Women's volleyball doesn't mind having a lower net
Lowering the rim won't make the WNBA watchable. People need to let that idea go. WNBA players do EVERYTHING at a vastly inferior level to male players. A few more unathletic dunks on a lower rim won't change their pathetic shooting, passing, or defense.
@@JakeKoenigyou can’t play though lol
@@JakeKoenigit actually would seeing as a dunk might be the ONLY highlight of the night . Sports center top 10 EASILY every night . Throw some flare on the dunks the viewership will go up lol
@@JakeKoenig🧢 Ladies dunking has always been great at least on a lower rim
@@woodardfrom3They would be horrible boring dunks. The novelty would wear off pretty fast
Complaining that people shit on their craft when they've collectively been shitting on Caitlin Clarke and reducing her legitimacy to race
Right! They finally have an opportunity to earn more through CC joining, and what do they do? They just put her down constantly and attribute it to her only being white, or that she can only make 3's for the most part. SO WHAT! Are people giving Steph Curry a hard time for making so many 3 pointers? No, he's considered one of the greats. As per the usual, they are acting like teenage girls who are jealous and put other women down to make themselves feel better about themselves. Such a joke...
Yup. If Cait were black, they would be spouting BLACK EXCELLENCE and whatnot. But they are actually racist for downplaying Cait's potential to bring in actual money and interest in the damn WNBA, which has been kept afloat by the NBA's charity.
Women understand women, and they hate them.
What craft? WNBA players play basketball at the same skill level as middle school boys. That's why nobody wants to watch them.
They have been shitting on Caitlin Clark because she's white. If she were black, the entire WNBA would be celebrating and promoting her nonstop. I understand why you're pointing out the stupidity of the WNBA whining about a lack of popularity and then trashing the most popular player they've ever had, but most people who care about the WNBA would rather see the league burn to the ground than have it made popular by someone white.
I actually like watching Catlin clarke ball out.
0:20 she's annoyed we don't watch the games. So her idea is to belittle and insult to get viewers??? 😂🤣😂🤣 She she is definitely an EXAMPLE of why we didn't watch, funny she doesn't see that😂🤣😂🤢
Girl math is something special gotta love it
The WNBA doesn't want Clark to make an impact, they want to make an example of her.
Couldn’t agree more.
They’re gonna
Yea that’s true.
And I want Clark to make an example out of their faults 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes. I will pull for her to do this very thing. @@thefr3dgames117
A'ja did have a shoe. The Nike Cosmic Unity. It didn't sell well enough for them to make it her signature shoe.
Who?!?!
(Lol)
I just looked this up. That's crazy. She HAD a unique Nike Cosmic Unity 3 colorway. CLEARLY, Nike had her on its radar, and if the shoe sold like crazy (indicating her popularity/marketability), Nike would've given her her own shoe before Clark.
@@theroyalmediator2658 Exactly. But folks won't do the research or talk about it.
@@DaDitkamore recognition than you'll ever get. Just know tht
@@animecity9678 If I cared about being noticed by the world and being adored by the world, like this woman is, then that would definitely be a concern.
Lol
The WNBA is “BORING” and the “DRAMA” is a BIG TURNOFF. When are They going to get it through Their Skull !
Thst is how women in this era argue with feelings.
I hear what you’re saying but the NBA has drama as well..
The WNLBA.
Just like the nba
The WNBA is much more rich in feminist (and racist) clichés than it is in marketable basketball product. It's like feminism started a basketball league. Candace Parker (who apparently is or was a WNBA player) was in some recent documentary about herself. The title? "Unapologetic: The Black Female Athlete."
The memes write themselves.
If Clark doesnt make WNBA watchable, the league needs to fold.
Icels have been whining for decades for the wnba to be shut down and it's never gonna happen just don't watch it's very easy
Clarke will make one team marketable.
I’m seriously only watching her games this season 🤷🏽♂️ And I’ve never sat down to watch a WNBA game on tv. Been to two games in person, but never would I ever watch on tv.
She Will not give it time!
I've watched her last three games. Not impressed. I feel like they're really trying to push her but she's not living up to it so far.
Ive heard of Caitlin. Ive never heard of the other woman. So who is more marketable when Clark is already a big time name. Who will companies want to sponsor?
So? if she is the best in her league she deserves a shoe especially if players who don't come close to her accolades have one
Women’s College Basketball sparked the most interest I’ve ever had in women’s basketball
Look how quickly that has been thrown in your face.
Here's how "marketable" A'ja Wilson is... I'm a sports fan that lives in Las Vegas. I had to Google who she is once they started complaining she deserved a shoe first bc I had no clue.
100%. They can not figure that out. Marketable means people recognize you and want to buy something BECAUSE of you. NOBODY outside of the 384 WNBA fans have ever even heard of Aja Wilson.
This isn't the first time. They've complained about Aja not having a shoe when the Sabrinas came out.
I’m sure the best Pickle ball player in the world has amazing accolades and all world with an awesome lovable personality big they are not marketable because nobody knows who they are. Nobody will buy Nike gear because of them. Simple. Aja W. No different. I did not even google her because I don’t care about her or the WNBA. Only know her from hearing the few (very few) women crying for her to get a signature shoe. Sad thing is Nike is so woke they will probably cave now and give her a signature shoe which will sell 1/100000th as many as Clark. And I’m not even a C. Clark fan but can see the mania going on and Nike is cashing in on it.
Exactly
Honestly I thought she had a point until I realized this comment it’s a sad reality someone so accomplished in their sport is simply not recognizable and it doesn’t help that her game isn’t extremely entertaining
This is genuienly my first time hearing the name A’ja Wilson
Correct same.
Me too, but she is owed a shoe contract😂😂😂😂
@@davidknudson5166She has one
Lol she goated trust she needa shoe lil bro 😭💯
@@davidknudson5166she is very good she definitely deserves a shoe contract just cause you don't know her means she doesn't deserve one
They will blow it. Caitlin Clark will play for a few seasons and her games will sell a bunch of tickets. But for the 10 other teams playing they will still be complaining about 1/4 full 8,000-10,000 seat capacity arenas and the WNBA will only grow marginally. All women secretly hate each other and their vindictive ways will ultimately be their demise.
Don't men be starting wars over oil and killing multiple children but we never hear men hate men
I had almost all female crews in my profession and they sniped, attacked and yowled at each other on a regular basis.
This is where women need to prove that they can support the WNBA. They (the feminists specifically) have said they don't need men and they think we are worthless pieces of bilge scum. So now is their opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, and increase the revenue of the league.
“Don’t try to understand women. Women understand women and they hate each other.” - Al Bundy
@@DeMan59 A universal law.
There has been serval times that an nba player has tried to reach out to A’ja to show support and she has responded negatively with an arrogant attitude. She’s not marketable.
This is like listening to an under-performing employee asking for a raise from the boss.
The WNBA is totally going to blow this amazing opportunity with Clark, Clark is bringing in hundreds of thousands of eyes to the league.
WNBA: no one likes you. Maybe the newbie you are ruthlessly attacking can save you.
1:23 LOL... She actually believes that garbage she just spewed...
If Caitlin was black and lesbian, would she be receiving the same hate? Serious question
No she wouldn't, they'd be welcoming her with open arms
If Caitlin was black and lesbian would she even be this famous?
In that league I believe sexual orientation is more important than race. It's the elephant in the room people don't want to talk about. The typical male sports consumer doesn't want to watch a bunch of tatted up women running around carrying themselves and looking like men. It's unappealing to the majority of the market. A player from several years ago left the league partly because she claimed it was hostile towards straight women.
She'd be praised
No she’d be a hero,, btw it really goes to show you how hateful these equality and inclusion people really are ….They always say this person is a racist,, or that person is a misogynist.. No,, they aren’t it’s just these people are soo hateful and bitter,,so that’s how they think everyone else views the world.,,
I would t watch a game Mr. Griner played in, what a total disgrace and slap in the face to the WNBA. Trading this drug addicted fool for a arms dealer was the most outrageous act I’ve ever seen in my life time.
That’s what happens when you vote in a weak old mad who doesn’t know his arse from a hole in the ground and is being run by woke far left wing wack jobs…
Bro you uploaded this video like a thousand times already
This is a different video, same thumbnail as the other video but, didn't info and video/picture inserts
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese got me interested in the WNBA game.
Not coincidentally those two have the biggest social media following and they’re the two players with shoe deals. I believe A’ja is currently the best player in the league. The two most influential players are Clark and Reese. Clark already leads everyone in jersey sales. WNBA vets not welcoming this incoming class is actually good for the product. Must watch tv for the matchups this upcoming season.
Little talent ..lotta talk
@@jamesbaclig8789 🤔🤔🤔
Angel reese has no game though. She's is very wild in her shooting
Sabrina Ionescu got me interested. I think there was a little wave of Sabrina fans that built momentum for Caitlin to be as big as she is.
And Veterans, don't forget about the team that walked off the court during the national anthem.
"A'ja's extremely marketable!!!"
Who?
U people are so slow if you started watching women basketball cause of goblin face Caitlin your obviously not gonna know a vet like aja who has been in the league for years
Ong
Who?
Caitlin Clarke dreamed of being a WNBA player since elementary school. She obviously worked extremely hard and became the highest scoring NCAA basketball player EVER. She does not control who gets more attention or more money except for the fact that she's awesome.
Catty haters ripping Caitlin to shreds will N0T help the WNBA.
Nice video! Made several valid points. The UFC comparison hit hard like a lawyer's closing agreement. Loved it!
We dont hate it. We just despise or ignore it.
I play like an WNBA player so I don't need to watch myself on TV. I wouldn't pay myself to watch my own games if I were playing. The college games are far superior to WNBA, they also got cute women playing unlike the WNBA. When I heard Britney spoke for the first time I thought I was hearing myself talking. That is not an female.
The way they are treating Clark is actually destroying their own league
The average sports viewer makes 52k a year?...shid, more like half of that
Red haired lady: men have been funding your league which has not earned a dime in what? 27 years?
legit never heard of aja wilson. wnba is unwatchable garbage, the entitled attitude of these women just drives any new fans away..
Agreed
These women played in college. They competed. After college it's like they forgot how to compete on the court... they are too busy competing off the court. The Men grew the NBA through competition. It's what the audience likes to see.
It not really a professional league, its a charity cause.
And now kelsey plum is getting divorced. I can't imagine have to live with someone that delusional. Just imagine the amounts of "yes, dear's" he said while listening to the pay gap myth over and over.
It’s just so damn boring! 7ft tall women should be able to dunk regularly, whenever they want but can’t! They literally only need a two inch vertical and have zero idea on how to train in order to accomplish that. Then they all move like they’re in slow motion! They look like freaky trees on a court. It’s disturbing the lack of athleticism in some of them.
Well if the do split the revinue would they have to give back money since the league is operating at a net loss
The real discussion here is why is this business being supported and not turning up a profit....This business is almost as old as I am and no profit....How is this possible?
Honestly
It's more a charitable donation than a legitimate business venture. Thr tax write offs for the NBA must be worth it.
@@buckodonnghaile4309 WHat other business has this privilege though? That's the amazing thing it still doesn't make sense I 10 to 12 million in the red I thought that had to be a non profit to get that type of write off.
Exactly what a woman would do, blame men for not watching.
Don't men be like "well what was she wearing"
I stopped watching the WNBA because of their very lax domestic violence policy.
Will
Never
Be
Anything
And who the hell is Aja?
Google is a thing smart guy
An album by Steely Dan
@@cobainxxx2142 I would if I really cared
Who?
If the WNBA wants the similar revenue share. Are they sharing the debt too?
Great content. You hit the nail on the head with this.
“We are asking to be paid the same revenue split”
What’s 50% of negative 10,000,000?
I live in Vegas. No one in my circle even knew the team had a parade for winning the championship. I saw no advertisement or anything.
Marketability is not based on accolades. It’s based on style of play. If you ask a person who watch the NBA or doesn’t watch the NBA and ask who is better Kobe or Tim Duncan, 7 out of 10 they would chose Kobe. Even though in terms of accolades Tim Duncan has more. Why is this? It’s because of the style of play Kobe played and the style of play Tim Duncan played. No one cares for Back to the Basket slow play. Ppl want to see Stephen curry type threes or Shaq type of dunks because that brings in highlights which brings in clicks from a non fan to a superfan. It’s the reason why Caitlyn game brings in more fans than Aja because of how they play the game.
Id pay to watch little league football before buying WNBA tickets
Diana T is having an epic meltdown
Exactly, if Nike thought they could make money thwy would make the shoe. Market dictates their actions not their politics. Once politcs enters the equation they fail, see Disney for proof.
Anyone ever see those photos of Britney griner with his shirt off .
Jesus I'll never get that image out of my head. It haunts me
Don't do that to people, these kids are going to look that up.
What have you done?

@@1dayatAtimekingI've seen them.
@@1dayatAtimeking Natural selection at work
Shaq advices the WNBA should lower the rim, so more WNBA players can dunk, and make the three point line shorter, so more players can shoot 3 points.
Houston comets was the coolest team back in the day. 4 straight championships. In 2008 they couldn't find an owner so the team got banded. They was a real dynasty.
Is this a reupload?
I think so .....either that or he has another video that's similar but I believe it's a reupload too
Definitely a similar video, but at least everything in it is true.
I started paying attention to the WNBA to see what CC is actually going to do, and cannot believe how bitter and petty the league is. This is the first time I'm seeing any of these players be interviewed and they're awful. It doesn't even seem like the league wants to have fans.
A'Ja w/e ...never heard of her , never will be motivated to buy anything she sponsors.
Heck even women's gymnastics has seen an uptick in popularity with women like Olivia Dunne not just marketing themselves through Tik Tok, but promoting their sport and their fellow teammates as well. Livvy and her LSU teammates were able to make themselves the draw. The WNBA has never done anything to make themselves an attractive draw. And the one woman who can break that mold is already being dragged through the mud by the league because of ego.
Asia, who?
Can't sell shoes.
There is no market.
I have not been impressed by Caitlin Clark at all after watching 3 full games. When I saw the Fever play the Aces, I was thinking "Who tf is 22???". A'ja Wilson is no joke.
Caitlin Clark has come and grown the league, and yet the hate is still on. I’m starting to wish that Clark would’ve taken Ice Cube deal instead of being in this mess.
who tf is aja
WNBA infighting is wild. Acting like Clark was gonna have a hard time there when she's dropping like 20 points games already
WPL from india ..its been 2 seasons and it shattered all women sports records
The wnba just needs to be disbanded. I'm old head and I have NEVER in my life seen a person wear wnba merchandise. So it's not only surprising Catlin Clark got shoe deal but who actually gonna buy it? Unless they pushing for wnba athletes to wear Catlin Clark's shoes idk
White Male Boomers. Obviously.
Haha the divorced dads guy is hilarious 😂. Love that guys shorts
Wait on the Career Resume screen, first of all very impressive. Secondly did they forget to remove the 2 from (Rookie of the YEAR)? It's almost like they were about to type 2x but stopped and didn't delete the 2.
Hahaha they should ask wnba players how many female fans do they see every game. And I don't think Caitlin Clark will boost Wnba but it'll give them a bit more boost
Clark put women's basketball on the map! That's the story!
WNBA sucks let’s just be honest. It’s boring with no dunks or crazy athleticism. Now they hating on Caitlin Clark who is the only reason I’ll probably even watch a wnba game this season.
Caitlin can't dunk and isn't athletic either so your whole comment makes no sense
@@cobainxxx2142 yes but her play style is entertaining. She dribbles and shoots threes like crazy from the logo. She’s like a female Steph curry. She has that it factor. But yeah wnba sucks over all.
@@AsapSteph so if Caitlin stops doing that you'll say she sucks too 😂😂
I guess so. But she’s a beast. She even made the ratings go up for college games
I swear I seen this video 10x already
I would make it more intellectual, but the conclusion would be either improving the product or shutting down the league. Either change the product, or if the women won't budge then fuck em. No one should have to put up with belligerent beggars.
You seem triggered
Caitlin Clark can potentially be the catalyst to get them trending in the positive, but they're so petty and jealous that they'd rather their league die instead of prosper because of new and exciting blood coming in
Title nine doesn't mean that they are guaranteed to make people watch their product
I like basketball but not as a contact sport. If I want to watch women play a contact team sport, I'll tune in to the X-League, formerly known as the Lingerie Football League (LFL).
(arguably) professional self-immolators
they just don't see the bigger picture, that is their league, only themselves.
Im a sneaker head. Ive never heard people demanding for wnba players sneakers
Average salary of a WNBA player in 2023: $147,745
Your job is to literally play with a ball. You have nothing to complain about.
WNBA immediately spend 25 million on charter flights and have 2 expansion team will definitely bites them in the ass
2 female majors in Oakland, Warriors, Raiders, and A's are gone, but now we have theWNBA.....
I usually know a little about the different sports leagues. But I don't have a clue who A'ja Wilson is.
I'm a Rose Namajunas fan and Sabrina Ionescu fan. Everything you say is true about Sabrina in the other video and everything you say about female MMA is true.
I don't like basketball, raised on hockey and rugby, but I have gone to NBA games with friends, they enjoyed themselves and the atmosphere is weird to me, lots of cheering for the same play 10" apart IMHO. Same friends won't go to the WNBA games, claimed it is boring to them, I always wondered how much worse the womens version could be if the mens version was that boring.
We watch what entertains us. Be entertaining and we'll watch. Right now, most people get bored watching the WNBA. I don't know why there isn't the same enthusiasm for the WNBA that Women's NCAA basketball garners, but that is something the WNBA needs to work out, not me. For some, it may even be team overload. If you live or are from NYC, you have the Giants, Jets, Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Knicks, Nets, Yankees, and Mets out of men's sports. Most sports fans don't have time to root for a newer WNBA team when they are already rooting for three or four teams. The WNBA should have looked for location where a lot off pro teams aren't anywhere near and based their teams there where the populace isn't overwhelmed with pro sports already. But that would mean playing in small arenas since none of them have the financial ability to build their own arena.
OK in fairness I just watched the third quarter of the Indiana Washington game. The WNLBA is absolutely brutal. That was a painful display of basketball. I tried, I’m done. No thanks.
I feel sorry for Clark. She'll be like a cop going to prison. I hope she can handle all the crap that's going to be thrown at her.
5:02 7:35 that's a good point i didn't even think about that
Slowly get rid of the old complainers and get the new hard working entertaining younger players. The money will come.
There's is no revenue. Now that catlin Clark revenue will go up.a little
This is the time for the WOMEN to step up and support their own. If we men are not going to do so, then THEY need to buy the tickets, the jerseys, the shoes, the products advertised on their broadcasts, etc.
Women have money. They have the ability to support them. If they aren't going to do so, why should I? As Bill Burr has said, I have my own sports to watch.
I'm not going to care about something because I must. I will care because I want to care.
So come on, ladies. Show us that you can support your own. We believe in you!
just as a math thing, WNBA players are calling for a split of revenues not profits. There are fixed costs such as security, trainers, coaches, utility bills, travel costs, office staff, etc. These take a much larger share of WNBA revenues. The NBA pie is so large that the fixed costs can be neglected whereas in the WNBA they may reach 40 to 60% of revenues.
Imagine just making a huge fan base now for Caitlin Clarke to make her the biggest player in WNBA. to piss off the WNBA. 😂
Just because she is a normal person that happens to play basketball very well. You should look forward to playing her, in a fair and reasonable way
For the people saying they don’t know who A’ja Wilson is, ignorance is not a brag.
Caitlyn Clark is the best thing that’s happened for the wnba in decades. She bringing in revenue for the league, drawing new crowds of fans, selling out arena ticket sales. Yet wnba players are just jealous and wants to push her out of the league.
This can all change
The new rookie class in the wnba will bring more fans in plus they are bringing in a team in Toronto.
it is amazing that with the size of the league they are such a poor product. when the NBA was smaller every team was an all star team same with other major pro sports. the WNBA has managed to staff their teams with bench fodder and role players
The problem with the WNBA is that the players are nowhere near as good as their male counterparts, which makes it impossible for the vast majority of NBA fans to crossover.
They lack the fundamentals necessary to interest someone with a mid-level knowledge of the game to tune in, and their refusal to lower the rims takes away any possible excitement brought in by them dunking and doing alley-oops.
I'm currently wearing the Kia Nurse Olympic Air Jordans. What the hell are they talking about. Enough gender and race politics and let's just play the sport.
Jemele hill has an opinion on something. Let’s listen folks.
Lol, I love that bit he does when he adds no one got covid. It makes it even more insane on what they want.
