How do you identify hatred? When one party acts against its interests out of pure loathing of the other.

The WNBA is celebrating 30 years of doing something. Making money is definitely not part of that something. It started out losing $10 million a year but has since raised its annual losses to $40 million over the past few seasons. The NBA owns 40 percent of the league, apparently as a penance for the flopping of LeBron and other stars. The women’s league put out a poster of “stars” for 30 years of sports mediocrity. Caitlin Clark, the one player who gets fans into the stands, was left off of that poster, while contemporaries from her draft were pictured. She has also been left on the floor of numerous basketball courts as many of her competitors, often black players, attack her and other white stars. Since Clark joined the league, average attendance has doubled to 11,000 per game. Some teams had to book larger stadiums when she and her Indiana Fever were in town. Some have suggested that Clark should quit the WNBA and either go play in Europe, where they let white players stand upright, or even start her own league. As is usual today, she’ll do nothing and consider her beatings as a form of atonement for “white privilege”. One can often see those who push her around smiling and giving high fives after treating Clark like a piñata.

The ladies of the WNBA remind me a great deal of the Palestinians. There was a time not that long ago when thousands of Palestinian workers used to stream into Israel daily from Gaza and other areas in order to work in good-paying jobs. The building and agriculture sectors were completely dependent on their warm bodies. The Palestinians, and not just Hamas, repaid the opportunities for work by murdering over 1,000 Jews in a single day. Now they can sit at home and talk about how wonderful things used to be. Just like the lady ball........
