This is exactly why we have to 1. Know who we are. 2. Understand our value. 3. Affirm ourselves and each other. 4. Be able to know when to tell people to Fu.. Off.
Thank you. You've explained the dissonance I have been feeling throughout women's basketball the past couple of years. I need to chew on this a while. Again, thank you. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
What clarity. Thank you for this piece that is both challenging and hugely compassionate all around. Isn't it amazing that people are really watching and focussing on women's basketball and finding that it matters. Hopefully these blinders that cause this biased focus will be lifted and perhaps even make a wider difference in how we understand what makes a winning team- all sorts of stars, smart coaching, resources and support, and lots of heart and hard work by all.
WNBA is like little league for basketball. It’s cute that girls can play too, but don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s boy’s high school level basketball at best.

Thank you so much for writing this. So powerful, so true. 🖤🔥 I live here in Columbia, SC and these women deserve so much better.

Thank you for amplifying this reality.
Thank you as always for your insightful and thoughtful words! I heard Clark was on SNL’s weekend update’ and I was wondering WHY?! Oh, right.
