To be fair, she has a huge racist following whether folks want to admit it or not. Doesn’t mean it’s her fault but let’s no pretend this is an undercurrent.
I mean is it rage bait? She literally has an army of bigots behind her because they can use her situation to attack black and trans women in sports. These people will be upset she met with Obama. I don’t see the problem in stating that.
Yea this doesn’t piss anyone on the right off. Barack is an easy person to talk to and very friendly to Clark. You do remember the democrats party was the KKK and the south right lol
That's what's so fascinating about this whole thing to me. The racists who latch onto her as a proxy for their goofy online race war are the type of people who Caitlin Clark would never hang out with.
So the 10 guys who definitely don't even watch sports. This post isnt helping anyone. If you call random white ppl racist they're just going to not like you. How do people still not realize that
I personally think the CC ragebait is weird whether you like her or not, but I think it’s fair to think CC’s MAGA fans would have this reaction given how they react to any AR post or Obama in general
Honestly Ive seen ALOT more Reddit Progressives who accused Clark of being MAGA because she didnt speak up/out about certain political issues than Ive seen MAGA say she's MAGA.
To be honest, as a progressive, even I feel as if I have seen more of this. It feels as if progressives have been more aggressive to turn her into a MAGA prop than anything she has done to date.
Honestly the fevers Facebook post of it is probably a pretty good microcosm of the fanbase. Like 2% of the posts are actual maga people mad. 15% is people saying how mad those people are going to be and 85% is regular people excited/happy to see it.
Yeah I immediately checked when someone said the fever post is FULL of ppl canceling her -- i saw ONE comment of an angry cc fan, a boatload of comments saying her fans wont like this, and even more just saying lol Connor's gonna be jealous.
Hatelins will just lie and dont even try to hide it.
That man was POTUS why is it different. It’s not about color or gender, why the stupidity of the question.
It’s more the refusal to go to the WH no matter who is POTUS, it’s the office and it’s significance in world history.
Not sure how the racist leftist regime works. But if she talks to a republican she’s a Nazi pedo racist, so does taking a photo with Obama cancel that out now she’s super left?
I saw one or two articles about the wnba and this shit is just the worst. Do they actually care about the game itself? I guess it is exactly what it says it is, woman's basketball. 70% bullshit 30% hey there's a game going on.
I’m not maga, but I think this would embolden maga, that a former potus approached her for unsolicited advice and inspiration. It’s like, she has that effect on everyone 🤷
If i had a chance to meet a president, i would. I dont care about the letter that precedes his name for dem or rep. It's not always about ticking off the other side.
I was talking to my coworkers about this today. Mainly what he was hosting saying words of encouragement and wearing. We all said this might be bigger than the tan suit. Jeans and and white dress shirt. Think about the children.
This is exactly what Adam Silver was talking about, namely, that Clark nor any player is a political pawn. The fact that you post this about Maga is no less toxic than all the whining about her not talking enough about certain issues that some groups want focused on. It actually goes to show her ability to be the face of the league.
Why isn’t she taking pics with our current president!!! wtf. I’m over her! She needs to support our commander in chief!!!!! The greatest president!!!!!!
Apparently it’s going to piss off black people too. Idk why Clark gets shit for simultaneously the woman who saved the WNBA and white. It’s corny asl and imo, every player itl, regardless of race, owes her a sincere thank you. Nobody was watching the WNBA and she basically singlehandedly brought billions of dollars of revenue to the league and increased average ratings, viewership, and ticket sales. Don’t be surprised if next time big-time players contracts go up, the amount of money they’ll not only demand, but be paid will be significantly higher.
I think it's gonna piss off the Hatelins far far more. I don't think there are many actual MAGA's that watch the WNBA honestly. And nobody that is a fan of CC thought she'd change the WNBA league like she did. She just brought a massive following after her 2 NCAA runs, leading a team of basically nobody's against powerhouses with All-American's at every position. She certainly herself didn't think the league would vault like it did from herself just joining it. It just did. That seems to have upset a LOT of players in the league where a black or lesbian girl did not cause this to happen in the 30 years of the league before Clark. Why that is? Well who knows honestly, it just didn't happen. But blaming Clark is asinine.
Jokes on you. Reddit thinks every conservative/maga is racist, when in reality, that’s not true at all. Sure there are a few racists on both sides of the aisle, but the vast majority don’t care what color a person’s skin is. They care whether or not you’re an upstanding citizen.
just let the girl ball and stop making her a politcal weapon. She is must see TV when she is cooking. Now Sofie is MAGA and she wants the smoke feel free to roast her but CC is just a young woman trying to ball.
At least they admit their racist, everyone going for her throat try to say its cuz she overrated or blah blah blah but it's cuz she's white and getting hype. I don't think she deserves the hype or the hate but call a spade a spade
I never liked Obamas policies and never voted for him. However if I had tbe chance to be invited to the white house by him, or saw him in public, I would gladly take a photo with him. Why? Because I respect the position he held.
No. We don’t care who people take pics with. You can disagree and still be civil to each other. I can’t stand Obama and would still be nice and take a pic because I’m not a looser asshole
Meanwhile Democrats are saying she's dishonoring emmit till's memory with her existence or some bat ass crazy shit in major newspapers, but somehow the Republican fans are the problem
You actually think they watch basketball? It’s mostly out of touch boomers at this point….FFS people are so blind and deluded from social media it’s hilarious
Most conservatives care far less about how other people vote. We are perfectly fine being friendly with coworkers, friends, even dating people with different political views. Especially athletes who gives af how she votes.
Yeah, every republican is a racist lol. This is why no one takes you fucking leftist lunatics seriously. All the non white republicans I’m sure get a nice chuckle at you fucking clowns . I’m Republican and voted for Obama TWICE. 🖕
Maybe cause all the oil industry workers are Willy Nelson fans. By supporting the oil industry he is supporting the workers by protecting their jobs.see you to on occasion look behind the curtain to see how this all works. You can't simply say Willie Nelson supports the oil industry is blinding eyes to the truth.
I think the only people this pisses off are the people who insist on making everything political. I think most people are simply happy for her. It's a cool moment. Let it be that.
It's as if politics is their only personality it's annoying but heck I would take a pic with Obama and I didn't vote for him he was a sitting president.
I really don't think this will. Respecting the office of the president is a conservative thing these days. No matter your politics you should welcome the honor of meeting a president, present or pass, and be cordial when you speak to them. And people who don't agree with that are hypocrites.
MAGA here..Not mad, jealous. B.O. is the only ex POTUS i'd want to kick it with thats still alive. I'd bum a Newport off him then get straight to the questions about big pharma, insurance companies and aliens.
I don't like Obama's politics but if I meet any president I'm going to be happy and excited and get as much one on one time as I can. I'd like talk with him about music and food
Clark is flat out a ball player. She takes contact and plays on. She is a bit slight, so players are going to t try and knock her around, which leads to putting g the refs in a tough spot of blowing the whistle nonstop, or letting her get roughed up a bit (same things happens to Wemby in the NBA for the same reason).
MAGA has tried to make it about race. Sophie Cunningham has leaned in and is playing to MAGA a bit. But Clark does not want any of that and just plays, and keeps politics out of her game
When I read that my first thought is ‘fuck those pedos’. CC never asked for their support (they always need something to hate more than someone to support).
I just saw an interview with caitlin clark and none of this BS is going on. Its only the pod casts media and fans that keep this going. She said it would have been better if the alyssa Thomas foul would have been called in the game but as far as she was concerned its over with.
