Caitlin Clark Still in the News

Well, I don't think Caitlin has really done anything newsworthy; it's just that the META (aka Facebook) AI (aka Algorithms) knows by now that I like Caitlin, and they keep putting Caitlin pics in my feed, with some silly, marginal stories to go along with them.  The stories are all about the mean sports commentators, or sports writers who expressed negative opinions about Caitlin; or they'd show a cute pic of Lexie Hull (a fellow player in Caitlin's Indianapolis team, and a close friend), and quote something supportive that Lexie said some months ago.  Lexie is a sweetheart, and she always says nice things about Caitlin, so this is not news.  Same goes for most of the other women in The Fever. 

But here's the thing.  In every photo of Caitlin, they always show a happy girl, with a big smile!  Sometimes I'm in a bad mood, or just sulking because of my own personal problems.  But these pics of Caitlin Clark always cheer me up.  Always.

OK, it's Thursday, and I'm trying to cast to my TV from my phone.  By some coincidence, a big photo of Caitlin is on the screen, from YouTube!  She isn't a great beauty, but somehow she glows; I wish I could radiate that sort of image!

Well, it's Saturday.  I just saw a video clip of Caitlin from a game—damn, I didn't notice against what team—where she is frustrated by not making a certain basket.   They don't show how it fails; I guess it must've bounced out of the rim.  She was so frustrated; she walked around, cursing to herself, and then she stamped her foot!  I don't know what the significance of that was, but perhaps she was fined, or warned, or something, for that little lapse of sportsmanship.

But I felt so sympathetic!  I wanted to give her a hug!  I felt as though she was my child.  She's hardly a decade younger than me, but if I had a child, I'd want her to be just like that.  Maybe a little less driven!

She's so perfect in so many ways, I feel so anxious that all her nice qualities will be used up in a couple of years, and she'll end up just like all the other athletes, impatient and angry.
