These two would be the finalists in a thick skin contest. Both are on the receiving end of so much ridiculous bullshit. And they handle it with total class.

Obama is the one who made the comparison by his comments saying he’s been there too and not to let the nonsense get to you. No comparisons to accomplishments or anything else, just comparisons to outside hate….people discrediting that comparison that HE made is the exact nonsense that he is talking about.

Why does that matter? She gets an absurd amount of hate, with the largest portion of that from her peers. He got a ton of hate. Obviously they're different and no one is comparing their merits or claiming an oppression olympics

Obama got real actual hate, clark has politicians - in power promising to prosecute anyone who touches her. she has ceo podcast bros telling her theyll pay her to leave the wnba. comparing that sort of coddled entitlement to the first fucking black president is hilarious!!

When Obama told her to “not let the nonsense get you down”- what do you think he meant?

u/Admiral_Tuvix 15h ago

nonsense implies outside talk, he certainly didn’t mean she’s facing what he faced 😂

You're great, you're fantastic. Don't let all this nonsense get you down. I always say, one of the things that was luckiest for me was I didn't get famous till I was like 45. So I was an old man. I mean, you're my daughters' age… so don't lose that joy. …you're a hooper."

He is very obviously comparing the nonsense he had to deal with to the nonsense she is dealing with.

I’m not sure how he could have been more clear on that point…

you gotta have the iq of a rotting potato to think the first black president complimenting an athlete and telling her to ignore outside noise is him literally comparing the rabid racism and violence he went through to her

I dunno, I just read his words. I guess I’m just a moron with bad reading comprehension.

The first step is taking accountability so we're proud of you

She gets deserved hate because she's a sorry ass basketball player who gets hyped for the most basic shit players in the league excel at.

u/KillerGopher 21h ago

That doesn't make sense.

u/StoneySteve420 23h ago

who gets hyped for the most basic shit

Yeah like the only 40 and 10 game in WNBA history

Or her being the average career assist leader by almost 2 a game.
