Let's be real. Clark doesn't need the league to promote her. She has jumped the shark she is the needle. This league is too dumb to call out. They don't know what the hell they are doing. Playoffs are here let's just enjoy the ride. To be honest the NBA needs to straighten this out. There is obviously no acumen in place to do the job.
At one point agree. But imagine when we switch color of the skin and Caitlin is black with all white WNBA poster. How many cities would be on fire? It is a time to start calling out racism for what it is. WNBA is racist, plain and simple. She is heterosexual white girl = does not fit woke racist narrative where ONLY good people are non white, non hetero.
The reason C.C. drowns out all the noise is because of her parents and family, I bet the only verification C.C. ever needs is the love of her parents and family, being 1 of the best basketball player's ever is just an added bonus. I never watched basketball b4 C.C. arrived on the scene. To all the haters C.C. has more love surrounding her to deflect all that hate/jealousy and hopefully it'll keep you all quiet because you'll look even more hateful/ jealous if you carry on your narrative
@@A_Cunning_Linguist, Same here. I'm 70, and I never watched any basketball before CC. My neighbor will be 90 in Dec, and he told me the same thing today.
She lured me to the tv, and we live in New Zealand! She is such a gifted talent and so humble and gracious in a very old school way, her manners are impeccable and her intelligence shines thru every time she speaks…… the WNBA is onto a gold mine her, But I wonder if people are willing to embrace and celebrate her gifts to benefit the entire league or something else. BB is just a game and this is a young player, on the rise…… best wishes to ya lassie, go well! ❤❤
If Aja Wilson were to leave the WNBA how would attendance be impacted? My guess is it would not make any measureable difference. Now if Caitlin were to leave they would be back to flying coach and 3,000 fans per game. The W just does not get it and to be honest they aren't deserving of what she has done for them. To nor promote her is business malpractice. It will be interesting to see what attendance and viewership numbers do if the Fever is knocked out. I know as a CC fan I wont be watching and thats because I refuse to reward pettiness and stupidity.
I absolutely agree! This seems like much ado about nothing. If I have learned anything watching CC since she was a sophomore at Iowa, it is she isn't bothered by this. Why should we be??
It sounds like CC. Let Kelsey promote Indiana Fever. Why not? She's been with the Fever longer, and Caitlyn is a sweetheart with a humble heart. She knows.
What a bunch of weird weird woman running the WNBA. Maybe they just want to stay in their third class sport! It’s more comfortable for them. I have never seen this kind of unprofessional acts in a major sports league. Whoever owns this league better wake up! Caitlyn could start your own league and move women’s basketball to a new level with the help of some of her sponsors.
what wnba has done is reverse advertising moves they know if cc is not on the poster it will be a big question as it is being talk today great move wnba
As a Mom, I can feel the hurt Caitlin must be feeling. She's a young 22 year old girl. She deals with everything with such grace but it has to hurt .. deep.
There was no compelling reason for me to watch the WNBA until Caitlin Clark. The WNBA refuses to acknowledge and embrace a game changing league savior. CC will keep the WNBA off the charity welfare line. Without her they stay as a pc league with their hats out. The commissioner and the management need to be canned and now.
Right now, I'm more worried about Alyssa Thomas finishing the job on CC in the playoffs. She nearly broke her jaw last time. And, the minute CC goes down, WNBA loses their revenue/viewership. I hope the refs prevent this, but there is a better chance of the sky being purple than that happening. People claim all of this is just B ball. NOT! You don't see NBA players eating their own. They may haze rooks in good fun (carry all the team's snacks, etc.,) but they actually HELP their rookies, too. Example: Curry has taken multi rookies under his wing and helped them succeed. "Rising waters lifts ALL ships" for sure.
That's okay. Let others have a chance to shine. But to be honest the primary reason people r going to the Arenas or Stadium is to watch her play not the others.
How much are they going to rob her of what she's earned? They've passed over her for other awards, they're definitely going to rob her of MVP, which all her stats, but two, are better than Aja's. She elevated her team, teammates games, franchise, and the wnba as a whole. She's broken/set over 60 records, fills stadiums wherever she goes, got them a multi-billion media rights deal, private transportation, etc. Her contribution to the game is going to affect the league for years to come and put money into the pockets of these ungrateful winches! The league doesn't appreciate her. If the Fever don't make it to the finals, let's see if the attendance and viewership are the same!
@@BasketBall_Drive probably the WNBA is so cautious not to create further atmosphere of jealousy n resentment among players as wev'e witnessed this past 4 months where too much jealousy t towards CC have been displayed by current n retired players. And i also think CC doesn't mind being left off in the play off promo. Deep inside she knew that she's the driving force of the leagues' huge success this season as shown by the TV ratings n live audiences everytime she plays.
This is the saddest moment and I'm so sad that the WNBA doesn't give her credit. They should fire whoever is in charge of letting this happen. The NBA should talk to the director or president of the WNBA and fire her and change that poster.
CC is a star and all the wnba “ladies” are jealous! She is a star and will shrug this off like the champ she is! The television viewership will drop if the @fever are eliminated early! WNBA are missing the boat if they don’t get on the CC train
At the end of the day, it’s about basketball and about CC just showing up and doing her amazing stuff day in and day out. We true basketball fans know who she is. Hats off 2U, Ms. Clark.
Caitlin doesn't need the "promotion". She's a generational talent and has the guts to face these pedantic, entitled commentators and players. What is surprising in all of this is the the media and the WNBA know they are snubbing her again. They know it, and they also know what millions of basketball fans think about this bigotry against this 22 yo talent. And knowing WE ALL know, they think (proudly) they're giving us the finger, when in fact they are only risking the demise of the league...sooner or later.
And by the way: on Bloomberg and other finances-related newsmedia the prediction is that the WNBA is slated to lose between 30 and 50 million dollars. And that's in spite of the contributions Caitlin has brought. If she leaves the W, it will implode faster than...
I never watched wnba and never even knew the names of the teams until Caitlin Clark started playing. Seeing how she is treated not fairly is absurd !!!
based on her humbleness, it wouldn't be a far stretch to say this, posters don't win games, let them out who they want. Caitlin will leave it all on the court with her team. She is one hell of a well-rounded player and team player. 🎉🎉🎉
The WNBA was completely happy with what they were doing and they did not care that they had to be funded by the M-NBA. Clark came along and changed all that. NOW, they have to play REAL basketball and they don't like it. I have heard how pathetic this league has been for years and it more than obvious they liked it like it was. If Clark ever leaves the league, EVERYONE will disappear and make them happy again. Hang in there Clark... we love you and good always wins!!
Did you really believe the old,”It’s All About Me!” Attitude was going to slither away without a fight? There are 2 decades of EGOs involved in this game (can’t call it a sport, because up till now there was no sportsmanship in the game!) Now we have someone leading an army of players and fans who want to see the sport come First. The battle cry is, If You Love It, They Will Come, and they are coming by the thousands! The Selfish attitude of the past has been exposed and the Winning attitude has arrived with a Big Can of Whip Ass! If you want to be a self made princess go to Sports Illustrated and leave sportsmanship and teamwork to the professionals!
All true and seriously,where on earth are the commissioners of this joke league and the sugar daddy,nba not on a zoom call with coaches,players,and refs saying “this shit ends now!! COWARDS.
67yr old black woman here & NEVER thought about the LWNBA until CC came on the scene. DO YOUR THING BABY GIRL. THE BEST IS YET TO COME. "CC FAN" FOR LIFE🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🙏🙏
I first heard of Clark when she was freshman in college I was amazed the first time I watched her play when she was a sophomore. She's blown away numerous coworkers who have been involved in B-ball for the past 40 years and most of them never knew the names of WNBA players, until this year. Why is that?
Clark can play in Europe. I wish her well. If she ever leaves then the WMBA is done. I am so tired of all the drama. I have enjoyed basketball since 1970 and I've never seen such talent as CC. The league and the officials need to clean up the game before someone is going to get seriously hurt. Players like Angel have great talent but they have a bad attitude and bring great discredit to the sport.
I live in Europe, never watched “basketball” until ‘CC’ came on the scene. She has elevated Women’s basketball to a higher stratosphere. WNBA has been very careful. Lack of strategic foresight by them might backfire in a spectacular fashion.
Let's be clear if wnba still exist is because they survive because we watch Caitlin Clark games. other wise wnba vanished l9ng time ago they survived because the number 1 star Caitlin Clark whe she Appeared on may 14 2024 but wnba they are stubborn o they don't like to accept that we start to watch Caitlin Clark the day she's starting to play on wnba is that day wnba start Reborn to make money again when we start to watch Caitlin Clark the best girl on women's basketball games The Queen of Basketball ( Caitlin Clark )
Remember what cc said after being left off the Olympic team?"they woke up the monster" and that indeed happens. This might piss her off enough to put up amazing stats.
It think Mitchel was the right one to show. She has been on the team for 7 years and finally gets into the playoffs. CC will have more opportunities to be on a playoff poster
Mitchell is a fantastic player. But the poster (as they admit) is supposed to be the most influential, representative players of those teams. The poster is not about gratitude or gifting something. As per their criteria, it isn't. If Mitchell had the same exact stats as Caitlin's, if Mitchell attracted such massive crowds, then yes, by all means, she should be there. But she hasn't and she doesn't.
Would the Fever be in the playoffs without CC?? If they had drafted anyone else (Angel Reese let’s say) with their first round pick, would they be in the playoffs?? I don’t think sooo. AR and the Chicago Thugs are watching the playoffs from home
Geno the Hindsight from UConn got one thing RIGHT; Caitlin Clark has a huge target on her back; she’s NOT Black or Lesbian! Clark doesn’t fit the WNBA: she’s ALL WOMAN! She’s stable as a human and not delusionally pretending to be something else. A Catholic extremely gifted young woman who’s wholesome and unpretentious! A breath of FRESH air, not stagnant stench filled dirty air. Light hated by the Dark; Jesus lived this reality and so has Clark!
Her being catholic has NOTHING to do with it. How do you know how anybody hair smells? YOU PUT A "STAGNENT STENCH" on her when you threw the catholic in the mix. FOH
Caitlin loves basketball. No matter how tough it gets, she keeps on going. She does get angry when someone causes her to fall, but the anger only lasts a couple of minutes. Then is back to playing to win.
I have given up on expecting the WNBA to make sense, but I will enjoy watching CC while I can. Awful Coaching is the only youtube channel worth watching for WNBA coverage. I couldn't care less about the playoffs or who wins what. Everything about this season will be tainted forever.
I haven't seen this particular poster floating around the Internet yet, but there are a couple others that have Clark front and center. It's just one of many promo posters that includes one player from each team in the playoffs. For the Fever, they could have used any one of Mitchell, Boston, Clark, or Hull. They've all been hot during the second half. Mitchell is a 6 year veteran who was fairly consistent all year long, so she deserves a spot in the limelight for once. Clark will make plenty of posters like this over the next 10-15 years. As for subbing key players, you could also argue that Diggins-Smith and Copper got snubbed in the Mercury frame. Both had better seasons overall than Griner.
It has to be something more. I don't know who came up with the promotion, but leaving CC off it is inexcusable. The entire department should be fired. The whole reason that the W is doing as well as it is this year is CC and the Fever. What is wrong with you people? Leaving off the ROY and the possible MVP? Are you insane?
I wouldn’t read to much into that poster ,Kelsey Mitchell is well deserved to be on there with some excellent stats of her own , and I’m sure CC would encourage everyone to support Kelsey’s achievements just a she would any player
There’s no way it could be an oversight, unless the WNBA doesn’t follow their own players and teams-an absurd thought, so what is it?? Is it that the people who have the POWER to make those decisions get a sick pleasure out of disrespecting this truly phenomenal new player? Their OWN phenomenal player? SICK!
marketing has a lot to do with it whoever marketed Caitlin did a piss poor job. I guess what I’m saying is she could leave tomorrow and the WNBA would shut down. Now she has a much better point guard statistic and some NBA players. It would be very funny if an owner got this brainstorm and decided to take her on for two years or three years at a contract multimillion dollar and left the WNBA.. boy would they be scrambling trying to figure out how we’re gonna save the WNBA now what can we do? What should we do? Caitlin is leaving for the NBA. Kind of makes you think with all the unfair treatment that she has gotten if I was in the WNBA I’d be very thankful to have somebody like Caitlin knowing that she’s gonna turn our league around. I think these girls need to pause this year and maybe reflect on what has happened even if it takes a group of them to say we’re not treating Caitlin fairly today’s the day or we’re gonna lose her.
Fans will design a better poster with her on it. CC has the world in her hand. But she is just happy to play ball. Outside she humble. When it's game time "get the F$#@ out her way."
🏀🏀🏀I honestly think Nike should renegotiate Caitlin's shoe/apparel deal and make it Michael Jordan-esque at $50 million dollars...AND have Gatorade dust off the old "Be Like Mike" commercial...and edit it to show Caitlin....that would be some serious 🔥🔥🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀
The WNBA needs to change its neglect of reality. CC is not just a basketball player; she is a commodity that the WNBA must promote at every opportunity. When is the WNBA going to wake up?
This year, there was a big change in women's basketball world. Over the years, first, there was Cheryl Miller, and nothing until 2024. Just giving credit where it is deserved.
Kayla Clark need to worry about Caitlin Clark and buying her business when it come to the other players...,. Craigslist got fired because they didn't want to get into it with her over Labor relations for the other players......... Take care of Caitlin Clark and don't worry about the rest........
I think Clark ought to leave the WNBA for a season or 3 in Europe maybe or Canada(?) and see how mundane it gets once again. No more sold out arenas no more chartered planes just sorry ole wnba. THEN come back and see if it sparks back up!!
You know who doesn't care about any of the BS drama? Caitlin Clark. She just wants to have fun and do her best. And she's probably quite happy for Kelsey Mitchell to get the attention.
After following the WNBA for a year now, even if Clark comes back next year, I am so turned off by the racist, selfish players, league management and Cheryl Reeves and Chennedy Carter that I won't be back next year. It is a black league run by and for black players. White, diverse players not wanted. The refs aren't even qualified to ref in junior high games.
I truly believe that Ms. C/C should finish the post-season, and should consider going to play overseas! Basketball is bigger over there and it’s not TOXIC, with JEALOUSY, DEI etc…that is in the wnba!
When a person is racist, racism is the number one thing this person’s life. Is incredible that WNBA is not paying attention to a person that sold out all the jerseys, sold out all the seats in the arena, anything with her name is sold out and still they are trying to humiliate Caitlin Clark. You know what soccer team Inter Miami did with Messi and the move came 100% business, how I wish that a country like France or Spain where they have good female basketball make a move like the Inter Miami And Caitlin Clark take all her business there!
By every measurable metric Clark is the common denominator. The W knows Clark is the draw but refuses to acknowledge it. After this season they won't be able to.
If the Fever are not playing I won't be watching . Time for the WNBA to clean house bottom to top, getting left behind is a traditional mindset of the WNBA and the times have changed .
I do believe the absence is intentional from the WNBA who have treated her as a pariah from her entrance into the league. All of the players on the cover are not rookies and that is their only excuse. Very sad. But not unexpected.
By leaving Caitlin out of the advertising the league looks BAD ! If not for her this season there wouldn’t be as many fans watching. Correct this NOW .
The WNBA, players, coaches, officials, and even the commissioner, have made it perfectly clear that they don’t want Clark in the league!!!!! Caitlin should take her talents overseas where she would be appreciated for her contributions and skills. She would probably also extend her career by avoiding all the violent targeting by immature, jealous, veteran WNBA players who feel threatened by her!!!

If the Fever are knocked out in the first round, watch the drop off in views and attendance. That alone will tell a significant story.
And watch CC games get more views than the finals
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WNBA IF CLARK IS OUT BACK TO ZERO
@@felixarcangel2558 She should have played in the big 3
I totally agree. I'm gonna quit watching.👎👎
Then the WNBA will scramble to make their brilliant promotions… and not get the audience.
This is just sickening we all know what's going on here I never watched a WNBA game in my life until CC and mostly nobody else has either
facts x 2222222
I only watch CC22’s games
Clark is going to be extremely rich and famous with or without the WNBA. Clark will be able to buy a team or the whole league if she wants.
Let's be real. Clark doesn't need the league to promote her. She has jumped the shark she is the needle. This league is too dumb to call out. They don't know what the hell they are doing.

Same.
WNBA is in trouble if CC leaves and goes to Europe or joins a competing league.
Absolutely, they'll be crying over pennies.
Agree with that. Just hoping Caitlyn won't do it
I’m hoping she does. They don’t deserve her
She won't do that
im prayin fot that 4 real 🙌🙌

This WILL be FIRE in her belly
Their doing this to create more buzz so people can continue to talk about it, get the attentions of everyone
More often than not, though, getting the attention of everyone for the wrong/negative reasons ends up being destructive.
I am ok with KM on the promo. But you can make better by putting 2 or 3 stars on a square instead of one, making everyone happy.
Catlin should play for an organization that appreciates her. The WNBA should rename itself the Black WNBA.
THE QUEER BLACK WNBA
WNBA needs Caitlin more than Caitlin needs the WNBA.
She can play Basketball elsewhere, and be appreciated.

Go over sees C.C stop playing for the wnba let them suffer. Fans will follow you anywhere.
You know cc can go to the big 3 and a have a really nice contract you if she does that the wnba will loose all those eyes jersey sales and attendance

The poster is not about gratitude or gifting something. As per their criteria, it isn't.
If Mitchell had the same exact stats as Caitlin's, if Mitchell attracted such massive crowds, then yes, by all means, she should be there. But she hasn't and she doesn't.
Would the Fever be in the playoffs without CC?? If they had drafted anyone else (Angel Reese let’s say) with their first round pick, would they be in the playoffs?? I don’t think sooo. AR and the Chicago Thugs are watching the playoffs from home
WNBA knows what it's doing here. People wouldn't talk about the poster if she was on it
Geno the Hindsight from UConn got one thing RIGHT; Caitlin Clark has a huge target on her back; she’s NOT Black or Lesbian! Clark doesn’t fit the WNBA: she’s ALL WOMAN! She’s stable as a human and not delusionally pretending to be something else. A Catholic extremely gifted young woman who’s wholesome and unpretentious! A breath of FRESH air, not stagnant stench filled dirty air. Light hated by the Dark; Jesus lived this reality and so has Clark!
Geno ran his mouth but he went real quiet after CC crammed his foot in it.
Her being catholic has NOTHING to do with it. How do you know how anybody hair smells? YOU PUT A "STAGNENT STENCH" on her when you threw the catholic in the mix. FOH
I think she is demonstrating a level of maturity above the petty politics of the media! Which is amazing and Must be most disappointing for them 😂
Biting the hand that feed WNBA
Caitlin loves basketball. No matter how tough it gets, she keeps on going. She does get angry when someone causes her to fall, but the anger only lasts a couple of minutes. Then is back to playing to win.
I have given up on expecting the WNBA to make sense, but I will enjoy watching CC while I can. Awful Coaching is the only youtube channel worth watching for WNBA coverage. I couldn't care less about the playoffs or who wins what. Everything about this season will be tainted forever.
I haven't seen this particular poster floating around the Internet yet, but there are a couple others that have Clark front and center. It's just one of many promo posters that includes one player from each team in the playoffs. For the Fever, they could have used any one of Mitchell, Boston, Clark, or Hull. They've all been hot during the second half. Mitchell is a 6 year veteran who was fairly consistent all year long, so she deserves a spot in the limelight for once. Clark will make plenty of posters like this over the next 10-15 years. As for subbing key players, you could also argue that Diggins-Smith and Copper got snubbed in the Mercury frame. Both had better seasons overall than Griner.
It has to be something more. I don't know who came up with the promotion, but leaving CC off it is inexcusable. The entire department should be fired. The whole reason that the W is doing as well as it is this year is CC and the Fever. What is wrong with you people? Leaving off the ROY and the possible MVP? Are you insane?
I wouldn’t read to much into that poster ,Kelsey Mitchell is well deserved to be on there with some excellent stats of her own , and I’m sure CC would encourage everyone to support Kelsey’s achievements just a she would any player
It's called jealousy, jealousy, jealously and hatred...
There’s no way it could be an oversight, unless the WNBA doesn’t follow their own players and teams-an absurd thought, so what is it?? Is it that the people who have the POWER to make those decisions get a sick pleasure out of disrespecting this truly phenomenal new player? Their OWN phenomenal player? SICK!
Caitlin is too good of a person to respond. Let's boycott every game that Caitlin doesn't play in. Then we'll see how the archaic W responds?
she should have gotten a piece of the pie from ticket sales..that would have really pissed off the haters
I have grandchildren older than Caitlin, but Caitlin is my hero!
Long shot, but I’m praying the Fever win it all.
marketing has a lot to do with it whoever marketed Caitlin did a piss poor job. I guess what I’m saying is she could leave tomorrow and the WNBA would shut down. Now she has a much better point guard statistic and some NBA players. It would be very funny if an owner got this brainstorm and decided to take her on for two years or three years at a contract multimillion dollar and left the WNBA.. boy would they be scrambling trying to figure out how we’re gonna save the WNBA now what can we do? What should we do? Caitlin is leaving for the NBA. Kind of makes you think with all the unfair treatment that she has gotten if I was in the WNBA I’d be very thankful to have somebody like Caitlin knowing that she’s gonna turn our league around. I think these girls need to pause this year and maybe reflect on what has happened even if it takes a group of them to say we’re not treating Caitlin fairly today’s the day or we’re gonna lose her.
Fans will design a better poster with her on it. CC has the world in her hand. But she is just happy to play ball. Outside she humble. When it's game time "get the F$#@ out her way."
🏀🏀🏀I honestly think Nike should renegotiate Caitlin's shoe/apparel deal and make it Michael Jordan-esque at $50 million dollars...AND have Gatorade dust off the old "Be Like Mike" commercial...and edit it to show Caitlin....that would be some serious 🔥🔥🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀
The WNBA needs to change its neglect of reality. CC is not just a basketball player; she is a commodity that the WNBA must promote at every opportunity. When is the WNBA going to wake up?
This year, there was a big change in women's basketball world. Over the years, first, there was Cheryl Miller, and nothing until 2024. Just giving credit where it is deserved.
Kayla Clark need to worry about Caitlin Clark and buying her business when it come to the other players...,. Craigslist got fired because they didn't want to get into it with her over Labor relations for the other players......... Take care of Caitlin Clark and don't worry about the rest........
The most talked about/biggest stars should have been on that poster. CC should have been on it either way.
BOYCOTT
We done...
Light brights out...
I think Clark ought to leave the WNBA for a season or 3 in Europe maybe or Canada(?) and see how mundane it gets once again. No more sold out arenas no more chartered planes just sorry ole wnba. THEN come back and see if it sparks back up!!
You know who doesn't care about any of the BS drama? Caitlin Clark. She just wants to have fun and do her best. And she's probably quite happy for Kelsey Mitchell to get the attention.
Gotcha!!! Made y'all look 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Your training is complete.
After following the WNBA for a year now, even if Clark comes back next year, I am so turned off by the racist, selfish players, league management and Cheryl Reeves and Chennedy Carter that I won't be back next year. It is a black league run by and for black players. White, diverse players not wanted. The refs aren't even qualified to ref in junior high games.
I truly believe that Ms. C/C should finish the post-season, and should consider going to play overseas! Basketball is bigger over there and it’s not TOXIC, with JEALOUSY, DEI etc…that is in the wnba!
Leaving Caitlin off is a snub, and it will not end well for the WNBA.
Time for a professional league for women's basketball. This middle school drama league is not up to professionalism; they are too petty..
It is not an oversight. Anybody with an ounce of reality sees it for what it is.
I don’t think the WNBA realizes we don’t watch anyone except CC22!!! If she’s ain’t playing I ain’t watchen❤
When a person is racist, racism is the number one thing this person’s life.
Is incredible that WNBA is not paying attention to a person that sold out all the jerseys, sold out all the seats in the arena, anything with her name is sold out and still they are trying to humiliate Caitlin Clark.
You know what soccer team Inter Miami did with Messi and the move came 100% business, how I wish that a country like France or Spain where they have good female basketball make a move like the Inter Miami And Caitlin Clark take all her business there!
imagine when the time for us team comes her saying I dont feel comfortable in the team like Arike said....
She's fun to watch, she's not arrogant and the rest of the WNBA is not fun to watch and boy are they arrogant, enough said.
just to prove a point, Caitlin Clark should play in Europe from next season and see what happens to the WNBA
By every measurable metric Clark is the common denominator. The W knows Clark is the draw but refuses to acknowledge it. After this season they won't be able to.
If the Fever are not playing I won't be watching . Time for the WNBA to clean house bottom to top, getting left behind is a traditional mindset of the WNBA and the times have changed .
Not surperising since she was left off the Olympics roster!
CHERYL Reece is on the WNBA MARKETING COMMITTEE. This League is more than 1 player.
I do believe the absence is intentional from the WNBA who have treated her as a pariah from her entrance into the league. All of the players on the cover are not rookies and that is their only excuse. Very sad. But not unexpected.
We all know who the adults are in the room.
I quit watching basketball after Michael Jordan left, I've started watching because of Caitlin Clark
If Caitlin goes so will most of the fans.
By leaving Caitlin out of the advertising the league looks BAD ! If not for her this season there wouldn’t be as many fans watching. Correct this NOW .
If the NBA controlled the WNBA. Marketing would be so much different. And Clark would be global already
What are you talking about😅😂she's already GLOBAL
I love seeing Mitchell get deserved attention , but I don’t like the true reason that CC is not on the promo. Lot of evil in this league and media
CC needs to play for a league that will pay much better and for the talent that she brings to the table.
WNBA player salaries are going to go up thanks largely to CC. It's the upside-down woke world we live in.
There are SOME women in the WNBA that love CC, it's her teammates!
ION's promos ignore her as well....the one clip they have of her is her standing behind Angel Reese.....implying she's inferior to Reese
The WNBA, players, coaches, officials, and even the commissioner, have made it perfectly clear that they don’t want Clark in the league!!!!! Caitlin should take her talents overseas where she would be appreciated for her contributions and skills. She would probably also extend her career by avoiding all the violent targeting by immature, jealous, veteran WNBA players who feel threatened by her!!!
