I guess there are some fools who want to ignore reality
not surprising who one of them is
"Victim" is the first thing I thought of when I read your post. It's what you "they called a penalty against us so they're biased" whiners do elsewhere. LCD at its finest. Funny how those who complained about others using that "card" now have it front and center of their arsenal.
To address the point, absolutely people are jealous of Clark and the hype she got. The league's been in existence for how long, and now here comes this college kid to be the "savior?" Of course other professionals are going to be miffed at that the same way I'm sure some feel about Caleb Downs as some savior here. Even fans have joined in the snark on that.
Now if Clark came in and was best player in the league, hey no one can speak against her. But she hasn't been completely. This A'ja Wilson has her by more than 4 points per game and has led the league 3 years running now, yet no one knows her. An underrated repeat league scoring champion is just unusual.
As for race, sure it has something to do with it as well. Ever hear of White Savior Complex? Doubtful but look it up and if you've been subjected to it, then you know why there could be animosity to a much heralded player who's not tops in your league yet but also seen as the savior and white. But you clearly haven't so you can dismiss it. If it hasn't been your experience then what can you add to the conversation except what's convenient for you? That's what we call a willful one-sided discussion but this is CowboysZone so that never stopped anyone. Lol.
And as for the straight thing, please. Clark is the first straight player in that league ever? You "victim" me once, shame on you. You "victim" me twice, it's who you are. I just re-wrote that proverb.
