Titus 3:10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Race baiters are divisive people. MSNBC is divisive. People who tried to push the Jussie Smollett story are divisive. CNN pushing the Covington Catholic High School story are divisive people. Al Sharpton, Alton Maddox and Vernon Mason were all found guilty of this in the Tawana Brawley case.

The portrayal of the shooting of Jacob Blake by police as being racially motivated was an example of being divisive. Many in the NBA were involved in provoking that riot.

And now we see the same kind of race baiting with the complaints about fans of Caitlin Clark who was in the WNBA but now has left for Europe.

You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

She was treated so poorly by the powers-that-be in her league. I don't even follow sports but often saw articles about the fouls she was receiving along with the ugliness from players jealous of her abilities. Her departure will likely cost the woman's basketball league mega millions that they won't collect from fans who don't come to or watch their games, just as it was prior to the Caitlin phenom that lifted the league into relevance.

I don't keep up much with basketball, but could someone explain to me why Caitlin Clark is known in basketball? Or why is she famous?
Is she good at it?
I only know the one and only Michael Jordan and i've seen his documentary too on Netflix.

Caitlin Clark is very good at basketball. Many compare her to Larry Bird, but Larry was not a ball handler, I would compare her to Pistol Pete Maravich.

She was the obvious rookie of the year and what added to her appeal was that everyone in the WNBA was against her. It was so obvious. They fouled her and the refs didn't call it. She was the main attraction and they cried that this was because of racism. She had a contract with Nike but Nike didn't do any ads featuring her and didn't even post a congratulation to her when she won the Rookie of the year. We now know that some star in the WNBA coerced a reporter in the media to not vote for her as Rookie of the year so that she wouldn't be a unanimous winner.

When her team was knocked out of the playoffs the viewers to the WNBA playoffs were cut in half.

I never watched the WNBA (don't watch the NBA either) but I saw clips of her and she has the same mindset as Larry Bird. She is a warrior.

Caitlin Clark Bends the Knee to Woke Culture: TIME’s ‘Athlete of the Year’ Says She Benefits from ‘White Privilege’ and Says WNBA Was ‘Built’ on Black Women Players

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/caitlin-clark-bends-knee-woke-culture-times-athlete/
The WNBA was built on black women players. As for her claim about benefiting from "white privilege" I don't know enough about her. Still you can imagine that some of her advertising appeal might be because some see her as a "great white hope". She certainly is making big bucks from advertising, and who knows, behind closed doors they may have told her that being white adds to her appeal.

She is like the photographic negative of Tiger Woods who definitely benefited from "black privilege".

I only read the title, but this might not be "bending the knee" and instead simply speaking the truth.

She's famous for being a good female basketball player. Some have tried saying she is skilled enough to play for the NBA, but in reality, she wouldn't even be good enough for the NBA G league. No disrespect to her or to women though. Biologically, men and women are built differently.

I'm not sure Larry Bird would be a good comparison in terms of a male NBA player other than they are both White. I would say she is mix of Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic. The stature of Curry but with the play-making skills of Luka Doncic. She isn't extraordinarily athletic and fast (like Luka), but she still manages to get to her spot when she wants. She is also a decent rebounder for her size (similar to Curry). She is a competent defender who can show flashes of being "good" on that side of the court but is no defensive stopper by any stretch of the imagination (much like Curry/Luka). Like Luka/Curry, Caitlin can shoot from just about anywhere on the court. She clearly excels more on the offensive side of the court while making her teammates better players.

"Defensive stopper"? From what I have seen in the WNBA they are so bad that as long as you can rebound that is probably all the defensive stopping you need to do.

I agree. My point is saying she is weak on defense is not a liability in the WNBA.

If she hangs on there should be a multimillion-dollar endorsement in her future. :sneaky:

Athletes don't get endorsement deals if they're not skilled at what they do

She loves the sport and the opportunities it provides to be a great role model!
I wish every dad had a daughter like her and all sports had athletes with such integrity.
