I wonder if that's the in thing now, to sit with Taylor Swift at a KC game. Does Brittany Mahomes and TS still sit together now the elections are over? I would figure she is still at the game supporting her husband.
I don't think it means much. I think it's just that their significant others are playing for the same team. It was unusual though, to have CC who is not in the entertainment industry to be side by side with Swift when the only thing in common seems to have been they have been stalked by creeps. They represented to me, that they are women and they wont be sidetracked by wierdos.

Men shouldn't play against women in sports.

The only reason I can think of a ratings drop was there was no Angel Reese. Who doesn't want to see a put back of a miss shot from five feet?

Indiana Fever played the Chicago Sky and they keep on talking about the Angel Reese/Caitlin Clark matchup like its the Ali/Frazier matchup. If you're a Fever fan, Indiana won by 40 but the matchup almost turned into a fight.

Caitlin Clark did shove Angel Reese. But it was kind of a flop. Draymond Green would say that's not a foul. I'll show you a real foul.

I like the way the two ladies handled the situation after the game saying it was all basketball. But the reporting in the article like many other articles I've seen reporting about sports is that Aliyah Boston and Angel Reese got offsetting techs, not Clark and Reese.

I don't see a Bird and Magic comparison to Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Caitlin Clark is more Stephen Curry. Angel Reese is more Dennis Rodam of bad as she wanna be.

Watched the Fever/Liberty game as it was on network and the game didn't disappoint. I always thought Brianna Stewart was the best in the WNBA before the next class came in but it was the whole Liberty team that contributed to a 2pt win. I think the Liberty was just too physical against the Fever.

The Caitlin Clark phenomenon is partly due to the interviews that she gives. No doubt Brittney Griner won a lot of gold medals for the US but her interview just recently has her swearing at the refs.

Brittney Griner is a man, baby!
Griner really brings back racism from another era. Maybe somebody might want to approach her with a lucrative coaching prospect in Russia. I don't think she's winning any kind of endorsements in the future.

They're going to miss her when she's gone for a couple of weeks or more. She can't be rushed back too early because the season doesn't have that many games. She'll be playing hurt the rest of the season.

Does Caitlin Clark has to mention a great WNBA player of the past in an interview? I don't think Tyrese Haliburton mentioned Oscar Robertson when he had a triple double.

Yesterday I watched the Valkeries beat the Aces and I notice by her posture that Kate Martin, ex teammate of CC, had a great posture and ability to keep her head in the game. A kind of maturity that seems to come with playing big games and always taking a positive spin in interviews.

Yep, this was predictable.
