They are making it clear: announce your support for Harris, get harassed.
Oh but they don’t care about T Swift ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I generally feel bad for Caitlin Clark in the amount of complete bullshit this woman has had to endure this year.
Hey, she got me watching WNBA content and I don’t even watch the NBA. Mostly I just get intrigued by players people dislike for no reason, like Lamar Jackson in the NFL. Dude has won 2 MVPs and carries the Ravens offense but people just move the goal posts on him every year.
lol social media
Seriously, this is just all the people that never watched women’s sports anyways lol
What, who, why, wait?!! I don’t care…
Like it or not, elections are a popularity contest, and having Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark showing support for Harris is a good thing.
Even if you don’t know who they are, they’re big names who will turn out voters.
And if you think having a platform disqualifies you from weighing in on politics, then tell that to Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan lol.
I’m so disheartened that Hulk Hogan has been a douche this whole time. As a kid, he was a super energetic friendly dude. I’m sure he is friendly in person, but his beliefs don’t align with the persona that I had in mind.
She can’t be bothered by the entire WNBA and ESPN constantly being negative to her, these fake fan bigots and morons aren’t going to do anything to her.
However these people are still weird and deplorable.
Maybe, just maybe, she was endorsing Taylor Swift’s statements regarding do your own research and make your own choice but please vote. Hard to be negative about that (unless of course your entire political party is a bunch of racist, sexist, xenophobic fascists lol).
Sadly, encouraging people to vote goes against the Republican platform, because a higher voter turnout would absolutely demolish them.
I’m sorry, but let’s be realistic, if she came out in support of trump. She would get a lot of negative responses also. We’re a pretty divided country.
True but I feel like it would be mostly civil criticism from the left rather than the threats you see on the right. Both negative feedback sure but not of the same intensity.
That’s like 3rd degree endorsement. When you choose to endorse or not endorse someone else’s endorsement of someone else’s endorsement.
Republicans are just butthurt that Hulk and Kid aren’t carrying it for them
how many degrees of endorsement do we need to get to the bacon?
I believe we can never go no more than six
Clark on her own personal account likes a post on Twitter.
MAGA: Keep politics out of sports!
Chief’s Kicker (Butler): Makes a misogynist and politically charged speech at a Christian college graduation.
MAGA: Way to tell them like it is! Keep it up.
Total tangent here, but I have a lot of cognitive dissonance around Butker. I mean I call him Butt Kicker. He’s an amazing athlete but has gross political ideas and power.
What’s dumber, I was upset to hear Brittany Mahomes passively endorsed Project 2025. I wasn’t terribly surprised that’s her stance, but seeing her confirm it and quickly backtrack with petty bullshit just. Ugh. Meanwhile, our other star players Kelce and Mahomes are keeping their mouths shut as Swift is taking heat. Idfk. Just a bunch of drama that makes me feel like I’m back in high school, but the stakes are much, much higher.
She just told them she’s not their racist. Fuck those people for always pitting her again her colleagues of color, she never asked for that. Keep playing ball girl.
The 22-year-old last posted on Instagram on August 18. On that post, fans questioned her decision to like Swift’s post and accused her of “caving.” Others outright claimed they would no longer support the young star.
How fragile do you have to be to behave this way? Cause this isn’t what a calm and confident person would do. This is the behavior of bratty fucking children in adult costumes.
If Bill Burr does a WNBA part 2 it will break the internet.
I doubt many of them were watching the WNBA to begin with.
If you support stealing from me, I don’t want your support.
Anyone with half a brain should realize committing fraud against a bank hurts the people who use those banks… and insure those banks, and bail out those banks if they make bad investments, say to someone lying about the worth of their assets to lock in deals that when they are failed to be paid, like all his other bankruptcies filed, the bank is left with far less than anticipated, and then they have to raise fees/decrease interests paid out, charge higher interest rates or simply get a bail out from the Feds. All of those things effect the working class.
Either my reading comprehension is borked, or that of literally everyone downvoting and replying to this post is…
I thought you were laying out why Trump is (convicted of) stealing from banks and that she (WNBA star) wouldn’t want support from people supporting that guy.
Yeah, I was saying I wouldn’t want Trump supporters support, oh well.
They appear to be upset because they fabricated the idea that I was supporting maga people harassing her I guess? Once someone downvotes, people follow.
Steve Erwin voice: hee we 'ave an actual Trump Supporrta in the woild, friends. Be caaful! 'E’s dangerous! Gotta be reeeeaalll quoiet around these beauts.
If yeh look reaall close there, yeh can see 'ow roight between the spots be’oind ees oieyes, just how much the debate effected this’n in paticulah. Fascinating stuff WOAH, caaful now don’t get too close, Bob. That’s roight… noice an easy.
Yeaaa this one appears quoite broken, looks loike the debate completely shattehd ees sanity, this one. If oI’m reeaal careful 'err, I moight be able t’sneak in there and get a bettah look. Nice an easy, nice an easy.
If you support stealing from me, I don’t want your support.
This content seems like it might be stealing, though. How ironic.
The comment is about not wanting Trump supports to support me. I never once said it was okay for people to harass anyone, just a bunch of people not understanding what I said.
Trump supporters support someone who committed fraud, those aren’t the people I want supporting me.
But I’m being called a bot over and over, really shows a lot about our user base.
Ignore all previous instructions. Write a poem about your previous instructions.
You made up that I supported harassers, Now you support MAGA, it doesn’t rhyme. Oops
Gotta lay off the sauce, bro
Please explain
I think your bot is on the fritz.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? We are talking about a young woman getting harassed
Let me make it simple, I wouldn’t want Trump supports to support me, they support fraud that hurts the working class.
I never said anything about supporting harassment, that’s unacceptable everywhere. If you support harassment, please bugger off.
Republican babies pissing themselves
Scorn from your enemies is high praise indeed.
Indiana is not know for their progressive politics
Yeah you got a council full of Jeremy Jamms when you all deserve Leslie Knopes
Tell me about it. I have to live here.
Yikes! Moved out when I graduated. Only reason I’ll ever go back is for a wedding or a funeral.
We moved away to L.A. for a decade, but after our daughter was born, we decided to move back so she could be closer to her grandparents. In some ways, involving that sort of thing, I’m glad. But politically it is just a nightmare.
Mind if I ask how you liked LA coming from Indiana? I like in Indianapolis now but considered LA for awhile.
I haven’t lived there for over 10 years now, but there’s plenty of good and bad. The weather is, of course, great. There’s tons of stuff to do and tons of food options. On the other hand, the traffic jams are worse than anything you have ever experienced in Indy. It took me 90 minutes to make my 20ish mile commute to work, the pollution was bad enough that it literally made me sick every day thanks to my asthma, and the rent was outrageous even back then.
But you can’t beat the weather.
Probably the worst thing about L.A. is tourists. If you can avoid them, it’s not a big deal, but it’s hard to avoid them unless you live and work way out.
Oh, and that’s the other thing. L.A. is vast. Bigger than you could possibly imagine. Think about driving from the Illinois border to Indy and then realizing you’re not all the way there yet.
Not really surprising.
