it's fukked up
now that the WNBA is seeing more popularity, things like that weirdo awkwardly hitting on caitlin clark at the presser will happen more. there will be tons more harassments online if the takes from the WNBA draft are any indication
Basically, people are goofy as fukk
I mean people sexualizing adult entertainers is part of the game. Take the discourse around Jalen Hurts from female fans.
I bet we can find thousands of tweets sexualizing male athletes by women, but for sports there are less women fans than men fans. But female interviewers definitely hit on male athletes for instance.
If women want to define the dominant narratives of the womens basketball then they simply need to be the dominant demographic of womens basketball fans
Note I am not defending the creepy shyt or this creepy tweet in particular. Just that if you are on tv your looks will be evaluated and commented on.
