2024-06-17
Avast ye mateys! 'Tis be said that former NFL star Robert Griffin III be claimin' that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese be caught in a race war unfair to them and the sport. Arrr, me hearties, the seas be rough with controversy! Aye, 'tis a storm brewin' indeed!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the hot takes be pourin' onto social media like grog on a thirsty crew after Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese gave Indiana Fever sharpshooter Caitlin Clark a whack with her elbow on a lay-up attempt. Reese be called for a common foul at first, but those scurvy referees upgraded it to a flagrant-1 foul upon further review, matey. The Fever ended up with a 91-83 victory in the end.The foul caused a ruckus, with former NFL star Robert Griffin III likening the discourse around the two lasses to a "race war," aye. WNBA players and pundits be fixated on Clark's popularity and race, instead of the basketball being played, even before she stepped foot on the court, arrr.Clark be bombarded with questions about being caught in the "culture wars" before facing the Sky, but she showed her mettle by scoring 23 points during the game. Reese be claimin' it was just a "basketball play" and not a scurvy foul. Clark played it cool, sayin' it be what it be, matey.Despite the commotion, the game be played, and the hoopsters be movin' on to the next port of call, ready for whatever challenges lie ahead on the high seas of the WNBA.
