I'm am not just talking about last night latest incident.

I slso want to stress that SOME African American WNBA players and fans resent that the white girl is being held up as a superstar. Clark IS an amazng talent and the resentment is unwarranted and unfair.

It's a little bit like Jackie Robinson in reverse: some players are trying to drive her out of the league with blantant intimidation.
