If your referring to my post he's the one that said I hadn't been watching if I didn't agree with his post. All I said is some people here and on socials are becoming a little too sensitive to the "everyone's out to get Clark". YES there are issues on several fronts, but that doesn't mean people on socials need to contrive "boogey men" that aren't there.

I guess when they said the vets set the pace and it’s good for the younger players to sit on the bench and learn from the vets they weren’t referring to Chelsea Gray as a vet. And don’t think for a minute they weren’t saying those things because of Clark. If Miles would have been the one that did what Clark did, they wouldn’t have said any of that…it’s easy to see because past performance does prove intent. And I also said “if” they play Gray a lot they won’t win….I didn’t say they would.
So let’s all just ignore everything that’s been said and done and pretend it never happened or explain it all away as just a coincidence.
@Kceasthawk@77 is one of the most pro-CC posters on here…if he is telling people that they need to tone down the victim role just maybe people should listen.
NO ONE is ignoring anything. Good Lord dude. I've mentioned countless times some of the stuff that the goes on with players, and commentators in the W. Look back at my posts if you must. My point is some of this "boogieman mentality" that goes on social media, (not just here but X and others) is only adding extra and unwarranted fuel to the opposition that thinks CC22 fans are a bunch of crazies. I'm saying there's a middle ground here and everyone is not out to diminish her or what she's done in the league. Right after the section you highlighted, they spent two minutes just talking about how well Clark played and what she brings to the team.
No doubt some of the YouTube guys are over the top, but then again, the ESPN commentators certainly give them enough ammunition. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
Many CC fans are way too sensitive when it comes to this stuff. I watched the postgame, yeah they said the old guard deserves credit for starting the game and setting the tone, which is questionable but of course they're going to give the vets their flowers. They also spent a few minutes a little later focusing solely on CC and praising her play.
I saw the headlines about how insulting the whole thing was to CC and IMO it's kind of a "lighten up Francis" moment.
Megan DiLeo (Gustafson) is playing for Spain right now as you speak.
Good or bad, the US Supreme Court established birthright citizenship in 1898. Maybe turn off Fox News and read a book.
Lolol.. WHAT does that have to do with whether or not Betts "is Spanish" because she was born in Spain? She's not. And that was the sum of the original conversation. Gus, (Megan Dileo) isn't "Spanish" either,, I guarantee you. I believe because she has played several years in Spain in the off season she was able to obtain dual citizenship, hence she can play for Spain, but she's not Spanish. As to Betts, that doesn't apply to her at this point. I'd assume she could apply for dual citizenship in England, as we learned her Dad is English.

Lolol.. and WHAT does that have to do with Spain? I'm pretty sure that decision affects foreign babies born in the US, but not American babies born in Europe or Spain in this case. Spanish law operates under "just sanguinis" (decent) or the parents nationality. Spain is not a "birthplace citizenship" country, so she's not Spanish, unless her parents nation would not consider her a citizen, and even then they'd have to have filed in Spain for her to be recognized as a Spanish citizen. As long as the parents were US citizens even when living abroad she's still considered a US citizen. Her Mom is a US citizen, Not sure if her Dad is(being English), regardless Lauren could only have US or English citizenship without some extenuating circumstance, and not by birthright. Maybe take another crack at it.......
I was responding to your ignorant comment about citizenship in the US.
Lauren has dual US/English citizenship, so no she isn’t Spanish despite living there until she was 8 years old.
Your pulling Sh-- out of your A--. The only thing I commented on was she wasn't a Spanish citizen, because she was born in Spain. I understand that the US has "birthright citizenship" I never said they didn't. I said SPAIN doesn't so she 's not a Spainish citizen. Shes a citizen where her parents have citizenship. Where did I say different.
45 minute super painful pregame.“Mute” button on my remote getting pretty worn.
Can we stop trying to convince ourselves that Chelsea Gray is a better PG than CC?
My god people. Lol.
My god people. Lol.
Caitlin, Paige, Howard, Reese and Boston is the A-Team. Best line-up and it isn't close.
Probably a good coach. Not like W coaches who don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
1 point, 0-4 FGs. 0-2 3s, 1-2 FTs, 0 AST, 2 rebs, 1 TO....decent defense. Physical as hell...PGs have a battle every time down the floor.
