I'm happy for the girls game. They should definitely be paid more. They should be able to comfortably retire and be set for life after a 10 year career. I'm good with whatever has to happen to make that possible.
Unfortunately what is predictable, any time a female athlete or women's sports is mentioned we hear they aren't as good as men.
Almost like context matters ... but who needs to actually hear what was said when they could get mad about a headline?
And all this does is give this guy what he wanted, which was attention. Why is it so notable that there would be this opinion when there's hundreds of millions of people in this country and billions on this planet? Guess what the Taliban probably think Caitlin Clark should be doing?
We could be focusing on the positive, which is that Caitlin Clark is arguably the most popular woman basketball player in the history of the sport. Which shows great growth in the popularity of the sport. Or We could be focusing on someone who wants attention and sexism.
I'm not saying Caitlin is better than Sabrina. I said she's more popular. Although, I do have a feeling that Caitlin will be better than Sabrina. At least as a scorer. I think Sabrina is a better all around player.
I read the post that gave it context and realize I have all the information I need to say this got blown out of proportion by people who did not see the actual context. Sounds about right for how our society is now.
Agreed that people need to watch the video before getting upset in either direction. My gut was to think “who the hell does this guy think he is” and then I watched it and realized I was in the wrong.
True. I'll definitely take Sabrina over Caitlin 1v1. And I just think I'd like Sabrina more as as person as well. It'll be cool to see these two squaring off in the future.
