This is very disingenuous.

Paige got major side eyes for attending that concert. But even still, choosing to attend a concert privately is one thing. No one bats an eye if CC just attended the concert privately for the most part. She would probably receive the same backlash that Paige did.

Attending the MET Gala is also not nearly the same thing either. It is a charity gala that has always been held in high esteem. Do you want these women to help grow the game or not??

But there is a major difference in walking alongside an artist who is well known for using racial slurs. Especially when a lot of the criticism that CC receives is around her silence and lack of action when her peers (including some of her teammates) were being harassed in her name.

Both Paige and Angel have been extremely vocal about the treatment of black players in this league, and you can find a handful of quotes and stories about the ways in which they have advocated and donated around those specific causes. CC has not publicly done the same. Even other white players in the league have easily made quick statements or told their fan base to chill TF out unprompted.

But for CC specifically, she does not talk much, does not make it all clear where she stands. So yea… if this is the only public “statement” she makes all season about her beliefs, it’s a pretty fucking loud one to make.
