caitlin clark is the only wnba player i know. the fact that she is getting hated on by other wnba players shows how unprofessional and disrespectful the wnba is
@@maxmeier532even if that's the case, I don't see what's wrong. Wnba needs a face for the league like how nba used to do it with George Mikan at their very beginning
@@maxmeier532 So??? Does the WNBA want more people to watch their product or not, cause I can guarantee you more Average Joe viewers know who Caitlin is than they do Taurasi.
"She is being way too nice." Nope. She is being very smart. Incredibly mature. Totally professional. The last blatant foul by Angel Reese? Clark said she was focused only on scoring. Last thing she needs to do is get down in the mud with these people who are self destructing. She is living in their heads rent free. Means they cant focus on playing ball.
That’s why the WNBA never had much success until now, I’m pretty sure men are over half the demographic tuning in for Clark, considering Clarks games are the only WNBA games that average 1million viewers while any other game without her sits @ 6 figure viewership
two months ago I would have felt bad for the WNBA. Since then they got a superstar that is able to fill stadiums, even cause them to move to larger stadiums, able to bring in millions, and they show their appreciation by treating her like a leper, benching her for trying to hard, not even getting off the bench when she gets hard fouled, nothing but hate is shown to Catlin Clark, and they will be hard pressed because of that to even get ANY more talent, the WNBA is signing their death warrant by the way they are treating a star, and they are proud of themselves. It's a league that will die and deserves it.
The wnba, before this season (where viewership has rocketed to 1.3million), has a regular viewership higher than the NHL’s. Yet they are not paid the same as hockey players. That is media conglomerates don’t respect women’s leagues and don’t want to pay out the same as they do men’s leagues that perform the same. This is a huge reason for the pay gap, it’s not viewership, it’s discrimination)
@@armyray8638 no the 55 million over 4 years is pre tax . he will be taxed state taxes in every state he plays in but does not have to pay state income taxes at home games . But he of course has to pay federal taxes . He after tax income will be around 30 million not 55 milllion.
brands want her in the WNBA to be the face of woman sports and will pay her hundreds of millions for it. If she takes the money she will look like a sell out and will no longer be marketable. Instead she becomes the face of woman’s sports, and gets compensated with PRIVATE sponsorships, not PUBLIC sports contracts.
Ice Cube's $15 million offer is the temptation of the devil. Caitlin's career and reputation would've taken a massive hit had she taken the deal. Ice Cube only wanted her popularity for extra views for his Big Three, knowing full well she's going to get destroyed and embarrassed.
A lot of people would love to see her competing against washed former NBA players. I dont even care how it goes, I'd watch that any time before I'd watch WNBA (one more time). There is hundreds if not thousands of journey men in international leagues who dont know which languange they will have to learn next year but somehow WNBA, who want to be treated equaly, want to be subsidized even more than they already are. No, people are NOT watching WNBA. Some games get some viewers. There is no huge TV deal with international rights.
Well, she won’t even make $15 million in her entire career in the WNBA in general lol, but it is smart of her not to take a huge risk of cutting her career short and getting in trouble.
With the combined worth of her, NIL Money from College, Endorsements from Nike,(28 Million) Wilson, even the Lowly Gatorade, State Farm and others, if Caitlin can find a way to Grow A Good Garden, and a Fat Hog, She Just Might Get By. Much as I like her, I won't be laying awake at night worrying about her Financial Solvency, any time soon. Right Now, Caitlin can buy and sell Lexie, Swoopes, and the rest of the Sub Par or Played Out Haters, from her Pocket Change, and never miss it.
Because brands want her in the WNBA to be the face of woman sports and will pay her hundreds of millions for it. If she takes the money she will look like a sell out and will no longer be marketable. Instead she becomes the face of woman’s sports, and gets compensated with PRIVATE sponsorships, not PUBLIC sports contracts.
Because people don’t actually understand how to make yourself valuable and in demand. Then you have idiots on tv and pandering politicians reinforcing there misguided beliefs instead of helping them to understand how to become more valuable.
The only women’s game I’ve ever watched was the Iowa vs UConn game a few months ago. If women are shitting on Caitlyn they should be ashamed of themselves.
Sounds like Caitlin has actually benefitted more from the league than brought to it! She wouldn't have these sponsors if she hadn't had the WNBA and only played in the WYMCA leagues
Nothing Taurasi said was "wrong" though. It has been a transition for Clark at the WNBA level. She did not come into the WNBA ready for the competition, and that's fine, she's a rookie. Clark will be ready. You're right about Swoopes tho lmao.
@@maxmeier532 It's not trivial imo, and the reason it's not is because most people have never watched WNBA before. When Taurasi said that, she was on SportsCenter not a WNBA broadcast. There's an audience of people who watched their first WNBA game for Caitlin Clark specifically. And I think if you don't say it and you see her struggle, it'll feel like a bait-and-switch.
Technically nothing wrong said. But take in the context of ESPN having two UConn legends commentate on the Iowa-UConn game with Iowa coming out in top, one cannot say there is no tinge of bias and bravado in those statements.
@@de132a lot of stuff that has been said aren't wrong but came out sour and petty Angel Reece wasn't wrong that the league isn't just one player But she sounded jealous as hell Problem with the WNBA is the viewing and attendance have been abysmal for so long the media just look for one saviour for the league Once they did that it rubbed players who have been around the wrong way though those WNBA players didn't exactly cover themselves in glory lecturing ppl
The difference between Wemby's welcome and Caitlin's is with Wemby everyone is wishing him good health like please don't get injured but with Caitlin, they bump her as much as they can lol
Why are WNBA players not getting paid the same as NBA players... because no one watches WNBA games. If the orgs make more money off you, you get paid more. That's like saying "Hey, why did the bakery selling 10,000 loaves of bread everyday make more money than me? I sell 100 loaves of bread everyday. It must be because I'm a woman."
Because the want the WNBA to stand alone. 3% of all men NBA salaries are going to WNBA. That, has to stop! Also, the guys you hear the loudest are all Nike contract beneficiaries. It's in their contract to speak well when asked about other Nike endorsement holders. It's business. Doesn't mean they believe what they are saying. Here watch me. Caitlin is the Greatest Player Ever! Including MJ. Said it..didn't mean a word of it!
People cannot forget that professional sports at its core is just entertainment. Regardless of how skilled athletes at their craft, their compensation will be based on the value of the entertainment product created. One can argue whether or not Caitlin Clark is the most talented player in the WNBA. But she plays like Steph Curry, and guess what, that is what the population seems to be most entertained by today. Rhythmic gymnasts are so incredibly talented, but sorry I am not buying a ticket to watch them perform.
This is a prime example why it’s so hard for women to succeed. Clark brining eyes to the league and help give it popularity but women hating other women is a tale as old as time. Instead of coming together and using your numbers to help make the league grow so you can all get paid you would rather be jealous and tear things down and be dysfunctional
I agree. Me myself started watching wnba because of the rookies of this year's draft. Clark, Brink and Reese. Started watching wnba and also started being a fan of Mitchell of the sparks also. I promise fandom will grow because of this draft class.
Lexie let her Mouth overload he ability, and showed just how much, when she tried that "Anybody can drop 3s" in a Real Game, and Fell Flat On Her Face, Spectacularly, for all to Witness.
@@serge6885 Well, I would disagree. Most of the players in the WNBA are black (over 60 percent), and most of the players in the WNBA get angry. Nuff said.
The only reason they get paid is because nba pours there money to wnba. The wnba would be broke without the nba they make 0 profit the nba loses money because of wnba
Her contract doesn’t matter… brands want her in the WNBA to be the face of woman sports and will pay her hundreds of millions for it. She’s a good person, with good morals, a top 1% skilled player, and not a brand liability. If she takes the money she will look like a sell out and will no longer be marketable. Instead she becomes the face of woman’s sports, and gets compensated with PRIVATE sponsorships, not PUBLIC sports contracts.
The biggest problem for Clark in the WNBA is athletes don't like rookies being claimed as the goat. Happens to males too, when Lebron entered the NBA he faced extreme peer scrutiny because he was proclaimed by the media as the next goat. The Media has created the negativity around Clark, because negativity drives ratings.
Wait, you mean the Cube deal would be her playing basketball against pro male players?? She'd be absolutely rendered useless. That would have been a horrible move if she did that.
I’m all for equal pay in regular jobs, but the NBA and WNBA are not regular jobs. In the entertainment business you should get paid based on how much money you bring in and in that case the WNBA players wouldn’t get paid at all. They need to be grateful they have a salary that some people would die for.
To see a motor genius displayed in any physical activity is right up there with a photographic memory, perfect pitch, or mathematical genius. But to see it displayed with a moral character befitting that of a decent, kind-hearted person makes that individual all the more deserving of respect & admiration.
As a longtime lakers fan and currently not rooting for them because I really can't stand the joke this team has become, I totally agree with you. The passing of Dr Buss took away all the mantra the team had, Kobe passing away just ended all that.
Honestly, I understand where the WNBA player's jealousy of Caitlin Clark comes from. For almost 30 years, no one has given a crap about the WNBA. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a female college player becomes the absolute focus of the media and the public. Everyone knew who Caitlin was, everyone was cheering for her. People actually cared for a female basketball player - for once. All the women in the WNBA who worked just as hard, put in as much time and effort, who may of may not have as much talent as Caitlin seeing that would definitely spark jealousy. Caitlin did provide a massive viewership spike on TV and attendance in the arenas, but just for her games. Caitlin is putting up good numbers, but she is not dominating like she was in college. All those people who jumped on the Caitlin bandwagon are losing interest quickly and the numbers are already declining. By then end of next season, the spike in viewers she brought will be gone, returning the WNBA to a league no one cares about. The NBA is a business and their goal is to make money. They know they cant add more teams inside or outside the US. So they are doing a long term experiment with the WNBA. They know the WNBA will never hold a candle the NBA in any way. However, if they can generate enough interest that the WNBA makes a few percent of the money the WNBA makes, it would be a viable revenue stream. This is why they are happy to dump 10s of millions into it yearly. The NBA has money to burn and if they can make the WNBA even slightly successful, that money would be returned and they will be making profits going forward. So the question is will the spike and fall in interest in the WNBA convince the NBA that there is a future for the WNBA? Or will it finally show them that the WNBA is a failed venture and it is time to cut bait and give up?
true, but they are all unicorns to a degree (there have been only around 5000 men who ever played in the NBA in all the decades) and there is an industry around it that is worth tens of billions of dollars. So it makes sense they get a fair share based on that. A lot of teams are worth around 3 or 4 billion dollars now (not the contracts, just if you want to buy the team, that's the tag).
But people pay the big bucks to watch nba not wnba ?! I don't not see how wnba players could make more than nba. I guess only if wnba sell more tickets, jurselys, and tv rights. This debate is reducilous.
I'm from India and I love watching Caitlin Clark play.I subscribed to the league pass and I watch her games on the WNBA app. Its not just her shooting but her passing and her blocks are exciting to watch. Can't believe she is only six feet tall.
@@vinniechan she is sponsored by Nike and who knows what else. She is making over 200 grand a year and most likely has great career opportunies on the side and after her pro career.
Y’all seem to forget that the men play 82 games and the women play 40 games. Don’t forget that the WNBA loses over $12 million a year so how can you pay your players if you don’t make any money??
I remember hearing someone say “NBA is basically WNBA’s sugar daddy” and honestly it’s always going to be like that. This league would’ve been cancelled if NBA wasn’t helping to run it.
Framing that women are jealous and hate on one another is the reason you should worry about social media. Because when other men say another player or analyst says Jalen Brown, (until recently) Trevor Lawrence are not worth the contracts they got, because its men, it's not considered jealousy or hate.
Not to mention, there are like many dude in the big 3 that are jealous also. They would likely touch her up and get her injured. Through dirty play. Im not doubting her toughness.
well, we dont know the ins and outs of the contract. I dont see a contract where Ice would have paid her 15 mill no matter what. Like, if she tore her ACL and ended her career right there in game 1, he aint paying her after that.
WNBA players can't dunk on the rim but they can dunk on Caitlyn

In the entertainment business you should get paid based on how much money you bring in and in that case the WNBA players wouldn’t get paid at all. They need to be grateful they have a salary that some people would die for.
To see a motor genius displayed in any physical activity is right up there with a photographic memory, perfect pitch, or mathematical genius. But to see it displayed with a moral character befitting that of a decent, kind-hearted person makes that individual all the more deserving of respect & admiration.
As a longtime lakers fan and currently not rooting for them because I really can't stand the joke this team has become, I totally agree with you. The passing of Dr Buss took away all the mantra the team had, Kobe passing away just ended all that.
Honestly, I understand where the WNBA player's jealousy of Caitlin Clark comes from. For almost 30 years, no one has given a crap about the WNBA. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a female college player becomes the absolute focus of the media and the public. Everyone knew who Caitlin was, everyone was cheering for her. People actually cared for a female basketball player - for once. All the women in the WNBA who worked just as hard, put in as much time and effort, who may of may not have as much talent as Caitlin seeing that would definitely spark jealousy. Caitlin did provide a massive viewership spike on TV and attendance in the arenas, but just for her games. Caitlin is putting up good numbers, but she is not dominating like she was in college. All those people who jumped on the Caitlin bandwagon are losing interest quickly and the numbers are already declining. By then end of next season, the spike in viewers she brought will be gone, returning the WNBA to a league no one cares about.
The NBA is a business and their goal is to make money. They know they cant add more teams inside or outside the US. So they are doing a long term experiment with the WNBA. They know the WNBA will never hold a candle the NBA in any way. However, if they can generate enough interest that the WNBA makes a few percent of the money the WNBA makes, it would be a viable revenue stream. This is why they are happy to dump 10s of millions into it yearly. The NBA has money to burn and if they can make the WNBA even slightly successful, that money would be returned and they will be making profits going forward. So the question is will the spike and fall in interest in the WNBA convince the NBA that there is a future for the WNBA? Or will it finally show them that the WNBA is a failed venture and it is time to cut bait and give up?
Passing up 15 million!?
A man's greatest vice is lust. A woman's greatest vice is jealousy. The latter is on full display here.
That is what nba players should be paid, more than enough when you consider they play a game for a living. Current contracts are ridiculous
true, but they are all unicorns to a degree (there have been only around 5000 men who ever played in the NBA in all the decades) and there is an industry around it that is worth tens of billions of dollars. So it makes sense they get a fair share based on that. A lot of teams are worth around 3 or 4 billion dollars now (not the contracts, just if you want to buy the team, that's the tag).
so NBA should keep all the money? Yeah that's not happening
But people pay the big bucks to watch nba not wnba ?! I don't not see how wnba players could make more than nba. I guess only if wnba sell more tickets, jurselys, and tv rights. This debate is reducilous.
The irony is that a group wants equality, but wants someone else to fight and pay for it. As if any group got the keys just handed to them.
I'm from India and I love watching Caitlin Clark play.I subscribed to the league pass and I watch her games on the WNBA app. Its not just her shooting but her passing and her blocks are exciting to watch. Can't believe she is only six feet tall.
Britney Griner made 200k a year, bro really said she needed to work overseas to make ends meet like she is poor.
Bruh.
To be fair being a pro there are other expenses like medical and getting trainers
@@vinniechanall paid for by their teams homie
@@vinniechan she is sponsored by Nike and who knows what else. She is making over 200 grand a year and most likely has great career opportunies on the side and after her pro career.
1:06 : The women have the headlights. They have the fans. They have the viewers.
Charles: Stop it.
These women is soooo. Delusional!
Y’all seem to forget that the men play 82 games and the women play 40 games. Don’t forget that the WNBA loses over $12 million a year so how can you pay your players if you don’t make any money??
My top 5:
1. Caitlyn Clark
2. Brittany Griner
3. pass
4. pass
5. next question
Smart analysis of this issue, appreciate your insight, thanks…
Thank you, Caitlin for being scared to play against the men!
I remember hearing someone say “NBA is basically WNBA’s sugar daddy” and honestly it’s always going to be like that. This league would’ve been cancelled if NBA wasn’t helping to run it.
7:58 I remember that video when it came out
Framing that women are jealous and hate on one another is the reason you should worry about social media. Because when other men say another player or analyst says Jalen Brown, (until recently) Trevor Lawrence are not worth the contracts they got, because its men, it's not considered jealousy or hate.
Its disgusting the hate shes getting when if they embraced her they can start making more than 75k a year
Nobody watches WNBA I have seen 2 games both Caitlin
The wnba getting paid their fair share would be pay to play. Women have to pay thousands per game because they lose money nonstop 😂
She signed a 10 million dollar deal with Nike. She's actually smart for turning that down. I don't think her sponsors would've been fans of it.
Not to mention, there are like many dude in the big 3 that are jealous also. They would likely touch her up and get her injured. Through dirty play. Im not doubting her toughness.
Ok white knight, you get a medal.
She definitely should have taken it. I bet she regrets it now that she sees all the players hate her and don't want her in the league.
well, we dont know the ins and outs of the contract. I dont see a contract where Ice would have paid her 15 mill no matter what. Like, if she tore her ACL and ended her career right there in game 1, he aint paying her after that.
The only time I watch WNBA is when I watch these TH-cam analysis.
If u r reading this,thank you for the amazing year
Love your videos
Are you high? What was that math? 🤣🤣
@01:18 - Can't even name 5 TEAMS... let alone players or what teams have won a championship
Good watchin' - thanks!
No AD?
More important question is why can't Reece get that same offer? Or Inescu Even? That's why the WNBA ladies are really fuming about
SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT MY FUN MATH MISTAKE!!
