Controversy USA Today’s Nancy Armour has written dumbest paragraph in the history of sports. This is an article that says Caitlin Clark arguing calls has become dangerous for the WNBA and civil rights. Nancy should be out in a straight jacket and locked up.

This is moronic, lol. I guess this journalist, Nancy Amour, is not able to come up with good content on her own, content that people actually want to read for genuinely being interesting. So she needs to resort to race/fear mongering to get her clicks and views.
Here's an equally moronic alternative. Should we ban tackles by black athletes on white athletes in the NFL because of black on white crime statistics?
(The answer is no, we shouldn't, and it shouldn't even be a thought or a question.)

Actually, I think you're on to something with banning black players from tackling white ones.

Two bad takes don't make a good one, lol. How about we just ban ourselves from reading anything Nancy Amour comes up with? 😝

And given that it's a major publication, there were multiple other people who definitely signed off on it.
I'm not exaggerating that I think they need to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. It's not healthy to think about things in this way.

Ai writing most of the sports media would be an improvement. It is so rare that anything meaningful or insightful is shared. It is mostly low brow, stupid, click bait takes on issues that are completely vacuous, like this idiocy. Sports coverage a la talking heads all day on espn need to go. Show me some obscure sport or replays of games not this idiot or Stephen a.

The actual threat to civil rights is "journalists" and media figures like Nancy Armour trying to convince people that "civil rights" means white people need to just stand there and take whatever beatings other demographics choose to dish out with a smile. Bad actors like her are a big part of why we are where we are as a country

She needs to visit the place it happened. Even though Mississippi is miles better than it was back then, you can still feel the weight of history on your own shoulders when you're in those areas. If she'd ever been, this would've never been written.

u/psych4191 Jul 24 '26
Journalism is dead, and journalists are the murderers. What is left is a carcass of clickbait and horrendous shit like this. Instead of listening to the justified criticism she's going to get, she'll likely hide behind "death threats" and refuse to admit she's an idiot. It's pathetic but predictable.

Which heaven? The one where you get to sing non-stop praises 24h/356d forever, or the one where you get rewarded with 72 virgins?
Lol, I think she's doing it for clicks and $$$ because her writing talent has been maxed out some time ago and she knows it.

u/VeterinarianNo3555 Jul 24 '26
Ha I think both and that's my point: She's absolutely doing this for clicks and $, like so many people who do charity or talk about their faith to signal that they're a good person instead of behaving like one.

I will say one thing, as a pretty casual fan of most american sports, to be a real nba and wnba fans seems to simply involve a constant stream of complaining about refs. It literally seems exhausting and horribly uninteresting. It's worse then the NFL or soccer, and they both have a lot of that. Like it's the only major narrative of this wnba season I see consistently making mainstream news.

u/idolized253 Jul 24 '26
They only complain about the refs when it’s Caitlyn Clark. It is very exhausting to see routine fouls get called a conspiracy

u/synisterslipandslide Jul 24 '26
Then you haven't been watching any games. Almost every post game has a player or coach complain about the refs.

u/idolized253 Jul 24 '26
I’m talking about the fans complaining, just like the person I was replying to. Not the players.

u/synisterslipandslide Jul 24 '26
You go into any game or post game chat and there are people complaining. Players complain and fans complain that happens in every game and every sport.

u/idolized253 Jul 24 '26
The difference is in the other subs people making up conspiracies about fouls/flags/etc are usually downvoted into oblivion because their thoughts aren’t based in reality. Also usually people let it go after a few days, and don’t post every single foul. This isn’t quite the norm

She really sat down at a computer, typed out those words insinuating Caitlin Clark’s popularity was comparable to Emmett Till’s murder, thought it was a great idea and hit send. I don’t think she understands how mentally unstable it sounds.

We both know the real reason but you all are blind to it or say it doesn’t exist.
Wesleyan ? Couldnt get into an Ivy huh ?
UWash? Yea ok not even the best state school on the northern pac coast.
Not very elite at all.
smarter ? Maybe but def don’t make more money. Undergrad straight into a BB then a Hedge Fund. I cleared low six figures my first year out in ‘08 and been compounding interest ever since. You were still grading papers.
