    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Guess I'm the only one looking at the big picture. Oh well. At least my kid won't grow up to be like CC

    I never said it was new. But such actions are becoming more and more common. I never said CC was the first star athlete to act childish. So I guess by your comments you either participate in yelling at officials at a second grade baseball game or your don't condone it. Just my assumption I am...

    Sure - a parent has to explain to their kid that they shouldn't act the way their favorite player is behaving. Of course, if the player didn't act childish, the parent could instead use the player to reinforce the characteristics they want their child to have Parents will always be their kids'...

    It's all part of the same underlining issue: kids having bad role models

    I'm not sure how many kids still follow Georges, so I'm not sure how much of a role model he is anymore. He's certainly no where near the volume of kids looking up to CC. But yes, this is the troubling trend. I guess you also don't have any issues of parents berating officials too, right?

    Exactly. It's not unique to CC. But more and more star athletes are behaving this way. My sport role model as a kid was Kirby Puckett. A HOF player whose first priority was doing what was best for the team and rarely ever complained. This trend is getting worse and worse each year. It has...

    Have you seen this thread at all? There are plenty of clips with CC acting childish. And her behavior is catching the attention of other fans. Shall I post the pic of the gal holding her phone again?

    It's not a leap at all. Kids emulate the people they look up to. And I am talking about KIDS, not young adults who are watching CC play. It is a growing issue with how kids are learning to work with each other and problem solve. Whining and complaining doesn't solve anything! So if kids...

    So you are suggesting kids don't learn any skills that can be applied to their future career from playing sports? Edit: you clearly didn't interpret the underlining issue properly. This seems appropriate

    It's the fundamental issue of whining/complaining (again... this goes for any athlete, especially the athletes kids look up to). The vast, vast majority of kids will never play collegiately or beyond, including my kid. But I still encourage my kid to play sports as there are many skills they...

    Agreed. And because she’s made such a big imprint on female bb, her on court attitude/antics can be questioned. There are likely some girls who see CC complaining all the time to officials and think since CC does it, there’s nothing wrong if they do it, too. I would have the same feelings of...

    I think Nebraska is in, but they are 17-1 at home and 2-7 on the road.

    What would cause TJ to move?

    TJ won’t leave. These writers are often instructed they need to write an article about an existing coaching vacancy in or upcoming vacancy. These writers have absolutely no clue who would be interested in the job; they simply list coaches who have been with a program for a short time while...

    I respect her athletic abilities. I can’t stand her attitude.

    All we need to do is post this pic anytime you want to debate about CC’s on court attitude. It’s perfect
