I'm sorry but Shohei Ohtani was Athlete of the year and its not even close. Biggest contract ever at 700mil, creates the 50/50 club, first DH to win NL MVP, wins the world series and was the main contributor to record viewers to baseball this year. And this is coming from a basketball fan in Australia who hated baseball and never watched a full game until Shohei drew me in this year.
You can’t compare viewership because baseball always has had a fan base, even tho it has dwindled a bit. Clark made people watch a sport world wide that no one cared about.
LOL -- so, Clark didn't win the NCAA title. Well I guess it's a good thing that guy's not a recruiter for a WNBA team, telling its owners, "Good news! I had a chance to sign Caitlin Clark from Iowa, but I passed -- they didn't win the title!"
Absolutely agree that Time Magazine got it wrong. Shohei Ohtani definitely should have been awarded athlete of the Year. Maybe Time magazine needed to tick the box for awarding it to a woman instead of who actually was the best athlete of the year.
Yes that's true, there are many great athletes in the world, if winning is the sole basis for this title then many athletes should be considered first. But I think it's the overall impact they have to other people. Especially if these people see that person as a great role model.
Kelvin is absolutely right. Caitlin Clark have changed the entire WNBA league. So what if she didn’t win, what Caitlin did in this country and globally is astounding. What female college player had 18.9 million views in the championship game. Caitlin Clark is the “TRUTH.”
of course! Don't forget her major accomplishment in college. She is the ALL-TIME leader in points for both men and women! Plus breaking over 67 records in her first year! First player to score a triple double for a rookie. I can't believe Diana Taursi didn't do that!
Caitlin is great, but the WNBA is miniscule and what she done on the court was not good enough to win her the MVP. Years from now I know people will remember Ohtani's achievement, but the Caitlin hype may be dead in a couple of years.
I'm from the Philippines, baseball is not something I'm interested in.. But Shohei made me watch the Dodgers and follow them. Caitlin's contribution to women's basketball is awesome but Shohei is on a different level
It’s not close: EVERYBODY was talking about Caitlin Clark. It has nothing to do with winning, losing or even who’s the best athlete. It’s about cultural impact. Caitlin Clark is a household name. She was also a lightning rod for controversy. Players hating on her. Racial politics and whether not she could play in a men’s league. CC is everywhere.
EVERYBODY is talking about Ohtani. Why don’t you go compare the social media followers between the two as well as sponsorship earnings. It’s disrespectful to even put CC in the same sentence as a true international phenomenon like ohtnai
CC is not only impact her game in WNBA. When she went to other sports as a participant (goft) or as a audence. She drew all the spot light and eyes ball everywhere she went The biggest impact of 2024 among Athlete, I think Time gets it right.
Too bad for Clark she won. She may never live down the ultimate woke Time magazine article.. now she’s hoping another star will take her place as the face of this woke league.
My guy you’re being ridiculous right? If you actually follow baseball you’d know that Shohei didn’t help anyone one win either…till he went to a stacked team in the dodgers. So you expect a rookie going to the worst team to win? You’re a clown
@International-BlackMan im sorry I really really use to like Rob idk what happened to him over the last few years. But yeah you right should not go low like that is just feel like his takes be lower sometimes
Bro is this a popularity award? She didnt win anything. Aja Wilson was MVP and won Olympics FOR USA. DAWN Staley, Dan Campbell, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, Tank Davis, NY Liberty, JUJU WATKINS
CC probably broke over 100 records in 2024 between the NCAA and WNBA seasons, it would be hard to justify giving it to anyone else unless you insert DEI.
Rob is DEAD WRONG on this one! Rob argues against his own point when he mentions that baseball has been around for over 100 years. Yeah Rob. That means baseball's fandom is already built in! Caitlin Clark had people talking about and watching the Women's college basketball and the WNBA, WHO HAD NEVER WATCHED WOMEN"S BASKETBALL BEFORE!!! That's the difference!
Indiana Fever, how come this award is not in your website???? Isn't Caitlin part of your family???? Family celebrates achievements. This is massive and along with it is your brand Indiana Fever. By the way, WNBA also could not be bothered and they are already alluding to the WNBA becoming relevant.
I remember for years Rob was saying Curry couldn’t be a top player and get credit for those rings because he never won a finals MVP. So Ohtani should get no credit for winning the World Series because he wasn’t the MVP hell he wasn’t even the NLCS MVP. He was on a loaded dodgers squad tht carried him.
She played college basketball finals and took her team to the WNBA playoffs as a rookie. She changed college and women’s basketball. What did any athlete do this year that was that impactful?
Ohtani is a great player but he is only known to hardcore baseball fans and japanese people. CC captivated both hardcore basketball fans and casual fans. She was able to bring attention to a league that has been forgotten for years. I'am from the Philippines and I dont even know that there is such a thing as WNBA until Caitlin Clark. It is not about championship, it's the impact that she made to her sport and women sports in general. Anyway, I learned over the years that there is no sense arguing against someone who is so close minded. I just want to leave my comment here to let you know that CC is dominating even in Asia.
@@edwin-vv8bw not true. I wasn’t a fan at all then I watched CC in college break the scoring record (like many others did) and followed her through her rookie season (like many others did) I literally saw RUclipsrs from god damn Ireland following her this season. There’s a reason her games had to be played in larger stadiums and almost always sold out this year…which didn’t happen before
Ohtani is known by non baseball watchers too, you literally live under a rock. Ohtani is making an impact on baseball the same way Jordan did basketball. Of course you’re from the phillphines, everyone there is 5 ft tall yet basketball is the most loved, of course you know who cc is. It seems you don’t use logic, go outside of philliphines to other Asian countries and let’s see anyone who knows who CC is.
She added an additional 60 million? Wow. Shohei added that just to the Dodgers alone and then some. He did what no other player did in MLB history. He had to countries watching
@js77z the fact that his Jersey sales alone toppled her sales world wide. The fact that she averaged 1.2 million viewers and he had that in one play off series in Japan alone. He was a sensation in the 1st regular season game in Korea.
My guy you do realize there’s a difference between viewers of a sport that’s dying (the wbna) and a sport that was recognized as americas national pass time and is massively popular around the world right? What Cc did for her sport is leaps and bounds greater than what Shohei did. I’m a dodgers fan mind you and have been for 15 years. But I actually followed the WNBA for the first time this year and guess why?
Wow, a male athlete got a million more dollars than any other athlete that are paid millions. Surprise. It's about uplifting women and women's sports which sone can't understand. She is helping propel a movement. To try and get women to be paid millions of dollars. Its the whole point of why CC was chosen. We know men get millions already, old news
I agree with you about Caitlin and all. But if they want to improve that scenario you talking about. She needs a rival to promote and elevate that league in general sir😎
Clark put the WNBA on the map after 25+ years of obscurity. Ohtani had a great season, of course, but his impact to MLB was nowhere near the impact Clark had on the WNBA. Clark resuscitated a dead body. She reanimated a long, dead corpse. Again, Ohtani had a great season, historic, the Dodgers won the World Series, he was integral in that World Series win, but he played on a stacked team that likely would’ve, at the very least made it to the World Series, if not winning it even without him. Clark also had a historic season, breaking countless rookie, and league records. She broke a attendance records, whether at home or on the road. She broke merchandise sales records. She is an all likelihood significantly more famous than even Ohtani, and likely more famous than any athlete in America today, male or female. She earned this award.
@ IG? You must be 13. No athlete, college or pro, in any sport has had more coverage, and more of an impact on their sport than Clark over the last two years. By the way, MLB has been doing just fine without Ohtani over the last 100 years, while the WNBA has been bankrupt, dependent on the NBA for its very survival, and has never received the media coverage, television viewership, attendance and merchandise records that Clark has generated. IG; embarrassing.
Caitlin Clark didn't win the NCCA title. Got the 1st pick of the draft overall. Win Rookie of the Year in WNBA. She and her team were the first to get booted out of the playoffs in the preliminary rounds in WNBA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not just that, she terminated her WNBA contract so fast to switch over to women's golf. WOW. Time magazine went full wokeism by supporting feminism. Really, y'all pick CC over Shohei Ohtani just cause y'all felt bad for her completely utterly failure? Shohei Ohtani's accolade ⬇️ 700 millions MLB contract The Ippei Mizhuara Scandal 40/40 walk-off grandslam First 50/50 club Best game stats vs the Marlins Hit the longest HR ball in MLB history 2nd place stolen base to Acuna Jr Tied HR history with a new team in a single season to Babe Ruth Breaking both Japanese born player such as Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki Win both 2x AL MVP being the best hitter and pitcher Win WBC against his former player Mike Trout and WBC MVP 1st player to win DH MVP in MLB history Win his first WS with a new team in a season
ROB....Shohei Ohtani was ALSO caught gambling on baseball by using his translator as a proxy...and it was swept under the rug, just like the NBA did for Michael Jordan. While Ohtani almost SANK a league, Caitlin totally SAVED one. Talk about THAT...
Where is your proof that he was caught gambling and it was swept under the rug? For your accusation to hold any water, you have to provide proof that disproves the federal investigation that exonerated Ohtani. Also, the translator gambling scandal didn’t even come close to almost sinking mlb, what a stupid take.
He didn’t have to transcend it because baseball was always good not like wnba. He won regular SEASON MVP, WORLD SERIES AND 50/50 and had the highest contract in baseball (until soto recently broke it). That’s athlete of the year to me.
@Blogddae That's the point. WNBA has been in the red since it started. Now, she is bringing the attention and spark to change that. We said she is amazing she isn't God. It's impossible for one player to turn millions of dollars owed to NBA over multiple yrs in 1 season. But it's possible that might happen sooner than later. Men sports in general already get millions more than women. We know that. It isn't new
Ohtani is a 3 time MVP and won a championship in his first year with a new team! This is a joke! CC can’t hold Aja Wilson’s jock strap let alone a 3 time MVP and champion in Ohtani! 💨 is a helluva drug!
Yeah Ohtani is a 3 time MVP who was irrelevant till he went to a stacked team. You want a rookie to carry the worst team in the league to a chip? Glad you don’t have a vote on any awards because you don’t know sports clearly
Look at CC's college career. Pretty much broke every record there is! And attendance over the 🌙 moon for her games in college and pros. Baseball has many stars. Gonna' have crowds with or without Ohtani. WNBA fans flocked to her games! Had to change venue's to hold all the fans! Broke records in her rookie year! Double and triple teamed and hacked every game and still broke record's! Ohtani great hitter, but didn't have to deal with the hater's like CC does, from player's, media and racists. Ohtani on a stacked team. CC not so much. Same in college. She beat the best teams by balling out. Played stacked teams and beat em'. 2 yrs. in a row.
@ A lot of basketball legends she knows that didn’t win a championship in their sport. That’s all yall have on CC right now. I wonder what will be the excuse win she wins a championship?
CC was the right choice come on? How many years has that baseball player been playing in the league? CC broke tons of records in college and continued that in her rookie season. Everything she touches turns into gold. She will get her big win that people that don’t know what taking about use to put her down. Everyone knows who CC is can’t say that for this baseball player. Why can’t people just congratulate her instead of hate and make excuses why she shouldn’t have won. Did they do this for all the others winners of the award? Just stop already
Shohei is probably the best baseball has seen since Babe Ruth. However, he didn't have nearly the national and global impact that Caitlin did, and that argument isn't close. Caitlin took the WNBA from obscurity to prominence by herself, Shohei didn't change the national attraction to baseball by any measureable degree....
Isn't close? Ohtani brings in the whole country of Japan with him alone. You can count all of asia as well. And asia's population is globally, is more than half the world's population. Mega TV deals and international sponsorships as well. Caitlin Clark doesn't have any of that, not even close.....
Mlb viewership has risen since ohtanis MVPs, do you live under a rock? It had more viewers than the nba finals, you have no idea what you’re even talking about. You want to bring up wnba viewership? It doesn’t even sniff mlb, their in negative profit lmao
You seriously think about it? Do you know How many people in japan and china and Korean Taiwan ? In there Every one knows otani ! But perhaps nobody knows cc!
Caitlin Clark is 10x more popular than Ohtani. Stop! She's changing the WNBA game and across sports and around the globe. She broke every record possible as a rookie.
At least they play basketball in most country's baseball not so much or if they do it's a minor sport. Hate to tell you Rob but no one really follows baseball in Australia people follow cricket. It's like Superbowl champs like to call themselves world champions when the reality is only America plays it. I think worldwide Caitlyn is a bigger star.
. This guy is wrong on so many accounts. All of the WNBA finals games were sell outs without CC. After everyone said no one would watch once CC was eliminated from the playoffs. Sabrina Ionescu was shooting logo 3's before CC. CC wasn't the reason for the charter flights. Security was the reason. The women's Olympic team still won the gold medal without CC. CC isn't the athlete of the year. If you were going to give it to a female basketball player. Aja Wilson is far more deserving than CC.
Ohtani played on a LOADED dodgers team top to bottom. CC took teams both her college and W teams on her back. Sho broke 1 amazing record. CC broke almost every record that exists in basketball. Time got it right from a die hard dodger fan.
Man I can’t listen to Rob talking nonsense and g foolishness- what he talking about is straight ignorance. Wow unbelievable. Nobody knows this LA Dodgers pitcher. He isn’t that popular
Rob Is gonna hate on ohtani because he dont like the Dodgers AND he gonna hate on cc

Aint rob say aaron jugde had a better season .. wtf kind of take is this .
They both were outstanding. Chillout Dodgers fan😎
Rob has another Tom Brady now to constantly put down. CC
Rob ur unprofessional,not staying on the screen,,sit up straight n listen..
Rare W for Rob
I disagree😂
No real man watches the WNBA no matter who's playing
Okay incel.
No real man watch baseball.
Rob Parker is right
Caitlin Clark didn't win the NCCA title. Got the 1st pick of the draft overall. Win Rookie of the Year in WNBA. She and her team were the first to get booted out of the playoffs in the preliminary rounds in WNBA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not just that, she terminated her WNBA contract so fast to switch over to women's golf. WOW. Time magazine went full wokeism by supporting feminism. Really, y'all pick CC over Shohei Ohtani just cause y'all felt bad for her completely utterly failure?
Shohei Ohtani's accolade ⬇️
700 millions MLB contract
The Ippei Mizhuara Scandal
40/40 walk-off grandslam
First 50/50 club
Best game stats vs the Marlins
Hit the longest HR ball in MLB history
2nd place stolen base to Acuna Jr
Tied HR history with a new team in a single season to Babe Ruth
Breaking both Japanese born player such as Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki
Win both 2x AL MVP being the best hitter and pitcher
Win WBC against his former player Mike Trout and WBC MVP
1st player to win DH MVP in MLB history
Win his first WS with a new team in a season
Kelvin on this one pimp 😂
Don't think I've seen a Caitlyn ad, while for Ohtani I've seen plenty. Though I'm in the LA area.
Bruh she’s on like 5 commercials lol
@z-mane1438 ah, I don't really watch TV hah
Where i haven't I don't even no dude never heard of and can give a you know what about him Caitlin Clark Kent now kiss the ring
@@js77zWho cares what this hater troll has to say, stay in the kitchen.
@@js77zWho cares what this hater troll say's, get a life sound desperate
CC is always on the under dog team, even in high-school
ROB....Shohei Ohtani was ALSO caught gambling on baseball by using his translator as a proxy...and it was swept under the rug, just like the NBA did for Michael Jordan. While Ohtani almost SANK a league, Caitlin totally SAVED one. Talk about THAT...
Saved what? Let me know when she wins a title and a few MVPs. She's good but you act like she's on Ohtani's level.
@@taze27 YAWN. One has nothing to do with the other. Go look up the numbers. DATA, clown
Where is your proof that he was caught gambling and it was swept under the rug? For your accusation to hold any water, you have to provide proof that disproves the federal investigation that exonerated Ohtani. Also, the translator gambling scandal didn’t even come close to almost sinking mlb, what a stupid take.
Must see? Dont even know who he is. He didn't transcend the game. He just won a championship.
She hasn't won one? Oh, ok, let me know when she does.....
He didn’t have to transcend it because baseball was always good not like wnba. He won regular SEASON MVP, WORLD SERIES AND 50/50 and had the highest contract in baseball (until soto recently broke it). That’s athlete of the year to me.
He literally brought mlb viewership up and it surpassed nba finals ratings. Clark hasn’t brought wnba out of negative profit lmao
@Blogddae That's the point. WNBA has been in the red since it started. Now, she is bringing the attention and spark to change that. We said she is amazing she isn't God. It's impossible for one player to turn millions of dollars owed to NBA over multiple yrs in 1 season. But it's possible that might happen sooner than later. Men sports in general already get millions more than women. We know that. It isn't new
Who gives f about womens basketball 😅
Ohtani is a 3 time MVP and won a championship in his first year with a new team! This is a joke! CC can’t hold Aja Wilson’s jock strap let alone a 3 time MVP and champion in Ohtani! 💨 is a helluva drug!
Aja Wilso can't sniff the impact CC had on women's basketball.
Yeah Ohtani is a 3 time MVP who was irrelevant till he went to a stacked team. You want a rookie to carry the worst team in the league to a chip? Glad you don’t have a vote on any awards because you don’t know sports clearly
@@js77zGo to the kitch and bake me some beacon and stay away from mens sports.
@@js77zyou live under a rock. He has 3x the followers on social media than Clark 😂😂
Baseball is not nearly as popular as Caitlin.
Caitlin is not nearly as popular as Ohtani.
NEVER HEARD OF THAT BASEBALL PLAYER
Never heard of her and never watched women sport, it's like watching low level games
Look at CC's college career. Pretty much broke every record there is! And attendance over the 🌙 moon for her games in college and pros. Baseball has many stars. Gonna' have crowds with or without Ohtani. WNBA fans flocked to her games! Had to change venue's to hold all the fans! Broke records in her rookie year! Double and triple teamed and hacked every game and still broke record's! Ohtani great hitter, but didn't have to deal with the hater's like CC does, from player's, media and racists. Ohtani on a stacked team. CC not so much. Same in college. She beat the best teams by balling out. Played stacked teams and beat em'. 2 yrs. in a row.
If I asked my wife who is shohie otani she will ask who is that? But she knows CC
Ok ask her how many championship has Clark won
@ A lot of basketball legends she knows that didn’t win a championship in their sport. That’s all yall have on CC right now. I wonder what will be the excuse win she wins a championship?
@@armathis2647 it's all about winning championships so if she ever does THEN we can talk about her being the greatest
@@bigman7570 I think she will still be the greatest ever even if she doesn’t
@@armathis2647 so you really think a player who never wins a championship can be considered the GOAT?
CC was the right choice come on? How many years has that baseball player been playing in the league? CC broke tons of records in college and continued that in her rookie season. Everything she touches turns into gold. She will get her big win that people that don’t know what taking about use to put her down. Everyone knows who CC is can’t say that for this baseball player. Why can’t people just congratulate her instead of hate and make excuses why she shouldn’t have won. Did they do this for all the others winners of the award? Just stop already
Shohei is probably the best baseball has seen since Babe Ruth. However, he didn't have nearly the national and global impact that Caitlin did, and that argument isn't close. Caitlin took the WNBA from obscurity to prominence by herself, Shohei didn't change the national attraction to baseball by any measureable degree....
Isn't close? Ohtani brings in the whole country of Japan with him alone. You can count all of asia as well. And asia's population is globally, is more than half the world's population. Mega TV deals and international sponsorships as well. Caitlin Clark doesn't have any of that, not even close.....
Mlb viewership has risen since ohtanis MVPs, do you live under a rock? It had more viewers than the nba finals, you have no idea what you’re even talking about. You want to bring up wnba viewership? It doesn’t even sniff mlb, their in negative profit lmao
You seriously think about it? Do you know How many people in japan and china and Korean Taiwan ? In there Every one knows otani ! But perhaps nobody knows cc!
Caitlin Clark is 10x more popular than Ohtani. Stop! She's changing the WNBA game and across sports and around the globe. She broke every record possible as a rookie.
LOL. Compare the followers on social media of both and let’s see where this “more popular” comes from, CC isn’t even close!
At least they play basketball in most country's baseball not so much or if they do it's a minor sport. Hate to tell you Rob but no one really follows baseball in Australia people follow cricket. It's like Superbowl champs like to call themselves world champions when the reality is only America plays it. I think worldwide Caitlyn is a bigger star.
. This guy is wrong on so many accounts. All of the WNBA finals games were sell outs without CC. After everyone said no one would watch once CC was eliminated from the playoffs. Sabrina Ionescu was shooting logo 3's before CC. CC wasn't the reason for the charter flights. Security was the reason. The women's Olympic team still won the gold medal without CC. CC isn't the athlete of the year. If you were going to give it to a female basketball player. Aja Wilson is far more deserving than CC.
You crazy! CC was the reason WNBA got any mainstream media coverage. They never got a full segment from the main ESPN program until this year
Caitlin Clark Kent fools
Caitlin Clark Kent over everybody you losers lol
Now Run and tell that
I never heard of that lame u that oops lady can go off yall self's lol
Ohtani played on a LOADED dodgers team top to bottom. CC took teams both her college and W teams on her back. Sho broke 1 amazing record. CC broke almost every record that exists in basketball.
Time got it right from a die hard dodger fan.
Rookie Caitlin Clark broke WNBA records not rookie records in her rookie season despite starting with a gruelling schedule 11 games in 20 days.
Shohei didn’t do anything but go up to bat a couple times a game.
Yeah and won 3 unanimous MVPs, a World Series and pitches and bats. What does Caitlin do? Shoot a basketball into a rim and has won nothing.
Man I can’t listen to Rob talking nonsense and g foolishness- what he talking about is straight ignorance. Wow unbelievable. Nobody knows this LA Dodgers pitcher. He isn’t that popular
Rob MO then a buzz ,u hating CC makes u look el-stupido like Geno ..
