@@cliffordnewell2445 how is she making the players a lot of money? Ya'll just say anything. Lol! Nothing in their contracts has changed. They make the same money they did before. She's definitely brought attention, fans and has them flying charter jets now but ya'll just be exaggerating. The WNBA will more than likely still lose money and need the NBA to bail them out.
They're also disallowing women players to not have abortions. Or more accurately, allowing them to do so but not allowing them to continue playing for their WNBA teams.
I understand it,i have worked and played with those people all my life: racissm and jealousy. Its a seething demon,always there,but quieted only when you give them what they want,even if its just fake praise and they know it. I dont think it will ever change honestly....
The other players in the WNBA should be thanking Caitlin Clark. She has raised the attendance, viewership and profile of the entire league. She is why there are more people watching and talking about the WNBA than ever before.

Exactly!!! But it's ridiculous that Caitlin got a technical foul, when imho, their Coach & this player should've been the 1s to get the fouls! Caitlin said in her postgame interview that her foul definitely galvanized how she played in the 4th quarter, but if she gets 2 more she's suspended 4 a game?!?! That's what bonkers!
It's an art form watching her!!! Some people have said she reminds them of Wayne Gretzky!!! Gretzky was so young like her when he started & Gretzky is really the hockey player that transcended the sport & expanded it more in the U.S!
Clark brushed her off like the flea she is....this crackpot Storm player was all over Clark late in garbage time as if it was game 7 of the NBA finals with seconds remaining in a tied game.

And lost decisively. The result wasn't down to a missed basket or a bad referee call, the Fever busted the game open in the fourth quarter. It was like they figured out the Storm's defense, which was smothering for three quarters.

CC has elevated the presence of the WNBA in the eyes of general Basketball fans and this is the recognition that the WNBA has been looking for 30 years. But with the added eyeballs we see the pettiness and amateurism, from the player to officials and coaches. If they want to be considered a bonafide sports league they need a reset on their attitude and competence..
Well said! I agree 100%. CC has revealed the novice skill level of a league full of “grown women who have been playing for a long time!” Remember…”there’s levels to this, SVP!” BWAAA There sure are…. Low and lower!
We need some professionalism in the WNBA. They are acting like it’s a mean girls club. I really think the old guard thought they were gonna break CC and now they are in the anger stage of grief.
She has Steve, the big bald white dude thats her own personal body guard! Hes with her ALWAYS! He walked over and stood next to Sides when Storm coach was talking shit!
A main problem the Fever were wrestling with was Caitlin not being available for pre-season practices because she was still playing in college games. This means that zero chemistry-building happened before the season's games began in the WNBA, and the team's schedule of games was so heavy that they couldn't have many practices then. Prior to the Olympic Break all of the chemistry-building between Caitlin and other players had to happen during games through trial and error, and only Aliyah seemed to be meshing with Caitlin. What we're seeing now is the result of the team practices that were finally able to happen during the break, and you can bet that one of the things Sides focused on was running passing drills between Caitlin and other players. As a result, we're seeing drastically improved ball-handling during passes and better play-flow for the entire team. The improvement of passing-chemistry between Kelsey and Caitlin after the break is phenomenal, with Kelsey being a force on the court when Caitlin feeds her the assists. What blew the Storm apart in the 4th quarter was Sides unleashing Lexie and Kelsey as sharpshooters for 3-point shots when the Storm were trying to stop Caitlin by double-teaming and triple-teaming her to keep her out of the paint. Sides had given Caitlin a few rest breaks during the game, and in the 4th quarter Caitlin unleashed her speed on the Storm. She'd drive into the paint and if the Storm didn't flock to her she'd score layups. When they flocked to her, Caitlin dumped passes back out of the paint to Lexie and Kelsey. There were a couple of hilarious times when Caitlin was close to the paint, faked as if she was driving for it, and then dumped the ball out to an unguarded Lexie for 3-point shots from behind the defenders. To add insult to injury, even Aliyah got in on the fun of dumping assists out of the paint into the distance-shooting hands of Lexie and Kelsey. Skylar and Noelle acted pissy at the end of the game because they were angry and embarrassed at how easily the Fever whipped their butts in the 4th quarter. Caitlin was running circles around Skylar, and consistently outwitting her by aborting drives and passing out to Lexie and Kelsey, and Noelle had no idea of how to coach her players to be able to stop what was happening.
Clark is undeniably on her way to MVP Road. People may hate her...block her ,deny her of what truly belongs to her like a spot in the olympics, but they just incriminate themselves in the process. Learn from Taurasi. Her mantra of REALITY IS COMING BOOMERANGED TO HER.

Jealous? What idiots! Don't they understand every player's salary in the League will double, or triple or who knows how high because of her! Each player who is distinguishing themselves as a Clark hater will live to regret that decision. Too bad for them.
Still don't know how Ionescu got player of the month for July when Caitlin beat her on all but 1 stat, broke multiple records, and scored a triple double. It just tells me she's not going to be in the conversation for MVP even if her stats are good enough.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness here. Because TH-cam knows I'm interested in keeping up with the fever, I get many videos suggesting the topic. Unfortunately, 9/10 of them are just trash clickbait, and some are AI. Thank you for being human and offering your perspective.
I think jealousy and hate are part of the motivation for this petty behavior but I think at its core its FEAR..fear of her power, her explosive playing, fear that she can't be controlled..
Right on, there's an old James Caan movie called Rollerball which explains the leagues motives perfectly. No one player is allowed to be bigger than the "game" no matter how popular they are
*I can promise you that the WNBA was like a retirement home where players collected their welfare checks for 28 years and played slow basketball like little old ladies. Did you ever watch them play? The WNBA players would walk or slowly jog to the other side of the court, while college players are always running from one end to the other. Well, Caitlin Clark brought her fast-paced college-style basketball to the WNBA, and these old, slow players don't like how she's disrupting their retirement pace. That's why they're trying to beat her down and slow her to the WNBA's pace. But as we've all seen, Caitlin Clark won't have any of that-she’s going to run as much as she can.*
Glad I found your channel. This whole Caitlin Clark jealousy thing makes no sense at all. I like your takes. The entire WNBA from the Owners and General Managers to the Coaches need to get together and decide what they really want. If they want their league to grow and prosper, they need to get their priorities straight. If not, then continue to act out of jealousy, racism, and sexual orientation bias and enjoy your mediocre attendance, salaries and contracts. It may be time to form a completely new Women's basketball league to compete with the W.
Caitlyn Clark teammates are starting to realize she is not a selfish player! If they are open? Caitlyn Clark is going to give them the ball. The Indiana Fever coach is still trash! The difference is now her teammates see she makes everyone better! The WNBA league better protect the golden goose! Because Caitlyn Clark can stop playing basketball anytime she wants to! And these jealous and hateful players need to get over it! Caitlyn Clark is here until she stops having fun!
It's not that they see she makes them better.They were not used to the way caitlin passes the ball.Now they know,Clark may throw the ball to them,at any moment.
What you need to highlight is that without Boston, Clark isn’t the player she is currently. look at the percentage of assists she has for each player. Also include the pick n roll plays with the two. Then include the rebounds that Boston gets that leads to assists from Clark. People, yourself included highlight Clark but dismiss Boston’s contributions. Remember she was the rookie of the year, the season prior to Clark’s arrival.
Women deserve their reputation they've earned! This is why they shouldn't be in positions of authority. Just telling it like it is, so don't respond negatively.
Amen to that! Hire all male coaches to settle down the chaos. Caitlin Clark got their asses back. th-cam.com/video/Q9qyhDR8RSI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eJacEnb6c0_NxHsH
Whoa. Some women that are more logic driven make great leaders and don’t let personal feelings get in the way. Most countries are run by men, as u can see it’s a mess😅😅😅
It is interesting to me that it took the drafting of Caitlyn Clark and half a season of learning to pay attention to her and her basketball IQ for the Indiana Fever to finally start playing like a professional basketball team. And it isn't at all surprising to me that the rest of the league hates her for exposing them as the amateurs they've been for the last 27 years. A lot of people want to compare Clark to Steph Curry, but I think she's more like Larry Bird. A floor general that is basically teaching the rest of the league how the game is supposed to be played, even as a bloody rookie.
Definitely Larry Bird. I think a lot of people making the comparison to Curry aren't old enough to have seen Bird play, and talk some shit and back it up.
Ur certainly not the only 1 to make the comparison! I just said, I've seen ppl compare her passing & assists also to Wayne Gretzky?! Lol‼️😂 I had to laugh watching yesterday's game. I was excited 4 her, a midst all the excitement of the 3s raining 🌧️ down, I noticed she'd added a floater shot to her game!!! And CC made 2 scores in the mid court w/o using the paint. {not sure if I'm saying that right?! } But during their break she spent time working on that spec shot! What's sad, is ppl who r either jealous or who think it's all hype, don't realize how much she's worked for yrs & only continues to work!!
@@petervavaroutsos449Yep! And Caitlin lol 😂 wuld be 1 of them‼️ I think she's take pride in both, but clearly she's ALREADY the best PG in the league! I do know she takes pride being called "The female version of Steph Curry!" Steph has said, she can do more than him, talking her passing, but also has said, her release time is the same as his. She's shot more 3s in College BB, than Steph C did!
This is my first time seeing your video. You remind me of Colin cowherd you see the game from a really good understandable angle. You earned my sub with this video💪🏽
So sad that way too often people are all to happy to begrudge and diss others . As far as Caitlin. the rest of the players in the league should appreciate the attention to their sport that she has garnered , increased ticket sales, media exposure , jersey sales , concessions sales etc etc . She appears to be a very talented, gracious and unselfish teammate that looks to make those around her better .
If yall think the hate is bad now, just wait until CC gets her confidence back in her logo 3's and starts sinking them, because when that starts happening, AND IT WILL, the Fever will be absolutely BLOWING teams out of the water!
Totally agree… Caitlin Clark sells out the venues wherever she plays. Her brand is still growing because she delivers excellence. The WNBA brand was sluggish and lost money year after year. They were experiencing an uptick when Caitlin arrived. The other factor is character. Caitlin is so ernest and respectful win or lose. The WNBA has a thug mentality and unsavory image. After a hard foul the head coach gives kudos to her player and laughs. Really?
We got beef in these streets rach.. get the vaseline and take off them hoop earrings 🤣🤣🤣 ..They Mad Mad at CC. It's because in 1 year she's eclipsed all of their careers on multiple levels, money, fame and game.
@@onizoddThis Storm team is something else! That Magbegor almost took CC’s head off that one game where no foul was called, Vivians, as you said, popped Clark for no reason, and then in the last game, that Mercedes Russell look to purposely shouldered CC on the way to their benches for a timeout. Then there was the incident yesterday with Diggins-Smith and the coach, where I think the two were both upset at CC hyping the crowd. Thing is, Noelle Quinn saw the push by Diggins-Smith, the one which pushed CC towards the Storm bench, and instead of being mad at her own player for that, she’s mad at what she termed the gamesmanship that the Fever displayed! Unbelievable! So, it’s okay to physically hit someone but not wave your arms to hype up the crowd?! No wonder Quinn referred to herself as the Ghetto coach.
2:09 right here is the exact reason why I watch Caitlyn play. She reminds me of watching a Kobe/MJ type fiery passion and need to be perfect and win the game. Caitlyn’s chasing perfection and that’s why I started watching her by chance 3 years ago and haven’t missed a game since. I love seeing people compete to be the best versions of themselves and they show it, when they are reserved especially off the court.
WNBA jealousy and ill feeling will only get worse because Clark and the Fever are getting better and better. It is wrong, unfair and stupid, but it's human nature.
@@A_Trill_OG You sure about that? I don't see viewers flocking to their TV sets to watch Aja. Not this year and not in the past 7 years. The "V" in MVP stands for Valuable.

“You don't have to unscrew another woman's light bulb in order for you to shine.” Saying that Diggins in that clip is Emotionally Unstable and needs to get some help.

The WNBA needs to work on their PR like starting tomorrow… Show some Class and grow up… Kids are Watching…✌️
Nah, shes not a lesbian, and shes been bullied and treated like crap too, which is odd that she is doing to CC what she complained about happened to her, which it did!
Haters gonna hate and there will always be jealousy when you're second best. What makes her special is she doesn't let it break her down, she just elevates. A true gifted professional.

Maybe there was a reason for it.....
Thank you for Clarity,your the best!!
Never heard of you prior to this video, I just subscribed. Lucid, common sense, well thought out commentary. Thank you!
They wanted Caitlin off the floor so she wouldn’t get another double double.
Still don't know how Ionescu got player of the month for July when Caitlin beat her on all but 1 stat, broke multiple records, and scored a triple double. It just tells me she's not going to be in the conversation for MVP even if her stats are good enough.
Player of the month is voted on by sports writers and broadcasters.The players and coaches,have nothing to do with it.
The Wnba is all politics
@@snave59 so ? what is your point ??
Clark and her team are playing so much better!
I appreciate your thoughtfulness here. Because TH-cam knows I'm interested in keeping up with the fever, I get many videos suggesting the topic. Unfortunately, 9/10 of them are just trash clickbait, and some are AI. Thank you for being human and offering your perspective.
I think jealousy and hate are part of the motivation for this petty behavior but I think at its core its FEAR..fear of her power, her explosive playing, fear that she can't be controlled..
I disagree.It's jealousy.The players don't like how Clark,is a newcomer.And is already the most popular player,in the WNBA,by far.
Right on, there's an old James Caan movie called Rollerball which explains the leagues motives perfectly. No one player is allowed to be bigger than the "game" no matter how popular they are
*I can promise you that the WNBA was like a retirement home where players collected their welfare checks for 28 years and played slow basketball like little old ladies. Did you ever watch them play? The WNBA players would walk or slowly jog to the other side of the court, while college players are always running from one end to the other. Well, Caitlin Clark brought her fast-paced college-style basketball to the WNBA, and these old, slow players don't like how she's disrupting their retirement pace. That's why they're trying to beat her down and slow her to the WNBA's pace. But as we've all seen, Caitlin Clark won't have any of that-she’s going to run as much as she can.*
Ha ha..
Glad I found your channel. This whole Caitlin Clark jealousy thing makes no sense at all. I like your takes. The entire WNBA from the Owners and General Managers to the Coaches need to get together and decide what they really want. If they want their league to grow and prosper, they need to get their priorities straight. If not, then continue to act out of jealousy, racism, and sexual orientation bias and enjoy your mediocre attendance, salaries and contracts. It may be time to form a completely new Women's basketball league to compete with the W.
Caitlyn Clark teammates are starting to realize she is not a selfish player! If they are open? Caitlyn Clark is going to give them the ball. The Indiana Fever coach is still trash! The difference is now her teammates see she makes everyone better! The WNBA league better protect the golden goose! Because Caitlyn Clark can stop playing basketball anytime she wants to! And these jealous and hateful players need to get over it! Caitlyn Clark is here until she stops having fun!
It's not that they see she makes them better.They were not used to the way caitlin passes the ball.Now they know,Clark may throw the ball to them,at any moment.
Glad to see Diggins getting the bad publicity she deserves.
Lol those salty players dont realize whatever they do to CC will just add to her legend when it's all said and done.
My first watch of one of your videos. Great job, love your directness and honesty. IMHO, CC is clearly without a doubt WMBA MVP 2024.
Yeah, the Seattle Coach didn't realize she has to really coach now!
Spot on!
Awesome video, Rachel!
My problem is that it is called the Most Valuable Player not the best player. Caitlin is by far the MVP not necessarily the best overall player.
No she’s not! Aja is the best, Most Valuable, and greatest player of this era all rolled into one.
@@howarddickersonjr.6994 Cc more valuable to fever than aja is to aces. Aces will so better without her than fever would without Clark
@@howarddickersonjr.6994 If she's all that then why doesn't as many people enjoy watching her play??
@@dominicharris5489lmfao you sound fucking dmb cc has two other all dates so does Aja have cover Aja is phucking leagues above Clark
@@howarddickersonjr.6994 😭
What you need to highlight is that without Boston, Clark isn’t the player she is currently. look at the percentage of assists she has for each player. Also include the pick n roll plays with the two. Then include the rebounds that Boston gets that leads to assists from Clark. People, yourself included highlight Clark but dismiss Boston’s contributions. Remember she was the rookie of the year, the season prior to Clark’s arrival.
Women deserve their reputation they've earned! This is why they shouldn't be in positions of authority. Just telling it like it is, so don't respond negatively.
Agree.Women are jealous and catty.
Amen to that! Hire all male coaches to settle down the chaos. Caitlin Clark got their asses back.
th-cam.com/video/Q9qyhDR8RSI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eJacEnb6c0_NxHsH
Whoa. Some women that are more logic driven make great leaders and don’t let personal feelings get in the way. Most countries are run by men, as u can see it’s a mess😅😅😅
@@BabySpit they need male coaches to counter the chaotic nature of the females in the wnba
Great show! I enjoy watching your show.
It is interesting to me that it took the drafting of Caitlyn Clark and half a season of learning to pay attention to her and her basketball IQ for the Indiana Fever to finally start playing like a professional basketball team. And it isn't at all surprising to me that the rest of the league hates her for exposing them as the amateurs they've been for the last 27 years. A lot of people want to compare Clark to Steph Curry, but I think she's more like Larry Bird. A floor general that is basically teaching the rest of the league how the game is supposed to be played, even as a bloody rookie.
😂😂😂
Definitely Larry Bird. I think a lot of people making the comparison to Curry aren't old enough to have seen Bird play, and talk some shit and back it up.
Ur certainly not the only 1 to make the comparison! I just said, I've seen ppl compare her passing & assists also to Wayne Gretzky?! Lol‼️😂 I had to laugh watching yesterday's game. I was excited 4 her, a midst all the excitement of the 3s raining 🌧️ down, I noticed she'd added a floater shot to her game!!! And CC made 2 scores in the mid court w/o using the paint. {not sure if I'm saying that right?! } But during their break she spent time working on that spec shot! What's sad, is ppl who r either jealous or who think it's all hype, don't realize how much she's worked for yrs & only continues to work!!
@@petervavaroutsos449Yep! And Caitlin lol 😂 wuld be 1 of them‼️
I think she's take pride in both, but clearly she's ALREADY the best PG in the league! I do know she takes pride being called "The female version of Steph Curry!" Steph has said, she can do more than him, talking her passing, but also has said, her release time is the same as his. She's shot more 3s in College BB, than Steph C did!
This is my first time seeing your video. You remind me of Colin cowherd you see the game from a really good understandable angle. You earned my sub with this video💪🏽
Noelle Quinn, coach your team and Cristie Sides will coach hers.
Exactly.Worry about your own team! What Sides does with her players,is none of your darn business.
Well said!
So sad that way too often people are all to happy to begrudge and diss others . As far as Caitlin. the rest of the players in the league should appreciate the attention to their sport that she has garnered , increased ticket sales, media exposure , jersey sales , concessions sales etc etc . She appears to be a very talented, gracious and unselfish teammate that looks to make those around her better .
You don't understand women.zThey are jealous and catty.That is just how they are.
How am I only NOW coming across your channel?? Subscribed🤩
If yall think the hate is bad now, just wait until CC gets her confidence back in her logo 3's and starts sinking them, because when that starts happening, AND IT WILL, the Fever will be absolutely BLOWING teams out of the water!
Love your takes :)
Caitlin should get MVP consideration but there is a power structure in place...thats more in tune with maintaining a specific brand and look
Totally agree… Caitlin Clark sells out the venues wherever she plays. Her brand is still growing because she delivers excellence. The WNBA brand was sluggish and lost money year after year. They were experiencing an uptick when Caitlin arrived. The other factor is character. Caitlin is so ernest and respectful win or lose. The WNBA has a thug mentality and unsavory image. After a hard foul the head coach gives kudos to her player and laughs. Really?
The WNBA cannot handle that CC is the future GOAT 🐐 and thee present QUEEN BEE 🐝 💯
CC is so over the nonsense its making them all insane
Love your take... Just watched then "uwian na"... :)
We got beef in these streets rach.. get the vaseline and take off them hoop earrings 🤣🤣🤣 ..They Mad Mad at CC. It's because in 1 year she's eclipsed all of their careers on multiple levels, money, fame and game.
Maturity and class are important. All sports players should strive for that.
I'm sure Caitlin Clark thought it was funny, Skylar Diggins is a quiet geeky nerd, her pretending to be a thug was a little crazy to watch
I heard Vivians is actually really nice too, but she popped CC for no reason
@@onizodd Ca't stand either one of them.
@@onizoddThis Storm team is something else! That Magbegor almost took CC’s head off that one game where no foul was called, Vivians, as you said, popped Clark for no reason, and then in the last game, that Mercedes Russell look to purposely shouldered CC on the way to their benches for a timeout. Then there was the incident yesterday with Diggins-Smith and the coach, where I think the two were both upset at CC hyping the crowd. Thing is, Noelle Quinn saw the push by Diggins-Smith, the one which pushed CC towards the Storm bench, and instead of being mad at her own player for that, she’s mad at what she termed the gamesmanship that the Fever displayed! Unbelievable! So, it’s okay to physically hit someone but not wave your arms to hype up the crowd?! No wonder Quinn referred to herself as the Ghetto coach.
2:09 right here is the exact reason why I watch Caitlyn play. She reminds me of watching a Kobe/MJ type fiery passion and need to be perfect and win the game. Caitlyn’s chasing perfection and that’s why I started watching her by chance 3 years ago and haven’t missed a game since. I love seeing people compete to be the best versions of themselves and they show it, when they are reserved especially off the court.
WNBA should have a retreat ...team building and basketball clinic ...
WNBA jealousy and ill feeling will only get worse because Clark and the Fever are getting better and better. It is wrong, unfair and stupid, but it's human nature.
Hi Rachel - did the Storm coach want to make sure that CC didn’t get a double-double with 9 assists?
CC for MVP
Stop it she’s no where near that
@@A_Trill_OG You sure about that? I don't see viewers flocking to their TV sets to watch Aja. Not this year and not in the past 7 years. The "V" in MVP stands for Valuable. There is no question how valuable CC is not only for her team but for the entire league. She sells out arenas everywhere she plays. There is nothing more valuable than her in the WNBA.
@@A_Trill_OGseeing your avatar, of course you don't agree.
@@nickv4073 many been doing that ya little punk she’s the best in the league been the best and she got championship rings at every level Caitlin got 0 so just stop it only white people and Uncle Tom blacks care about Caitlin Jenner Clark
@@malebovinemanure my avatar ain’t got nothing to do with it kiddo if Reese never played for LSU I wouldn’t have it up there if Tspoon never went to college at Louisiana Tech then was on the pelicans staff for a few years that wouldn’t even be my avatar it’s showing support to both them that balled down here in the boot youngster
A great analysis. You

ESPN is desperate for clicks it would seem.
You always provide honest, insightful content. Go Caitlin!

Saying that Diggins in that clip is Emotionally Unstable and needs to get some help. I understand she has a History with Mental Illness but her Actions in my opinion should have Consequences… Purposely speeding up to bump a Player, then have words with the Opposing Coach… Who does she think she is?
The WNBA needs to work on their PR like starting tomorrow… Show some Class and grow up… Kids are Watching…✌️
It’s basketball and emotions are always high during competition. Once the game is over the game is over! They all go home.
Can you imagine living with yourself so full of hate? Or is this all for show?
Nah, shes not a lesbian, and shes been bullied and treated like crap too, which is odd that she is doing to CC what she complained about happened to her, which it did!
The Storm are sore losers.They are fine when they beat the Fever.Well now, the shoe is on the other foot.And they don't like it.Cry me a river.
Great commentary
Aja is clearly player of the year, but MVP??? thats 100% Caitlin Clark. rookie of the year is just the appetizer.
Haters gonna hate and there will always be jealousy when you're second best. What makes her special is she doesn't let it break her down, she just elevates. A true gifted professional.
Where was the T for Skylar Diggins' bumping CC, or the Storm coaches and players going after the Fever coaches w seconds left?
@@TedBarber-yh3jk Caitlin does far worse so hush

CC is just so fun to watch. Such an underrated passer. She cooked my Mercury the other night 😂
Nice vid. I believe the fever are going to be dangerous in the playoffs and cc should definitely be in the mvp convo even though I believe they're going to give it to aja wilson. But cc has been exceptional and she elevated the fever all the way thru. Sides seems to have given in and let cc do her. Can't wait for cc to break Alyssa Thomas assist record of 316
This is hurting the entire women nation honestly
No it’s not Caitlin being forced down everyone’s throat is what’s hurting the sport and nation
@@A_Trill_OG I was talking women dissing other women’s success
@@dreamcage1801 what success Caitlin has she’s ringless always loses the big ones that matter the most so stop it these other players far far more successful than her and better than her
Its the new hit show. Real Housewives of the WNBA.
@@nickv4073 funny one but true story
Awesome podcast Rachel! Fever definitely has a chance to be in the playoffs.
Why is this only an issue when Caitlyn Clark is the recipient? We never see this conversation with any other player.
Caitlin*
Because like it or not, CC is the WNBA. Without her, its back to no audience, no ticket sales, no merch sales. If she gets hurt, its over for the WNBA. The league office should be protecting her like she is the Golden Goose which she is.
NBA changed rules after Jordans rookie year. There are players them there is them.
@@nickv4073 comments like this are part of the problem
Ask the fans of the other players to make videos. Why don't you make a video on the other players?
Spot on analysis
Great video💯
Candace Parker is the only player to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season-2008 so far, CC MVP 2024
I'm annoyed that you read a tweet from that Delaney account. She is 100% a Caitlin hater at ALL TIMES. Everything she has ever said about Caitlin has been negative. Please NEVER put one of her tweets up again.
Thank you Rachel for putting light on this! As a woman, you're showing that not all women are petty and selfish.
Your take is spot on. CC and the Fever are simply more fun to watch
The league is showing EVERYONE why they got no respect for 3 decades.
thanks!

Awesome take I just subed
I saw a Carmax with A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu and Sue Bird. Never seen them before but now frequently. I am sure they think it has nothing to do with CC shining light on the W.
That commercial was airing last season as well.
