Caitlin Clark’s Instagram Account Flooded With Negative Comments After She Liked Taylor Swift’s Endorsement of Kamala Harris
A number of fans have seemingly turned against Caitlin Clark after the WNBA star liked Taylor Swift's Instagram post endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
They are making it clear: announce your support for Harris, get harassed.
You're viewing a single thread.
I know Elon Musk is, but are so many Republicans really this despicable? Or is it Russian bots trying to make it look like it?
Spot the difference...
One thing the article doesn't mention, is Caitlin Clark's place as a white woman in a sport dominated by black athletes, and the segment of her fans that she might eventually have to disown. For example, there's an under-current of racism in the drama between her and Angel Reese.
Sue Bird had similar experiences but a generation or so earlier. Of course, there was less social media when she was a young player, and a lot less focus of women's basketball. Even still, there was a lot of dog-whistle language about how, "she played the game the right way," or how, "she's an upstanding citizen." Of course, Bird eventually came out which made some of those fans leave on their own.

Like the badass she is, she's already more or less done so by calling them out for "using [her] for [their] culture war" ✊
The racism has been coming from Reese and her camp. It is frankly embarrassing how they have been behaving. There is no reason 17% of all flagrant fouls in the league should be directed at one player. Some of those hits look like lacrosse hits.
I'm not sure what flagrant fouls have to do with being racist?
They are targeting her and attempting to injure her because they do not want a white woman to be rookie of the year over a black woman.
Yes, they really are this despicable. Republicans who aren't despicable are not welcome in the party. You're either on the Trump train or you're dead to them, the Trump cultists have fully taken over the GOP.
That Hillary Clinton deplorables comment? Most truthful thing she's ever said in her life.
She just miscalculated how big that basket really was.
And then they leaned into hard. Like they all thought “Well the cat’s out of the bag”
Look at what they vote for. That's your answer.
Yes.
Yes
Republicans absolutely are this despicable.
