There is a little craziness happening in Iowa and with University of Iowa basketball star, Caitlin Clark. She just set the NCAA all-time women’s scoring record and can make even more history this season by passing Hall of Famer Pete Maravich of LSU for the all-time NCAA scoring record set in 1970. With two games remaining in the season, Miss Clark averaging ~30 points a game and just needs 51 points to break Pistol Pete’s record that he set during his three seasons in Baton Rouge.
But the leftist media’s treatment of Caitlin Clark shows just how corrupt the compromised media really is.

She will not be breaking Pistol Pete’s record because men’s and women’s basketball are not the same sport. Put her on one of Pete’s teams and see how many points she scores.

Couple of things. Forget mens and womens game .... when Pistol Pete played, there was no three-point basket. I remember enough about Pistol Pete that his normal shot was from about Row 7 of the stands.
Miss Clark is a pretty decent basketball player. Yeah, probably not NBA Mens material, but I wouldn't want to take her on in a game of H O R S E on the court. She'd have spelled "Secretariat" while I'm still working on the H.

ALL the systemic racism today is against white folks. ALL of it.
Black privilege is a real thing.
White privilege does not exist.

The enemedia proving beyond a doubt they're despicable, commie racists wholly owned by the devil worshipping demonrat party. The malevolence of the enemedia toward Caitlin Clark is repeated over and over on any subject one can think of. The most annoying part about all this is trying to convince otherwise good people to ween themselves from these legacy media outlets. Good luck.

#2 and there was no shot clock

Blacks are 12-13% of our population. How 'bout if we limit their percentage in the NBA to their percentage in the population? Wouldn't that be equity? You know, the E in DEI.

The premise that she's going to break Pistol Pete's all-time scoring record is illogical. In addition to what #2 said, Maravich was ineligible to play as a freshman and played in only 83 collegiate games - Caitlin is already at 100. A better comparison would be career points per game: 44.2 vs. 27.2 (think about that - 44 points per game, every game!).
As for the article, not unexpected. A white athlete dominating college hoops is anathemic to the discussion. If Caitlin is straight (I don't know, don't care), she's in for a rough ride in the WNBA.

Ms. Clark is in great danger. A gratuitous foul executed by a third rate player will break one of Ms. Clark's knees and finish her career before she achieved her record.
That's the way this world works now.

Re #6....yeah, EQUITY means equal results.....so 12% of ALL sports teams can be black folks.
THAT is equity.....they been screaming about it. Do it for real and they'll REALLY scream.

All Caitlin Clark can do is be the best player of her era. She completed a triple double last night, 24 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. Clark is the biggest star in sports.

I remember watching the NBA game where Pete scored over 70 points.
He was dropping them in - - one shot after another - - from 4-point range - - if that had existed. If there were 3-point shots then - - Pete would have come very close to Wilt's 100 point game.
That's not to take anything away from Caitlin - - she's AMAZING!

Caitlin Clark is the GOAT! Anyone who has ever played the game knows it! The haters are keyboard warriors who have zero experience with the subtleties of the game! Stop sniping and enjoy the show! Gawd!

What the article didn't mention is that her sin is not only that she's White, she's straight. A big no-no in women's basketball.

She's Catholic, she's straight, she has a boyfriend and she's white. She also plays a killer game of basketball. This is only a problem with the left, the true racists and misogynists in this equation!!

When Pete Maravich played college basketball, there was no three-point shot. Go back and view some of Maravich's shooting. How many of those shots would be three-point shots today. So, to compare these two players is like comparing players in two different sports. The level of competition and talent in men's basketball compared to women's basketball is like comparing little league baseball to the pros. It's not even close.

The ESPN website has been talking her up all season, not sure where all this ignored by the leftist media is coming from. The 4 letter network dominates sports and she’s their darling - and they’re as leftist as anything in media.

Oh for Heaven’s sake, “the media” has not dissed Caitlin Clark. She is a once-in-a-generation or once-in-a-lifetime talent. (Anyone who can average 20+ points and double digit assists per game is beyond amazing and is a fan’s or a coach’s dream come true). If you think the media, who put almost all of Iowa’s games on TV, or that the producers or the announcers are biased against her, you need to take stock and get that major chip off your shoulder — IMO, you sound like an ignorant jerk.

Let's tell the WHOLE STORY about Pistol Pete's record that means it will NEVER be broken because: 1) Pistol Pete did not even play his ffirst year but had only THREE YEARS to accumulate points; 2) there was no Three-Point Line, and; 3) There was no shot clock, meaning opponents could freeze the ball to run out time; and if you'll excuse a little personal note, I was in the gymnasium in Aliquippa High School the morning our just-hired PhysEd teacher, Press Maravich, showed up for our first class with a wee tyke in tow, whom he proceeded to show how to dribble and shoot for the rest of the class while we students ran laps, so I believe myself privileged to have witnessed the very first appearance on a basketball court of the legend known as Pistol Pete Maravich. God, he was so cute!
