Let her go overseas or let you and other buy the wnba from the nba so they can used that 10 million a yr to 16 yr boys who is alot better than her and the wnba
We need to get rid of some of the old toxic player out of the the WNBA and replace them with the new generation of talent that’s gonna take the game to the next level
If I’m the WNBA owner, I meet these people and said we need to change the game with Kaitlyn Clark and our new generation of talent coming in and ride that wave all the way to the bank 💯💥💥💥💥
The wnba should be thanking God for this upcoming draft class because they will bring people to the game and will make them money. They didnt get it done they need to make room for this class that will
You think the top 5 players aren’t more entertaining? Sure logically you will say the top 5 is more entertaining… that being said CC Was the BEST in WCBB she won’t Be Top 5 In WNBA THEREFORE the world is not interested even more when the world see CC is not top 5 wnba player
Jealousy is just one thing that is hurting the WNBA . The other is some players advocating for men to play in girls and womens sports and someday trans will infiltrate the WNBA too . When that happens the wnba is done .
Wnba doesn't have the revenue to pay more. You need the revenue and money to pay more......and go right ahead, play overseas, but you best avoid Russia. We aren't doing that ish again.
We must cease the incessant comparisons with the NBA as they are unproductive. Instead, let's address the crux of the matter: the league itself. Consider this: the WNBA Finals garnered 700K viewers, while the NCAA finals between Iowa and South Carolina peaked at a staggering 24 MILLION, with an average of 18 MILLION viewers. This glaring contrast begs the question: what is the real issue at hand? It's evident that the WNBA desperately needs a makeover in its image and brand perception. Too often, players resort to brash remarks in interviews, criticizing league salaries offering constructive solutions. There's a pressing need for expansion, a more robust marketing strategy focusing on the league's stars, and comprehensive PR training for players. The priority should be laser-focused on basketball, ensuring the product's quality and appeal. Taking a stance on societal issues is important, but the WNBA currently lacks the necessary leverage to effect meaningful change. Unlike the NBA, which spent decades fortifying its image before diving into social advocacy, the WNBA is in a nascent stage. This is a pivotal moment for women's basketball, with unprecedented opportunities for growth. Failure to capitalize on this moment could set the league back significantly, relegating it to a cycle of seeking attention rather than highlighting the quality of its product.
The only people who like to listen to people whine like liberals are liberals. One of the problems of the WNBA IS political whining : stick to commenting on the sport. Cognitive reflex is to turn the channel away from someone you're used to hearing whine.
@@calibearplayer3398They don’t understand that the way that happens (getting more money) is by the league becoming more profitable (or profitable at all). And the way it can possibly become more profitable is if they push girls like Caitlin, JuJu, Angel, etc. and creating something that fans will want to watch. To put it simply, they need the same people that watched the women’s ncaa tournament to watch the wnba. But these girls that are already in the wnba are letting their jealousy cloud their judgement. But it wouldn’t be the first time they brushed off something that could’ve helped their league. Remember when multiple nba players suggested they lower the hoop so that they could start dunking, and the wnba players shot it down? Same type of thing here. They’re their own worst enemy.
The difference with CC is this: I'm italian, living in Italy and I've heard of her. I'm not even into basketball. I watch football (soccer) sometimes volleyball and the olympic games
If anyone is wondering, one reason the 1970s of the NBA aren’t talked about is because of drug use/addiction in the league at the time. David Stern really cleaned up the league and made it marketable to the world.
@@xylynthian753 I know nothing about the WNBA other than the shade they have cast on mostly CC and I guess the criticism that many cast on that league. After watching a pretty compelling MM for the ladies, I hope the W can catch a beneficial tailwind and improve the WNBA game.

screen cap this in 15 years, she will have captured 3 WNBA rings and have won multiple (at least 2) MVP's and perhaps 1x DPOY award as well. Calling it now, she will finish her pro career as a top 5 all time to ever play the game in women's ball. She will live up to the hype, and even potentially and some. Her shooting is that good. You guys have to remember, she is only going to get better as she develops her game. She won't slow down until her late 20's, and she's already entering the league as a solid contributor. I have high hopes, barring any set backs like injuries or personal motivations which based on her personality she is very driven and competitive and has a great family support system.
😂 you think the wnba is lasting another 15 years. Oh that's a good one. They tried to separate from the NBA and it's backing recently, if the NBA gets tired of their inflated egos the league crashes in less than 3 more years.

@@shanaeverowe9626 it’s been a league since 1996 you egg. They can def survive for another 15 years especially with higher competitive play coming into the league

She has the entire state of Iowa supporting her even Cyclones like me . She’s a phenom. Tiger Woods type shock and awe. She played in the football stadium this fall Mark my words she will make veterans look stupid just like Larry Bird did. She beats them with her mind!!!
I have never watched a woman's basketball game in my life but I did watch Iowa in the NCAA woman's tournament.. she is one person that I would like to a autograph from
I used to work in a progressive bar in West Hollywood CA. The WNBA players would come in and give out free tickets to the WNBA games. Even the progressive (ie: gay) women didn't want the free tickets. Next time you pay $400 to sit in the nosebleeds at an NBA game, just remember part of that ticket price goes to pay the salaries of the WNBA players. What a joke ...
Your political outlook has (or should have, in a healthy person) no bearing on whether someone enjoys sports, let alone to the point of dragging their ass through traffic to sit in an environment they don't enjoy anyway. So I'm not sure what your point is, beyond a cheap attempt to throw shade.
Idk about you but most gay people aren't politically left or right. It's just that the main parties decided that being gay meant left wing. Why should gay people feel obliged to go? For political reasons? That's weird.
@freshcutgrass isn't it a $5 mil offer. That would be a bad move. The WNBA move will drive her stock even higher. Her endorsements will surpass that offer.
@Redridge07 I believe another rapper added an additional 5mil to Cubes 5mil. Yeah I guess she's banking anyway she goes. I hope she becomes an Olympian too.
She looks normal, acts normal, and play instead of talking crap, on top of that she is competing in a sea of mediocrity.. of course they hate her she proves what we have said , you need to play well to get the views not talk crap about the men who are subsidizing your existence.. its obvious ppl a re watching to watch her play and dunk on the toxic karens
She passed on $10 million to play in the WNBA for $76,000 a year? Damn I feel bad for her that you love a sport that much and do so much for it but the people in charge don’t think you’re worth it at all and you still choose them.
with her endorsements she's not hurting at all. It was a business move to get in on the WNBA and if the league could stop throwing tantrums because she doesn't fit the DEI standards it's a win win situation for everyone.
The jealousy of older players actually makes for a more interesting storyline- now folks who have never watched a WNBA game may actually tune in to see if Caitlin Clark can prove them wrong. I think the jealousy is just 4-D chess.
I hope Caitlin destroys the wnba this year because these haters need to relax and enjoy the ride this year watch the ratings rise because of her. I wish her well and stay safe.
If I ran the Fever, I'd cut everyone and draft 10 rookies. Completely start over with the right attitude. And don't tell me five 22 year old women's basketball players can't beat a veteran WNBA team. Dayum .. my local high school could give the WNBA a run for their money. Watching these prima donna athletes who THINK they deserve more money yet they can't fill a stadium is a joke. Watching them cut off their lifeline out of spite? Priceless...
ironically though, taurasi and swoopes dismissing caitlin has made me more hyped to see her get to the wnba and make these crusty, hating ass old heads eat their words lol. and i'm sure many others feel the same way.
I don’t believe they’re hating on her. However, the way new generation set is set up everything is hating. All baby girl gotta do is show up and kick the W’s ass🤷🏿♂️ most of them are speaking on their experiences and she can shut it all down.
Let's get to the facts using an actual supreme basketball talent. Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Ms. Clark is bringing eyes to the game, but why? What is she doing that is so spectacular? People that actually watch women's basketball see good talent. Diana Taurasi, Sheryl Swoopes or Cheryl Miller type talent, no. Ms. Clark broke the men's and women's scoring record at the college level. That includes what Mr. Jordan scored at UNC. But it's not playing ability that we can compare Mr. Jordan and Ms. Clark but attention and popularity. The big accolade for Ms. Clark is not her performance on the court as a pro, but the attention she brings from the amateur ranks to the pro ranks. The very tops in basketball popularity in the world in the past 30 years is Mr. Jordan. When Mr. Jordan came out of retirement and signed with the Washington Wizard's he had a known body of work in professional basketball, having won six NBA titles. Mr. Jordan is the reason the Wizards sold out home games for three seasons. His popularity was unmatched. Yet, with all the increased eyes on the Wizard's and more money coming in via ticket sales, Washington never won a playoff game with Mr. Jordan. Jordan was the biggest name in basketball. But the popularity didn't change anything on the court for the Wizards. People are citing popularity of Ms. Clark, not realizing her talent level doesn't yet match the perceived greatness that was afforded to her in college. The NBA comparison is Victor Wembanyama. Most people expect him to be an exceptional talent in a few years. No one is expecting him to outclass, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic or Kevin Durant in his rookie year and make San Antonio a title contender as a rookie or even enxt year. But somehow people under estimate WNBA talent and expect a potential title run, or close to it, from a player that never won an NCAA title. Breanna Stewart came into the league with four NCAA titles. So the reality is people are expecting way too much from a rookie and using the comparison with one of the best and another rookie with more potential clearly highlights the expectations are not realistic. Let Ms. Clark learn and grow. The Media hype and popularity is not going to change reality on the court any more than it changed Mr. Jordan's chances of winning titles at Washington. But with Ms. Clark, there is time for growth and experience. And that is gained over time with hard work, not with excitement or imagination. The only thing Ms. Clark has exposed is US misogyny in women sports. Many of the same thiings that the women's US Soccer team has expressed and many of the same thing that other established WNBA players have already expressed. Why people chose to only listen or watch after Ms. Clark is not the fault of Ms. Clark or other's that came before her with greater skill. It just reflects the priorities of media and the general US public.
IF and it's a Big If, Caitlin Passes on the W, they'll say "Good, We Glad That Bish Gone.......Followed by, "What do y'all mean the league is Finished, and we gotta go Overseas permanently, or Get Real Jobs??? We Legends N Sh-tuff! Wasn't y'all listening when we told y'all how Magnificent We are??? What they turn the lights out for?"
The WNBA and their players need to be more grateful to Clark and the next generation of players that's coming with her. This woman denied a 5 million deal to play in the WNBA.
She's literally the exact lifeline the WNBA has needed for decades and the moment she gets into the league she's treated with nothing but contempt and jealousy. Seems like the main reasons the WNBA has never had success is because of boring games and extremely oblivious but entitled players.
This is a PRIME example of women's hatred for each other. Its hilarious to watch in real time. Like they can't help themselves! 😭😭 thinking with No logic... All emotions.. They could all benefit from this Rookie but the HATE....the hate is just tooooo GREAT with women. 💀🤣💀🤣
Inability to Discuss Reality (Distinctive Cultural Aspect #1 + Distinctive Cultural Aspect #2) + Lack of Awareness + Unrealistic Expectations + Jealousy = Failed Business Model. Caitlin Clark won't be the one to turn this around as they will freeze her out socially and literally. This situation is no different than when Mark Eaton (GRHS) said that Michael Jordan would never be able to carry a team.... He was right, but MJ could lead a team, and he did... I wish Caitlin the best of luck working with DCA#1 and DCA#2 .
It's worth pointing out that it is in no way surprising that the women's ncaa championship game had higher viewership than the men's. A large part of that is Caitlyn Clark. Another part is that the women's game was played on a Sunday afternoon (I think like a 4pm eastern tip off). The men's game was played the following day, MONDAY AT 9:20 PM WHAT ARE YOU DOING. A weeknight 9:20 est tip off for a game with two teams from the eastern time zone is insane.
I think there are two things going on here. The WNBA was on the rise before CC, but now she's being attached to the narrative of its rise, when in reality the rise has more to do with the massive rise in sports gambling. There just isn't enough men's professional sports to satiate the gaming industry. The media is generating a lot of this beef to drum up interest and keep people gambling, when the reality is that beefs happen all the time, but suddenly now everyone is interested because of this new play the media has told you to be interested in, and "the black lesbians are jealous of the pretty straight white girl." I don't know if they actually are jealous, but its not different from oldheads in the NBA resenting the new talent making more than them, I'd be pissed too if I was making $200K a year and suddenly there were dudes getting $100 million contracts.
There would probably not be a market for a second guy's league that played in the summer. Having a women's league at the same time and expecting it to succeed is confusing. Maybe I'm missing something. Katilyn has played during basketball season. I don't think her playing in the summer is going to draw people away from baseball and other summer activities.
im saying that all the last season long. WNBA ""stars"" are so jelaous on her, and im afraid,because women are like that, that someone will injury her.
She's never say anything negative or mean !! When she plays she's just like a normal person unbelievably unselfish person why are others trying to bring her down to their level of mudslinging
The sole reason that the Kardashian family is wealthy is the fact that millions of women across this country will flock to TVs to watch them have lunch. If those same women simply watched the wnba, the players would make more money.
Literally wnba doesn’t deserve the recognization of an organization like the NBA if they don’t accept Caitlin Clark as one of the best who could literally make their organization big
i’m not trying to discount caitlyn but i think the main reason the women’s tourney was bigger than the men’s this year is because this years nba draft is the worst in decades. no one in the draft is a game changer
Someone give em a reality show if they wanna be that openly dismissive of the only thing having a dude even consider checking out girls hooping. She should win MVP, Rookie of the Year, & win a ring all in a year, and then dip for BIG 3. Tell em they had their chance and now they can continue to make more than they deserve as far as entertainment value.
They better not do that young lady like that. They should embrace that girl. They know they down bad and wrong if they don’t. She young, talented and doing right and she finished college. We can’t afford to do our young people that are out here doing right like that. We got to help them and encourage them.
They don’t like her because men like her. They like watching her and they are jealous. They don’t realize they’re hurting their own bag by doing this petty nonsense.
Honestly I’ve come all the way around and realized this reaction by the players is good for Clark. She needs a heel for the entertainment value to stay high since so few players are as good as her. The whole league is her heel right now. There’s gonna be a quote from every team she faces that makes it worth tuning in to see her make them eat their words
They just don’t want to accept she’s the person to take the wnba to a new level. Kinda like Jordan did after bird and magic. But it’s not just her I heard they were hating on angel and the new class too.
Like Taylor Swift always say “ haters gonna hate, hate, hate. I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake. Shake it off, shake it off” the same can be applied to Caitlin Clark. The WNBA, the women who are in it, and the entire league may hate her, she’s just gonna shake all that hate off. She should enter the league with that type of attitude, that they can’t get under her thick skin or try to throw her off of her game. Just give her 4 or 5 years, then she will win a championship.
It’s because she’s a normal white chick, nothing crazy about her ., genuine person and I feel the league doesn’t like that , weird world we’re living in
See how women turn on each other. Women watch the Kardashians and Housewives. They do not watch the WNBA. They be hating on a talented player. Rather than praising her. Watching the NBA, is like watching a professional UFA fighting match. Watching the WNBA, is like watching a kindergarten wrestling match.
They complain that no one‘s watching they finally get people to watch because of Kaitlyn and now they’re complaining again geez talk about your miserable people.
Caltin Clark made be a basketball fan again! I stopped watching basketball when Kobe died. It was just too hard. Shehas made me enjoy basketball again.

She looks normal, acts normal, and play instead of talking crap, on top of that she is competing in a sea of mediocrity.. of course they hate her she proves what we have said , you need to play well to get the views not talk crap about the men who are subsidizing your existence.. its obvious ppl a re watching to watch her play and dunk on the toxic karens
They finally have a charismatic figure with whom people can be interested in watching WNBA. And they criticize it?
Women 🤣☕
i dont even like basketball but i know who caitlyn clark is. she IS the wnba, she deserves respect
She passed on $10 million to play in the WNBA for $76,000 a year? Damn I feel bad for her that you love a sport that much and do so much for it but the people in charge don’t think you’re worth it at all and you still choose them.
with her endorsements she's not hurting at all. It was a business move to get in on the WNBA and if the league could stop throwing tantrums because she doesn't fit the DEI standards it's a win win situation for everyone.
The hate this woman gets is outrageous
She didnt revive the sport she brought life to it 😆
The players are throwing mad hate. It reeks of jealousy. Pathetic
Women, sabotaging themselves, is hilarious.
Women themselves have always been jealous of each other in sports or not men always complement each other
It's that energy that makes Real Housewives so popular.
@@Datfalconfanthis is sucha lie its actually crazy 😭😭😭😭😭
@@runa_7022 Ok lil bro keep lying to yourself
I watched 5 minutes of the wnba once. That was enough.
I hope CC tells the wbna to fro.
That salary is too low.
The bitter and boring social justice warriors plaguing the WNBA need to go away.
The jealousy of older players actually makes for a more interesting storyline- now folks who have never watched a WNBA game may actually tune in to see if Caitlin Clark can prove them wrong. I think the jealousy is just 4-D chess.
CC is going to be the reason why people watch WNBA. I know no one who watched women’s college basketball before this year.
I think if there were more girls that are as good as her the WNBA would be more popular
I hope Caitlin destroys the wnba this year because these haters need to relax and enjoy the ride this year watch the ratings rise because of her. I wish her well and stay safe.
If I ran the Fever, I'd cut everyone and draft 10 rookies. Completely start over with the right attitude. And don't tell me five 22 year old women's basketball players can't beat a veteran WNBA team. Dayum .. my local high school could give the WNBA a run for their money. Watching these prima donna athletes who THINK they deserve more money yet they can't fill a stadium is a joke. Watching them cut off their lifeline out of spite? Priceless...
I've never seen a league more determined to fumble the moment
Caitlin work hard to make this far and if she can do good for the WNBA they should welcome that!
ironically though, taurasi and swoopes dismissing caitlin has made me more hyped to see her get to the wnba and make these crusty, hating ass old heads eat their words lol. and i'm sure many others feel the same way.
I don’t believe they’re hating on her. However, the way new generation set is set up everything is hating. All baby girl gotta do is show up and kick the W’s ass🤷🏿♂️ most of them are speaking on their experiences and she can shut it all down.
The WNBA is hating because they’re mad Clark came in on day one took all the sponsorships all the brand deals and they got nothing 😂
I watched the Liberty game and the whole Fever team looked off, now I see why.
She's the only reason why id watch WNBA
Let's get to the facts using an actual supreme basketball talent. Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Ms. Clark is bringing eyes to the game, but why? What is she doing that is so spectacular? People that actually watch women's basketball see good talent. Diana Taurasi, Sheryl Swoopes or Cheryl Miller type talent, no. Ms. Clark broke the men's and women's scoring record at the college level. That includes what Mr. Jordan scored at UNC. But it's not playing ability that we can compare Mr. Jordan and Ms. Clark but attention and popularity. The big accolade for Ms. Clark is not her performance on the court as a pro, but the attention she brings from the amateur ranks to the pro ranks.
The very tops in basketball popularity in the world in the past 30 years is Mr. Jordan. When Mr. Jordan came out of retirement and signed with the Washington Wizard's he had a known body of work in professional basketball, having won six NBA titles. Mr. Jordan is the reason the Wizards sold out home games for three seasons. His popularity was unmatched. Yet, with all the increased eyes on the Wizard's and more money coming in via ticket sales, Washington never won a playoff game with Mr. Jordan. Jordan was the biggest name in basketball. But the popularity didn't change anything on the court for the Wizards. People are citing popularity of Ms. Clark, not realizing her talent level doesn't yet match the perceived greatness that was afforded to her in college. The NBA comparison is Victor Wembanyama. Most people expect him to be an exceptional talent in a few years. No one is expecting him to outclass, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic or Kevin Durant in his rookie year and make San Antonio a title contender as a rookie or even enxt year. But somehow people under estimate WNBA talent and expect a potential title run, or close to it, from a player that never won an NCAA title. Breanna Stewart came into the league with four NCAA titles. So the reality is people are expecting way too much from a rookie and using the comparison with one of the best and another rookie with more potential clearly highlights the expectations are not realistic. Let Ms. Clark learn and grow. The Media hype and popularity is not going to change reality on the court any more than it changed Mr. Jordan's chances of winning titles at Washington. But with Ms. Clark, there is time for growth and experience. And that is gained over time with hard work, not with excitement or imagination. The only thing Ms. Clark has exposed is US misogyny in women sports. Many of the same thiings that the women's US Soccer team has expressed and many of the same thing that other established WNBA players have already expressed. Why people chose to only listen or watch after Ms. Clark is not the fault of Ms. Clark or other's that came before her with greater skill. It just reflects the priorities of media and the general US public.
Caitlin Clark has made watching basketball fun again. Between her, Angel, Aliyah. I can't wait for the season to begin!!!
if i was her i DO one year to prove i could , and then LEAVE to a new country and watcht he wnba fall apart
I think all this controversy good or bad is gonna help in the WNBA long run. I'm pretty sure they are loving all the attention they are receiving
The WNBA has gotten its Larry Bird moment, and they're squandering it.
Greatness she is.. God gave her awesome gift.. Go Clark.. keep on Glowing with greatness..🎉
Narcissists can't share the glory
IF and it's a Big If, Caitlin Passes on the W, they'll say "Good, We Glad That Bish Gone.......Followed by, "What do y'all mean the league is Finished, and we gotta go Overseas permanently, or Get Real Jobs??? We Legends N Sh-tuff! Wasn't y'all listening when we told y'all how Magnificent We are??? What they turn the lights out for?"
The WNBA and their players need to be more grateful to Clark and the next generation of players that's coming with her. This woman denied a 5 million deal to play in the WNBA.
They just jealous because she's actually good and got a deal
She's literally the exact lifeline the WNBA has needed for decades and the moment she gets into the league she's treated with nothing but contempt and jealousy. Seems like the main reasons the WNBA has never had success is because of boring games and extremely oblivious but entitled players.
This is a PRIME example of women's hatred for each other. Its hilarious to watch in real time. Like they can't help themselves! 😭😭 thinking with No logic... All emotions.. They could all benefit from this Rookie but the HATE....the hate is just tooooo GREAT with women. 💀🤣💀🤣
Yeah it was coast to coast with magic and Byrd then came Michael in the Middle😋
No one ever mentions the fact she led a team that had no top recruits.
Inability to Discuss Reality (Distinctive Cultural Aspect #1 + Distinctive Cultural Aspect #2) + Lack of Awareness + Unrealistic Expectations + Jealousy = Failed Business Model. Caitlin Clark won't be the one to turn this around as they will freeze her out socially and literally. This situation is no different than when Mark Eaton (GRHS) said that Michael Jordan would never be able to carry a team.... He was right, but MJ could lead a team, and he did... I wish Caitlin the best of luck working with DCA#1 and DCA#2 .
It's worth pointing out that it is in no way surprising that the women's ncaa championship game had higher viewership than the men's. A large part of that is Caitlyn Clark.
Another part is that the women's game was played on a Sunday afternoon (I think like a 4pm eastern tip off). The men's game was played the following day, MONDAY AT 9:20 PM WHAT ARE YOU DOING. A weeknight 9:20 est tip off for a game with two teams from the eastern time zone is insane.
No matter what I don’t think that they can re create the excitement of college basketball
I think there are two things going on here. The WNBA was on the rise before CC, but now she's being attached to the narrative of its rise, when in reality the rise has more to do with the massive rise in sports gambling. There just isn't enough men's professional sports to satiate the gaming industry. The media is generating a lot of this beef to drum up interest and keep people gambling, when the reality is that beefs happen all the time, but suddenly now everyone is interested because of this new play the media has told you to be interested in, and "the black lesbians are jealous of the pretty straight white girl." I don't know if they actually are jealous, but its not different from oldheads in the NBA resenting the new talent making more than them, I'd be pissed too if I was making $200K a year and suddenly there were dudes getting $100 million contracts.
There would probably not be a market for a second guy's league that played in the summer. Having a women's league at the same time and expecting it to succeed is confusing. Maybe I'm missing something. Katilyn has played during basketball season. I don't think her playing in the summer is going to draw people away from baseball and other summer activities.
The League of Lesbians can't handle a white superstar
im saying that all the last season long. WNBA ""stars"" are so jelaous on her, and im afraid,because women are like that, that someone will injury her.
She's never say anything negative or mean !! When she plays she's just like a normal person unbelievably unselfish person why are others trying to bring her down to their level of mudslinging
Angel Reese is the goat America is proud of her stay strong Atlanta is behind you
If the jealousy is true, then this could get petty and ugly. Caitlin should be cautious and aware.
I've never wanted to watch a WNBA game before.. I'll watch CC play though definitely
Someone who is so good people want to watch her regardless of winning a championship the epitome of GOAT. No one can say anything to take that away.
The sole reason that the Kardashian family is wealthy is the fact that millions of women across this country will flock to TVs to watch them have lunch. If those same women simply watched the wnba, the players would make more money.
the wnba knows she's out of their league
Literally wnba doesn’t deserve the recognization of an organization like the NBA if they don’t accept Caitlin Clark as one of the best who could literally make their organization big
The negative character traits of wnba athletes is a big reason why ppl hate on the wnba
“Job Loss Protection” from a gambling site?? Why didn’t Jontay Porter hop on Gametime?? 🤦♂️
It’s not the WNBA fault, it’s the people that sit and say the players should get paid more but don’t support the league in anyway 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Sooo, having a preference of a player = hating/jealousy?
i’m not trying to discount caitlyn but i think the main reason the women’s tourney was bigger than the men’s this year is because this years nba draft is the worst in decades. no one in the draft is a game changer
I'm glad she upsets who she does. Miserable sods shining a light on their true selves is always a good thing.
Name one player in WNBA other than Caitlin. Nobody was interested in WNBA until she shook up the sport
Someone give em a reality show if they wanna be that openly dismissive of the only thing having a dude even consider checking out girls hooping. She should win MVP, Rookie of the Year, & win a ring all in a year, and then dip for BIG 3. Tell em they had their chance and now they can continue to make more than they deserve as far as entertainment value.
They better not do that young lady like that. They should embrace that girl. They know they down bad and wrong if they don’t. She young, talented and doing right and she finished college. We can’t afford to do our young people that are out here doing right like that. We got to help them and encourage them.
They don’t like her because men like her. They like watching her and they are jealous. They don’t realize they’re hurting their own bag by doing this petty nonsense.
WHEN DO MEN SUPPORT THE UNPROVEN "GREATEST OF ALL TIME"!? WHEN!?!?
Why did she not take ice cubes deal
Honestly I’ve come all the way around and realized this reaction by the players is good for Clark. She needs a heel for the entertainment value to stay high since so few players are as good as her. The whole league is her heel right now. There’s gonna be a quote from every team she faces that makes it worth tuning in to see her make them eat their words
They just don’t want to accept she’s the person to take the wnba to a new level. Kinda like Jordan did after bird and magic. But it’s not just her I heard they were hating on angel and the new class too.
Like Taylor Swift always say “ haters gonna hate, hate, hate. I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake. Shake it off, shake it off” the same can be applied to Caitlin Clark. The WNBA, the women who are in it, and the entire league may hate her, she’s just gonna shake all that hate off. She should enter the league with that type of attitude, that they can’t get under her thick skin or try to throw her off of her game. Just give her 4 or 5 years, then she will win a championship.
this wnba players need to realize Clark is paid way more than this rookie contract she had because of NIL
Nil went away the second she graduated college 😊 there's no more nil. That's for ncaa athletes.
@@billyyank5807The money she made from it remains tho
It’s because she’s a normal white chick, nothing crazy about her ., genuine person and I feel the league doesn’t like that , weird world we’re living in
The league needs a shake up
See how women turn on each other. Women watch the Kardashians and Housewives. They do not watch the WNBA. They be hating on a talented player. Rather than praising her. Watching the NBA, is like watching a professional UFA fighting match. Watching the WNBA, is like watching a kindergarten wrestling match.
Women bickering and putting other women down. Why are they fitting into the stereotype
They complain that no one‘s watching they finally get people to watch because of Kaitlyn and now they’re complaining again geez talk about your miserable people.
Because of her and LSU I started watching women basketball so the WNBA players need to chill
Caltin Clark made be a basketball fan again! I stopped watching basketball when Kobe died. It was just too hard. Shehas made me enjoy basketball again.
People really need to stop saying she broke pistol Pete’s record. She’s not playing men’s basketball.
Fr they need to make it separated records for women and men
And Pistol Pete wasn’t playing the same game as today. What’s your point?
