Some hard hitting politics right here ... Congress is demanding to know why Caitlin Clark is getting fouled so hard


I think every Congress member who signed this shit should be impeached immediately. WTF are we doing??

In the past couple of decades, members of both parties have found out that performative bullshit means they no longer need to make promises about things that actually matter like allocating tax payer revenue to fix crumbling infrastructure. The sexy headlines for the culture war that has been generated by grifters as a reliable revenue source is always more interesting than CSPAN debates on how to address the steel industry or whether investing in more nuclear power plants is the way to go.

No, let's talk about gamergate or the WNBA.

There are culture war things that absolutely are worth fighting for/against (and is insane that it's even a debate), like drag queen shows for kindergarteners, but who the fuck cares about Caitlin Clark and some pseudo race thing? If I really want to get into this, Clark's coach needs to be fired for not getting Clark's teammates to retaliate. But in the end, who the fuck cares?!

It's not like this is new.

Back in 2005 there were multiple Congressional hearings about steroids in baseball.

Yeah but this is the WNBA. And steroids are actually illegal. Congress asking a league to look into hard fouls and framing it as some kind of racial issue is absurd. Seriously, what are they trying to accomplish here?

It's not 'Congress'. It's a single letter from a very small (11 Representatives) breakaway group of Republicans.

(plus August Pfluger from Texas who 'wrote' the letter)

There is an election coming up in November and clearly these 11 think that this will move the needle with the constitutions in their districts.

I get why the Representatives from Indiana and Iowa are in on it (especially Iowa, where Clark played college ball)... I have no idea why 3 politicians from Tennessee or 2 from Texas think this will get anyone who is on the fence to vote for them. That's the weirdest part to me.

It's not like this is some unified front from Congress though (like steroids was), it's a few weirdos trying to score points with their districts.

It's absurd and the articles discussing this should publish that list of representatives every single time so everyone knows exactly which morons are wasting our money and time. Out of all the asinine 'hot button' social topics that these morons get involved in, this is maybe the dumbest one.

A lot of low level House reps are either morons or cater to morons. There's that one House rep that thought a US army base expansion on Guam would tip the island over.

No disagreement from me there.

I just get irked when people do the, "can you believe Congress is wasting time on this!?!!" fake outrage when it's really not something that Congress is getting involved with... it's 11 state reps (out of 435... that's under 3%). 1 one whom wrote a letter and 10 of who provided a signature to the already written letter. It's not like either party are wasting 'on the clock' time debating this in session. It was a stupid letter.

I'll add that 4 of them kind of make sense because they are in districts/states where Clark is a legend (Iowa and Indiana) and there is an election in the near future... they'll get a few headlines today/tomorrow (it'll be forgotten about over the weekend), and in 4 months a voter will be like, "oh yea, I remember that name and not because they raped an intern, they get my vote over this other person I know nothing about".

I will say that the other 7 really come across as wierdos. I don't get what they think the upside to being attached to this is. Maybe it's because Texas recently had the track meet murder and racial tensions are still somewhat high? Tennessee though, what's the draw there to where multiple reps from that state are jumping on board? I honestly don't know.


And after saying all of this... of course it's ridiculous that anyone, member of Congress or not, would take any amount of time out of their day to write a letter to the WNBA in the first place. It's the freaking WNBA... good grief.
