Riding coattails is a concept that anti-Caitlin peers in the WNBA are clearly above. Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, I guess they think.

But it's not fair that they couldn't get those commas themselves and it's dirty, colonizer money...

You do realize Sophie is Caitlin’s teammate and was brought in to be an enforcer for Fever right?

Of course I realize that.

However, do you realize that my comment was in response to the rest of the league who "literally hate her" despite her adding zero's to their bank account? (which was directly quoted in my response)

I agree with you but I also see where it is different with males being fanatical/fans about females. There is an inherent power dynamic and inequality at play that undergirds it, versus females/kids and other men waiting outside of male athletes hotels, etc.

It will have to be a learned and evolved parasocial relationship if WNBA is going to mature and be a big time league to drive the big time bucks. I'm just saying I can see how it would creep women out because while I'm sure there are authentically good-natured men who are just fans of the sport and the league and the players, there has to be a massive amount of creeps who are super creepy as well. The caitlin clark stalker comes to mind.

Grown men seeking autographs are not fans, they are dealers or otherwise looking to sell.  I wouldn’t be upset with any athlete that only signs for kids.

I mean...I'd ask VY for an autograph and hang it in my office or frame the football.

Also grown men:

male athletes have to put up with the same autograph hounds and more. this is another example of everyone rushing to treat the women differently- including the women themselves- even though they swear that they want everything that the men get. autograph re-sell hounds are a FAR bigger problem for men than for women, but we’re making a bigger deal out of it this time because the athletes are women. it’s just so selective. they want the money and the fame of men, but they still want to be a protected class when it comes to the bullshit that male athletes have to deal with. it’s exhausting, and i can’t take any of them seriously. “i want to dress like a whore, but don’t sexualize me!” ok.

btw, i have memories of being in UT Men’s BB’s locker room my entire childhood, full of stark naked 18, 19, 20 year old players, and there’s female reporters in the locker room for interviews. sometimes there were other females in there who weren’t even reporters. i can only assume it’s still that way today. it’s definitely still that way in the nba. but does vic shafer hang out and watch his team shower? does mike white know where all of his players birthmarks are? does angel reese have to let numerous strange men see her naked after every single game she plays? i don’t think so. 

so yeah, for me, knowing so much about all of the privacy violations that male athletes have just silently lived with my entire life, i really have zero patience for the “treat us like men!!!” crowd when they whine about every single little thing that bothers them that men have been putting up with for decades. sign the autographs (or don’t) and move on and stfu about it and be grateful that you even have this problem to begin with.

She has almost tripled her social media reach since the incident. And it’s not just because she’s hot but more because she is CC’s enforcer.

truly insane what CC has done for that league, and even more insane that they all hate her for it.

 

doesn't mean she's a good person ?

Quote

Sophie Cunningham's repeated displays of unsportsmanlike conduct during games against the Connecticut Sun have reached a point where decisive action is necessary. Cunningham has been involved in numerous incidents that have not only compromised the safety of other players but also tarnished the reputation of the WNBA as a league that prides itself on integrity and fair play. ... 

We urge the WNBA to uphold its standards and take firm action against players who repeatedly demonstrate disrespect and aggression toward others. Removing Sophie Cunningham from the league would send a strong message that the WNBA does not tolerate violence or intimidation, ensuring that the court remains a place for celebration, skill, and unity rather than conflict.
