That coaching staff is grossly underpaid compared to the perpetual mediocrity and racism of the men's basketball, football team, and strength coaches.

people are angry at Caitlin Clark?

I was just on Twitter (yeah, I know, it's a cesspool, but it's amusing at times) and there are all these people acting like she did something wrong? Is it just misogyny or is there something I don't know about her?

Is it just that she's a confident young woman?

I am not a sports person...my kids are band and drama kids.

just people screaming about her for no reason I could see except that she apparently plays better than some of the men.

Actually, peeking back, better than most of the men (edit)

you might enjoy this story:

1.5 seconds left against Indiana and Indiana has a 1 point lead. Mrs. Lib says "what's your assessment?"
I said Indiana has the lead but we have Caitlin."

You know how it ended - Caitlin for the win!

In this country we love to build people up just to tear them down. This young woman is without a doubt the best college basketball player in the country and a lot of people, especially SEC people just can't deal with it.
