It appears that Caitlin Clark has now spoken out about the racist people that enjoy her. Now, to be fair, not everybody that likes Caitlin Clark is racist, but all racists like Caitlin Clark. Does that make sense? Not everybody who likes Caitlin Clark or the Indiana fever are racist. It just so happens that they're the most popular team amongst, you know, Fox News watchers, people who buy the Trump Bible, people who buy the Trump sneakers, people who buy the Trump coins, whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Like that is their favorite team, the Indiana fever. They really enjoy this team. But let's see. Let's do this. Let's play a couple commercials. And then let's hear Caitlin Clark denounce all of the racist people that use her for clicks. Visit BetMDM Casino and check out the newest exclusive. the price is right fortune pick

Starting point is 00:01:57 Bloomberg sees the era of billionaire athletes. A fad to some, the future of money to others. We see crypto's trillion dollar swings. The end of jobs or the end of human struggle. We see the endless funds fueling the AI hype. While others follow the noise, we follow the money. Learn more at Bloomberg.com. All right, let's listen to this audio and see.
Starting point is 00:02:27 here. Mention that she and other players get a lot of flack for being your teammate and that it can be hard to play for fans that may or may not like you. Like showing up every day to compete for, you know, fans that may or may not like you as hard, you know? First of all, that's fucking stupid. It's fucking stupid, okay? Like, look, I planned on making fun of, like, right-wing people here, and I will.
Starting point is 00:02:49 But the idea that you show up at the gym every day and everybody who's in Indiana hate you because you're black or lesbian. I don't know if this lady's lesbian or not, but I mean the percentages would indicate she might be. But like that you're black or you're not Caitlin Clark. Like that's just fucking stupid and it's lazy. Get fucking lost. The idea that everybody that's in Indiana that's at these games
Starting point is 00:03:13 is somehow racist and they don't like you because of who you are. It's just it's preposterous. People understand that. I think having to show up for people that, you know, don't look at you and have like, Like, you know, the eyes, the star eyes when they see me, but playing with CC and having the eyes that she got, you know, we get a lot of flak for just for being on her team. And so I think that that comes with a lot, too. And I just think that people got to give us grace.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I think this organization is unbelievable, man. But I think that when it comes to like really trying to be yourself, it hasn't always been easy. Are you all close? What the fuck are you talking about? My God. again, these poor WNBA people, they have no idea what they're doing. Again, they're hillbillies that won a billion dollars in the lottery and they have no idea what to do with it.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And you know what happens when hillbillies get a billion dollars? They're just hillbillies with a billion dollars. It doesn't change who they are. So what is your reaction to her comments and also the attention this team receives because of you, but maybe not attention that you necessarily ask for? Right. I mean, you know, obviously I saw Kelsey's comments. And I think as her teammate, like, it makes you upset because you care about your teammates so much.
Starting point is 00:04:26 And you don't want any of them to go through something like that. And again, like, what does this person go through? Like, how difficult is it to be on a WNBA team? Like, yes, they're dipshits like Clay Travis and Innes Cantor in these assholes that basically exploit the league and do whatever they're doing to it. But, you know, like, what exactly is happening? You guys are getting fucking attention. Here's one thing about these poor WNBA dwebs. They have no idea how to handle actual attention.
Starting point is 00:04:57 We saw it with the Asia Wilson thing, right? The guy pointed at Asia Wilson and said, that fouls on you. And then she's like confronting this guy and wants to come to blows with him. Like, these people do not know how to handle any sort of success or prosperity. We know this about these people. They cannot do it. They are incapable of having success. You don't want any of them to go through something.
Starting point is 00:05:21 something like that. And, you know, I think for the people that, you know, have followed me, obviously there is such a microscope on me and that kind of comes with everybody else that I've been teammates with, whether that was my time at Iowa, whether that's been here and comes with a lot of really great things. And then at times there can be some negatives. I think as far as people that have used me to, you know, demonstrate racist rhetoric or hate or discrimination, that's not something I stand for. That's never been something. Here's the thing that these people don't realize and they won't acknowledge it, is that literally the only reason why the WNBA is a national talking point is because of racism.
Starting point is 00:06:04 The reason why anybody, and I'm not talking about like, you know, lesbians or, you know, people who've watched the WNBA anyway back when nobody cared about the WNBA. Those people watched it, I guess, because they like lady basketball. The reason why it's being discussed on Fox News and on CNN and all these other places is because of racism. And that's because of the shit with Angel Reese, right? Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, the Dave Portnois and the fucking Clay Travis's and the right-wing media people. Like the only reason they're engaged in any sort of conversation about it is they know it will get reaction. They know it'll get clicks and it's rooted in race. That's it.
Starting point is 00:06:46 this isn't really difficult. The problem with the WNBA, and like notice, we're not talking anything about what happens in these games in the WNBA because none of us give a shit other than me because you all make some late over bets, which I did hit in that New York Liberty Atlanta Dream game the other night, I rule.
Starting point is 00:07:05 But nobody actually gives a shit about the results on the court. All they care about is the social drama that comes from it. I guess Caitlin Clark has finally been forced into confronting the fact that she has some fans, fans, quote unquote. Who knows if they're actual fans or they're just people that use her on social media. But she has quote unquote fans that are probably bigots, probably racist. Now, that's not to say that these other players don't have those too. I mean, look at Sophie Cunningham.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Like Sophie Cunningham is popular because MAGA people like her. Sophie Cunningham decided to, you know, get some new teeth. She has OZMPIC face, a small ass, all the things that MAGA guys. like. She's the perfect and she says real basic takes like, hey women should play women's sports and these guys just beat off to it. They're like
Starting point is 00:07:55 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, just splutin. Just splutin. That's not the right word. Ross, you're spluding right now. That means like his legs are all spluted out. They're splooging. These guys are all, they're all jizzin as it were. Like, nothing
Starting point is 00:08:12 turns on these weird magadudes more than And, you know, Sophie Cunningham's flat ass, fake teeth, ozempic face, shaking her ass everywhere. Then acting like she's profound. Like, I'll see clips of her podcast. And she's like, well, I mean, what's her name? Sidney, oh, Cindy Sweetie. You know, I mean, that's what she does.
Starting point is 00:08:36 She gets naked and that's kind of her thing. Like, ma'am, literally, you do nothing but shake your ass on the internet and wear nothing entering the WNBA game. When you show up at the WNBA game, half the time you're wearing underpants. Shut the fuck up. You're annoying. You're fake as shit.
Starting point is 00:08:55 You have a fake look about you. The only people that are over here beaten off to you are people who buy the Trump Bible. You're fucking annoying. Bless your heart. You're a nobody. If not for the fact that you made the most basic stance ever. Like literally, is there a more basic, like, benign stance
Starting point is 00:09:12 than, hey, women should play women's sports. Like, that's not exactly. daring. Like, not to compliment Colin Kaepernick, but it's a much more controversial issue to go take a need during the national anthem than it is to say, hey, I'm a lady and lady basketball, and I think ladies should play lady basketball, and that's it, bligety-blue. Like, that's not really a hot take. That's not really controversial. That's not really going to end your life. But you know what's going to happen for the Sophie Cunningham. as the Sophie Cunningham, they're eventually going to let her walk from, actually, here's the best part.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So with all the guys that took a knee during the National Anthem and all those guys, one of the big talking points was, well, the teams don't want to deal with that distraction. That's why they cut these guys. That's why they let them go, right? Well, it is a possibility that maybe the Indiana fever don't view a chick that scores like four points off the bench like Sophie Cunningham as some sort of key contributor to the team. that's worth the headache that's caused by all the drama that she does and the shit she talks on her podcast and the pointing she does at people in the ass she's jiggling on the internet. So they might just say, yeah, not really worth it does, we'll just let you walk.
Starting point is 00:10:24 What will happen is all those MAGA people are going to come out. They're going to be like, can you believe they cut Sophie Cunningham because she spoke her truth? And those are probably the same people that were totally fine with like Colin Kaepernick and all these other guys being ostracized because they spoke their truth, they're all fucking frauds. Everybody, if you're involved in politics and you weigh in on sports, generally speaking, you're probably a fucking fraud if I had to guess.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Now, to the point about Caitlin Clark, like, Caitlin Clark, more so than Sophie Cunning. Like, I truly, and I'm saying this, and there might be a level of naivete on my part here. But when I see this Caitlin Clark, I truly do not believe. she cares to be used as a pawn in this wacky racial game because she's actually a good lady basketball player. She's a star lady basketball player. She scores a shit ton of points. She gets a bunch of threes. Got her own signature shoes.
Starting point is 00:11:22 She makes a ton of cash. Whatever. Like, I don't look at her and think she's, like, happy to be, like, a pawn in game of political life. Mongo, only pawn in game of life, right? Like, I don't think she views herself in that way. I don't think she likes that. I think Sophie Cunningham fucking loves it because Sophie Cunningham knows that Sophie Cunningham
Starting point is 00:11:45 is a next to worthless basketball player. She knows that literally no one gives a shit about her because of basketball. Like I think she's smart enough to know that. That's why she gets in in this kind of, you know, maga world and she doesn't tell you that she's mag. I mean, like, apparently she's banging a black guy. So, like, she's not out here telling you she's super maga,
Starting point is 00:12:04 but she never, like, doesn't tell you she's maga. And then she's like, she'll like have some little subtle right wing thing she does in her podcast and shit she says where she'll be like, hey, you know, I'm, you know, like she basically she doesn't flaunt it, but she also doesn't deny it. Because she knows that's where her bread is butter. That's she knows that she's not Caitlin Clark who's going to play in the WNBA for X number of years and make millions of dollars. She knows that her path to fame and fortune and popularity is to a. appeal to white-ass dudes that want to beat off to her flat ass. That's like that's what she knows. She's pretty fucking smart with that. That's not difficult. She's very smart at that. That's a smart business move. You know, she knows that she can never come out and have some sort of like
Starting point is 00:12:53 anti-maga stance because then it's going to piss off all of her people that view her as some sort of right-wing fucking goddess. So they can't do that. Now, Caitlin Clark, I don't think ever wanted to be right wing got it's like she essentially caught astray and that put her in the maga universe but because she's the biggest star a bunch of people hold it against her and be like she never denounces her racist people well it's not your fucking fault that people at least in her case it's not your fault that a bunch of people are fucking you know using you as a pawn in this sophy cunningham embraces being used as a pawn because she knows that's all she's got she's a marginal basketball player she had to go in and put in some fucking veneers and shoot up some ozempic and have a skeletal face in a flat ass
Starting point is 00:13:41 and shake her fucking flat ass on the internet for anybody to pay attention to her. Like, Caitlin Clark does none of that, mostly because she looks like screech. So no one's going to watch videos of her shaking her ass. But like Caitlin Clark never asked to be this poster child of like political divide. Like I, no, she played a basketball game. She lost a game to Angel Reese. Angel Reese talk shit. Clay Travis and his band of Mary bigots got in on it, and that became a huge talking point,
Starting point is 00:14:11 and it became this great racial war. But I don't think she asked for it. Like when I watch her, and I see the way she handles herself, I don't think she owes it to anybody to come out and denounce people for being racist or whatever. That's not her fucking job. But I also don't think she stepped up and embraced and wanted to be part of this whole political thing. Whereas someone like Sophie Cunningham, she knows. knows it's all she's got.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Marginal basketball player, before she got new teeth and new fucking cheekbones or whatever the fuck she did, she knew she was pretty fucking basic. So she's like, this is all she's got. And she embraces that because she knows that without like, and not just right wing dudes, but like right wing ladies that are like, oh my God, good for her. She said what we're all thinking that ladies should play ladies sports. Again, not exactly a controversial take. Don't let the internet fool you.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Ladies playing ladies' sports and how, like, it should just be ladies playing ladies' sports is a pretty fucking, like, unanimously believed upon point. Don't be fooled by whatever dipshit you see on the internet. The vast majority of people are like, okay, that makes sense. Ladies should play ladies sports. Cool. Next. Next.
Starting point is 00:15:33 You know, like, this isn't some sort of. of like controversial take. But everybody acts like it is. Like, oh my God, she's so brave and she stands up for all this shit. No, she's very smart. She's understood that this is her lane and this is her path to fame and fortune. No one's listening to her podcast because she's a fucking lady basketball player. They're listening to her podcast because she shakes her coos on the fucking internet and she has
Starting point is 00:16:01 one hot maga type take that makes these guys dicks hard. And that's it. Makes her little dangle's tingle because she's like, oh, lady should play lady. Oh, yeah. And she's, you know, white. That's obviously a part of it too.
Starting point is 00:16:15 But I don't think Caitlin Clark goes into this shit aiming to be, you know, the face of Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Like, I don't think that's her main ambition in life, you know? And I also don't think it's her responsibility to denounce racism. I think we all kind of know racism's no good. Like the fact that it's like a,
Starting point is 00:16:33 like people have viewed it incumbent upon. on her to come out and be like, hey, you know what's bad? Racism. Well, no fucking shit. My God. Anyway, more to come. Where some see heroes and others see egos. Bloomberg sees the era of billionaire athletes. While others follow the noise, we follow the money.
