- Aces players' Kiah Stokes, Kelsey Plum, and Alysha Clark react to the breaking news of the WNBA's plan to charter flights full-time for the next two seasons.
"It's player health and safety, security at this point. We have a lot of big names and stars." - Kelsey Plum
"I think you'll see a difference in the players when we're out here on the court this season." - Alysha Clark - กีฬา
Great to see Kate Martin doing some practice work. Congrats on making the roster.
"Thank you, Caitlin", I believe are the words literally ALL WNBA players are looking for right now.
ABSOLUTELY
Your god damn right thank you Caitlin curry Clark.
#FACTS As Diana Taurasi said to Caitlin Clark "There's levels to this thing." And Caitlin is on another level of superstar Di 1:49 ana. So the league acted quickly to get charter flights for safety and security so no obsessed nutcase could try to attack Caitlin or Angel Reese or any other WNBA player in the airport. Good Job WNBA! 🏀💦🪣🔥
No! White folks got mad because their princess wasn’t protected but it was okay when the other players wasn’t on commercial flights…Thank you Angel for denying the princess a NCAA championship🤗
They won't ever say it in public. But facts are facts.
What does Alisha Clark mean by “Whatever it took?” She knows what it took; It took Kate Martin’s friend, Caitlin Clark, to rev up the interest and the publicity in women’s pro basketball.
Kate martin
WNBA players should listen to the words of Iowa Basketball coach Lisa Bluder -“ When the light shines on Caitlin, It shines on all of us”.
Good thing will come to the WNBA by CC’s presence. Embrace and encourage it. It will benefit everyone. The negativity being spouted is so counter productive and demonstrate a mean spirited, jealous character imo!
I am a long time Iowa and UConn fane.
Wow, all it took was CC to join the league
"Thanks...whatever it took to get here". Yea, it was CC and her stalker fans. She literally cannot go commercial lmao, they HAD to fix it asap. Journalists are getting suspended for how they talk to her. Imagine her sitting next to some gambling junkie rando on a plane to LV lol.
And generate tens of millions of bucks before the season even starts ..
@@RaindeuxThe Fever (Caitlin really) have generated 50 MILLION $ just in Home Game revenue. That is why it is happening. "Thank You Aunt Caitlin!!!"
Whatever it takes, league has been in the shit hole for over 20+ yrs...only 12 teams n half of the people in this country can't even name 3. M done if this turn woke like the NBA
What it took is for CC to use her platform and people listened. With CC its never me its we and the great woman players around the league. By the way Clark had paid for the tickets for her teammates to come to the draft and convinced SNL to bring them on stage. But the biggest thing she did was actually selfish of her. She begged Kate Martin to return for a 5th season in Iowa, Kate had quit but CC convinced her to come back and now Kate is in the WNBA. If CC never asked her to come back, Kate Martin would have never gone to the WNBA.
99 percent of interest is generated by Caitlin. I get the active players making believe they don't know why the charter flights are happening. They can''t sound grateful to a rookie opponent...Even though ticket sales for that opponent''s home games have generated FIFTY MILLION dollars already in ticket revenue.
Absolutely! League needs to pay respect to CCs effect on all things WNBA. Next, salaries will increase due to attendance records, and network audiences. CC definitely the golden goose for the League.
this is an angel reese effect if that never happened no one would be talking about her
My daughter played volleyball with Kiah Stokes in High school when they were freshman, until the head basketball coach walked into the gym and pulled her to play varsity basketball. Glad to see she is still playing. I remember watching her dad play basketball when he was in college.
They need to thank Clark for this, because she is a huge reason why this happened.
Caitlin, and the 50 million the FEVER (Caitlin) have already generated in ticket revenue is THE ONLY REASON.
Stop giving Reese a participation trophy. Look at the videos of the two games that the Sky's have played. The arenas are more than half empty. And the one they played today, they tried so hard to keep it hidden, zooming in on the court and not the seats.
No one cares about Reese. She was the 7th draftee. CC, Cameron Brink, Kamilla Cardoso, Rickea Jackson, Jacy Sheldon, and Aaliyah Edwards were all drafted before she was.
the first game was in Minnesota... the second game today was for season ticket holders only. be srs and wait till the actual season starts
@@robintay1449no one cares yet u typing her name ok
@@robintay1449that’s not how basketball works it’s not the number it’s where u go dummy
Reese beat Caitlyn Clark......Its Caitlyn Clark the queen of Runner up champions.
Thank Caitlin
Welcome CC you haters. The old dogs are even more pissed now 😂
Can you all please repeat after me? … Caitlin Clark effect.
Caitlin Clark will give this league it's FIRST profit in 3 decades.
Yup her & Angel Reese
@@justmichaeljm3667 chicago wasnt anywhere near sold out last game… reese isnt having that much effecr
@@justmichaeljm3667only CC
She deserves her props, but it's just not her.
@@breakthroughnow yes it is just her breaking the college record brought tons of eyes on her and women’s basketball
the Caitlin Clark effect
Go ahead and say it - Thank you CC 👍❤️🏀🏆💎💯
Thank Catislyn Clark 😊
Thank Angel Reese
@@ghsense2626lol no.
@@ghsense2626 LMFAO....you people
@petep5207 Yeah she coming
@@petep5207 LOL Did you not see how empty the arena's were for both Chicago Sky games were?
Caitlin power is amazing!!!! I did not hear a thank you from none.of them.
They're too busy kicking her butt in National Championship games, to thank her.. unlike you, the Las Vegas Aces (who are 2 time WNBA champions), have too much dignity to start worshiping a woman, (Caitlyn Clark) who cannot win a women's National college basketball championship game..😂😂
Caitlyn power is clearly not enough to win a CHAMPIONSHIP 🤣😂🤣.. if Caitlin Clark wants that respect, she needs to win championship games like Angel Reese did.. and not dumb popularity contest.. sports is about winning and making money.. not about popularity contest..
@taipan1234 how much winning has Caitlin done? How much money has Caitlin made? 😂😂😂😂
@@madcow8114 less winning than Angel Reese.. Chicago sky won their second preseason basketball game 101 to 53.. let's see if Caitlin Clark could win her game by 45 plus points.. and I'm sure Caitlin Clark makes a lot of money..
@@taipan1234 caitlin was drafted by the worst team in the league!!! And they didn't have 2 first round picks. Settle down
Yay Kate Martin!!!
Not to mention all the extra revenues...lodging, restaurants, other retails, even concessions stands.
Caitlin Clark brought you ladies this. Without her nobody is interested in the wnba at all.. even with Caitlin, high school basketball is better
don't forget about the women that paved the way for caitlin clark and the wnba when it started don't discount the contributions of legend like lisa leslie, dawn staley, and maya moore
Why can’t anyone acknowledge the womens pioneers from the seventies
This is absolutely Awesome! Iam a brand new fan to the WNBA , Born and raised in Iowa, so I’m a Hawkeye that Is a huge fan of Caitlin, but I love all the players, and Women’s Basketball now so much! I’m also a New Indiana Fever Fan.
I can’t believe how excited Iam for all of this. I have never been so excited about a sport in my entire life and I have always loved sports. In a year for me, that has been a bit challenging with a few ups and downs that we all deal with, The WNBA, all of these great players and Womens Basketball Has been the one bright spot That is helping me keep my focus on something really promising and exciting instead of focusing on problems In our country and around the world
The Windy Weave had nothing to do with flights ✈
Haaaaaa!!!!!!!!
The WNBA is age wise going through the same things that the NBA did at roughly the same age. No chartered flights for the NBA until about 35 years after the league began. Most of the league losing money except for a few teams. Image problems, etc. The WNBA will get through their issues if the old guard can either retire or adapt to the changes coming now and the next few years. If not, it will continue to be a "supplemental league" existing only because of NBA funding.
Yay WNBA!!!! Go Aces! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congrats on the Gatorade A'ja!!!! ❤❤❤ Let's go!!!! 3-peat!
Caitlin Clarke should be thanked, but they will still trash talk her. The league can finally be what they always wanted, and because it's the Caitlin effect, they will do their best to drive fans away because it wasn't them bringing in the fans
Go Caitlin Clark 🖖💯
Say thanks to CC. The media continues to push Angel Reese as a super star even though she wasn’t even the first pick by Chicago. She scored 13 points in last nights game but two of her teammates scored 19 & 20 points and all you read about is Reese. AR will not be a dominant player for Chicago.
did the team that angel reese play on win or lose that night she scored 13 points - if you follow sports media you will see that they continue to push caitlin clark more than angel reese (you seem to have some personal problem with a women that won a national championship and was a star player at every level)
@@markparham I know Angel is a good player but she wasn’t even the #1 pick for Chicago. I just object to the media playing her up as a superstar when she isn’t even the best player on her team. Or pretending that she is drawing crowds the way CC is. That is a false narrative.
@@bdeana2961 michael jordan was not the number one pick what is your point only time will tell if the players drafted this year will become champions and wnba legends hype can only get you so far in sports
Angel wants to be an "influencer".
@@markparham I agree with you. Time will tell but it hasn’t happened yet and you hear almost nothing about the 5 picks in front of her. (I’m not including CC). She is being promoted on her looks not her play.
The Las Vegas "Anonymous Faces" LOL
Thank you Caitlin
Go Aces
Angel Reese just landed Chicago Sky a TV spot. Now all the games will be filmed for league pass so BIG DUBS for this rookie class.
We're excited that we could have doubled the salary for every player but instead we're gonna fly private.
One thing- more of an emotion than an argument against their having charters-
It was kind of nice that one pro league still mixed with regular folk. Sports stars have been elevated to god like status.
Again, I’m not really saying they should fly commercial.
That’s the most stupidest dangerous thing I’ve ever heard.
@@shinningserpent2 thanks so much for engaging with my comment.
As I said, twice, I see why they’re doing this and don’t oppose it. I just meant that the gap between pro athletes and the rest of society- like the gap between celebs and everyone else- is really wide and keeps growing.
Thank caitlin
They should be asking Diana what she thinks...
Three-peat aces!!!
*Thank Reese, Brink, & Clark.*
So happy that this is happening.
Thanks Caitlin ❤🎉 absolutely adore her
Thank you Caitlyn!
Thank you CC22 what yall should be saying
They all dodged the credit for flights
Espn, ABC need to up the TV$$$$$
"Caitlin clark fans are not racist" does anyone read the comment sections?
NBP Nothing but Positive!!!
It’s necessary
They should be thankful of CC22 and AR5
who is gonn pay for it?
The NBA
All the tickets cc has sold.
As soon as CC dropped 21 in that preseason game looking like her normal self removing any doubt the new W tv contract tripled or quadruple. So, that’s means the W players will double or triple their pay come next year after they negotiate a new CBA knowing all this money is coming in now. The NBA made that call to the W commissioner and said get her the hell on private flights. Thats our new MJ CC new nickname should be Money Making Clark 😂
Most fans just don’t realize Pro Sports make their money from their tv contracts not tickets sales & merchandise that’s just icing. CC’s reg season games alone will draw over 40 million + viewers this year. And if she makes the playoffs damn! And the Finals? Forget about it! They would outdraw the NBA Finals & reality will set in that CC’s impact is that of MJ. People her fan base is Families! That covers every demographic and why she moves the needle so much just like MJ.
That 40 million in regular season tv viewership is something the W as a league has never come close to in the history of the league. Thats why it’s all about CC all the time they don’t need to market another star and because there simple is no other player in the league that draw those numbers. It’s business it’s not personal! It’s not about race it’s about money! She is the new MJ the only true needle mover.
The NBA has been trying to make another MJ since he retired and they have all failed because the TV numbers have never recovered since MJ retired. But guess who brings in numbers similar to MJ?
Ticket sales is for individual team owners currently players get very little or no share. Merchandise goes to the owners also unless a threshold is meet but thats going chance quickly especially for CC anyways.
It’s a new day in WBB thanks to CC and her alone. Stop being emotional and understand it’s business W fans & players. Business!!
Big shots enough 🗣️cap❗️Make it happen
Fix your audio
What would they have done if you could have voted on getting a 50% increase in salaries. Security? You need to protect Kaitlyn from all the 10 year old girls wanting autographs. No one else will care.
No doubt about it's CC, Reese, Brinkley and the rest of the awesome draft class attention making this possible. Something the dinosaur Taurasi could not accomplish in 20 years.
Great news! The tide is rising.
Angel Reese’s superstar nature took this league to the next level 💯💛🩵
Reese is trash.
😅
Only in your dreams, Caitlin is the one who got this done.
@@dalewall3726 i’m sorry, but Angel Reese side hustle is high fashion, including making her WNBA announcement in vogue and attending the Met Gala. Please don’t downplay her power and influence.
The commentator is crazy!! NOTHING IS ABOUT ANGEL REESE OR ANY OTHER ROOKIE IN THE WNBA!!! The face of the WNBA is CC period!! Every last one of them should be thanking her for the possible gifts etc How long have they been fighting for chartered flighs?? The Aces have won back to back titles and still couldn't get chartered flights!
100 percent. The Fever (Caitlin) have generated 50 MILLION dollars in Home Game ticket revenue. Only reason charter flights are possible. The announcer has to be inclusive of at least one black player or the Racism chants will start and won't stop.
I LOVE it! I just thank God so Much because he uses the same people that think they are rubbing something in your face for your GOOD ! White America Media and The people that hated the Wnba Now cares about the Wnba ! They All of a sudden care about the Salary, How they Travel and using Better Facilities/ Arenas. This is Such a Blessing because now we will start seeing better contracts (thanks to CC Hype) and have Many Young Multi Millionaire’s in a league that is heavily dominated by Women of Color…God is Using CC to give those Young ladies what is overdue to them! This just sets our young ladies up for the future…JU JU needs to get ready for that 50 million plus Nike Deal when she’s done in College. Just like Bird was the Savior (Gods Plan) and Made Them Boys Multi Millionares/Billionaires! Thank You CC!!
Problem is, y’all will be so pissed in few months from now because Mostly Sisters will benefit from the pay raises and stuff……Quick Question, are y’all still mad about Tiger Woods Dominating Golf?? I love CC…y’all can feel good about her doing well in a sport dominated by colored people..I’m so happy for y’all…..I hope it last forever ❤
Angel Reece also
Angel does not move the needle.
Sorry but no.
Ya petty females didn’t say thank you to Clark? Fah ya, I’ll say it as a men, thank you Caitlin!
Angel also
Catlin or Angel had nothing to do with this. This was something already in the works since last season. You all need to chill with the extra ish***
The Caitlin Clark effect, sweetie.
Wrong. They were talking about the possibility. This is happening now because of Security for CC
@@quasarrad1464not just for security for CC but safety for the players and coaching staffs period. There are definitely fans right now who are a bit obsessive (there is a difference between passionate fan and obsessive fan - passion is healthy obsession is dangerous) who if something happened that they didn’t like would 100% harass the players involved or worse if given opportunity. I knew this was coming this season. I just assumed the league might let another incident like what happened with BG last year happen first.
Unfortunately with nba paying for all of this if it wasn’t for Caitlin I don’t think this would be happening, she’s their biggest investment they can’t let nothing happen to her
You know if Caitlin hadn't came into the Wnba this wouldn't be happening. It might have been talked about but til Caitlin came along nothing had been done.
I’ll only be watching Fever games. The players are the problem with the wnba with their arrogant attitude.
You'll be watching Chicago Sky too
@@ghsense2626nobody cares about Angel.
@@smandin1 you're lying you Clark hating aass fans care.
I thought about that too but i wanna set aside the Swoops, the Taurasi all the ones with the nasty attitude and focus on the good players with the talent and the right attitude. i have to say, the Storm and the Sparka game in Canada was LIT. Yes, CC and the Hawkeyes are my gateway, but I think there are a lot of like minded good hearts like CC in the league and I believe CC went to the WNBA because she sees these good hearts and talented players so Good on her!!!!
@@ghsense2626 You need to tell the Sky fans that because they are not going to the games. Both of their games had so many empty seats.
The wnba is still trash to watch, air balls and blown layups, almost comical.
Caitlyn Clark did nothing but get her butt kicked into National Championship Games..
You’re so obsessed about a league these women no longer play in. 😝😝
I see your still obsessed
🤡
Her and team beat SC to give them their only loss in 2 seasons, knocked defending LSu out of playoffs, stopping their repeat championship. Losing 2 championships went #1 in draft, selling out jerseys, arenas, $28 million dollar Nike deal and oh yeah now thanks to Caitlin teams have charter flights. So you say she hasn't done nothing, what has those that won championships done for the Wnba, absolutely nothing.
