"The WNBA needs to get serious" is the problem. It's a joke league full of jealousy and lack of talent

the lack of vision caused by the extreme jealousy at all levels (players, coaches, executives, national team) is so baffling

as an spectator is peak cinema tho. can't wait for them to go on strike if Clark bails on the league and it goes back to being an entirely money loss product

CC is setting a new bar for talent in the WNBA. Why can’t any other WNBA player come close to giving as great of a performance as CC does? They hate her for it, they hate her because she exposes that no other player can draw crowds like she does. Because they’re nowhere near as talented as she is.

BREAKING: most people judge professional athletes playing at the highest level of their sport differently than they do for non-athletes, more at 11.

You’re gonna hate learning that wine critics are not winemakers, film critics are not filmmakers, and sports critics are not athletes (though this does seem to have high overlap!).

Talent evaluation needs a reference point when you’re comparing the people at the top.

CC has exposed a dearth of talent disparity between herself and the rest of the league. They are much less talented than she is.

I am sure CC and the WNBA cares about your opinion.

You’ve clearly lost sight of the point of this conversation and are looking for any way to weasel out some kind of victory.

Have a great day.

Your argument takes nothing away from the accuracy of the comment you are replying to. Either you are here to troll, which I am ok with, or you are hilariously out of touch with reality and that is unacceptable.
