Why WNBA Players DESPISE Caitlin Clark

- Caitlin Clark is a name that's become synonymous with excellence in women's basketball.
She's a rising star in the WNBA, setting records and drawing in fans like never before.
But behind the accolades and applause lies a deeper, more contentious story.
Today, we're diving into why the WNBA seems to have a complicated relationship with Caitlin Clark.
What do you guys think, does Clark deserve all the hate?
It’s not hate..it’s competition. So in other words, you guys want the little white privilege to win over she’s got to earn her spot on that team as a professional baller.
Never
"Deserve"?, no. But it is actually very logical. Tom Brady was super-hated because no one won as much as he did.
No
No. They claim her popularity and the views and money she draws is about race and sexual orientation to disguise their massive jealousy instead of enjoying the perks of having a really great player with plenty of potential and professionalism on their team.
Simple: Even as a rookie, Caitlin speaks like a professional, conducts herself as a professional, and plays like a professional ... and they don't.
No, they don't, because they're petulant children.
That's because they act like thugs.
They despise her because she is a class act and doesn't fit into the expectations and standards of the status quo.
@AffordBindEquipment Hahaha
REMINDS ME OF JACKIE ROBINSON GETTING INTO BASEBALL. SAME DAMN THING.

They are just making themselves look like fools. I love caitlin clark, she's a great player and a great leader.
If Clark was a bad person or a bad teammate, maybe the hate would be warranted. But from what I've seen and heard, Clark is the consummate professional. The hate is nothing more than pure jealousy.
@jasonrichardson1208 She constantly argues and dishonestly flops more than anyone. She’s a crappy person to be honest.
@billiestevens318 So, all the hard fouls against her that I've seen in game footage are flops? Was she left off the Olympics Team for being a crappy person? 🤔
@@billiestevens318You really shouldn't go off your medications ... you are making no sense at all.
When you're despised by garbage it's no loss at all.
The problem is that if they keep targeting her, they could hurt her out of the game altogether. Far fetched? Just watch the hard fouls she has already endured. And she doesn't have the large body many of her opponents have.
Because she got it goin ON!!!!!! She’s straight! A very Talented Rookie! Breaking Records!!!! And All those Endorsements! Hands Down!!!!!!
Most of the players are straight with male boyfriends/husbands even families.
@@jaythomas3224 i saw a video that CC is not liked bc most of the league( i think the number was 80%) is black lgbtq and social activists... and CC is none of those and thats why a lot of people dislike her
@@jaythomas3224No they're not mostly straight. A survey was done and it showed that 60%+ were lesbians.
I am Sick & Tired of those who say these flagrant fouls are just "part of the game," especially comments made by the Heads of the WNBA & NBA which are extremely offensive ...that's total BS ... this is Women's Professional Basketball, NOT Women's MMA Cage Fighting ... Players should behave like Professionals, on the Court and NOT like Street Thugs ...
@robertbartelmes7623 You are sick and tired? Oh no
Right on the money. This mediocre 20 plus year business failure has been off the radar because fans generally have low tolerance for mediocrity and failure. If the league, now blessed with an opportunity to climb out of the sewer, continues to rough up the golden goose then after a year or two Caitlyn and other true stars will move on and the WNBA will settle back into the same non-profit circus that it was before Caitlyn appeared on the scene.
We have all seen it before
@@billiestevens318 Troll alert!!
The reason why the wnba is hating on Caitlin Clark is because the wnba is who is mostly black and mostly lesbian with racist, heterophobic, jealous insecurities is why they are hating on Caitlin Clark who is white, heterosexual, is a phenomenal basketball player who's is the epitome of professionalism and class, who has single handedly caused ticket sales for the Wnba's games to literally quadruple in numbers, who single handedly has caused the number of viewers of the Wnba's games to literally skyrocket from thousands way up into the millions of viewers, who's already as a rookie continues to keep breaking records in stats as well as record numbers of viewers and ticket sales. That's why and it's all blatantly obvious to everyone who either is a fan or viewer of this season's Wnba's games.
That is one of the longest run-on sentences I’ve ever read.
@@jungleno. But it's the TRUEST run-on sentence you've probably ever read as well, right?
They hate her
I never watched WNBA before Caitlin .
Well perhaps you can provide a link where they all said they hate her
@@jaythomas3224 Did you even watch the video?
Swoops lost all credibility on her triad’s talking Caitlin Clark down.
The secret of her celebrity is that she is simply more interesting to watch than anyone else in the WNBA.
Caitlin out Plays Out thinks and Out Class You all. Your Self Destructingand Your pushing it. Only a Couple of Players are Trying the rest are Pissing and Moaning and Violently attacking Caitlan. Enough.. And Sides is Condoning it all. She has no Control. Why did they Pick CC out of the Draft. Enough of this Crap
No worry .. CC has many fans including me ❤ 🇵🇭
WNBA should thank Clark.. WNBA has been losing money the past 25 years, it never generated a profit.... Stop being petty, WNBA should be saying THANK YOU to Clark.....
CRAB MENTALITY...
I never watched WNBA before. Now I do. How is this not good for ALL the players?
Caitlin is a Boss and she's laughing all the way to the bank
Cheryl Swoops doesn't know what she's talking about because Caitlyn Clark did it all in 4 years
Notice how NBA vets welcome the new rookie class with open arms whereas some WNBA vets act like they have a chip on their shoulder and rookies are intruders in their domain. It's really a sign of some deep-seated insecurity in the OG that will hold back the growth of the league.
Caitlin Clark has more class and raw talent than all the other wannabes put together. Long live the queen!
fact--before Caitlin, very few cared about the WNBA. fact--with Caitlin, sellout arenas will be the norm.
They will be the norm until the WNBA kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. Which they are determined to do. Once they get rid of Caitlin they will have to go back to begging the NBA for money or else perish. They will probably perish. They are astoundingly cutting off their nose to spite their face. It's breathtaking to watch them destroy themselves.
Simple answer . . . Caitlin Clark is better than them in the WNBA!
You obviously watch Zero games. You made this comment the same day they get dismantled by Las Vegas
She is obviously not the best WNBA player, but she is easily the most fun to watch. Let's face it, a lot of boys high school teams could probably beat any WNBA team.
They hate CC. Why? The answer is very simple. Because CC they have to change. Yesterday they were best. Today they are good. Tomorrow they will be gone if they not learning be better. Yesterdey they were contented and and secure, but now they have to see themselves by a mirror. Nor for the skin, or the sexuality they're hating CC, this is simulacru. Media hyping that. No. They have to work harder, better and have to be more popular to the fans.
They are so jealous. It's quite obvious
They’ll do the wrong thing and when they do a law suit will end their careers!
The more they trash talk about caitlin, the more people get curious about her!!!
Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 154 games. Roger Maris did not hit his 60th home run until game 159. And he broke that record with homer #61 in game #162. Although that record has since been broken by Mark McGwyer and Barry Bonds, for several years Maris was the home run king. So Swoopes proclamation that a record should be considered broken only if it was done within the same number of games as the old record is meaningless.
With an asterisk. However undeserved. Roger Maris.
I really enjoy watching the WNBA. Where else can I watch players that can't shoot, can't jump, blow layups with refs allowing them to flatten each other? What's not to like?? I wish I could have been the first trans WNBA player. I'd love to play in those conditions...OH, but I could dunk. Disqualified...And shoot, and play legal defense, etc. Not to mention ref better then 99.9% of their refs...
WHAT A TRASH LEAGUE!!!
One real bright spot: the players are getting paid more then their worth, since the league never makes money. OH, CC is changing that...
I follow this from the Netherlands and i think all those haters are just jealous. They should be a shamed. Must be great to have someone so good in ur competition, they all benefit.
The ladies of the WNBA need to understand records are meant to be broken. Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer didn't hate on Tiger Woods when he broke the scoring records at the Masters. Jim Brown or Walter Payton didn't hate on Emmitt Smith when he broke the all-time rushing record. Kareem didn't hate on LeBron when he broke the all-time scoring record. Women need to support each other when they do that their sport will be liked. No one wants to watch women be catty and bicker in basketball, they watch it to watch basketball. If viewers want catty and bickering, they just watch RHW of whatever city.
CAITLIN IS A PROFESSIONAL AND THE CRY BABIES ARE THAT. BOO HOO..🤧
We ❤your game Ms Clark! All the way from Busan S Korea 🇰🇷 🇺🇸.
I love how some athletes trip over themselves to explain how an athlete shouldn’t perform at a certain level too soon. Apparently she should hold herself back because she’s not made from a certain template. On the other hand people are becoming aware of the sport because of her. Not just aware but not ignoring women’s bb
People are becoming aware of the sport now. And lots of people are not liking what they see. There are some ugly, ugly things being exposed about the WNBA. Not good.
Never watched WNBA before…now I am a fan 🦋
Swoopes also said she was 25 years old and took 45 shots a game, so she was wrong on all 3 points.
She makes shots that no one can.
And Sides has forbidden her to take those shots. CC has no friends on the Fever team, including the coach and GM and probably the owner. Pathetic.
The old wnba dislikes Caitlin first and foremost because she is head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the league. She makes other teams look foolish every game. Also shes white and the racists (wnba) can't handle it. The commentators bring up the racists issues because that's all they can do. She's the best player the wnba has.. As whoopi 'put it' - deal with it.!! If the time issue were in effect, (on records Caitlin beat) Hank Aaron wouldn't not have beaten Ruth's record.
I don't know, I admire her. But perhaps it bothers them that they used to be disproportionately underpaid, exploited from their university days for the profit of foreign exploiters, fought for many years and eventually started winning and getting concessions, better contracts and recognition of their personal qualities, and today's young stars come out as winners to what they fought for as fighters who get no deserved recognition for it? No one will give them back the money and media fame that strangers and calculating people have wrongfully credited to their accounts?
In time, hopefully soon, there will be a consensus and mutual understanding, there is no reason to blame the youth of today, Caitlin Clark specifically, for the faults of other people and old and different times.
She should have gone to the big 3 and told the WNBA to f...k off. Hindsight is 20/20.
To all the women... The more yall dislike her the more we men like her. I never gave a 💩 about the WNBA till now. If she leaves... Game over for yall.
Why can’t women just support other women who are working hard and are successful???
Because of their racism
She has class and they don't!
Excuses excuses! More jealousy and Racism!
She is not them. She is different in so many ways. She is low key, keeps a low social profile and has shown her selflessness, as a teammate, by the number of assists she had in college. Then, there is the talent. This kind of talent doesn’t come along very often and, when it does, people recognize it right away. It too is different. It stands head and shoulder above most other great players. She has the gift. And the others, although very good, don’t exude greatness. They remain jealous, vindictive and hating. Time will shut them all up. She will raise revenue, bring in hundreds of thousands of fans, and stir up the fan base to a greater extent than has been true for decades.
Sweet Jesus, get over it
Caitlin legitimiazes the league. You guys have been losing $$$$$$
Just jealous of her talent
They are jealous because Clark is offered money contracts the Jealous ones they do not know who they even are grow up
It would take a special kind of player/person not to feel envious and maybe resentful of CC. Fortunately most of them seem to be that kind of special person.
The greatest players never needed to say I'm great. The hate is only fueling CC, and she's doing a great job just playing the game.
Sportsmanship is KEY to the athletes coming up in this generation - and to pave the way for future generations. We are to help establish a long-perspective view of what it REALLY is to work and play as a team. My SERIOUS advice to any young and upcoming athlete from someone who learned (always learning) many hard lessons about integrity, humility, and character while playing several sports in junior high and high school: WE MUST remember this one truth - "Your talent will take you where your character won't keep you." Three attributes of a well-balanced and sound-mind athlete - humility (it's not a weakness but exercising self-control and strength restrained), integrity (it has lacked in past well-known sports athletes in over three decades, maybe even more), and character (this attribute will not only OPEN DOORS for you but will serve you well long after you leave the limelight and sports arenas). All this to say to - Angela Reese and Caitlin Clark - you both have a golden opportunity to play with these attributes and cut the head OFF of the MSM. You don't have to abide by sensationalism rules but rise to the occasion of playing and behaving as the young woman you were made to be - young women of excellence. This matters not just for you both and the roles you play in front of the cameras BUT behind closed doors. God is all about honoring those who seek to humble themselves and serve in unity. May God bless your journeys and instill a desire to love one another in all seasons. It's hard but NOT impossible!
I, like millions of others, started watching women's hoops only because of CC. Now, if she stays healthy and focused, she will be the Tom Brady of women's basketball. I only hope opponents don't keep targeting her and one day hurt her out of the game. Some are REALLY trying to.
I would take it as a compliment. When, in the history of professional sports, did an exceptional player not garner hate? I've never seen that, ever, period. The complaints are almost all the same, too soon, special treatment, too much money, too many opportunities, too much attention, etc. Just go back and look at any rising sports star from any league. It is a familiar script. One big difference now is that social media is king, and the peanut gallery is enormous. People can certainly argue about the race and orientation issues and those can be legitimate conversations, but let's be real. If Caitlin played badly, few people would be making the negative comments that they are. The way to get the bag is to play like a baller. People seem like they can't handle the truth that regardless of any reason or treatment, Caitlin is an incredible basketball player. There are issues that need to be addressed from a social standpoint, but let's face it, Caitlin's got game.
This is written before I hear your video. If you think it is anything other than being strait, white and attractive, you are wrong. After watching your video, it is NOT about Angel Reese. Chicago has a HUGE banner of Caitlin Clark hanging. Chicago, for a game with lowly Indiana, changed venues from 4200 seats up to 17,000 seats and sold tickets which in the old venue were started at $88.00, were now started at $275.00 and got up to $9151.00. After the Caitlin Clark game, Chicago, and Angel Reese went back to a 4200 seat unfilled stadium. Cheryl Swoops, before CC even started, lied about CC's years in college, which was 4, NOT 5. She also claimed CC was 25, when she was actually 22 + 2 weeks. You left off her record of out scoring the MALE record holder, Pete Maravich. She does NOT "only focus on her game," she focuses on her game, her professionalism and her ever present fans!
I’m a new WNBA fan because of Caitlin
Did Larry Bird and Tiger Woods go thru similar s**t ? (Like CC, combo of race + rookie + incredible performances)
Can't remember...
I've watched a lot of those players and I think it's pretty simple it's jealousy and bigotry, they are all wondering why she gets million dollar endorsements right off the bat while they don't so they may be right about part of it but that doesn't make it CCs fault. Personally I find all of this opposition to Clark juvenile
The wnba old guard accept the XY-chromonsone transgender "big", but not the flyover-state point guard. Who would have guessed?
Because she can actually play and she's the token white girl on the WNBA
Dianne Tauruis can always find work on deep space 9. as the security chief,s wife.
They don't...
They are jealous!!!
All saviors are despised at first.
Not a good strategy. It only will push CC to up her game. Only her teammates can stop her, but that is like shooting you own foot.
Let say " why do certain wnba players " . There are some ladies who know what this is going to do for them . They just kmow to keep it to themselves. Especially the ones working for league minimum wages. Its going up and they know it .
This narrative is just an extension of what is seen playing out on social media and other societal settings: in general, women and men handle team/group competition differently. Both can be fiercely competitive with each other within their genders. Both can experience jealousy and envy. Men commonly sacrifice their individual feelings for the ultimate goal of team victory. Women, however, seem to have more trouble doing this. Their individual emotions often take precedence over a collective cooperative effort, to the detriment of team success, and, ultimately their own individual ones. From a macrosocietal perspective, men have long perfected their approach throughout history in which cooperative group efforts reigned supreme. Whether in military, commercial, political or sports contexts, subordination of the individual to the team has been the most successful approach. Women, in their historically different roles, have much less experience in a team concept. Their experiences have been more domestic and relational, in which individual competitiveness is dominant over the gender group. In modern times, these roles have evolved but are still affected by the influence of the past.
Caitlin is wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What if I wore a t shirt that said, male, fearless and white.
So, have any of the fabulous sports journalist ask Cheryl Swoopes why she lied about Caitlyn’s record breaking career?
Very good question 👍
POS league doesn’t deserve CC.
A majority of black players, need anyone say more?
Stop with the Clickbait pop up channels. NO VETERAN or ROOKIE has said they HATE Caitlin Clark. Especially the Rookies whos also trying to pave their way on their respective teams. They all on loosing teams and struggling to make the playoffs. No time for hate
Angel Reese acts like other people got into the wnba for her too lmao.
Because CC is the G.O.A.T.
Jealousy she is better then all and she is white. And she is good
Sounds like a them problem. She hasnt done or said one bad thing about or against any of these women. Sounds racist to me. And meme doesnt count, we aint watching cause of her.
No angel, it's not about you at all.
Players in the wnba really care less about CC. It is actually all in her fan's 😅😅minds 😅😅😅😅😅
You got some nerve on you. I mean, to make such a statement without the sarcasm icon. (By the way. Where is that pesky button?) Some people might think you're serious
Great video your channel will definitely grow fast if you keep up content like this…..subbed 👍
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you stick around.
She's just better!
Shes just that great
Jealously!!!
Because she's good and she's W.
She should have Ice Cubes offer?
I never knew thete was a woman's basketball team before Clark
I only watch to see one person! CC!
STOP LYING ON
CAITLIN CLARK…
Ain’t nobody hating on her so stop lying.
She ain’t with the bs is all, she’s the loudest voice in the game right now, she knows there are hunters hunting her. She ain’t out t 7:40 o make herself a target for the bs. When you understand ready, then she will talk to you. But for now, let her live.
It's simple, she's everything they're not. 😉
Jealousy of a great player which I get. A tad of racism and resentment of news that focuses on her.
CAUCASIAN PLAYERS DO NOT DESPISE HER, ONLY COLORED PLAYERS, WHO ARE VERY ENVIOUS OF HER SKILLS. ALL THE ONES THAT SPEAK ABOUT HER HAVE NEVER BROKEN ANY RECORDS. REGARDLESS OF THEIR EXCUSES…
You mentioned nothing about race. Are you blind or afraid?
Just bored
@@djdonald243 Me too!!
@@oldschoolsaint I see what you did there
The young lady is great and that as nothing to do with black or white let’s just play the game lady’s
They don't despise her at all. You cc fans are weird
If the narrator is a " reporter " or presumably represents journalism, he needs to return to school. " ContentUOUS ", really ? Really ? Should've said " contentious ". ...But, hey, what the heck. Illiteracy is all the rage now.
Swoops lied and is jealous, at least Swoops should her info factual.
They don't despise her. She's treated the same. The media just highlights her
Racism racism racism…. Man fuck the haters
Jealous
If all it takes to be popular in the WNBA is to be White and popular, then why is no one talking about Cameron Brink?
Did reese play basketball in 8th grade?
