We're a big sports family. My wife and I both played multiple sports in high school. We have season tickets to Iowa football games. On a lot of Sundays we all watch football together and keep track of our fantasy football teams. It's a pretty big part of our lives.

I know it's not for everyone but I've found enjoyment in it. There are plenty of times it can be very hard to watch.

My wife has coached girls basketball for 17 years and she played in college as well. I've been around it a long time.

I have a 10 year old daughter who plays sports.

Seems like a great example on why all the gun talk from the left is pointless.

They may be the worst run sports league in the world. They've been handed a golden opportunity but can't get out of their own way.

Seems odd that a shooting like this hasn't sparked debates about gun reform. I don't think it did after Trump was shot either.

The WNBA really doesn't want to succeed, does it? https://twitter.com/cnnsport/status/1867574826681897140

Same here.

There is a large group of people on the left and right that feel the need to get upset over the dumbest crap. I think they enjoy it.

You can be part of the group that overreacts to what she said then. I don't think she had any intent to be "woke" in any way.

Hell of a business man.

All of the accomplishments she's made on the court is her own doing but her being white helps tip the scales in her favor more when it comes to certain things, like endorsements and popularity in general. It seems pretty obvious to me. It's not woke, it's just reality.

This is the full article. https://time.com/7200904/athlete-of-the-year-2024-caitlin-clark/ This is an interview after the article came out.

It's being made into something way more than it should be. It's just crazy how groups of people can blow things out of proportion on social media. I don't know exactly what she was referring to when she mentioned privilege. She may have been referring to sponsors or any number of other things. Being a straight, white girl in a sport dominated by lesbian, black girls is going to provide different opportunities for her. It's just the way it is.

Where are you coming up with this shite? When did Clark say anything like that? It's like you guys just make this crap up just so you can be mad. I've seen morons posting this same bs on social media and none of it's true. She didn't apologize for being white. She didn't say she was ashamed of being white. She didn't say she got where she is right now because she's white.

She was being asked about race in the interview though.

She didn't apologize though.

Nope, I just accept the reality that it does exist. I see no reason to be in denial of it.

You're an idiot.

I agree but I believe it's a worldwide recognition. Apparently he's very popular everywhere else.

There is a soccer player that a lot of people think should have won it. Biles was another that people thought could have won.

She was asked the question in an interview. She gets bombarded with these questions all the time. I can't imagine anyone else would've handled it better in her position.

The league was built on black women, that's not a woke statement. She acknowledged that she has had privilege from being white, that's just a fact. She never said anything about her having white privilege in the WNBA or that she's ashamed of being white like I've seen morons say on social media. People like yourself are reading way too far into what she said and are overreacting.

We open presents Christmas Eve. I like seeing the kids get their presents. My wife and I usually buy what we want when we need it which makes buying presents for each other very difficult. Why put that stress on each other just to open a present on Christmas?
