I been watching the WNBA since Swoopes, Cooper, Thompson, played for the Comets. Was excite to see what Lisa Leslie, Chamique Holdsclaw, and Candace Parker would bring to the league when they played. I'm well aware of the history of the league. I don't disagree with you about players not giving a fuck about CC. Where I will disagree with you though, is her positive impact on the league. Fair or not..she is the lone reason they are able to enjoy charter flights. And much of the reason for renewed interest in the league. All of that brings in more money, and at some point will hopefully trickle down.
I never said it was ok for black players to take abuse. My point was the league will protect its viable products. That includes black players too. Boston, nor any of the other players(black and white) have had this much attention on the league. You could easily swap out Boston for any white player and it would've be the same. Now that people are paying attention. You will see more discussion about player conduct on the floor. CC being the biggest star in the league right now. Is gonna receive attention when stuff like last night happens. She happens to be white and from middle America. So yeah, her fans who are mostly white. Will be quick to speak out.
And no one is saying you or me should worship her. But the fact is she has a large fan base. And WNBA want to continue to sell out those venues and merchandise. It also brings in local fans who want to root against her. It's a win/win for the league. The other rookies have had a similar affect, just not on the same scale.
you out of pocket, White dude posting this on a black message board
