It's ridiculous. I was not a big fan of CC until I saw how the WNBA players treated her. Now I pull for her to make tons of money and would like nothing more than to see the league go out of business. Those players are full of hate and jealousy.
Her college coach pretty much taught her i would guess!!
She’s getting more and more mouthy as her career advances. I’ve lost my respect for her during the past year. She’s easily a millionaire but continues to push racist and inequity statements.
Yeah, I don’t care for her antics at all. Her and Staley annoy me.
Pure bullies but she’s tough as nails. Kudos to her for slapping the bs aside and taking em to school. Take whats yours CC. They would’ve folded long ago if roles were reversed
Absolutely! I wish she would go to the European League. She would make more money, expenses paid, housing and taxes taken care of.
A'ja got all bent out of shape when Nike gave CC her own shoe deal. CC is way more famous than she is. They made it somewhat of a racial thing and Nike caved and gave A'ja a shoe deal.
CC’s shoe outsells AW’s shoe 50 to 1. I’m looking to find a pair for my niece for Christmas but it takes six months — there is a tremendous back-order for them. You can get a pair of AW’s shoe by overnight delivery.
Not many outside of Columbia, SC and Las Vegas know who A'ja is. She's done great things for Carolina though and she's been very successful in the WNBA.
What shoe?
Athlon Sports on 11/13/24 regarding Clark's shoe, there has been "no news of the shoe's release."
Wilson's shoe is set to be released next year.
What were the comments from Wilson?
The only thing I've seen (and I haven't looked hard) is that she said "delay is not denial" because some of her teammates were complaining that she didn't have one.
Dave is about to bust to offer is rebuttal. I think he might spontaneously combust.
Not at all.
I was just trying to find these comments. Was simply asking for someone to post them. Seems reasonable.
I get not liking comments. It's a bit stranger to me to get mad at comments that someone can't point to.
Did find the comment above about looking for shoes for this Christmas that aren't coming out this year and no release date for next year has been announced. That's got to be one heck of a search.
It is reasonable. Like asking for the "proof" you had that several Fox News hosts said Obama "imported Ebola."
Yes, and I posted that Bill.
But, I prefer to stick to 2024. These comments from Wilson seem to be hard to find- sort of like trying to purchase Clark's shoe that isn't out.
Whining endlessly about unknown comments is a wild flex.
Probably because Aja used the “black race card” and got her way. CC, had to use her “white privilege” and wait. Clark had to Rosa Parks that shit and move to the back of the bus………..
Lying, as usual. Indeed, you even claimed you had videos of it. Strangely enough, no one was ever able to locate said videos. I mean, you might as well just admit you lied, because we all know you did. Even uscwatson isn't that gullible.
It must really stink to whine that much about a basketball player talking about her opinion.
If these black women could only learn to follow your lead on everything... LOL
I've seen this. This is old.
I was under the impression that there was something new to cause this topic to be posted. My mistake.
I'll let you all continue to whine about her. Good luck.
Of course he doesn’t! He’s extreme left, he probably thinks black people can’t be racist.

I've read two accounts of it. One was talking about all the twitter (x) comments that it generated in over the top anger.
Another that tried to offer some nuance about it- also mentioning that her perspective is one from someone that has been subjected to racist taunts by people on social media.
Her teammate, who knows her, didn't take it as an insult. I thought that was interesting.
I also couple that the fact that the most angry people about such things are often white- middle age (and older) men. They have a 100% right to their opinion but I also acknowledge that maybe their experience isn't one that always relates well to a high profile 20 something year old black basketball player (or even a high profile white basketball player).
My brother in law is black. My white sister in law once told me that when they first started dating, he eventually frustrated her because when they could go out to eat and would get poor service at a restaurant (waitress not coming over to their table often, etc), he was quick to blame it on the service staff not liking the fact he was black and out eating with a white woman.
She told me and my wife that she decided to talk to him about it and explained that, from her perspective, it had nothing to do with race at all- that it was just poor service and that she had experienced the same thing when she was out with her own parents many times like anyone else, or out with other guys she had dated who were white. He accepted that and admitted he was likely too too sensitve about the issue.
However, she later learned that one of the reasons he was like that is he had been called some awful names by a small number of people and it has made him angry and he was sensitive to it - and overly sensitive to it most of the time. That helped me see there might be a reason for such reactions.
So, that's a no. Nothing wrong with saying that white players are "good" but get pushed "over the top" because of their white privilege. Because some random person on twitter said something racist.
And how is your black brother inlaw married to your white sister inlaw? Wouldn't your black brother inlaw be married to your white sister?
I didn't hear her say "white players are good but get pushed over the top by...."
My wife's sister is my sister in law. I consider her husband my brother in law.
"KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In America, people commonly refer to their wife’s sister’s husband as their “brother-in-law.”
- A more specific phrase for the husband of your wife’s sister is “my wife’s brother-in-law.”
A brother-in-law (plural brothers-in-law) is the brother of one's spouse, the husband of one's sibling, the husband of one's spouse's sibling [relevant in the first case you mention], or the brother of one's sibling's spouse.
You didn't hear that because you are just ignoring it.
What type of "privilege" did you think she was referring to that puts players like Paige Bueckers and Kesley Plum "over the top"?
What privilege would that be anyway? She had a nicer goal to practice free throws as a kid. You an either ball or not. Color doesn't matter. What a stupid thing for her to say. Wish Kelsey woulda keen like, "What privilege?"
I didn't extrapolate her comments to every white player. She didn't say that, and I didn't think it was fair to assume such a thing.
Again, and for the last time, her teammate appreciated what she was trying to say and said so. I think there is an intent on the board for some to either not be able to understand, or to not want to try.
"When the LV Aces star A’ja Wilson was six years old, she encountered a major turning point in her life.
Wilson had transferred from the Hopkins School to Heathwood Hall in South Carolina, which was known to be predominantly white. Nonetheless, Wilson soon found herself to be a part of the group. However, when the girls decided to have a sleepover in one of her friend’s homes, A'ja was told that she would have to sleep outside the house due to her friend’s father’s ideas about race mixing. This incident changed how Wilson looked at the world and the then-introvert A’ja realized she might be treated differently no matter what she did."
