Please Dont Take This The Wrong Way - Tumblr Posts
it’s weird to me when people make the argument of “respect is earned” in prn arguments because, I mean idk, aren’t you supposed to treat people like people??
Also I love bo katan so much but like, not even a week ago din rolls up and is like "you're not a real mandalorian" and she goes "you know what? I'll cut you some slack you're a part of a cult" but then the MINUTE boba fett steps into that cantina she's like "you're a fuckin disgrace" ma'am I love you but wtf
One thing about Caitlin Clark that I’m appreciative of is how adamant she is about Maya Moore being her idol and favorite basketball player growing up. Could have been Lebron, Steph, Kobe, or whoever but it was always Maya for her.
That might not seem like a big deal, but oftentimes when we gain things we lose appreciation for those who came before us who struggled so we could have what we have right now. Caitlin came into the WNBA with more hype and recognition that anyone ever, and she’s giving her flowers to Moore — who is maybe the greatest of all-time but never got what she fully deserved. I bet a lot of new fans who came to the WNBA for Caitlin learned a lot about Moore and paid respect to her legacy because of their connection.
I’m sure this wasn’t intentional, but it was also a big f-you to those racists who latch onto Caitlin to downplay the rest of the WNBA, given that her idol is a black woman who helped pave the way for the leagues growth
Obviously Moore has and should be getting her flowers for being the GOAT regardless of Caitlin’s opinions, but I just think it’s really nice. It’s so important for female athletes to continue being inspirations for other female athletes, given how so many young women right now don’t have female role models
