Full Court Press only wanted to follow CC and she insisted the documentary cover a few other players (Kiki Rice and Kamilla Cardoso). Not surprised at all.
Shame?!?! They seem to have no shame!!! But the worst part isn't the players for me. Its how the Commissioner is & how she treats new fans & more importantly how she treats Caitlin Clark & seemingly won't do anything about the corrupt officiating!!!
Caitlin Clark is phenomenal on and off the court. It’s a real shame that many in and around the league have directly and indirectly treated her so poorly. I have grown to love most of her teammates. I’ve grown to love few other players. I’ve tried… but then they comment or pile on in a way that exposes their hearts and character. I love Arike. I love Satou. I’ve even grown to love Tarausi, whose beginning of the season snark was about basketball and being a rookie and was completely in line w/ her toughie attitude. At least it wasn’t BS and she came to respect what CC was doing on the court. Game recognizes game. So good on Diana! But unlike DT too many made and are making unfair comments and trying to hold Clark responsible for the crazy of of a few. It’s ridiculous! I’ll return in May to support Clark and the Fever. I pray Indiana keeps the thing the thing. I hope as Erica Wheeler said they keep those trying to enter the locker room out! And I pray that the players in this league can grow up and focus on the sport instead of lunatics, trolls, bots and sociocultural outrage. Critiquing Angel doesn’t make me a racist and if a black person likes Caitlin it isn’t a betrayal of black players or people. My goodness, it’s basketball!
@@stevehardwick7285 yes! She got treated terribly by her old coach & management then by the fans who booed her. It’s insane! All she wanted was what her contract stated and to be treated fairly as a woman in a women’s league. It’s so crazy town!
How about referring to Reese as "She looks like Sid from Ice Ages sister from the Ghetto." I've seen that comment on different videos on TH-cam and some wven worse.
@@TheMeefive Those are awful things to say to or about anyone! I whole heartedly condemn direct, indirect, and/or insinuated racist remarks and behaviors! There is no place for it and I wish I could wave a wand and make it stop forever more. What I was pointing out in this and other comments I’ve made is that overwhelmingly Clark fans and Fever fans are basketball fans not racist Aholes. That doesn’t mean there aren’t racist Aholes nor does it mean that the overwhelming majority think that it’s in any way acceptable to say such things or behave in such ways. I also think it’s entirely unfair for so many in and around the W to try and hold Caitlin or the Fever responsible for the comments or behaviors of a handful of terrible people, trolls and bots. I find the behavior, statements, and comments made by multiple players, a few coaches, multiple ex players, one owner, and a ton of sports media talking heads to be shameful. The pile on that has happened over this season on Clark has been RIDICULOUS! That young woman has had an enormous weight placed on her because she is so popular. It made her the target of many who didn’t like her popularity, the attention she received or the endorsement deals she entered. But from the draft through the last game Caitlin played hard, advocated for her peers, complimented every player past and present and represented her team and the league unselfishly and professionally. She NEVER said an unkind word! And she has twice condemned the horrible behavior of the few without throwing millions of us away with the trash she called out. I haven’t heard many in the W stand up to defend Caitlin or even express empathy for the challenges of her popularity and the constant hate that was directed at her because of it.
@@stevehardwick7285Really?!?! That's great to hear!!! I think most Fever fans like Dallas Wings & their players & have been some of the most fun games to watch!!! Arike Ogunbowale was actually 2nd in overall points to A'ja Wilson!!!
Caitlin is on 60 Minutes tonight. All the players are infuriated because they know Caitlin is the reason for the growth of this league. If they were so good, then how come all this didn't happen until Caitlin showed up? It never was going to happen.
Lol. The WNBA attendance grew by 115 percent in 2023. Caitlin was in college. Tv ratings went up from 372000 in 2022 to 505000 in 2023. Caitlin grew the Fever., not the league. 20 of the top 24 highest rated TV games involved the Fever. The rest of the league is averaging far below the 505000 they had last year.
Caitlin doesn’t want the acknowledgment. Caitlin goal is to uplift players and the WNBA period. Doesn’t matter what anyone says or thinks about Caitlin. CC will give 110% to help the WNBA
Everyone in the WNBA needs to apologize to CC. She never once spoke about this to make herself "look better" or "brag" and yet these women treated her so disgustingly horrible and tried to tarnish her name. The WNBA doesn't deserve her. I guarantee not one player that hates CC (for no good reason) will speak on this. But they will definitely speak on a false narrative that makes Caitlin look bad while claiming to be "victims". I really can't fathom why they have so much hate in their heart for CC. This is why they have been a joke for over 20 years without CC. They act like entitled children. Also, imagine how embarrassed these women would be if CC actually dropped what is in her DM's? I guarantee that she has had it a lot worse than anyone in the WNBA when it comes to harassment, threats, racism, etc. Just look at what we have seen publicly from Antonio Brown and Sheryl Swoopes. I can't imagine what has been sent to Caitlin.
@@ItsLAdybird They already apologize by taking their moment to tear her down with their narcissistic behavior see you have to look at it from a different view it’s like going to confession some of them are afraid of being not relevant and moved to the back. She is making a path for the league to grow. New players coming into the league with their own followers and big corporate sponorship in other words NIL deals. This is why CC is here at this pivotal time.
@@keithshocklee510S CC is definitely paving the way for the league to grow and finally get sponsors and money. I mean, it's already happened since she showed up. And she is doing it for everyone in the WNBA, not just for herself. Not many people are like her, most are for themselves only. I believe she is here at the perfect time. It's just sad that she is hated for no reason all while trying her best to help the people who are hating her. Caitlin is a light and light always exposes darkness. CC is exposing the darkness in the WNBA by being such a bright light. I really hope the hate changes sooner rather than later and they let this woman just have fun in the league that she always dreamed of being in. She is 22 years old. I can't imagine what this has done to her mental health and I also can't imagine the horrible things in HER DM's, but we all know she will never expose them because she isn't that type of person.
@@ItsLAdybird Some of my good friends are ex NBA players and CC is stronger than we think. She has the best support system in the world HER FAMILY they are a family full of ex athletes. She knows business of basketball. She does charity work with young kids. Her mission is to change the league like her idols change her. She is a young woman with an old soul 🫡💯
@@keithshocklee510S You're speaking nothing but facts. But once again, I am going to say that I wish she could enjoy the moment more and not always be criticized, hated and even have the fear of being seriously injured on the court while doing these things. The commissioner and the higher ups need to do a better job of protecting her and other players when it comes to basically being assaulted on the court. I hope they fix this problem before next season. She is going to be the reason why the WNBA grows, becomes more professional, pays players more and gains new generations of players that are actually respectable. She is going to make people step their game up. She is changing everything and I'm happy to see it. I guess one has to crawl so others can run...and in this case, as far as CC has been treated...she's the one crawling through all of the BS so that in the future nobody else gets this type of treatment. I think she's okay with that but I hate to see her being mistreated, especially by other players who doesn't see the bigger picture or doesn't care. CC seems to genuinely be a really good person.
@@zoon1543This is exaggerated. Sheryl Swoopes is the main former WNBA who just purely hates on Clark. Cheryl Miller & Cynthia Cooper have been incredibly supportive!!! Watch them in their separate, recent conversations abt CC on former NBA player Mark Jackson's podcast!!! Both rave abt CC & how she should've been on the Olympic team!!! Plus both attended a game of CC & the Indiana Fever near the end of the season. Cynthia in Dallas for their last away game playing the Wings, & Cheryl M was in Indianapolis to watch CC & the Indiana Fever play their last game against the La Sparks!!! I wish more podcasters would focus & bring more attention to the former players who have been cheering her on & see the incredible generational talent that she is!!! Lisa Leslie made a comeback online to all the players who said CC was going to have to adjust! Candace Parker, I believe on Sports Center, talked about glowingly how CC is the 1st real star performer of life like Steph Curry!!! Ticha Penicheiro, Sue Byrd, Nancy Lieberman & Maya Moore have all celebrated Caitlin Clark!!! Even since the break, Cheryl Reeve & Becky Hammon showed respect to CC's play. Just saying it's more the current vets & Sheryl Swoopes who are the main culprits!!!!
One simple thing I've noticed is CC's layups being far more efficient and fundamentally sound, a requirement to earn respect as a hooper. Whereas so many W players just heave the ball at the hoop hoping the smaller ball just bounces it's way into the bigger hoop. CC just hits the hole against a bigger defender and puts proper power against the backboard to get it in clean. Until the league learns to perform layups like this, I'm not watching non Fever games.
There's no doubt that she's worked on her game inside the paint & her mid range shooting! I know she probably ended the season feeling very frustrated w/ her 3-point shot, but man she's been playing basketball for basically a full year!!!
Nothing will change and next year CC will be injured if something isn't done about the level of violence & the pathetic level of refs see were forced to witness. I don't hold much hope when none of these issues has even been addressed, from anyone, especially the commissioner.!!!
65 flagrant fouls called in 2023. Nobody said a peep. 30 flagrant fouls called in 2024. 5 against Caitlin, and NOW everyone is concerned about rough play in the WNBA? Wow
@@TheMeefive17% of flagrant fouls were done to CC, but let's be clear, those are the ONLY ones that were called!!! I'm sorry, other players have left the league due to bullying!!! Candace Wiggins for one, & Candace Parker! Skylar Diggins-Smith almost left the league due to being bullying. Sure, due to Clark there's more eyes on the league, SO yea they're going to be called out!!! They are a few dirty players in the league, I've seen them be dirty in EVERY game they play! They're not just b/c of CC, but they are also not always get called!
Ah well. I had that attitude until I understood the sweet deal the NBA made. The split of revenue being 40/20/40 between NBA/Nike & others/WNBA. For example; Say the annual revenue is $50million (based on current media deal). The NBA get 40% off the top, $20million in this example. Nike & the other investors get 20%, or $10Million in this example. The WNBA then have the remaining $20million as annual income but if the "annual loss of $10Million" is used in this example, the WNBA would have costs of $30million. Essentially, the NBA then gives back $10Million from its $20Million annual cut. I'd never heard of a revenue share, it has always been a profit share. The more traditional (non-sport?) way would be to say income of $50million and running costs of $30million giving a $20million of profits to be shared Applying the same % would be $8million to NBA, $4million to Nike & other investors and $8million to WNBA with some of that shared between players etc I assume that the NBA originally gave security for the costs incurred when the WNBA was first set up to get such a huge profit share. IDK. Is this the correct fundamentals?
@@AbzScotland the nba is obviously long term in its vision and relationships…but at this point the wnba is mostly incompetent in its vision for the league as eveidenced by their long term failure
@@FitzcarlssonThen I sure wish Adam Silver would step in as the Commissioner of the WNBA is terrible!!!! He certainly stepped in to help negotiate an even higher deal for the tv rights, using CC as leverage. Unless the top starts to change, & how they treat fans, the WNBA is never going to get Caitlin Clark fans!!!!
@@drlarrypfaffI know that the 3 Coaches for Iowa's Hawkeyes in Women's Basketball really went to great lengths to help, guide & prepare Caitlin Clark due to her being catapulted into fame!!! Its actually quite extraordinary the lengths & all they did to help prepare her! It all the more makes me see how Sides is just in over her head in how to Coach & deal with the ongoing issues like the poor officiating that needs to be addressed!!!
Clark advocated a bonus for the apposition? Oh my; Another reason for the inherently mentally sick opposing players to be jealous of her good will as well as the positive perception that she is receiving. They may think that it’s just a scheme. “Dang, she outdid us again; Why didn’t we think of that scheme?"
Living on the fringe or joining the mainstream and getting paid isn't what the WNBA is about. Sadly Clark proved just how mediocre the level of play is in the WNBA and for them to play like a real pro they'd have to work harder at their game.. Which obviously they don't care to do.
Let's see. Clark turned the ball over a record 223 times. She was 0-2 in the playoffs but somehow that shows that the league is mediocre? Your logic escapes me.😂
@TheMeefive And had 327 assists and was responsible for >45% of her team's points (points/assists) and set the record for most Points generated in 3 game stretch (beating the GOAT)and for the year. And she got Fouled constantly with No calls, which generated some of those TOs, and shown with the scratches, bruises and black eye from these Less talented women players
In that interview Barber also confirmed that Caitlin prioritized passing to her teammates (over taking the shot herself) to boost them up and build team rapport. The WNBA establishment, primadonna players (and "legends") who have been riding the CC hate train better figure a way off that train asap, as they are only looking more and more selfish and self-centered by the day, as we learn more about the character of CC, and her commitment to all the players in the league.
They really don’t care what Caitlin try to do for them and never will . She’s been in revenue like crazy and they still don’t care. They want her out. She’s white and she’s too good. Don’t want to little white girl head of the league.
@CodyCha What are you talking about? What does the owner being rich have to do with a business model that loses money?? 4,000 ticket buyers per game does not equal millions per athlete..🙄
Allow me to push back a bit. I've said from day 1 the WNBA would rather fail on its own rather than succeed with Caitlin Clark. TBH I thought "they" would change as the season went on but apparently not. Some have I think but those at the top especially WNBA executives and also some owners and coaches are too afraid or too woke to get the league under control and headed in a positive PR direction. If they haven't blown it already they will if major changes aren't made next season. The actions allowed in this league from the absurdly inept refereeing to certain team cultures, bye bye T Spoon, to the constant whining and victimhood are out of control and about as unprofessional as it can get especially from a business standpoint. NO business ultimately succeeds with poor management at the top and being a businessman myself, this league has one of the worst C-suite and middle managements I've ever witnessed
NBA has ownership in WNBA. If NBA want to change the behaviors of WNBA, they can replace the people in charge. The stakeholders don't care. They're just as woke.
Wnba does not deserve Caitlin and after the way she was treated any talented young player coming up should consider very carefully before joining this league.
I'm confused by Allison Barber's comments here. She's talking about the Fever walking into other teams' arenas that are sold out. If she's asking for away players to get a spot check, is she referring to all away players in every game? It sounds like she's asking for her team to get spot checks because they are the away team generating extra revenue for the home team. I'm thinking the story was not related correctly, because no one interpreted Caitlin's actions to be self-serving. Am I interpreting Ms. Barber's story incorrectly?
If the WNBA is prepared to forge its own path, let the NBA stop funding their delusions. It is long past time (~30 years) that it be allowed to sink with the questionable talent pool they espouse to venerate, or prepare the way for a new league with real talent to emerge, led by the one transcendent (i.e., influence beyond her own sport) woman who has the savvy and the skill to succeed.
The Aces are worth 140 million. Average net worth of the league is 96 million. Somebody is making money from this league. Why would they stop funding it?
@@TheMeefive The league is not making money. It's losing it. According to the Washington Post (June 11, 2024) the WNBA is on pace to post yet another losing year (now 28 and counting) to the tune of approximately $50 million, and this despite Caitlin Clark's membership in the league. After nearly thirty losing years it is long past time that the NBA stopped throwing good money after bad, and let the WNBA stand on its own and produce a quality product, one that people actually want to watch, or stand aside and make room for a league that can.
Here, let me help you. You don't like watching poorly executed basketball. You don't like set shots. You don't like repeatedly watching missed layups. You don't like watching over-rated YT influencers try to knock the rim completely off the backboard with one of their patented "Thunderbricks".
@@michaelflatters5906 It’s also the one on one, isolation hero ball from the guards in the league who have talent. Jewell Lloyd, Arike, Chennedy Carter, Mitchell etc. I can’t believe how much these guards just seem to chuck away without a care in the world. Clark looks to make the right play and she’s a team player who cares about victories first.
Agreed!!! But seeing CC get fouled brutally & them NOT being called, I'm glad the Fever is done! I just can't believe how brutal the officiating was & all the praise going to Dijonai Carrington & Alyssa Thomas! The Commissioner of the league is a complete joke!!!
You said no one's taken a 'direct shot' at Clark but just her and Fever fans, but actually they have: did we forget that pretty early on, Reese in a postgame presser defended her flagrant 1 on Clark by saying that "some people" (ie Clark) get a "special whistle" - and then later in the season she repeated that to a teammate while Clark was within earshot. Also, more than one player's said that Clark either hadn't spoken up or needs to speak up more on some stuff that online trolls spew at players (Clark's already spoken on it twice this season).
And all they want to do is hurt her while claiming victim hood. Why has this not been spoke about is obvious as the other players might actually start to appreciate her . Once a century you find someone like this kid that is the full package in sports . CC is going to o things that will stand till next century or longer by the time she has finished . CC , is the PIED PIPER .
Clark's time will come. She will own this league in 5 years. The old guard is going to fade away because that is the biology of life. The smart Old Heads should attach themselves to Clark because frankly that is the way to stay relevant as a "legend" when they are 50, can't play and endorsements are gone.
She already does, she is bigger than the league. If you were to look at the money generated, i'm sure its over a billion for this year alone. She doesn't even get 1% of 1% of that.
She is here for the future of the WNBA you have rookies is coming in with their NIL deals they know the business and some of these new players coming in with millions of followers that’s what needs to be the focus because that’s what Big Corps want to see, that 2B deal was not based on the previous version of The W it’s for the future.
The other players are going to hate her worse now because they will see kindness as weakness and they are bullies.. However, some players may appreciate it and feel more inclined to defend Caitlin.
Caitlin Clark takes it way past the game of basketball. She shows us not just the joy of winning, but how to lose and be a good sport. Her next play mentality shows us to never give up that we always will win.
Hmm.... I'm struggling a little with how CC isn't standing up for herself w/ these last 2 playoff games!!! Not sure the answer, but don't think this was it! Alyssa Thomas used the racism card, so that she & Dijonai Carrington could not be taken to task for being bullies, & dirty players!!!
First, kudos to Allison for “secretly” telling the story. Not sure how many people (players) have an issue with CC. While I think most players want to be paid more, I can’t tell whether or not the league is a glorified social club for some players or a serious, top notch league. They definitely were not ready for social media and fan criticisms. I credit the Fever players and staff for how they handled everything as an organization. To Allison’s point, they were under a constant judgment microscope.
Wouldn't the Fever be the away team for games in Atlanta or was she saying the additional fans were her / Fever fans and therefore Atlanta was the visiting team in their own arena? After a few away games, and all of the sellouts, Caitlin asked the WNBA if they would pay spot bonuses to the away team players," Barber continued. Whether for her teammates, the opposition or both ... whichever way, it's a nice gesture!
Im surprised that you dont get this. The match in Atlanta, so Fever are are away team. She wants Fever to get bonuses for a sold out crown in Atlanta. That is actually very selfish of her.
The wnba hasmnever needed to be professional because no one ever watches and because they have never faced the pressure of needing too turn a profit so as long as the NBA subsidizes this league they will never change. Their jobs are never on the line and their is no realmconsequence. Clark is a nice person and business minded and that's the difference and media trained clearly. Also wnba players need too work onmtheir game and get off Twitter because between missed layups and open shots combined with horriblemform the majority of the wnba players aren't elite. Clark works hard and it shows. A bunch of activists trying to direct the narrative instead of actually improving and playing watchable basketball. True she should've fired the coach. The former pres seemsmlike a genuinely great person
Nike has just pushed CC's shoe to 2027. Because the shoe they just came out with has sold less than a thousand. That has left them on the hook for the over 200,000 shoes they ordered
Watch the 60 minutes episode too. Napheesa will be leading collective bargaining next year and I think will be in a great position, and a very intelligent and classy leader for the players union.
Bull shit!!!! That's the problem right there! 🎯 U are lumping 1 player's fan base altogether! Its binary thinking. U might as well just say, CC's fans are BAD (ALL bad) & other players fans are GOOD!
Sydney McLaughlin Levrone and CC22 are the purest athletes/superstars I've seen. No agendas, just do it. People want to be fans, but league is just too toxic and corrosive.
Understood. But many corporations close unprofitable locations. They should stay owners. Stop wasting money, let each franchise try to stand on its own. Some may fold but what remains will become profitable and the nba wins in long run
It’s a shame, she advocates for the players behind the scenes. Meanwhile, some/most of the larger voices in the league do nothing but bash her blatantly or indirectly.
Clark is the only reason this league is gaining attention and growth. No-one else is helping instead there driving not only Clark's fan base but potential new fans from that fan base away from the league
Sorry. Other WNBA players are responsible for achieving their own capital, Caitlin Clark has her own contract to be concerned about, these are professionals women. Furthermore it's time for her to have own personal vacation away from all the social media drama surrounding her that's actually been perpetuated without her consent. Note! It's not an issue whether or not you're a fan of hers, but do you really see her worrying or making interviews or statements? No. Her other colleagues have already completed their exit interviews for the year. Sure she wants to spin time with her family now and for all negativity to stop🛑 Pretty sure she wants everyone else to enjoy what excitement and talent the WNBA playoffs offers. Whether or not you are an old or new fan, you'll make the conscious decision to watch the WNBA as you would any other sport. Listen I'm a Los Vegas Aces fan. Caitlin Clark has accomplished many feets this year that some won't in a lifetime that's playing professional sports. At this point, let's let Caitlin finally rest until next year.
No matter how many wonderful things Caitlin Clark tries to do to advance the WNBA and to help other players, it will never be appreciated and will go unnoticed because she's not a woke, militant, ass-kissing lesbian! Whatever she does will NEVER be good enough for the other players because they hate her for how popular she is! That's the bottom line, like it or not!
She LOVES basketball!!! 🏀 If that can be a GREAT outlet for her, that'd be great!!! It seems a lot of athletes & performers enjoy golf as a get away. I must say, I'm so greatful for her, that she gets a break from basketball, period!!! Can't imagine how much she needs it!
I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that other WNBA players dislike Caitlin Clark or that African Americans dislike Caitlin Clark. Real basketball fans like great basketball players regardless of race or nationality. That goes back to Larry Bird, Jason Williams, Dirk Nowitski etc. The argument for most people hasn’t been against CC, but the way everything surrounding her is being handled. For ex: I’m from the same hometown as Kelsey Mitchell. Kelsey could ball out in a game but Caitlin could shoot 2-10 from three and all the headlines would be about the two threes that CC made. That’s the problem. CC doesn’t control what’s going on around her but unfortunately there are some who do blame her. Just like CC never complained about Angel, but other people attacked Angel on CC’s behalf. A lot of people believe other WNBA players should shut up and dribble in hopes of making more money because of CC but those players also play for glory. Also to earn a bigger contract, one has to have their play noticed by their peers, media, fans etc. So again, Caitlin isn’t the problem and I personally believe that any hate she receives is just in defense of others.
It is ABSOLUTELY by proxy. They are using her “so-called” fans to get at her, because the light shines too bright, and has tested everyone else’s ego, and this is their ridiculous, petty, pathetic, tactic. AT has a lot of nerve, anyone who thinks she IS NOT a thug, watch her UFC take down of AR, and her cold shoulder, potential jaw breaker hit on CC. Wah, wah, wah… puleeeze. ☑️👌😎 JP
It is a punk/thug league and won't change. The league was obviously set up to be an activist league and even CC and her wide-ranging popularity is not going to change it. I hope Clark does not end up with a life-altering injury before she retires. She won't leave the league, she is too competitive and she will play in the league until she 1) gets hurt badly 2) wins multiple championships or 3) gets too told to be the best. She would be money and peace ahead to leave the WNBA and play in Europe, start a new league, or try for the LPGA. But she is too competitive to do any of those things......
Another thing that a lot of the so called CC fans don’t realize is disrespecting the opposing African American players on behalf of Caitlin hurts the African American players on her team as well. Calling a young woman a ni**er because you are upset about a call is eye opening to players like Mitchell and Boston who play alongside Caitlin. Also if the Fever lose a game or series, CC fans rush to blame everyone besides her and that includes her teammates. There’s no increase in pay that will make someone want to subject themselves to that type of hatred and racism.
Who are you talking to and who are you talking about?? There are racist trolls on the internet and there will always be racist trolls on the internet and amongst every group of people. Unfortunately those lowlifes will always exist, no matter how much of a self-contained bubble the WNBA players try to keep themselves protected in.
I hope and pray to almighty God ,she leaves this leage..please lord i font adk for much and i know you have far more important things on your plate. But i hope she leaves walks away and never look back.
Why are you still talking about Caitlin Clark?? Her team is trash, and I'm glad they lost. They're out of the playoffs. Talk about the better WNBA players who are still playing.
@@anneb889 This is why many people get upset with Caitlin and the sports media who act like she's the only thing that matters in the WNBA. She lost and they're still talking about her more than the players who are still in the playoffs??
@@Benzy-d3u Because you can talk about all those players, they don’t generate as much interest. The media and yt want clicks to generate revenue. Just like the other playoff games combined didn’t have as many viewers as the Fever game the other night. Not saying it’s fair, life isn’t fair. It’s reality.
There are no "better WNBA players". He's speaking on her because all of these angry wanna-be "victims" in the WNBA who have hated CC for zero reason...CC tried to actually help them get more money. They should be embarrassed and brace yourself kid, because a lot more people are going to be talking about this. Cope.
Nike should release them both at the same time. And say, see we told you CC is money in the bank. But they will not, the woke cult has infected them also unfortunately.
The former president of the Fever teliing about Clark trying to pay others is an indicator of Clarks classy persona.
Think about - a 22 year old rookie - had the balls to ask that question.
She is a true professional, knows how to treat people
Full Court Press only wanted to follow CC and she insisted the documentary cover a few other players (Kiki Rice and Kamilla Cardoso). Not surprised at all.
Wow but all the hate and vitriol she gets and WNBA should be ashamed of themselves
You have to possess a soul to feel shame.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t racist Aholes nor does it mean that the overwhelming majority think that it’s in any way acceptable to say such things or behave in such ways. I also think it’s entirely unfair for so many in and around the W to try and hold Caitlin or the Fever responsible for the comments or behaviors of a handful of terrible people, trolls and bots. I find the behavior, statements, and comments made by multiple players, a few coaches, multiple ex players, one owner, and a ton of sports media talking heads to be shameful. The pile on that has happened over this season on Clark has been RIDICULOUS! That young woman has had an enormous weight placed on her because she is so popular. It made her the target of many who didn’t like her popularity, the attention she received or the endorsement deals she entered. But from the draft through the last game Caitlin played hard, advocated for her peers, complimented every player past and present and represented her team and the league unselfishly and professionally. She NEVER said an unkind word! And she has twice condemned the horrible behavior of the few without throwing millions of us away with the trash she called out. I haven’t heard many in the W stand up to defend Caitlin or even express empathy for the challenges of her popularity and the constant hate that was directed at her because of it.
@@stevehardwick7285Really?!?! That's great to hear!!! I think most Fever fans like Dallas Wings & their players & have been some of the most fun games to watch!!! Arike Ogunbowale was actually 2nd in overall points to A'ja Wilson!!!
Caitlin is on 60 Minutes tonight. All the players are infuriated because they know Caitlin is the reason for the growth of this league. If they were so good, then how come all this didn't happen until Caitlin showed up? It never was going to happen.
damn i wish i could watch that for free. dont have regular tv
@@btran213 they put it on youtube
@@CodyCha 👍🏼
Lol. The WNBA attendance grew by 115 percent in 2023. Caitlin was in college. Tv ratings went up from 372000 in 2022 to 505000 in 2023. Caitlin grew the Fever., not the league. 20 of the top 24 highest rated TV games involved the Fever. The rest of the league is averaging far below the 505000 they had last year.
@@TheMeefive horseshit and you know it.....watch and see what happens with the restmof the playoffs......look at the real facts they show the truth.
Caitlin doesn’t want the acknowledgment. Caitlin goal is to uplift players and the WNBA period. Doesn’t matter what anyone says or thinks about Caitlin. CC will give 110% to help the WNBA
Everyone in the WNBA needs to apologize to CC. She never once spoke about this to make herself "look better" or "brag" and yet these women treated her so disgustingly horrible and tried to tarnish her name. The WNBA doesn't deserve her. I guarantee not one player that hates CC (for no good reason) will speak on this. But they will definitely speak on a false narrative that makes Caitlin look bad while claiming to be "victims". I really can't fathom why they have so much hate in their heart for CC. This is why they have been a joke for over 20 years without CC. They act like entitled children. Also, imagine how embarrassed these women would be if CC actually dropped what is in her DM's? I guarantee that she has had it a lot worse than anyone in the WNBA when it comes to harassment, threats, racism, etc. Just look at what we have seen publicly from Antonio Brown and Sheryl Swoopes. I can't imagine what has been sent to Caitlin.
It's easy woman hate woman who are better or more popular than them. They would rather try to bring her down, than trying to better them self.
@@ItsLAdybird They already apologize by taking their moment to tear her down with their narcissistic behavior see you have to look at it from a different view it’s like going to confession some of them are afraid of being not relevant and moved to the back. She is making a path for the league to grow. New players coming into the league with their own followers and big corporate sponorship in other words NIL deals. This is why CC is here at this pivotal time.
@@keithshocklee510S CC is definitely paving the way for the league to grow and finally get sponsors and money. I mean, it's already happened since she showed up. And she is doing it for everyone in the WNBA, not just for herself. Not many people are like her, most are for themselves only. I believe she is here at the perfect time. It's just sad that she is hated for no reason all while trying her best to help the people who are hating her. Caitlin is a light and light always exposes darkness. CC is exposing the darkness in the WNBA by being such a bright light. I really hope the hate changes sooner rather than later and they let this woman just have fun in the league that she always dreamed of being in. She is 22 years old. I can't imagine what this has done to her mental health and I also can't imagine the horrible things in HER DM's, but we all know she will never expose them because she isn't that type of person.
@@ItsLAdybird Some of my good friends are ex NBA players and CC is stronger than we think. She has the best support system in the world HER FAMILY they are a family full of ex athletes. She knows business of basketball. She does charity work with young kids. Her mission is to change the league like her idols change her. She is a young woman with an old soul 🫡💯
@@keithshocklee510S You're speaking nothing but facts. But once again, I am going to say that I wish she could enjoy the moment more and not always be criticized, hated and even have the fear of being seriously injured on the court while doing these things. The commissioner and the higher ups need to do a better job of protecting her and other players when it comes to basically being assaulted on the court. I hope they fix this problem before next season. She is going to be the reason why the WNBA grows, becomes more professional, pays players more and gains new generations of players that are actually respectable. She is going to make people step their game up. She is changing everything and I'm happy to see it. I guess one has to crawl so others can run...and in this case, as far as CC has been treated...she's the one crawling through all of the BS so that in the future nobody else gets this type of treatment. I think she's okay with that but I hate to see her being mistreated, especially by other players who doesn't see the bigger picture or doesn't care. CC seems to genuinely be a really good person.
and they will never acknowledge it's because off CC
They believe they are social activists. Although their activism hasn’t resulted in much except poverty for the league .
Clark is a class act. Everyone wants to attach themselves to the Clark effect including social media trolls. Don't see them as real or as fans
I think you can include a lot of jealous current and ex BB players too the hate is beyond disgusting 🤬
@@zoon1543This is exaggerated. Sheryl Swoopes is the main former WNBA who just purely hates on Clark.
Cheryl Miller & Cynthia Cooper have been incredibly supportive!!! Watch them in their separate, recent conversations abt CC on former NBA player Mark Jackson's podcast!!! Both rave abt CC & how she should've been on the Olympic team!!! Plus both attended a game of CC & the Indiana Fever near the end of the season. Cynthia in Dallas for their last away game playing the Wings, & Cheryl M was in Indianapolis to watch CC & the Indiana Fever play their last game against the La Sparks!!! I wish more podcasters would focus & bring more attention to the former players who have been cheering her on & see the incredible generational talent that she is!!! Lisa Leslie made a comeback online to all the players who said CC was going to have to adjust! Candace Parker, I believe on Sports Center, talked about glowingly how CC is the 1st real star performer of life like Steph Curry!!! Ticha Penicheiro, Sue Byrd, Nancy Lieberman & Maya Moore have all celebrated Caitlin Clark!!! Even since the break, Cheryl Reeve & Becky Hammon showed respect to CC's play. Just saying it's more the current vets & Sheryl Swoopes who are the main culprits!!!!
One simple thing I've noticed is CC's layups being far more efficient and fundamentally sound, a requirement to earn respect as a hooper. Whereas so many W players just heave the ball at the hoop hoping the smaller ball just bounces it's way into the bigger hoop. CC just hits the hole against a bigger defender and puts proper power against the backboard to get it in clean. Until the league learns to perform layups like this, I'm not watching non Fever games.
There's no doubt that she's worked on her game inside the paint & her mid range shooting! I know she probably ended the season feeling very frustrated w/ her 3-point shot, but man she's been playing basketball for basically a full year!!!
Nothing will change and next year CC will be injured if something isn't done about the level of violence & the pathetic level of refs see were forced to witness. I don't hold much hope when none of these issues has even been addressed, from anyone, especially the commissioner.!!!
65 flagrant fouls called in 2023. Nobody said a peep. 30 flagrant fouls called in 2024. 5 against Caitlin, and NOW everyone is concerned about rough play in the WNBA? Wow
@@TheMeefive17% of flagrant fouls were done to CC, but let's be clear, those are the ONLY ones that were called!!! I'm sorry, other players have left the league due to bullying!!! Candace Wiggins for one, & Candace Parker! Skylar Diggins-Smith almost left the league due to being bullying. Sure, due to Clark there's more eyes on the league, SO yea they're going to be called out!!! They are a few dirty players in the league, I've seen them be dirty in EVERY game they play! They're not just b/c of CC, but they are also not always get called!
CC is the best.
But, the only way this league gets legit is if the nba stops funding the league and the wnba and their owners stand on their own.
The NBA is a part owner and probably won’t want to stop being an owner as there is more money to be made.
Ah well. I had that attitude until I understood the sweet deal the NBA made. The split of revenue being 40/20/40 between NBA/Nike & others/WNBA. For example;
Say the annual revenue is $50million (based on current media deal). The NBA get 40% off the top, $20million in this example. Nike & the other investors get 20%, or $10Million in this example. The WNBA then have the remaining $20million as annual income but if the "annual loss of $10Million" is used in this example, the WNBA would have costs of $30million. Essentially, the NBA then gives back $10Million from its $20Million annual cut. I'd never heard of a revenue share, it has always been a profit share.
The more traditional (non-sport?) way would be to say income of $50million and running costs of $30million giving a $20million of profits to be shared Applying the same % would be $8million to NBA, $4million to Nike & other investors and $8million to WNBA with some of that shared between players etc
I assume that the NBA originally gave security for the costs incurred when the WNBA was first set up to get such a huge profit share. IDK. Is this the correct fundamentals?
@@AbzScotland the nba is obviously long term in its vision and relationships…but at this point the wnba is mostly incompetent in its vision for the league as eveidenced by their long term failure
@@FitzcarlssonThen I sure wish Adam Silver would step in as the Commissioner of the WNBA is terrible!!!! He certainly stepped in to help negotiate an even higher deal for the tv rights, using CC as leverage. Unless the top starts to change, & how they treat fans, the WNBA is never going to get Caitlin Clark fans!!!!
And the ungrateful bullies continue to flagrantly foul her
If the rest of the players conducted themselves like CC most of the issues they complain about would be non existent.
They still think being an activist makes sense for a professional sports business. The evidence shows that it is ridiculous
Nobody taught them how to be professionals. Separate personal life from professional basketball.
@@CodyCha time they learned. Their college coaches, current coaches and franchise should be teaching them.
@@drlarrypfaffI know that the 3 Coaches for Iowa's Hawkeyes in Women's Basketball really went to great lengths to help, guide & prepare Caitlin Clark due to her being catapulted into fame!!! Its actually quite extraordinary the lengths & all they did to help prepare her! It all the more makes me see how Sides is just in over her head in how to Coach & deal with the ongoing issues like the poor officiating that needs to be addressed!!!
Haters don't give a shit about any of it
What’s funny is it was CC fans that filled the arenas that the WNBA players don’t like.
Clark advocated a bonus for the apposition? Oh my; Another reason for the inherently mentally sick opposing players to be jealous of her good will as well as the positive perception that she is receiving. They may think that it’s just a scheme. “Dang, she outdid us again; Why didn’t we think of that scheme?"
Living on the fringe or joining the mainstream and getting paid isn't what the WNBA is about. Sadly Clark proved just how mediocre the level of play is in the WNBA and for them to play like a real pro they'd have to work harder at their game.. Which obviously they don't care to do.
The league needs to officiate the games as a high skill league vs a physical 1990s nba type of league.
I've been saying this from the beginning. They hate her because she's making them work on that court. 😅😅😅
Let's see. Clark turned the ball over a record 223 times. She was 0-2 in the playoffs but somehow that shows that the league is mediocre? Your logic escapes me.😂
@TheMeefive And had 327 assists and was responsible for >45% of her team's points (points/assists) and set the record for most Points generated in 3 game stretch (beating the GOAT)and for the year.
And she got Fouled constantly with No calls, which generated some of those TOs, and shown with the scratches, bruises and black eye from these Less talented women players
@@TheMeefivetf u talking about.
Caitlin needs the WNBA competition to be Caitlin Clark. She understands that even when a lot of fans don't.
I agree short term.
BUT if the officiating is a joke & isn't professional that can't continue!!!!
@@tammyboon6259 Agree, everything indicates that CC will give it 4 years, like college, that CC has stated "flew past"
@@tammyboon6259 Pseudo-professional
In that interview Barber also confirmed that Caitlin prioritized passing to her teammates (over taking the shot herself) to boost them up and build team rapport. The WNBA establishment, primadonna players (and "legends") who have been riding the CC hate train better figure a way off that train asap, as they are only looking more and more selfish and self-centered by the day, as we learn more about the character of CC, and her commitment to all the players in the league.
Time after time, Caitlin 'Class' Clark strikes again!! WOW!! Wonder how those players feel NOW that THIS TRUTH comes out.
They really don’t care what Caitlin try to do for them and never will . She’s been in revenue like crazy and they still don’t care. They want her out. She’s white and she’s too good. Don’t want to little white girl head of the league.
They feel exactly the same; white girl bad, straight girl bad, straight white girl's fans bad.
Why not?? The ACES players got 100K bonuses from the LV Chamber of Commerce....the whole team even the bench!!😡
Aces cheat so much it’s crazy
Because some rich man can pay all the best players in the league millions to play for his favorite team
@CodyCha What are you talking about? What does the owner being rich have to do with a business model that loses money?? 4,000 ticket buyers per game does not equal millions per athlete..🙄
Allow me to push back a bit. I've said from day 1 the WNBA would rather fail on its own rather than succeed with Caitlin Clark. TBH I thought "they" would change as the season went on but apparently not. Some have I think but those at the top especially WNBA executives and also some owners and coaches are too afraid or too woke to get the league under control and headed in a positive PR direction. If they haven't blown it already they will if major changes aren't made next season. The actions allowed in this league from the absurdly inept refereeing to certain team cultures, bye bye T Spoon, to the constant whining and victimhood are out of control and about as unprofessional as it can get especially from a business standpoint. NO business ultimately succeeds with poor management at the top and being a businessman myself, this league has one of the worst C-suite and middle managements I've ever witnessed
They live in a strange activist echo chamber of delusional fantasy basicaly.
NBA has ownership in WNBA. If NBA want to change the behaviors of WNBA, they can replace the people in charge. The stakeholders don't care. They're just as woke.
Wnba does not deserve Caitlin and after the way she was treated any talented young player coming up should consider very carefully before joining this league.
I'm confused by Allison Barber's comments here. She's talking about the Fever walking into other teams' arenas that are sold out. If she's asking for away players to get a spot check, is she referring to all away players in every game? It sounds like she's asking for her team to get spot checks because they are the away team generating extra revenue for the home team. I'm thinking the story was not related correctly, because no one interpreted Caitlin's actions to be self-serving. Am I interpreting Ms. Barber's story incorrectly?
There's always players who just can't grasp reality and fall short on common sense!
There will not be a Nike campaign until Queen Aja gets thicker skin.
If the WNBA is prepared to forge its own path, let the NBA stop funding their delusions. It is long past time (~30 years) that it be allowed to sink with the questionable talent pool they espouse to venerate, or prepare the way for a new league with real talent to emerge, led by the one transcendent (i.e., influence beyond her own sport) woman who has the savvy and the skill to succeed.
The Aces are worth 140 million. Average net worth of the league is 96 million. Somebody is making money from this league. Why would they stop funding it?
@@TheMeefive The league is not making money. It's losing it. According to the Washington Post (June 11, 2024) the WNBA is on pace to post yet another losing year (now 28 and counting) to the tune of approximately $50 million, and this despite Caitlin Clark's membership in the league. After nearly thirty losing years it is long past time that the NBA stopped throwing good money after bad, and let the WNBA stand on its own and produce a quality product, one that people actually want to watch, or stand aside and make room for a league that can.
Watching Caitlin Clark play basketball just brings me joy. The other players, not so much. I can’t explain it, but that’s how it is.
She’s better than them
Here, let me help you. You don't like watching poorly executed basketball. You don't like set shots. You don't like repeatedly watching missed layups. You don't like watching over-rated YT influencers try to knock the rim completely off the backboard with one of their patented "Thunderbricks".
@@michaelflatters5906 It’s also the one on one, isolation hero ball from the guards in the league who have talent. Jewell Lloyd, Arike, Chennedy Carter, Mitchell etc. I can’t believe how much these guards just seem to chuck away without a care in the world. Clark looks to make the right play and she’s a team player who cares about victories first.
Agreed!!! But seeing CC get fouled brutally & them NOT being called, I'm glad the Fever is done! I just can't believe how brutal the officiating was & all the praise going to Dijonai Carrington & Alyssa Thomas! The Commissioner of the league is a complete joke!!!
You said no one's taken a 'direct shot' at Clark but just her and Fever fans, but actually they have: did we forget that pretty early on, Reese in a postgame presser defended her flagrant 1 on Clark by saying that "some people" (ie Clark) get a "special whistle" - and then later in the season she repeated that to a teammate while Clark was within earshot. Also, more than one player's said that Clark either hadn't spoken up or needs to speak up more on some stuff that online trolls spew at players (Clark's already spoken on it twice this season).
And all they want to do is hurt her while claiming victim hood. Why has this not been spoke about is obvious as the other players might actually start to appreciate her .
Once a century you find someone like this kid that is the full package in sports . CC is going to o things that will stand till next century or longer by the time she has finished .
CC , is the PIED PIPER .
An they're trying to physically harm her 😂😂😂
Clark's time will come. She will own this league in 5 years. The old guard is going to fade away because that is the biology of life. The smart Old Heads should attach themselves to Clark because frankly that is the way to stay relevant as a "legend" when they are 50, can't play and endorsements are gone.
She already does, she is bigger than the league. If you were to look at the money generated, i'm sure its over a billion for this year alone. She doesn't even get 1% of 1% of that.
She is here for the future of the WNBA you have rookies is coming in with their NIL deals they know the business and some of these new players coming in with millions of followers that’s what needs to be the focus because that’s what Big Corps want to see, that 2B deal was not based on the previous version of The W it’s for the future.
No need for them..they dont deserve..
The other players are going to hate her worse now because they will see kindness as weakness and they are bullies.. However, some players may appreciate it and feel more inclined to defend Caitlin.
Caitlin Clark takes it way past the game of basketball. She shows us not just the joy of winning, but how to lose and be a good sport. Her next play mentality shows us to never give up that we always will win.
Hmm.... I'm struggling a little with how CC isn't standing up for herself w/ these last 2 playoff games!!! Not sure the answer, but don't think this was it! Alyssa Thomas used the racism card, so that she & Dijonai Carrington could not be taken to task for being bullies, & dirty players!!!
you almost have no choice but to fall in love with CC as a fan
It wouldn’t matter if she was successful to get them a few dollars more. They will still hate on CC. They don’t deserve dime!
WNBA does NOT deserve Caitlin Clark. PERIOD.

Everybody knows she is a great person , too bad haters don't give a crap , they will ruin her carer 😔😔😔
First, kudos to Allison for “secretly” telling the story. Not sure how many people (players) have an issue with CC. While I think most players want to be paid more, I can’t tell whether or not the league is a glorified social club for some players or a serious, top notch league. They definitely were not ready for social media and fan criticisms. I credit the Fever players and staff for how they handled everything as an organization. To Allison’s point, they were under a constant judgment microscope.
Clark a mature & classy player which these WNBA 😭 babies will never be. 😏
Wouldn't the Fever be the away team for games in Atlanta or was she saying the additional fans were her / Fever fans and therefore Atlanta was the visiting team in their own arena?
After a few away games, and all of the sellouts, Caitlin asked the WNBA if they would pay spot bonuses to the away team players," Barber continued.
Whether for her teammates, the opposition or both ... whichever way, it's a nice gesture!
Got have sth to do with her parents,teachers and coaches to have such normal American girl❤
She brought new fans and they chased them away
Im surprised that you dont get this. The match in Atlanta, so Fever are are away team. She wants Fever to get bonuses for a sold out crown in Atlanta. That is actually very selfish of her.
The wnba hasmnever needed to be professional because no one ever watches and because they have never faced the pressure of needing too turn a profit so as long as the NBA subsidizes this league they will never change. Their jobs are never on the line and their is no realmconsequence. Clark is a nice person and business minded and that's the difference and media trained clearly. Also wnba players need too work onmtheir game and get off Twitter because between missed layups and open shots combined with horriblemform the majority of the wnba players aren't elite. Clark works hard and it shows. A bunch of activists trying to direct the narrative instead of actually improving and playing watchable basketball. True she should've fired the coach. The former pres seemsmlike a genuinely great person
wow clark ❤❤❤
Nike has just pushed CC's shoe to 2027. Because the shoe they just came out with has sold less than a thousand. That has left them on the hook for the over 200,000 shoes they ordered
Announcer: And tonight's WBNA game brought to you by... Caitlin Clark." 🥂
Why do you have to add Angel to the narrative?
Angel Only matters because she attached herself to CC
The most popular girl is also the most hated by other women. This is just high school girl MO 101, you must have slept through high school.
Watch the 60 minutes episode too. Napheesa will be leading collective bargaining next year and I think will be in a great position, and a very intelligent and classy leader for the players union.
CC is an amazing player...the biggest problem is her fan base.
Bull shit!!!! That's the problem right there! 🎯 U are lumping 1 player's fan base altogether! Its binary thinking. U might as well just say, CC's fans are BAD (ALL bad) & other players fans are GOOD!
The home court Team should have paid spot bonus @ USD 5K per player if the venue attendees hit 12K
Oh now they really let CC win now
she knew it was going out to the news she was leaving she didnt care duh lol
Sydney McLaughlin Levrone and CC22 are the purest athletes/superstars I've seen. No agendas, just do it. People want to be fans, but league is just too toxic and corrosive.
Understood. But many corporations close unprofitable locations. They should stay owners. Stop wasting money, let each franchise try to stand on its own. Some may fold but what remains will become profitable and the nba wins in long run
Actually they could if both team owners and the collective bargaining agree. it can be amended at any thme
The "boogie woman" 😂
It’s a shame, she advocates for the players behind the scenes. Meanwhile, some/most of the larger voices in the league do nothing but bash her blatantly or indirectly.
Absolutely right. It’s very strange.
The more I hear the comment it seems that she wants Indiana players to get some of the profits when Indiana plays away games
Yeah I get that but I think she meant opposing players and not “away” players
The public statements from the league and the players association should end support for that league.
Where the fuck's Caitlin's shoe?
Clark is the only reason this league is gaining attention and growth. No-one else is helping instead there driving not only Clark's fan base but potential new fans from that fan base away from the league
She probably has figured out these "grown women" by now. Let them get 2nd jobs like the guys used, to. Why help people who hate you.
Sorry. Other WNBA players are responsible for achieving their own capital, Caitlin Clark has her own contract to be concerned about, these are professionals women. Furthermore it's time for her to have own personal vacation away from all the social media drama surrounding her that's actually been perpetuated without her consent. Note! It's not an issue whether or not you're a fan of hers, but do you really see her worrying or making interviews or statements? No. Her other colleagues have already completed their exit interviews for the year. Sure she wants to spin time with her family now and for all negativity to stop🛑 Pretty sure she wants everyone else to enjoy what excitement and talent the WNBA playoffs offers. Whether or not you are an old or new fan, you'll make the conscious decision to watch the WNBA as you would any other sport.
Listen I'm a Los Vegas Aces fan. Caitlin Clark has accomplished many feets this year that some won't in a lifetime that's playing professional sports. At this point, let's let Caitlin finally rest until next year.
Yea Caitlin can't be captain save a hoe
For CC it’s about a personal desire to elevate women’s sports.
@@larryhiggins6154 Caitlin can't be a captain save a hhhhhoooooeeee
No matter how many wonderful things Caitlin Clark tries to do to advance the WNBA and to help other players, it will never be appreciated and will go unnoticed because she's not a woke, militant, ass-kissing lesbian! Whatever she does will NEVER be good enough for the other players because they hate her for how popular she is! That's the bottom line, like it or not!
CC needs to swich over to ⛳ GOLF< another Tiger she would be< get out girl >
She LOVES basketball!!! 🏀 If that can be a GREAT outlet for her, that'd be great!!! It seems a lot of athletes & performers enjoy golf as a get away. I must say, I'm so greatful for her, that she gets a break from basketball, period!!! Can't imagine how much she needs it!
No nike campaign. WNBA players have canceled that. CC hatred.
I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that other WNBA players dislike Caitlin Clark or that African Americans dislike Caitlin Clark. Real basketball fans like great basketball players regardless of race or nationality. That goes back to Larry Bird, Jason Williams, Dirk Nowitski etc. The argument for most people hasn’t been against CC, but the way everything surrounding her is being handled. For ex: I’m from the same hometown as Kelsey Mitchell. Kelsey could ball out in a game but Caitlin could shoot 2-10 from three and all the headlines would be about the two threes that CC made. That’s the problem. CC doesn’t control what’s going on around her but unfortunately there are some who do blame her. Just like CC never complained about Angel, but other people attacked Angel on CC’s behalf. A lot of people believe other WNBA players should shut up and dribble in hopes of making more money because of CC but those players also play for glory. Also to earn a bigger contract, one has to have their play noticed by their peers, media, fans etc. So again, Caitlin isn’t the problem and I personally believe that any hate she receives is just in defense of others.
Don't forget to like and subscribe 😂😂😂😂😂 Stop it, too much of anything is BAD
It is ABSOLUTELY by proxy. They are using her “so-called” fans to get at her, because the light shines too bright, and has tested everyone else’s ego, and this is their ridiculous, petty, pathetic, tactic. AT has a lot of nerve, anyone who thinks she IS NOT a thug, watch her UFC take down of AR, and her cold shoulder, potential jaw breaker hit on CC. Wah, wah, wah… puleeeze. ☑️👌😎 JP
It is a punk/thug league and won't change. The league was obviously set up to be an activist league and even CC and her wide-ranging popularity is not going to change it. I hope Clark does not end up with a life-altering injury before she retires. She won't leave the league, she is too competitive and she will play in the league until she 1) gets hurt badly 2) wins multiple championships or 3) gets too told to be the best. She would be money and peace ahead to leave the WNBA and play in Europe, start a new league, or try for the LPGA. But she is too competitive to do any of those things......
Another thing that a lot of the so called CC fans don’t realize is disrespecting the opposing African American players on behalf of Caitlin hurts the African American players on her team as well. Calling a young woman a ni**er because you are upset about a call is eye opening to players like Mitchell and Boston who play alongside Caitlin. Also if the Fever lose a game or series, CC fans rush to blame everyone besides her and that includes her teammates. There’s no increase in pay that will make someone want to subject themselves to that type of hatred and racism.
Who are you talking to and who are you talking about?? There are racist trolls on the internet and there will always be racist trolls on the internet and amongst every group of people. Unfortunately those lowlifes will always exist, no matter how much of a self-contained bubble the WNBA players try to keep themselves protected in.
I hope and pray to almighty God ,she leaves this leage..please lord i font adk for much and i know you have far more important things on your plate. But i hope she leaves walks away and never look back.
Why are you still talking about Caitlin Clark?? Her team is trash, and I'm glad they lost. They're out of the playoffs. Talk about the better WNBA players who are still playing.
He wants click and views. CC gets views.
@@anneb889 This is why many people get upset with Caitlin and the sports media who act like she's the only thing that matters in the WNBA. She lost and they're still talking about her more than the players who are still in the playoffs??
@@Benzy-d3u Because you can talk about all those players, they don’t generate as much interest. The media and yt want clicks to generate revenue. Just like the other playoff games combined didn’t have as many viewers as the Fever game the other night. Not saying it’s fair, life isn’t fair. It’s reality.
There are no "better WNBA players". He's speaking on her because all of these angry wanna-be "victims" in the WNBA who have hated CC for zero reason...CC tried to actually help them get more money. They should be embarrassed and brace yourself kid, because a lot more people are going to be talking about this. Cope.
Lol.. Wanker
U haven't seen Nike report, NO shoes until at least 26. Need to elevate A Wilson first.
Nike missed a great opportunity in order to make the racist bunch happy. I see that a lot these days with companies.
As long as cc gets the bling! 💰
Nike should release them both at the same time. And say, see we told you CC is money in the bank. But they will not, the woke cult has infected them also unfortunately.
