical leap: 34"
Record NBA vertical leap: 48"

I think 9 feet or maybe even 8.5 would be a good spot for the nets. The game is missing so much as is without the potential for satisfying break away jams, alley-oop flushes, putbacks, poster dunks, and huge rejections at the rim. And then they could even add a dunk competition to the all-star weekend. There's been something like 40 dunks TOTAL in WNBA history and they were all completely uncontested rim-grazers. And fans have had to see Griner's hairy armpits for over half of them lol. There's no good reason not to do this, and I won't even consider watching a WNBA game until they do.

I agree. The WNBA is racist and sexist too I might add. End NBA funding for the WNBA.

Failure of a league going 30 years that keeps getting funded translates to one big ass tax break for the NBA!

Ya'll hating on WNBA because Reese hating on Caitlin Clark is funny. Let her hate. Why should she kiss Caitlin's ring and acknowledge Caitlin as her savior. Let the animosity build. Animosity is good for sports. And Caitlin on the other hand is fighting back. That's what should happen.
Let them not follow NBA where its become too nice and friendly between players and teams. We need some of that animosity back.
TBH I don't watch it but I hope it grows and does well. Its good to have a women league for girls who want to play sports to look up to. I'll tune in when Juju enters the league. She is super skilled. She has more of an offensive bag than a lot of NBA players

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/rump-tax-bill-passes-the-house-advances-to-senate.html

Trump tax bill clears the House in a victory for Republicans, advances to the Senate

On Wall Street, however, investors were not as enthusiastic about the tax cut package as Republicans in Washington were.

Major indexes fell Wednesday, as analysts and corporate leaders worried that Trump’s expensive spending bill will lead to exploding federal deficits and weaker long-term fiscal health for the nation. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond yield hit 5.09%.

Democrats, likewise, are vehemently opposed to the bill’s steep cuts to the social safety net in order to pay for some of the tax cuts Trump promised on the campaign trail last year.

An analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that if the bill were to become law, “in general, resources would decrease for households in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution, whereas resources would increase for households in the highest decile.”

Yea abolish the WNBA, majority would rather watch paint dry and Clark is the only reason it gets any sort of attention outside of when they say some dumb **** like they deserve to be paid like NBA players. Getting rid of that league and taking away platforms from people like “Angel” is a good start. Then we need to get rid of women in NBA officiating.

I don't think MAGAts know how much Medicaid pays for.
Granny will feel more comfortable being openly racist, but she won't be able to afford her medical treatments.

Voluntarily loser men will be fine with taxes on universities because that's where the wimmenz are going and getting uppity, but his dick will still remain untouched and dry.

Can’t believe the level of racism Caitlin Clark is subject to in the WNBA in 2025. She’s the only relevant player in their league and they just want to tear her down. END RACISM

There is an entire generation of people now that was taught through the education system absolute BS like racism = prejudice plus power (I know, I was part of that generation). So the brainwashing is deep, and at this point you have roughly 20-40% of the population (of developed western democracies) that sincerely believes you cannot be racist towards white people.

That being said, that's a much deeper conversation, the simpler solution is to just abolish the WNBA, it doesn't serve a purpose besides to sate the egos of certain ideologues, all the league does is hemorrhage money from the NBA. Let them actually make their own league if its something they're that passionate about, and let it stand on its own merit.

Anti-white racism exists...racism by definition isn't race specific, but it's objectively not nearly as prevelant as the inverse & to dismiss the power aspect is willfull obtuseness.

It’s sad people can’t hate eachother simply because they don’t like eachother.

Wouldnt be surprised if he is doing this for album promotion and says he’s not a nazi next week. Then he will troll nazis about taking money from them, then the week after that he will say just kidding I’m a nazi and trolls about taking money from non-nazis.

Dude just wants attention and money. Let him cook. He’s doing far more to destroy the woke right from the inside than anyone from the outside could.
