In Topics: Genderbenders Race/Genetics Female Stupidity Bread and Circuses
Look, I don't care how many times the internet wants to throw some name from the latest in Infotainment at me, I'm not going to make any effort to care. I'd seen this name Caitlin Somebody a number of times over the last few weeks. It couldn't be Bruce Jenner, the guy from the Wheaties box, could it? Nah, but because of that dude alone, I think of Caitlin now as the name of a transsexual from, well, it sounds like some leafy neighborhood in Trans-sexual Transylvania.
Caitlin used to be a name that brought up a very cute girl in my mind, likely because the first Caitlin I ever saw was cute. (That's not to say I remember who it might have been. Anyway, the name wasn't around when I was young.) But, it's not Bruce Jenner the media has been talking about, and I finally did find out who this was, just today - see the image above. Ahhh, women's basketball. No wonder I'd never heard of her and didn't particularly want to.
Here's the Gateway Pundit article* that goes with the picture above: Lib Journalist Throws Race Tantrum Over Caitlin Clark’s Success, Furious About Coverage Compared to Black Players. Oh, now this may be interesting after all.
I didn't need to find out who that Lib journalist is and what kind of tantrum he or she** threw. That is some of the Gateway Pundit National Enquirer-style nonsense that I try to avoid - "Mr. ABC says this - social media ERUPTS!" Sorry, but that's not a story. The story is that White basketball player Caitlin Clarke has apparently garnered lots of attention and brought many new fans to enjoy(?) women's basketball. It's possible that women's basketball fandom could even reach outside of the lesbian market.
They aren't reaching your Peak Stupidity blogger though. If I cared the least about basketball enough to watch it on TV to begin with, I surely would want to see the very best players, who would be men. Back to the genderbender business for a bit, I notice that transgenders who think they are men aren't well represented in men's sports. That's odd.
That, in turn, brings up the point that this sport WOULD reach more men were it played by hot women wearing bikinis. That's probably the only way. (At least someone in the volleyball sector read the freaking memo!) If not bikinis, well, see, I can't tell if it's that this Caitlin Clarke doesn't look like a goon that has her attracting the attention. One can't tell everything from the picture above - the uniform purchasing department might want to go on a college campus to consider shorts that are more butt-cheek adjacent.
Here is Johnathan Jone's take:
If you guessed Hill’s indignation was in any way related to Clark’s skin pigmentation, then you’ve been paying attention to sports media.She IS overshadowing Black! athletes. It IS likely that she's "leading women's basketball to new heights" because she is White and prettier than what I think of as a women basketball player. Mr. Jones seems to be a "Democrats are the Real Racists" adherent. Now, this Hill character is given equal time, per the Stupidity Fairness Act:
Hill, a social justice warrior posing as a journalist and who currently writes for The Atlantic, ranted in an interview with Uproxx this past week that Clark is overshadowing black athletes.
Per Hill, Clark is leading women’s basketball to new heights because she is white and she is not solely responsible for elevating basketball for women.
Everything about this sport has been trending up for years now. It did not just start with Caitlin Clark, but they’re treating it like it did,” she said of sports media.Uhhh, no, there's no proof these new spectators enjoy the sport. Remember, hot women in bikinis! We know why they're coming out, to support a White woman in a world of blackety-black. Caitlin is the Great White Hope, as if anybody has hopes about women's basketball other than... in meeting a fellow carpet-m ... [Censored
She added, “And so it’s already creating a false narrative that is doing the public a disservice.”
The raving racist continued: [DRR!]
“If you look at WNBA ratings or women’s college basketball ratings, they have been exploding for at least the last seven to (10) years — or I would even say five to seven if you want a shorter window. And so, it’s been proven that people really enjoy the sport.
Race is THE STORY here. Anarcho-tyranny has put the average White person in a position of no power and not many options. One option he's still got is to spend his money per his politics. That's obviously what's been going on with this Caitlin Clarke story. As for these 2 clowns discussing the story, I suppose it shouldn't be unexpected in this age of near-Peak Stupidity for both of them to be wrong.
* This article is originally from one Johnathan Jones of The Western Journal.
** The name happens to start the first sentence of the article, but then it's "Far-left former ESPN host Jemele Hill". What is a Jemele, or is it NOT OK to ask that?

PS: I just noticed your previous comment, Mr. Anderson. Thank you for that description. I hadn't known that the lady Iowans(?) were playing the lady-thug Gamecocks.

PS: "Kinda like when movie marketers use the Cyrillic backward N when they want something to look sinisterly Russian. That letter is an ‘ I, “. shitheads!"
Ha, still that used to be pretty sinister looking, just because the SOVIET Russians were pretty sinister. Will people eventually realize that that all was 3 1/2 decades ago, going on 4? I guess the Neocons and the Regime want us to think as if it's 1984, not 2024.

PS Oh and Dieter, it’s Commander, not Captain Cody.
Also: I don’t know if you get any American ads on TV, but there’s a really annoying ad for Meineke mufflers with this caricature German guy who only takes his car (a Trabi, I think) to Meineke ; the catch phrase is “I only trust mein key to Meineke”; which is stupid, because the German term for key is „die Schlüssel” no?

As most of you know I’m a hockey guy, raised in frozen tundra.(Department of Redundancy Department) of the Upper Midwest.Furthermore I tend to agree with the legendary U of Minnesota hockey coach John Mariucci when he observed that watching basketball was like watching old men fish.
That said, however, I have watched a bunch of women’s hoops this spring. First one of our local D III schools (also the school where the Mrs is an Emeritus)went all the way to the finals this year, and additionally I hopped on the Caitlin Clark bandwagon. Comparing the two squads in the finals was interesting- if I were trying to make a case that blacks are a different species the contrast between the two teams was … well I’m not sure what. The Iowans were well groomed and pleasant looking- no tattoos, or not many, at least. The mostly black team from the Palmetto state? Tattoos, bizarre hair, hair extensions. The SC coaches (and the TV commentators, who were mostly black) were wearing get ups that looked sorta like what people in the fifties imagined people would wear in the space age, while the Iowans wore what was pretty much standard business attire. The less charitable part of me wonders about comparing life outcomes between the two squads 20 years down the road, not that I’ll be around to make the comparison.

PS: Darius' voice doesn't seem so country, Alarmist, but then, I may not know any of his solo songs. Charlie Pride sounds old-time country, and you would not know he's a black man from the few of his songs that I've listened to.

PS: Yep, Dieter, that was a nice choice, and back in the day when you had your Big Head Todd & the Monsters and that sort of creative names. They got big in the mid-1990s after their appearance on Dave Letterman. I've seen the once - pretty good show.
"Women play basketball? Why?" Seriously, nobody's stopping them, but, yes, why? Steve Sailer says that Dads with no boys often want to raise athletes anyway. I dunno...

Hootie and the Blowfish is one of those bandnames that are so strong that they - survive the band. Qicksilver Messenger Service is another one. Captain Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. Hardin & York. Fred Frith Lobotomy. The Fortright Diesel Bros. Tough Duck and the Fluffy Ducklins. After Bathin' at Baxters...uhh: Album, hehe.

Yeah, I thought about Charlie Pride too, but did you know that Darius Rucker, formerly of Hootie & The Blowfish, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and in 2009 was the first AA to win a Country Music Association award since Mr. Pride. So if they snubbed Bey-Bey, they must have had reasons.

PS: Good morning, Adam.
Hah, about Beyonce. She's said to be the 1st black country singer, but everyone forgot about Charlie Pride. We need some Charlie Pride music here... tomorrow, I guess.
The Stupidity Fairness Act is a measure that was passed by the Peak Stupidity Board of Directors. There had been complaints ...
