Let's face it, the WNBA and opposing teams tried to crush Caitlin and make her and her fans disappear. They scheduled the Fever 11 games in 21 days against the best teams in the league. They hazed her, roughed her up, guarded her harder than any other players, blitzed and double teamed her more than twice as much as any other player, downplayed her in the media while propping up Reese, etc. She fought through all of that and emerged from the other side as the best point guard in the league, breaking records every time she steps on the court. She's fatigued from playing for 10 straight months, but after the Olympic break and some rest for those legs, she's going to be hitting those 3's again and lighting it up!
They believe that Caitlin Clark is receiving an abundance of attention solely because the media has "elevated" her to superstar status. So they are now attempting to "elevate" other players to achieve the same level of recognition and popularity as Clark. What they fail to grasp is that Clark's popularity is not manufactured by the media. Clark is celebrated for her unique basketball style and her personality. Media coverage of Clark is a reaction to public interest, not the cause of it. Eventually, they will understand that this "diminish Clark to uplift others" strategy is flawed. The media thrives on clicks and views, and once it becomes evident that Clark is the main attraction and that WNBA superstars cannot be fabricated through media coverage alone, this approach will stop.
I have never seen anything like it, even though they wanna say it'd Magic Bird again. Well Bird came in and played very well and the NBA guys accepted him after seeing his skills. You'd think these women would be the same way and accept it for the greater good of the games future.
This is one of those hyper-rare comments where I think to myself "Did I write this??"...what I'm trying to say is it's brilliant. Hold on, let me set this mirror down, alright...so I agree with everything here, with the exception of your final sentence. In a world that made any sense, sure, but in this world...no. There's no stopping, especially if it makes no sense, there's no stopping.
One of the best things about Clark is that she never speaks badly of anyone else. She never takes the bait -- she turns the other cheek and even praises others who are critical of her. What a great example for others to follow.
I know I won’t watch it if Caitlin is not playing. At first I started watching all the games but I saw how Caitlin was getting treated bad in every aspect. Now I only watch Fever games. I was really getting into then they showed there a.. and I was out except for watching Caitlin
I’m a business owner, if I had someone come in and take over bring in more people and $ do my job as good or better than me I would sign them up in a heartbeat. I would easily step back a bit and ride the wave.
You don't understand the supply chain issues. The All Star jersey is not the only Clark jersey that is sold out and the restock is a month or so away from happening. If you have a beef it should be with the WNBA not ordering enough in the first place. But then they have never had to deal with the attention and demand that follows Clark .
The pettiness of some of these players is astounding. Mainstream America didn't watch the WNBA till CC showed up. Nobody even heard of some of these "superstars"! Caitlin is bringing eyes to the game and now she's bringing the cash. The players need to shut up and play ball and realize that "a rising tide lifts all boats" shut up and play ball...let your game speak for itself because NOW...people are watching and it's because of Caitlin Clark!
All of Caitlin all star jerseys were sold in 17 minutes..every size! She makes the WNBA marketable.. This brings the shine to others and their own unique skills.. Please let that light shine and realize she is illuminating the whole league.. Nobody would even be talking about the WNBA all star game if she wasnt in the league..
Damn, seventeen minutes of whining. CC is not complaining, she has her $28 million deal from NIKE plus others I haven't heard a peep from her. It's her TOXIC fans like Julian who is trying to create issues. Grown ass men that want to live out their best life through CC since they were not good at sports. Leave the young girl alone ITS CREEPY.
@SurfingWithAliens I've never heard Caitlin wine, so why would her fans.. Maybe there were winers on your teams? I played sports and did not hear any wining.. Of course, I wasn't in the WNBA where they can't seem to stop...
@@thomaswonderwood9826 Thomas, I wasn't talking about CC and her fans. I was talking about the other players whining about CC. We are in the age of victimism. Lots of whiners in sports today. Whining and Shining just don't mix any better than mustard and water in the same container.
Why doesn't Clark's Fever team, and especially Coach Christie Sides, have her back? They should be furious that Caitlyn Clark was not chosen to be on the Olympic Team. They should be incensened that CC was not invited to the ALL STAR team! She is the reason the WNBA is even in the news, and making money for the first time in years!! Shame on you Indiana Fever! Shame on you Coach Sides
Yeah.....my bad. But why wasn't she invited to participate in the specialty events? Caitlyn Clark would win the 3 point shooting contest and put all the wnba veterans to SHAME!
Let's remember that CC is a Marketing Major. She knows what her name brings to the table. She is also aware of the mistreatment the WNBA is doing to her. What better way to show strength than to not conform to the WNBA's needs. The WNBA wants it both ways, 'help us bring in money, but we want to still downplay your importance.'
The WNBA wants the veterans to get the glory and they are snubbing her. Diana Taurasi and so many others have been worshiped. They don’t even want to talk about her accomplishments since she joined the WNBA. I never realized the veterans were so selfish and so racist. Sad. This reminds me about how everyone talks about bb superstars but rarely mention Jordan. He’s untouchable and perhaps she will be too because her abilities are so amazing.
The WNBA is a perfect example of why some men just don't like women. We've been told our whole lives that some women are evil and the evil that this whole scumbag leg has put towards this nice kid Clark is despicable beyond belief. It will not be good for Caitlin's mental health to be there for years. Go play in Europe girl with a salary in the millions not this b******* 75k as she basically takes the s*** fest of a league and turns it into a future success.
One of my wife’s bride’s maids pulled that nonsense when we got married. Chick just couldn’t handle a day not being about her. She actually made a pass at me at our rehearsal dinner. My wife ended up kicking her out of the wedding party hours before the wedding.
I have followed basketball over 50 years college and pro. Not the WNBA....Clark has me watching now. BTW, A'ja Wilson is really good. But, I just heard of her in the past few months. My point is, following Clark has introduced me to how good alot of the WNBA players are. I do feel the WNBA is a private club and will blow this whole opportunity.
And even for me, I never heard about Caitlyn Clark until I started following the trajectory/high school & college career of Paige Bueckers. That's how distant the wnba and their stars were off my radar. I had heard of Lisa Leslie and Sue Bird and Brittney Griner (for non-basketball reasons), but never generated enough interest to watch a pro game, especially with NBA games as an alternative -- and even then I only tuned in to see what Steph Curry was doing. Hopefully, when Paige enters the league, she becomes the Larry Bird to Caitlyn's Magic Johnson.
Maybe they should’ve told the media companies when they were negotiating TV rights that they were not going to make CC the face of the league and they didn’t want to advertise her or promote her record-breaking performances.
Lol It's the NBA's tv rights. Caitlin's name wasn't mentioned. The NBA cut a 76 billion dollar tv deal then gave 2.9% crumbs to the WNBA. WNBA Executive Director of the Player's union, Terri Jackson is not happy.
If "Wheaties" ever has Caitlin on its cereal box...I'm buying a grip of boxes! She's simply exemplary and phenomenal-- both as a B-Ball player and human being!
CC has class and she is trying to navigate the world of professional basketball....without stepping on so many egos in the league..stay strong CC...we have your back
CC needs a rest. We'll see what ratings they get without her today, with her in the allstar game, and without her at the olympics. The rest will just make her stronger.
Growing the game in America means everything to her. People are just being conspiratorial because apparently thats what we do now. They’re protecting the NBA all star weekend, end of story.
I watched a video of Clark in practice shooting threes around the parameter of the key. When she shoots a three on or near the line, it looks more like an extended two point shot. Of course it was a drill in practice so her percentage rate was in the high 90% range. But in a repetitive three point contest, probably would kill it. Why can't the media and the league just accept that Clark is one of those exceptional individuals that comes along in a lifetime and celebrate it.
Bro. Thank u sooooo much for covering this! It LITERALLY saddens me the way she’s being treated and your commentary covered ALL of my emotions. You’re an INCREDIBLE communicator bro! 😎 Love the content. KEEP COVERING THIS!
I think she should go Europe and she will get big contract possibly more than USD 1 million per season or just get the contract by Cube for USD 5 million for 1 month and let WNBA suffer financially
The WNBA threw the chance to make more money on sponsorships and also more publicity when they didn’t push to make Clark vs. Ionescu in the 3 point shooting contest. That’s a freaking shame.
She should have been the player of the week and month. Fans should complain to NBA because, at this point, the WNBA is too corrupt. I would love to see a shake-up at WNBA and Fever.
I never watched the WNBA until this year. All they needed to see was that one sports celebrity put $1 million of his own money up last year. Once the Las Vegas Aces won for the WNBA League title the second time in a row and one of their players started popping off about how awesome they were. The celebrity put up 1 million of his own dollars to have a boys high school team play against the Las Vegas Aces and to see who would win that game. The Las Vegas Aces very quietly snuck out of the limelight, because they knew what the result of that game would’ve been. I’m sure that even Bishop Gorman high school from Las Vegas last year could have beating them by at least 20 points.
Knew a Brit once who lived in the us, asked why leave home. He said work there was about seniority, not meritocracy… he wasn’t having it. The wnba seems stuck on “let’s take our turns” instead of welcoming a hero
Caitlin Clark should just go to Europe and play and make more money, and just sit back and watch the WNBA crash, I do not understand how she is talking all the crap from the league and the players and not going crazy!!
👍❤️💯❤thanks mate, well said. Totally agree with everything you've just said. They are so evil. ❤and prayers to Caitlin Clark, these parasites will not beat her. Respect from an old man in Queensland Australia
That was some terrible ‘hazing’! He was treated badly due to the resentment of his flashy ballplay! Then he got injured! There’s no doubt a lesson learned there?
According to WNBA FANS Caitlin is already the face of The W. I'm pretty sure Caitlin doesn't mind not being front and center all the time, once in awhile it's ok, but all the time, she rather not have it. In 4 years she'll be in the Olympics and can you imagine how much better she will be. She said it herself and I loved it, she said They just woke up a monster. You go Caitlin.
I agree with your assessment. I will not be tuning into the WNBA unless Ms. Clark is expected to be on Court. If her fans do the same it will force the WMBA to recognize her greatness. Or they will revert to pre- CC status quo or parish.
If I was CC I would NOT participate in any part of the All Star weekend. I would also take my game to Europe just as fast as I could go. They WILL pay her and make her feel at HOME!
Both Ioenescu and Clark are out of the 3- point contest and skills contest, today. I think Clark mentioned awhile back that this weekend is for all the players to shine. But, I think the Olympic team will be pressing for a quick pace. And trying for quick scoring and steals, gor the first 5 minutes. Then, trying to keep that pace. A high scoring game with the pace, I think. The Wnba All-Stars have a legend coaching them, for Saturday. Their coach Cheryl knows what the other team can do.
Breaking News : A new womens basketball league will be born... METROPOLITAN WOMENS BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (MWBA). caitlin clark will be the face of the leaugue
CC gave the W her playbook on how to be successful..MERCH,style of play, public relations, branding, be humble, no social issues, marketing etc etc...These big girls just need to read it and move out of the way..FACTS
@@clintdavis7434 I like Clark too but to claim she was pressured out of competing in the 3 point contest because a website mentioned the people who are actually competing in the 3 point contest after she declined to be in it is beyond absurd.
This is what Caitlin Clark had to say at the WNBA All-Star Weekend press conference this morning in Phoenix. Question: Any specific reasons why you didn't want to participate in the Three-Point Contest? Caitlin: Yeah, honestly like I think just the rest. - like I've been playing basketball for a year straight. Like that's it's not an easy thing to just show up to and shoot off of a rack. It's not something I've ever done before. It’s not something I've had a lot of time to practice, I've been focusing on helping my team win games. So I think just, you know, enjoying this break. I think there's going to be plenty of opportunities for me to do that at some point, but at the same time like the field of shooters that we have in the competition are really good. They're all like near 40% shooters. So, I'm excited for them, I'll be there supporting them and it'll be fun. But yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing for me is just like I need to break and I need to take some time to myself to enjoy what I want to do. And at times that can be tough being the position that I'm in, but I think it's healthiest for myself
This is blaring!!!! This is outrageous and so typically hilarious!!!! Laughable and soooo sad! So sad. Everyone sees. Thanks I hope everyone shares this
It’s okay without CC in the 3 pt contest…..I have no need to waste a Friday night watching those that are in it! To be honest I have no interest in watching anyone but CC and the Fever! So thanks for freeing up my Friday night!
They also shun her on the WNBA app, when the fever play and any other game is on, they put the fever game low on the list forcing you to see the other teams are playing. Its like putting Milk in the back of the store knowing you have to walk past all the other products hoping you bite.
I’m new at watching the WNBA because of “of course “ Caitlin Clark. And exploring all the other teams playing between themselves (not with the Fever) I’ve notice how “BORING “ they are, Caitlin Clark when I watch her playing, is like a MARVEL movie character, (reason why II call her CC-logo3) Fighting all the haters and bad girl. She does have a GREAT Karma and will DEFINITELY succeed against the: Racist, envying eyes. And bad Karme Evil souls because, God is with her as well as millions of good peoples like you and me in giving her strength and always defending her.
Kinda think this report is BS. Caitlin Clark has been playing under enormous pressure since the Fall of 2023. The media has been all over her during her pursuit of scoring records. Her college season extended to the 2nd Hawkeye appearance in the NCAA finals in consecutive years. She shouldered an enormous burden getting her team to that position. In a matter of weeks she was immersed in the WNBA and the attendant whirlwind that has become. I think she is tired and looking forward to a break. Her 3-point shooting accuracy dropped off the last couple weeks of the NCAA season and still has not recovered. The WNBA has ZERO reason to deliberately exclude the cash cow (sorry Caitlin) from the All Star Weekend.
They showed the pictures of the athletes they had on the public transport. C.C. picture was smaller in the background and they had her eyes and mouth covered with print. That one will make you mad 😡
Probably not very realistic, but at one point I thought it would be great if she got drafted (or traded) to an NBA team. Her fanbase would follow and the pettiness would disappear. She would have a whole team of brothers. Most of all, it would make history -- the first woman to play for an NBA team.
You said you had "proof" and "more proof" that she was pressured to decline the three point and skills competition, but so far in the video, all you have is your speculation. You need a refresher course on the meaning of "proof." (btw, I'm a big Clark fan)
What the WNBA is doing is working even if it's not by design, controversy creates interest and keeps people engaged. Fans look at the league's behavior toward Clark and are incensed and that keeps them even more engaged than if the league just rolled out the welcome mat and played ball without all the cheap shots. It's like in every great drama there's always a good guy and a bad guy and the public gets more united if they have an underdog to support or an evil empire to hate.
When Larry Bird showed up for the free throwing competition, he showed up, went to the locker room looked at all the participants and said I just want to see whose coming in 2nd. What's the point of having a competition when your not the best.
Let's face it, the WNBA and opposing teams tried to crush Caitlin and make her and her fans disappear. They scheduled the Fever 11 games in 21 days against the best teams in the league. They hazed her, roughed her up, guarded her harder than any other players, blitzed and double teamed her more than twice as much as any other player, downplayed her in the media while propping up Reese, etc. She fought through all of that and emerged from the other side as the best point guard in the league, breaking records every time she steps on the court. She's fatigued from playing for 10 straight months, but after the Olympic break and some rest for those legs, she's going to be hitting those 3's again and lighting it up!
Caitlin is such a class act, wnba talks white noise - she just doesn’t care. She still plays like a superstar ❤
They believe that Caitlin Clark is receiving an abundance of attention solely because the media has "elevated" her to superstar status. So they are now attempting to "elevate" other players to achieve the same level of recognition and popularity as Clark. What they fail to grasp is that Clark's popularity is not manufactured by the media. Clark is celebrated for her unique basketball style and her personality. Media coverage of Clark is a reaction to public interest, not the cause of it. Eventually, they will understand that this "diminish Clark to uplift others" strategy is flawed. The media thrives on clicks and views, and once it becomes evident that Clark is the main attraction and that WNBA superstars cannot be fabricated through media coverage alone, this approach will stop.
Reasonable truthful analysis, but will it stop? I’m not hopeful.
They despise what Clark represents and that will never change. 😎🇺🇸👌
well, just look at a certain political campaign - same thing!
I have never seen anything like it, even though they wanna say it'd Magic Bird again. Well Bird came in and played very well and the NBA guys accepted him after seeing his skills. You'd think these women would be the same way and accept it for the greater good of the games future.
Basically a long story short, wnba needs her,she don't need them lol. It's bad enough she turn down 15 million just to play in wnba.

She got 19 assists that would be the equivalent of 30 in the NBA where players can hit layups and catch passes
Also did it in 40 mins rather than 48

She should have been the player of the week and month. Fans should complain to NBA because, at this point, the WNBA is too corrupt. I would love to see a shake-up at WNBA and Fever.
I never watched the WNBA until this year. All they needed to see was that one sports celebrity put $1 million of his own money up last year. Once the Las Vegas Aces won for the WNBA League title the second time in a row and one of their players started popping off about how awesome they were. The celebrity put up 1 million of his own dollars to have a boys high school team play against the Las Vegas Aces and to see who would win that game. The Las Vegas Aces very quietly snuck out of the limelight, because they knew what the result of that game would’ve been. I’m sure that even Bishop Gorman high school from Las Vegas last year could have beating them by at least 20 points.
Clay Travis was who put the scratch up. Still on the table as far as I know.
@@alemswazzu yes. They will never accept the offer because the Aces would get slaughtered
Knew a Brit once who lived in the us, asked why leave home. He said work there was about seniority, not meritocracy… he wasn’t having it. The wnba seems stuck on “let’s take our turns” instead of welcoming a hero
Caitlin Clark should just go to Europe and play and make more money, and just sit back and watch the WNBA crash, I do not understand how she is talking all the crap from the league and the players and not going crazy!!
Because for a 22 year old...she is MUCH MORE MATURE than the whole league!!!!
@@sharondeas3421 your right, but its still a form of abuse in some form or another!!!
I bet she barely plays against team USA and will be given no chance to beat them.
Nah! Cheryl Miller her head coach will utilize her well.The first GOAT to the present GOAT
@@JoseFPulistar-f1yThat’s how it should be… I see them pushing Angel Reese…praying I’m wrong!
Cheryl Miller likes CCs play...she said so
It boils down to does Cheryl buckle to the pressure or does she become another Cheryl/Sheryl (Reeve/Swoopes)?
Caitlyn Clark is hands down the best point guard in the W and the only reason I watch the games!! How sad that so many of the players wanna hate!!
👍❤️💯❤thanks mate, well said. Totally agree with everything you've just said. They are so evil. ❤and prayers to Caitlin Clark, these parasites will not beat her. Respect from an old man in Queensland Australia
CC is being Treated Very Much like Pistol Pete was treated His First Year. Very Sad.
That was some terrible ‘hazing’! He was treated badly due to the resentment of his flashy ballplay! Then he got injured! There’s no doubt a lesson learned there?
Only watch CC games.
Caitlin Clark no give 2 💩💩
No give 1 💩
She just wants rest
Disagree... CC very competitive. Pretty sure she would have loved to compete.
@@marksauce2383 Then why didn't she? And if you believe what he's saying you basically saying that would mean you believe Clark is lying
This is not the Caitlin Clark effect, it is an eclipse. The more shade thrown at her, the more she shines
CC should have been player of the week. Great commentary.
CC should get the MVP and if the contract allows go to another league and make them rich...
I think if she can legally get out of her contract with the Fever, she should go play in Europe league.
Glad you spoke with Caitlin and she gave you the truth. Does my heart good knowing she has at least one person to confide in.
😂😂😂
Does not matter what the cry baby jealous immature woman think of Caitlin Clark because Clark is the WNBA real lady with the real skills !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
According to WNBA FANS Caitlin is already the face of The W. I'm pretty sure Caitlin doesn't mind not being front and center all the time, once in awhile it's ok, but all the time, she rather not have it. In 4 years she'll be in the Olympics and can you imagine how much better she will be. She said it herself and I loved it, she said They just woke up a monster. You go Caitlin.
Just accept the fact that CC is now the face of WNBA 😃
I agree with your assessment. I will not be tuning into the WNBA unless Ms. Clark is expected to be on Court. If her fans do the same it will force the WMBA to recognize her greatness. Or they will revert to pre- CC status quo or parish.
They know now that she is better than 99% of them and they are afraid of being exposed.
She should go to Europe
I believe she's still struggling with the ear injury. Her balance is off, and or she's fatigued. She needs a break.
@@TheNifster Yes, she needs a break. I haven't heard if her eardrum was ever attended to.
I'm going to tell all my fellow Iowans to not watch the Friday events.. wnba should be ashamed!
If I was CC I would NOT participate in any part of the All Star weekend. I would also take my game to Europe just as fast as I could go. They WILL pay her and make her feel at HOME!
#CAITLINROCKS4EVER
Both Ioenescu and Clark are out of the 3- point contest and skills contest, today.
I think Clark mentioned awhile back that this weekend is for all the players to shine.
But, I think the Olympic team will be pressing for a quick pace. And trying for quick scoring and steals, gor the first 5 minutes. Then, trying to keep that pace.
A high scoring game with the pace, I think.
The Wnba All-Stars have a legend coaching them, for Saturday. Their coach Cheryl knows what the other team can do.
Ionescu said she had practice obligations to her Olympic team.
Breaking News : A new womens basketball league will be born... METROPOLITAN WOMENS BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (MWBA). caitlin clark will be the face of the leaugue
What a way to treat someone who has elevated the league to more heights and helped get the WNBA a new TV deal.
CC gave the W her playbook on how to be successful..MERCH,style of play, public relations, branding, be humble, no social issues, marketing etc etc...These big girls just need to read it and move out of the way..FACTS
Never underestimate the pettiness of women
He'll hath no fury like a woman scorned. The WNBA and most players feel scorned and they are showing it.
Never underestimate the delusion of Clark fanatics.
@BadBrucey No delusion, just excitement
@@clintdavis7434 I like Clark too but to claim she was pressured out of competing in the 3 point contest because a website mentioned the people who are actually competing in the 3 point contest after she declined to be in it is beyond absurd.
Millions will not be watching on Friday.
I think Clark just wanted to rest and prepare instead for Team WNBA. Having said that, that All-Star headline screams DEI to me.
If she was a young black woman she would be on everything, she would be front and center of everything!
Unfortunately, I cannot support this league anymore. This is not a professional league. Its become obvious that they dont deserve support.
Strange behavior from the coaches who are closest to the phenomenon?
I keep Caitlin in my prayers over all this stuff!
Kathy Englebert's handling of Clark's ascension into the league was just a fantastic failure.
I love your podcasts. You're smart, articulate, and knowledgeable. Great analysis.
This is what Caitlin Clark had to say at the WNBA All-Star Weekend press conference this morning in Phoenix.
Question: Any specific reasons why you didn't want to participate in the Three-Point Contest?
Caitlin: Yeah, honestly like I think just the rest. - like I've been playing basketball for a year straight. Like that's it's not an easy thing to just show up to and shoot off of a rack. It's not something I've ever done before. It’s not something I've had a lot of time to practice, I've been focusing on helping my team win games. So I think just, you know, enjoying this break.
I think there's going to be plenty of opportunities for me to do that at some point, but at the same time like the field of shooters that we have in the competition are really good. They're all like near 40% shooters. So, I'm excited for them, I'll be there supporting them and it'll be fun.
But yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing for me is just like I need to break and I need to take some time to myself to enjoy what I want to do. And at times that can be tough being the position that I'm in, but I think it's healthiest for myself
she should go to Ice Cube's 3D league. He offered her way more to play in his league.
The Truth will be revealed...
The viewer ratings for Friday...?
000,000 vs 0,000,000 😮
This is blaring!!!! This is outrageous and so typically hilarious!!!! Laughable and soooo sad! So sad. Everyone sees. Thanks I hope everyone shares this
It’s okay without CC in the 3 pt contest…..I have no need to waste a Friday night watching those that are in it! To be honest I have no interest in watching anyone but CC and the Fever! So thanks for freeing up my Friday night!
Your choice
They also shun her on the WNBA app, when the fever play and any other game is on, they put the fever game low on the list forcing you to see the other teams are playing. Its like putting Milk in the back of the store knowing you have to walk past all the other products hoping you bite.
I’m new at watching the WNBA because of “of course “ Caitlin Clark. And exploring all the other teams playing between themselves (not with the Fever) I’ve notice how “BORING “ they are,
Caitlin Clark when I watch her playing, is like a MARVEL movie character, (reason why II call her CC-logo3)
Fighting all the haters and bad girl.
She does have a GREAT Karma and will DEFINITELY succeed against the: Racist, envying eyes. And bad Karme Evil souls because, God is with her as well as millions of good peoples like you and me in giving her strength and always defending her.
If she doesn’t go to the Olympic game, I won’t watch the WNBA boring ladies, and will definitely switch channel p.
Dude, you provided absolutely zero proof for your claim. Thumbs down for clickbait.
@8:30 Oh please, Caitlin is not off to the side she stands out the most.
She probably can't... but I wish she could sell her own merch....
People will stop attending games and people will stop watching on television
Kinda think this report is BS. Caitlin Clark has been playing under enormous pressure since the Fall of 2023. The media has been all over her during her pursuit of scoring records. Her college season extended to the 2nd Hawkeye appearance in the NCAA finals in consecutive years. She shouldered an enormous burden getting her team to that position. In a matter of weeks she was immersed in the WNBA and the attendant whirlwind that has become. I think she is tired and looking forward to a break. Her 3-point shooting accuracy dropped off the last couple weeks of the NCAA season and still has not recovered.
The WNBA has ZERO reason to deliberately exclude the cash cow (sorry Caitlin) from the All Star Weekend.
They showed the pictures of the athletes they had on the public transport. C.C. picture was smaller in the background and they had her eyes and mouth covered with print. That one will make you mad 😡
Probably not very realistic, but at one point I thought it would be great if she got drafted (or traded) to an NBA team. Her fanbase would follow and the pettiness would disappear. She would have a whole team of brothers. Most of all, it would make history -- the first woman to play for an NBA team.
You said you had "proof" and "more proof" that she was pressured to decline the three point and skills competition, but so far in the video, all you have is your speculation. You need a refresher course on the meaning of "proof." (btw, I'm a big Clark fan)
Good video. You have a great instinct for what's going on. Never watched a WNBA game until CC came along. Suscribed.
They got what they wanted out of CC, the tv deal secured.
And when the CC viewership type numbers don't come in that the advertisers expect from the rest of the league, it will be gone just as fast.
Julian, bro you are right!!! Great research!!!!
LOL. "I can prove Clark was pressured out of the 3 point contest because they're talking about the players who are in the 3 point contest." 😂😂😂
Fans of Caitlin Clark Do not go to this contest. Let them have an empty court
What the WNBA is doing is working even if it's not by design, controversy creates interest and keeps people engaged. Fans look at the league's behavior toward Clark and are incensed and that keeps them even more engaged than if the league just rolled out the welcome mat and played ball without all the cheap shots. It's like in every great drama there's always a good guy and a bad guy and the public gets more united if they have an underdog to support or an evil empire to hate.
That works only until the fans hear the "go away" loud enough and take them up at their invitation
If the Wnba has historically struggled, what informs you that they are now suddenly capable of strategic thinking?
When Larry Bird showed up for the free throwing competition, he showed up, went to the locker room looked at all the participants and said I just want to see whose coming in 2nd.
What's the point of having a competition when your not the best.
Maybe the WNBA wants the fans to boycott the all star?
