Teague on Angel Reese getting ratings: Angel being the villain and talking to Caitlyn Clark got eyeballs on the game. They also made it a race thing like this black girl acts crazy, so we all rally behind her like that's black girl magic. Then white people like she should carry herself like Caitlyn

Conflict gets ratings apparently

Teague just talking out of his ass

I haven't been keeping up, so has Caitlin done anything to invite all this? All I've seen are people getting worked up, while it's radio silence beyond the normal basketball media availability from her. Imagine being at the center of some memeified racial conflict while you're just trying to play basketball. Unless I've missed something.

lmao I knew I wasn't the only one who peeped that. Ya getting rage baited by a troll

Yeah, behaving like the villain is one thing but not owning it is really fucking lame, Dillon Brooks level dork shit

She does play the villain role and ONLY the villain role when it comes to basketball.

The “victim” part you seem to be identifying is just her speaking up about BLATANT racism and the undertones that are obvious to her and every other blk ppl. (I feel so strongly about this assumption that I will wrongly speak for us as a monolith)

Basketball and racism are separate things and she as a human being is allowed to commutate differently about different topics.

I encourage everyone who isn’t black to try to separate these two things.(Or atleast ask yourself why you’ve been thinking racism and the cancer we’ve historically seen it QUICKLY develops into is so indiscriminate it should just ignored because it’s not in stage 2 or 3 or … 4). I hope your eyes richen from good convo irl rather than cesspool that is mass media & marketing.

Ignore grammer, it’s 2am and I’m a insomniac

No..but there is a specific subreddit where it should all be averted to...

Nah its easier than that - if you see a reddit thread with "Caitlin Clark" in the title, you just don't click it or comment in it and you won't be participating

seriously, wnba has their own subreddit , why is this on r/nba?

Nothing unites fans like a good old fashioned race war.

History and the structures in society are also ‘obsessed’ with it. Because it’s a huge factor in how different people live and feel and think. People whining about anyone who mentions race in any capacity are almost entirely fucking chuds. So jot that down

dont see why not, race does matter in life, saying it doesnt would be disingenuous

They're averaging 8600 per game, up from 7200/g last season.

Don’t know about ratings. But she generates a lot of discussions for sure. Some people (Clark fans) are kinda obsessive about everything she does lol

Somewhat. Obviously, nothing crazy, and obviously miniature to Caitlin Clark.

Yes.

No but big props to him for explaining the unspoken part so easily

Pretty sure the NFL did that already with the ‘End Racism’ helmets!

Is it her entire personality or is it just the only thing people see on their timeline?

I'd say as a fan of hers (and Caitlin's, and the W in general), her personality is more built off hustle plays and leadership - her energy on the court is unmatched, she's always hyping up her teammates, she never gives up.

I also think she made some misteps looking for sympathy at the wrong time - she has a right to condemn the racist and sexist hate she's received, doing so at the podium after a loss wasn't that time.

But when Caitlin plays for sympathy - like her recent "nobody gives me advice, I wish" which is just untrue, it is treated with widespread sympathy and used to further the bs narrative of "Caitlin vs the W"

Now Angel absolutely has to improve her efficiency and she has to develop a reliable jumper, but she also gets unfairly vilified. And I'm not saying she doesn't taunt and talk trash, but when Caitlin does, it doesn't become a story with Barstool Sports and David Portnoy and every sports media outlet pushing some weird agenda.

For example, when Angel said "I guess some ppl get special whistles" she wasn't talking about Caitlin, she was talking about Aliyah Boston, who def fouled Angel a few times in the game in the post but ended with 0 fouls. However, huge media outlets plastered that quote out of context to make it seem like she was talking about Caitlin

Tell me you in lot pay attention to headlines and ESPN.

God forbid anybody speaks against the golden girl

Angel Reese just set a WNBA record with 10 straight double doubles but yall wouldn't know that cause yall just hate without actually watching

It’s shit like this which makes the discussion so tiring.

Angel Reese is a dominant rookie in a dominant rookie class (Caitlyn as well obviously). But you have people like OP who clearly don’t watch WNBA trying to reduce her down to TS% as a rookie so they can raise their flag for the Internet war

Thats not her playstyle. She just talks trash never fought on the court 

reese hasn't even done anything violent tho she just plays in the paint this is a dumb comparison

She isn’t “violent” at all

You’re telling on yourself.

Crazy comparison. Fuck did Reese do to the level of him?

Angel Reese isn’t violent 😭 

It’s like how people hated Tyler Hansborough

And as soon as Angel chokes a player on the ground, your comment will have merit.

Goddamn that’s a racist post 😂 mans just called her a super predator

Jesus Christ she is not violent bro.

You’re literally just calling Angel Reese a thug with more steps. Racist connotations dude

Sorry but Draymond is not a weirdo, he is one of the dirtiest player in recent time

Clark is having an incredible rookie year but it’s crazy to say the quality of play is awful outside her when there are demonstrably better players than her right now. If you want to say less entertaining, sure that’s subjective, but there absolutely are players at the same (or better) caliber as Clark.

Is she not supposed to get the rebound?

She doesn’t get any more rebounds from her own misses compared to other rebound leaders in the league.

That narrative is false once you look at the stats 16% of her rebounds come from her own misses 

You telling on yourself with this sorry take.

She’s more like an Andre Drummond

Lol boy go touch grass and get help. You the exact person we talking about

I just realized your username...lol...

You're not even wrong bro

Ew lol. You horny for Sid the sloth, my man?

Have you ever been on this sub

lol yes it is.

Lol that's adorable that you think they are the only ones to do that.
