She is so awesome.

I dont get the post or the title.

Is this the same girl who launched that awesome bomb to her dad in the stands during a T-shirt toss, because that was impressive!

[Doctor Phibes]

Apparently this is women's basketball.

Two subjects that I know even less about than normal.

The greatest mammalian athlete has a man's chin. You can see it better in full screen.

She also has relatively masculine shoulders, true, and good point.

555 I think at the "end of the day", she is a very good player. Doesnt matter the size of her chin or shoulders.

I think the concern is that it has been shown that women are not as proficient as engaging in certain pointless activities as men, and this has led to them being paid less for doing so.

I for one would be more than happy for all sports-people to be paid the same, regardless of gender. I would suggest reducing male salaries accordingly.

I knew I’d find this. Not Caitlin Clark. Kelsey Plum:

She throws like a girl

Just kidding - that's amazing.

[Mik]

That was one hell of a throw!

[Renauda]

I really do not understand why Caitlin Clark’s name or persona shows up so often on this forum. I have the distinct impression over the past few weeks that she is not at all liked here, least of all by the initiator of this thread, although no one comes right out and says so.

She’s an athlete and apparently a very good one. So what?

I also agree with Phibes, male professional athletes in many sports are paid too much. Personally, I am fed up with subsidizing our local billionaire NHL team owner(s) and the millionaire players on his team by providing them arenas built by tax dollars to host games only the wealthy can afford to buy seats.

[Horace]

I like her.

[Copper]

That throw almost looked real.

[LuFins Dad]

I find Caitlin to be an extremely accomplished athlete, and think it’s outstanding, what she’s accomplished. I also find it very satisfying to remind @Jolly yhat she passed Pete’s record.

I am sure you do.

You just have to accept the possibility that one can like her while making fun of those who go overboard about her relative athletic abilities. I think she's compelling, and I will be interested to follow her WNBA career.

[Renauda]

Okay, but I won’t go as far as following her career. But I do agree the fawning hype over her playing is way over the top and mockery is deserved.

I find basketball not at all appealing.
