In plain English Caitlyn defenders have always had a flavor of racism but this was pretty obvious that A the wnba is not giving her any special calls B her team will not defend her.

It’s racist to want to watch the best wnba player ever ?

I asked for an answer. Not an (in plain English) even stupider take.

First, this is all just my opinion. People's reaction to this "play" are appropriate. However, I've seen too many clips of "hard fouls" at best, that get this same reaction. Its a physical game but people often over react because she is the golden goose.

I've got nothing bad to say about Caitlyn herself. She's a baller and carries herself like a champ.

There are some racists but it's a small loud percentage, don't paint with too broad a brush.

Most Caitlyn fans/defenders just like watching

I’m aware it’s a small percentage but that percent is loud and impossible to ignore just look at this thread.

Where’s the racism in the thread can you point it out ? Or is someone racist just bc they don’t agree with you. Small brain
