Why would she need to?

I guess Shohei Otani is the wrong gender.

Seems legit. Even you normies were talking about her and the WNBA.

Clark coming to the WNBA accomplished a helluva a lot more than Ohtani…

A field goal percentage on dunk attempts is typically considered to be very high, often around 70% or higher because dunking is considered one of the most reliable ways to score in basketball, meaning that most dunk attempts are successful.

Wrong year for Shohei because he didn’t pitch. Still a great player but not multi-dimensional.

It's so focking stupid that people got upset with what she said.  One side thinks she is woke now and the other side doesn't think she did enough.  WTF?

She said she has white privilege, in a league that consists of something like 70% black women.  She said the league was built on black women and they don't get enough credit.  That's all woke bullsh*t.  My guess is she's trying to appease that 70% so they quit decking her every game.   A better alternative would be if the focking refs/league did their job, but that's another discussion.

She probably should have just stayed out of it and played basketball.  She CHOSE to insert herself in to the discussion.

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.

[kilroy69 1,216]

I can agree with this. She made the WNBA interesting to watch. I literally cannot remember anyone who did that before.

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.

[thegeneral 2,939]

She got people to watch. Had a historic season. Pretty obvious pick.

Shohei would have been good as well. Maybe if he had Freeman’s post season.

Can’t really remember anyone from Olympics dominating.

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

I’m impressed she said that. She’s 100% correct.

That we can’t name the soccer player kind of diminishes that

Biles on the board too I’m sure. I’d out her behind Clark and Shohei.

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

Its pandering and stupid.  She could have easily said she would have never had this opportunity if it weren't for the excellent players that came before her.  She had to add race to it.  Absolutely no need for that.

She was being asked about race in the interview though.
