I'm an 83 year-old white guy from WV, veteran of the Civil Rights movement in Chicago and Cairo, IL, second marriage to a non-religious woman of Jewish heritage whose daughter who grew up in NY, writes for The Contrarian. I watched Caitlan's ascendancy, knew Angel less well simply because sports is not a big thing for me, but was thrilled at the ascendancy of women, Black and White, in this sport. The women's games I've watched are just as thrilling as those of the male league (except, of course, back when I loved in Chicago watching Michael Jordan -- on TV, I didn't have the bread for seats). And I recognize and abhor the the racism in some of the fan base. It is an evil force we all must fight vigorously.
I stopped watching the NBA playoffs the minute Steph went down. So it’s a two way street lest anyone say that Caitlin is the only player that commands that kind of attention. And I agree, just like Steph didn’t make the NBA successful, Caitlin joined a league that already was successful & her fans are now more engaged.
The W is terrific. It's a joy to watch the games and especially the effect the players have upon their young fans. We certainly support the league but we go to watch them play!
