If everything about Caitlin Clark is the same but she also looks like Anna Kournikova is she hated on by her peers more, less, or the same amount?

This is interesting. I would say it’s less about their attractiveness and more about how their appearance represents aspirational masculinity amongst nba fans. AI would not have been as loved if it wasn’t for the cornrows, jewelry, and baggy clothes because those things made people shit even myself want to be like him. With Kobe it was the single-mindedness and the intensity that was visible in his appearance. I think u are seeing currently with KAT the opposite affect. He’s a pretty regular looking guy but his voice and mannerisms make people underrate how good he is because he reminds us of a guy who gets bullied.
