outperformed black players and the media is crying racism and B-Ball should be represented by Blacks, not White or other race...
A USA Today writer wrote a racist hit piece complaining...
“the Black players who built women’s hoops…haven’t been acknowledged,” and “it matters that the faces of the future look like the faces of the past.”
In the piece, with a headline, “Women’s basketball needs faces of future to be Black,” Lindsay Schnell, an enterprise reporter for the outlet, wrote that JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo are set to become the future of women’s basketball.
“Not lost on any of the powerbrokers in the game: Both of these players are Black. And in a game built by Black women, it matters that the faces of the future look like the faces of the past,” Schnell wrote.
Schnell continued that marketing tactics have centered around Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu and Paige Bueckers.
“Too often, the Black players who built women’s hoops — and who now dominate the professional level, where the WNBA is 70% Black — haven’t been acknowledged,” she continued.
“Part of that has to do with position. Casual fans fall hard for playmakers, athletes who have the ball in their hands and create shots. Paint players might have great footwork, but that doesn’t usually translate to highlight reels. Consider that power forward A’ja Wilson, arguably the best player in the world, whose award résumé is longer than a Walgreens receipt, doesn’t have near the star power of Clark.”
So, according to this racist writer... Women basketball should have a Black face representing it no matter if a white girl, asian girl or latino girl is much much better.
