Here is how I know how much of a impact Clark has had. My 45 year old brother texting every night they play with stats of what she did. That man has never watch a WNBA game in his life until this season and does not miss a game now. She brought so many new eye balls to the game which had brought a ton of shine to all the players. It's like what Tiger did and took some time for everyone to realize. You protect the golden goose. Tiger made a lot of people rich and the game is better for it. Same will hold true with Catlin
Hahahaha I wrote my comment before watching the video. Of course they brought up the same point

Jealousy of money and attention is a factor, race is likely a factor for some, being straight is a factor, and being friendly and not hostile as much of the wnba culture has been is a factor.
So race is a factor

What's crazy is all CC has done is come to the league and ball. She hasn't said a thing. Everything just swirls around her and she puts her head down and plays.
Nancy Lieberman gave Swoopes a reality check ✅ about inaccurate and false statements of Caitlin Clark basketball record.
Easy to see who has more credibility. Swoops has zero given her past statements and history.
And analysts always get it right? Swoopes gave CC her flowers multiple too? You forget about that.
Clark has just saved the WNBA. These haters should kiss the ground she walks on.
I’ve never watched WNBA. I still don’t. I didn’t even know the Vegas Aces won the chip back to back. I had to research it. I do watch highlights now…. because of Caitlin Clark.
Me too and people dont seem to get that

It’s sad how much hate CC is getting. We all know why too. And she’s never said a bad word about anyone.
And she may NEVER will😊😊
I’m 28 and never cared about the WNBA until now. Same with my dad and he’s 54. It’s sad that we have this type of discussion. It’s clear as day her impact on women’s basketball. We don’t discredit who came before. Clark just took it to another level
I still don't care about the wnba while Caitlin Clark is in the league now. She hasn't made me a fan of it
1st time our lives have interest in WNBA Thanks CC22

It's amazing how easy things become when you use facts rather than feelings like Nancy. Excellent interview.
How exciting that Nancy is on. How I respect every word she shares. Thank you Nancy for all you have given to women’s basketball!!
Because of jealousy. Women like to compete for attention and popularity. Every story, pregame and post game question usually involves something about Clark. It' s the W, she's the 1 golden goose, unlike the NBA that has tons of stars that can sell tickets, shoes, etc.
Exactly right. Jordan and Lebron both had to deal with this to an extent. But adding ALL women, god damn.
LeBron is different because he created the superteam era that is about taking the easy route to the top when in their prime and artificially winning championships
@@SnowedInWithSnowden the elephant is taking up the entire room
Do you think if CC was black we would be having this discussion?

Respect for CC taking the high road in all this mess.
What mess the high road from who the fans everyone gets hate
Because she getting a massive level of hate for no reason and that's the problem. Ol girl goes to work does her job well and people want to breath hate in CCs direction. @@jamesjameswhattheladyssayl7657
@@jamesjameswhattheladyssayl7657 The high road when she is attacked on the court. At least 2 times it was blatant attacks not basketball plays. When idiots on ESPN say she is not good enough or any negative comments her way. She just ignores it puts her head down and proceeds to embarrass her critics.
She’s absolutely right
This lady dropping facts
CC is a prodigy. As a young girl, she recognized Maya Moore's game. For those who do not know check out Maya's resume and RUclips clips. Her parents drove 3.5 hours so she could see her play. CC was destined for what's happening. It should not come as no surprise. Think about it. The brighter the lights, the larger the crowds, she performs like Mozart, and she is the one bringing in the crowds plus national/international audiences and doesn't disappoint with her play and answers the bell for every game. Listen to her talk. People were talking like she was going to be a bust. Like she wasn't going to be able to hang. The haters haven't seen anything yet. My worry is that someone will injure CC on purpose. If that happens, the league will surely starve. Word to wise...let that girl do her thing and appreciate what you are seeing.
Jealousy is a crazy thing

I started watching NCAA women’s game because of Clark/ Iowa. And now I watch the Fever. I actually became a big Fever fan- my goodness, the games have gotten so entertaining!
Same
My 15 year old daughter, who has never shown interest in watching sports with me, owns three CC jerseys. We are attending a game next month.
I believe it stems a lot from media coverage up until recently, like there was a huge gap between CC & AR. I believe now CC has created a gap after the break and definitely is the front-runner for ROTY.
Angel Reese is a stat padding bum and Caitlyn Clark is actually good though
@@michaelknight5147AR is a great rebounder but it’s hilarious people dismissing the stat about her rebounding her own misses. I’m sorry but if you break a record partially because you can’t hit a shot from less than 5’ more than 3 out of 10 times and you collect your trash miss then that has to count for something.
@@droptopeclipse the most egregious thing is just the stat padding. The Sky were getting smoked against the fever, and she stayed in during garbage time solely to get rebounds to continue her double double streak.
Clark is closer to MVP than Reese is to ROTY
We all know if Clark is in another tone she'll be called the next Jordan
This is the only time where I agree about a rising tide…
Shohei Ohtani is creating a huge tide lifting the MLB as well
@@sawyerleemoore Fr!
@@sawyerleemoore
Except MLB players have already been getting paid millions for years
@@Seidylasker Yes true. However the MLB has been suffering with declining popularity and relevance in recent years. Perhaps Ohtani is more of a sparkplug than a huge tide
Anyone that played organized ball for a good part of growing up knew from the jump she was different. On top of that she’s a pro in the best sense of the word. A player that uplifts any team they are on, and facilitates unselfishly. She’s like the classy assassin lol. She’s doing what she was born to do.
It's plain and simple why Caitlin Clark is getting so much hate. It's jealousy. How do you explain the percentage of flagrant fouls against her? A lot of these WNBA players are trifling
No........ CC doesn't fit the Woke profile.
It’s more jealousy than hate. The level of jealousy they have towards her has turned into hate.
But with some the jealousy has turned to hate. Carter hates her for sure.
Wnba was once the butt of jokes for comedians but when CC got drafted, the atmosphere shifted. From being mocked and ridiculed to being admired and talked about, so I’m scratching my head, why do some green eyed wnba players headed by AR so inclined on flagrantly fouling CC just to say they’re better so look at us not only CC?! Play better than CC, stay away from drama and maybe, Maybe people would notice you!
Clark is better than most of those girls on the USA team. The reason why is because she makes everybody else better around her
Alright, I think it's time to get Monica, Andraya and Chiney on First Take to have this conversation 😆🍿
Here here!! All the haters need to understand that CC is bringing money to the WNBA! Butts in seats & eye balls on TV!
Caitlin Clark is my HERO. This ain't the WNBA this is the CC show!
It's the wnba
i've never seen this man defend someone so hard, barring Michael Jordan 😂
LeBron
Right?? Like really dude? 😂
@@loststoryproductions she didn't even attack him all she said my show I can say what I want just like you 😂
CC is box office, that’s why. Duh.
You sound upset.
There are other wmn in the wnba that I look up on and check to see how they are performing, there is about 7 of them. I know their names and their teams. Caitlin Clark is one person and that person is the one who has introduced me to those ladies, I never watched any WNBA games until Caitlin got drafted now I check stats.
CC is a great player . I don,t even watch WNBA but this woman has skills 2 pay the bills .Interesting to see how this unfolds from years to come much❤😮
Easy. RACISM.
Ok
You guys love to bring up racism all the time, but when a black guy does it we are crying and complaining lol
@@aaronwells2267 Don't feed the troll.
Lieberman handed Sheryl an a-Swoope-in'.
I had no idea who Swoopes was before this and in my opinion does not deserve anyone's respect. She lost all credibility with her CC comments.
She's not black. Question answered. No one cared about WNBA if we're being real until she came in lol
Nancy did nothing but speak absolute facts!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing interview!
Aint gonna lie man i watched that game i was like ok lemme stick around. She was dropping and dimes thats what i was impressed by the most
It’s crazy how two seasons in college and a player taunts another player causes a ride like no other. They lose to Creighton, then lose to UCONN by 20 then lose to LSU with the face wave by AR and CC becomes the face of women’s basketball. Then they barely beat a solid UCONN team Paige plays a decent game and will be the NEXT big face of the league along with JuJu. CC is a great player that just needed something to happen to push her forward and be talked about. The scoring record helped but was broken earlier by Plum. Sabrina was just in a 3pt shoot out with Curry. CC became popular because an arrogant black girl got in her face and taunted her causing the people to rally around her and gain attention. If AR never did what she did CC would still be a great player still be the 1 pick but the popularity of the game would not have changed. That game vs LSU and the run to the F4 is what made CC get the attention!
They tryna switch the whole narrative but this is EXACTLY what happened
That good statement, "We can be our worst enemies"...
A rising tide lifts all boats.
Racism & Jealousy
Until CC, the WNBA ESPN ratings were on par with Cornhole tournaments. Indy attendance has gone from 4,200 per game to 17,000 per game, at home and on the road.
I’m glad they’re not afraid to say it for what it is…hate.
CC has taken 17% of all flagrant fouls in the WNBA this season…
Everyone knows exactly why she gets hate. And it's all from one community.
Yeah. Females.
Dont forget the tribbing community @SnowedInWithSnowden
@@SnowedInWithSnowdenaaaannnd?? C'mon you know if the shoe was on the other foot you'd be screaming it loud and proud.

@@hitek9too255Fried Chicken
It’s not CC, it’s the machine that comes with her. Stop saying “she” is, “she”brought “she” moved because it creates animosity. Instead of asking why the hate ask yourself why you can’t reword the same statement to be more inclusive. It’s like you are telling a group of girls the reason guys are looking at you is because of this girl right here….you set the dynamic for people to hate her and then you ask why do yall hate her? Biblically speaking..Saul has killed his thousands and David his tens of thousands…..
I agree.
Stephen A is speaking as if Kaitlyn is a single person playing tennis.
It's a TEAM SPORT.
The she , she, she is causing the division by the media.
With 30 years experience, Stephen A knows why.
He also knows he could have phrased the question differently.
He brought out all the Kaitlyn fans out of the woodwork., and he is smiling all the to the bank.😊
Thank you for this comment. You actually understand. These idiots do this for clicks and likes.
its all about money. The old timers never made any money
Because the media didnt give greater blk players their flowers when they were due. But now people are breaking their back to give CC flowers.
So now CC can't receive credit? Nobody was stopping blk people from attending those games. Can't be salty because someone else gets support. People gotta look in the mirror and blame themselves. You know you weren't commenting on any of those greater blk players you mentioned like you do CC. You didn't watch the games like you do CC, so you can't point a finger at something else and blame that.
@@whodatking26 I have been a fan and have been to games for about 5 years now. Taking my daughter to games. I have done my support. You just made a stupid assumption. I was watching before CC was on the scene. But all of that gets discredited by people like you
@@johnnybgoode8104 I know damn well you weren't taking your daughter to no game. Stop the cap.
“ We should embrace people that take us to another level.” I felt that .
CC is getting so much hate because players/coaches/big wigs in WNBA hate CC more than they love basketball.
Disagree about people pitting AR and CC against each other lol AR has been antagonistic
No one actually hating on her . Grown men bitching about nothing. Grown men act like they beefing. When no said anything about her. Other player's that are balling might find the media glazing to be annoying
Then you ain’t been paying attention.
I agree
Grown men trying to create stories.
They have the power to do it.
Where are these Grown men?
They are part of THE MEDIA.
Where is everyone getting their stories about Kaitlyn?
FROM THE MEDIA.
That person who said you are not listening.
Where did that person get the information?
FROM THE MEDIA.
Why don't people think for themselves?
They are too lazy.😊
Swoopes Hating 😊
"Jealousy and stupidity don't equal harmony.
Some humans ain't human.
Some people ain't kind." John Prine
I think that about sums it up.
What’s with the disdain for Clark among other players? Why try to sabotage your league? Easy answer. We men cannot understand female behavior. But as Al Bundy said: “women understand women and they hate each other.”
He love defending people in the big house! It’s ok to visit the plantation sometime Stephen A 😂
It’s not her it’s the casual fans who come in and disrespect the entire league to prop up Clark.
Tell what casual fans that don’t do that but they also pay top dollar lol
Facts. Her fan groupies are the problem. They act like Caitlin Clark is the only good player in the wnba and they hype her up so much that now the wnba got her behind Aja Wilson in the MVP race when I know there is about 3 more players playing better than Caitlin Clark
If Swoopes was there when Nancy said all that about Caitlyn she woulda bit through her tongue. Instead of being there she was asked to stay home because she can't stop hating. 😆

@@stephensmelley2939hell yea
@@stephensmelley2939not saying Steph was magic but Steph was absolutely nice like that before Kerr. He was more of an iso player. In one season he averaged more than 8 assist. When Kerr came in he introduced the motion offense which is when Steph became more of an off ball menace. Steph has always been able to pass but, when you can shoot like that who wants him passing lol.
@@stephensmelley2939If Steph was in a Mike diantoni offense he could average 10 assists a game. The motion offense doesn’t call for that. In fact Steph was averaging like 9 assists under mark Jackson
Correction: Larry Bird, Magic Johnson resuscitated the NBA.
My guess… there have been 20+ seasons of the WNBA- to make a general statement, No One Cared, or Very Few Cared.
There are middle-aged women who got little or no recognition for what they did, and the pay to match. Little or none.
Now, all of a sudden, this young woman comes into the league and is setting records (both on the court and in attendance), and is drawing the eyeballs and the money that they NEVER got.
They’re upset that she’s standing on their shoulders.
I can see the point, but eventually, the Old School has to encourage this so that the next generation raises even higher- and everyone gets more money and respect. 🤷♂️
Bring her on First Take Stephen A. She spits facts
I’m from the UK, never been bothered about the WNBA…till now
The reason Catlin Clark is getting so much hate is because of her IQ. Catlin Clark does her job, makes her teammates better, gets everyone involved, praise is given to teammates from her without personally offending another person emotionally
Aww poor Caitlin so sad she is getting so much hate aww poor little baby who cares lol
Hate and love comes with the fame.
Caitlin’s not sad, she’s ignoring the drama and focusing her energy on winning games. That’s the secret of her success.
Apparently you do or you wouldn’t be here feeding the algorithm. 😂😂😂
You all definitely know why she gets so much hate, stop pretending 😂
CC making everyone money, this is Steve’s fifth video with the same stuff on it
What a joke when she said : there's is no racism in this case. If it would be the other way around the ole World would be screaming racism.
JOKIC NOW KNOW IT FEELS TO REVIVE A LEAGUE WHILE BEING HATED ON!!!!
The NBA was the same way when Larry and Magic came along. Broke league with a bunch of players that aren’t exactly professional. The best WNBA players just don’t speak to most young girls.
Imma keep it a stack… it’s football time.. the wnba had a nice little run and it has been a great season for them but the ratings are about to plummet and nobody will really care anymore until next season when they don’t have to go against football
I agree to a point.
Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky will be eliminated, and the whole Clark v. Reese dynamic will end when the regular season ends.
However, if the Indiana Fever advance in the WNBA playoffs, the ratings may not plummet like you think.
It really just depends on how far the Fever advances.
I think you might underestimate the power a little girl has on her father. The biggest thing that happened in NFL last season was that Taylor Swift showed up 🤷♀️
Also this is making history, football has the fans but what player is making history in the NFL?
This year’s WNBA season will be long talked about, than any recent NFL season especially if the Fever pull off the win.
Plenty of room for all sports to grow
@@SqrLMaSTeR123 agreed I’m just here to watch awesome people do amazing things.
The same reason why I love RUclips
Steven A you've gained more respect from me, you're calling it as it is. CC is that girl
I remember when the WNBA first came out. They tried like hell to promote the players. Heck, I remember when they were promoting that drug using dude from Baylor. The bottom line is they weren’t that marketable because they were either boring to watch or selfish nasty people. Sometimes both.
My 70- year old father in law, former football coach, who I think may have never watched an NBA game much less a WNBA game, won't shut up about her.
This is a great reminder how different women and men are. If that kind of transformational talent would get that kind of treatment in NBA, it would be seen as immature insecurity and nothing else. It would be laughed at and exploited endlessly by the team where that talent plays.
If Clark has strength to take this crap and use it to her and her teams advantage, her number will be in the rafters and there will be some trophy awarded by her name when she's retired.
Never watched WNBA till I seen Clark get her lick back from Reese after that taunt Reese did the year before. Respect Clark cause how she carried herself after the win. If Reese would’ve won she would’ve did some unsportsmanlike behavior. Can’t respect that. Clark is a true example on how woman should carry themselves.
Yes, there is some jealousy and envy towards Caitlin but she can not given greatness. Caitlin has to earn that on the court.
It’s her moment . Let her shine. #GodsPlan 🙌🏾
I love Nancy and her honesty!
Just wanted to say thanks for you bringing out all the haters on CC and telling the truth
The only hate is from the powers that be, not the people
Stephen A you keep harping on the point CC should’ve been on the Olympic team.
If she was on that team she wouldn’t have gotten a much needed rest.
Without the 3 weeksI don’t think we would see the fever making the surge they gave made post Olympics.
Hahaha you literally have no idea what would have happened but you speak on it. Doesn’t make any sense I hope you know that
@@billythekid22220 It only makes sense she has never in her life played this many high level games in such a short period of time. 70 plus games between NCAA and WNBA in less than a year. Add in the scrutiny and pressure from media abs fans. The proof is in pudding the Fever are 6-1 and CC is playing the best she’s played all season after the rest.
@@845INCNETWORK you’re right about her playing better after the break that’s a fact. You made me a believer my guy lol
How many times us Stephen A going upload the same story.
not him..his social media manager is milking it...maybe he/she has some percentage of the YT earnings
Funny cause I still watch the new ones uploaded
Do you stop taking an easy lay up if they leave the lane open for you?
When she said women...we can be our own worst enemy....its time for yawl to wake up..
Especially the woman who looking at Clark in a bad way...she gon be the reason yawl are MILLIONAIRES...for doing something that u women claim to LOVE doing anyway right? Leave Caitlyn alone frfr 💯
SAS still doesn’t watch but I when a CC hate topic comes up he is all over it lmao the only issue imo is the coverage its always the negative
Nancy Lieberman and Doris Burke are national treasures.
She gets the hate because shes exposing how bad the talent level in the wnba is, despite all their grandstanding and crying all these years.
Hate her now but you cant stop the rise of a superstar it will only fuel her passion for the game..
On everything I love I up until this point I could care less about women’s basketball let alone WNBA but CC definitely changed the game, I’m black and from Detroit and I happen to actually work on the road a lot and I’m going to her game on 9/6 I’m so hype she definitely bout to make the league millions
SAS; That's when Caitlin Clark got relevant when Angel Reese and LSU won the 2023 women's championship game and she showed CC what time👋 it was🏐. The media made AR the bad and CC the good in that game loss. Then Iowa tried to win again and failed against SC coach Dawn Staley team🏆. And the media felt sorry again she lost her 2 attempts so you and other hyped her game up for her to be the 2024 rookie Wnba star🤔. Keep in mind, she does nothing special that Sabrina Ionescu and Kelsey Plum have been doing for years in the league already. Where were their media hype. It took that LSU rivalry for CC to be noticed. W/o Angel Reese challenging her in 2023, they both would be like the previous years rookies.🤔
Thank you Sabrina was a triple double machine at Oregon and was just in a 3pt shooting contest with Curry. Plum was balling out too. It’s amazing what two seasons can do! CC can ball but if the LSU and SC games don’t happen she’s just another player balling that know one talks about. Plus JuJu and Paige are coming soon so the competition is going to get even better!
I don't hate her...she is a great basketball players...she is hated by other players because they are not as good as she is...she is a MVP
