Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

No worries. You don’t need to read where I used “CC” with “Wisconsin sell out”. You could if you wanted to, but you’ll see it doesn’t exist.
Honestly if I re-read it would take a while to get through all your stuff about how she has no humility.

You only have to go back a couple pages to the last couple hours for when the discussion switched. Show me where I showed “hate” for CC because Wisconsin claimed a sellout?

Look, I’m not a fan of her on court antics. She is an exceptional player. Exceptional players shouldn’t feel the need to constantly complain to officials.

I have no idea what CC is like off the court as I’ve never met her. All I can speak is what I see on the court. She would be much more likable if she just didn’t complain to officials.

Yeah I think the "hate" came out before the sellout talk.

To be clear, I couldn't care less if you hate CC. You're not the only one. Just own it.

Maybe CC should win something first before being compared to MJ and Tiger.

That’s just beyond stupid, and Hassel should know better. But he’s a Hawk lover, so he doesn’t.

As I said over Christmas, none of my visiting family members from outside the state had any idea who CC was? That was 4 whole families. They all know who MJ and Tiger are.
My visiting family from FIVE different states all knew who she was.

I made my reasons clear. You need to accept that not everyone likes her on court behavior. I have said numerous times she is a great and exceptional player. Nobody has even questioned that. But you should agree some of her on court antics get old. She should be better than that. I have that opinion and many do here as well. That doesn’t make her less of a player. It just makes it harder to “like” her.

If she cleaned up her complaining, I would have a much easier time supporting her.
 
I am sure that ISU regularly draws 14,267 or more for their home games. After all, they have been women's basketball fans long before Iowa fans even knew women's basketball existed.
This is such an ignorant comment and I'm an ISU fan. The Iowa women were one of the top programs in the country in the 80s and early 90s under Vivian Stringer. They were better than ISU has ever been under BF. They had a big following and everything. Went to a final four in that period too.

That's going to take some serious soul searching. But, ok.

A triple double in college basketball is not a single statistic haha. Clark is great and the best player in college women’s basketball today. She’s not a generational player, that’s just silly.
She’s likely to become the all-time leading scorer in college basketball while doing it at high major. Explain to me what it takes to be generational?
 
So…. To summarize…

ESPN, State Farm, Gatorade, Nike, Buick, Bose, and H&R Block either really want that “**** you” Iowa money market or they enjoy wasting it? Seems like those brands are bit different than Casey’s and Von Maur.

CC has to move several area codes to get near those athletes neighborhood.

Don't do that comp,...it isn't, and never will be, fair to equate a fan favorite to the real GOAT's.

When you hear the same talking points come out from multiple people in local media (specifically the Tiger\MJ thing too), it tells you that some in the local media get a bit too wrapped up in their own bubble of whatever group chat they're all in together.
