The Day Caitlin Clark Showed Her WNBA Bully Who’s Boss

[@HoopReports]

Did Diana Taurasi get humbled?

[@alexrobles4414]

Yes

[@kanyeanddixon]

very wekk

[@AmethystTheOfficial]

Yo of course

[@yakhooves]

Yep. And worse, she embarrassed herself. I'm being real when I say I only know who Taurasi is because of Clark. However, I'm assured she is the "GOAT" of the WNBA. And like it or not, if you are recognized as one of the greats or one of the legends of anything, you owe that game or that league or that field respect for elevating you to that status. You are an ambassador of the game or field. And as such, you need to be humble to begin with. Look at Wayne Gretzky. For those of us hockey fans, we know damn well why he is known as The Great One. Why 99 is retired as a player number. The man was on another plane of existence with his rink IQ. Compared to his peers, he was actually small and kinda reidy (I say that while being virtually the same size as him at 6'1" and 180 lbs, but I was a mediocre high school player, and he is a living legend, so no disrespect to the Great One). Yet whenever he is asked about today's players, he always celebrates their game, he roots for his own records to be beaten, he is a model of the true sportsman and gentleman. It's not only his game that makes him the Great One. It's who he is on and off the ice. With Taurasi, the *bitterness* towards an aspiring rookie talent is nothing short of disgraceful. Trying to degrade Clark's skill, dismissing her achievements, and outright being petty and spiteful towards the new talent who is electrifying a life support league, Taurasi herself allegedly wants to build up into a respectable game. But with her behavior towards Clark, her naked envy and resentfulness is so blatant and grotesque, and coming from someone who is supposedly a "great," only further tarnishes the WNBA's already unfortunate reputation. With the way the league is acting, it becomes harder and harder to justify the expense to the NBA, and I think it's pretty obvious that if it wasn't the only women's pro basketball league, it would have folded long ago. But I think as someone who has been an athlete all throughout school, and is still athletic and fit at 40, the WNBA needs a wake-up call. Because this season, and in some other well-publicized instances in prior seasons, they are not setting a good example for young female athletes. They are not being sportswoman by demonstrating the basic tenets of good sportsmanship. Instead they are sadly acting out all the worst feminine stereotypes in a way that embarasses my women friends. No matter what you're doing, be it sport or career in any field... being an honorable person who can follow, lead, and inspire is what sports are meant to teach. And sadly, the WNBA is failing across the board. I hope they learn to do better.

Let’s not beat around the bush. Although it’s predominantly female hate, I break it down into two categories of why CC is getting so much hate from the majority of the WNBA. She’s white.

This is why women who hate each other will still act nice face to face - men typically don't do that and will avoid one another, or fight and then it's over. There's this myth that will never die about a female lead world being more peaceful - and yet today we have more women in leadership positions than ever before and look at the state of the world?

Idk. It has been her whole life, basically. I can actually understand how Tuarasi feels even though it isn’t fair to Clark. It’s got to be hard knowing that you gave everything you had for the sport for 20 years and now a newcomer is instantly more successful, famous, expanding the sport. I think anyone would feel some resentment. The problem is that a lot of other voices are feeding into that, and justifying the poor treatment of Clark. It’s too bad Tuarasi is struggling to find a positive perspective. She inspired Caitlin, and that means whatever Caitlin does for the sport is in part because of the influence she had on her as a child just by being a great women’s basketball player. That would be a positive outlook, but that’s not always easy when everything is changing around you. Being petty is often easier than being mature. Hopefully it gets better for both of them, and the sport. They would be unstoppable together as ambassadors for the sport. The elder stateswoman and the most popular rookie in history.
