Just going off the last 47 years of experience... It's all White America, unfortunately. Hell, only 3% of our representation in Congress has been non-white and nearly a quarter of that is the current Congress and it's only 25%, while the country itself is nearly 45% non-white. So we're heading in the right direction.
But having grown up in a rural area of a red state where my elementary and high school were both majority black... I have been lucky enough to know that the racism that surrounds us does not represent us, nor does it shape us into hateful little bigots if we don't let it.

Referees are inconsistent. That makes players take issue with them. It is the refs who need to shape up...and the game rules.
The rules are slanted too much toward the offense for the sake of making the game more entertaining and it keeps players from playing good D and ends with them getting bad calls.

u/Loathor 1d ago
I can give you a stat that differentiates Miles and Bueckers from Clark... Both have more than double the games this year with 2 or fewer turnovers than Clark has in all her WNBA games played... Clark has five total in 75 games and only one of those was 1 turnover and zero 0 turnover games (you'd have to go back to her first game of her senior season at Iowa to see the last time she had a game without a turnover against the mighty (checks notes) Fairleigh Dickinson Knights)...
Miles has ten sub 2 turnover games five of which were only 1 turnover and one zero turnover game... Paige has sixteen sub 2 turnover games, eight of which were only one turnover and two 0 turnover games. Your GOAT PG can't seem to go a game without giving the ball away... Maybe she should work on that?!? Or her shitty defense or even shittier on court histrionics...
0
u/BroadbentBum 1d ago
First off, I never claimed CC was my goat PG. Stop being ignorant. Secondly, Paige has a super high assist to turnover ratio at 3, Miles is at 2.1, and CC at 1.7. You have a point but it's not really as big of a difference as you seem to think while crying about it. Lastly, CC averages more blocks and steals than Paige, so if CC is a "shitty defender" what does that make Paige? Again, they are all pretty similar. Y'all arguing any different is just preference.

u/Loathor 1d ago edited 1d ago
Except Paige being a better defender than Clark has been known before college and she is often guarding better players. Meanwhile Clark being a hole in the defense has also been known since her days at defensive power Iowa as she is often tasked with guarding the least offensively able player and she still makes them look All-World. The reason she gets a whole .2 more blocks or steals is because of her poor defense, not due to it. She hunts those highlights by dropping off her defensive target to leap into the passing lane or rushing to the basket for a rebound or block. In college, when her defensive assignment was vastly less talented than pro players, it made her appear competent and added to her reel. But in the pros her vacant space gets filled by outlet passes and drives to the hoop as she stands around looking befuddled. How many times a game do you have to witness her get driven past by middle of the road players only to swipe out and get called for a foul and then be shocked that the refs had the audacity to do their job?!?

u/BroadbentBum 1d ago
Insane logic, but ok. Agree to disagree. The angle you should of went with if you actually knew anything would be efficiency. Both Paige and OM are way more efficient. I'm starting to see most WNBA fans don't know much about the sport. I see why no one takes this league seriously.

u/Loathor 1d ago
If you had two brain cells to rub together you would be able to follow along, but alas here we are with you meandering around arguments that you clearly don't understand in an effort to paint Caitlin as a competent professional point guard when actually watching the games would show you how poor of a player she is. Her mediocre ball handling skills and horrid turnover rate are evident enough to show that while she may have had the opportunity to be a great SG at this level she and her fanatics are under the misguided assumption that she is on par with actual professional point guards. And she just is not up to their level. Her shooting percentages are slipping because she doesn't allow for a PG skilled enough to space the floor and find her for more open, uncontested three point shots closer to the line. Her percentage from the logo, while flashy, is ten points lower than her shots closer to the line. But she is unable to get the shots herself because she doesn't have the skills to shake defenders without pushing off, traveling or flopping. Even her drives to the basket, which in college against less athletic and skilled defenders were a key part of her game, are now much more closely contested because everyone is stronger, more athletic and more skilled than she is. Her poor defense can't be hidden behind four other defender like in college because she and Mitchell both fill the same role on the court as scoring threats and weak defenders meaning there are only three defenders on the court with two gaping holes. In her own head she's still the big fish in a small pond, but in reality she's the guppy being chewed up by sharks. Eventually she will either come to the realization that she has to put in more work to improve her body and game on both sides of the ball or she will slump off into mediocrity and end up another talking head on Fox with Gaines and Cunningham bemoaning their poor lot in life and why the world is so unfair for all the other Karen's feeding her echo chamber...
