  • @BobBoozle
    @BobBoozle 4 месяца назад +8

    The frustration Elle has about this Caitlin Clark narrative resembles the frustration NBA fans feel about the narrative that WNBA players are underpaid and the NBA should do more to support them. Look at how vets like LeBron, Durant and Kyrie have heaped praise on Anthony Edwards during this "next face of the league" narrative.

  • @akadirinelson2086i
    @akadirinelson2086i 4 месяца назад +19

    Not sure what the aggression is about. Sounds a little over the top. The silence from the vets is also deafening and yes there is hate from a number of them either passively or actively. Just do a quick search online. But they are all benefiting from her as we speak, the charter planes, the viewerships, the shoe deals….stop ittttt
    No one is saying worship her but people are saying there is not much embrace from women in general. Lots of men watch wnba now because of her. that needs to be highlighted and praised by all of them since they are benefiting from it.
    And to suggest no one talked about Lebron in that sense when he came into the league is quite literally ridiculous on its head.

    I like Elle but her comparing Lebron coming into the NBA & Caitlin coming into the WNBA are apples to oranges. The NBA was an already established/growing league that was looking for its next superstar after the Jordan era had ended. Caitlin was joining a league that had players flying commercial airplan flights. If you really want to see the WNBA grow, you should be happy that a female basketball player has the popularity that Caitlin Clark has because her popularity will lift the popularity of the other women in the league and grow the WNBA to new heights.

  • @undisputedtruth4954
    @undisputedtruth4954 4 месяца назад +4

    Caitlin is a rookie. She's supposed to get rookie treatment, regardless of the media spotlight. It's a part of the game that's just going to happen. She shoots too well to go scoreless, but teams are going to make her earn it all seaaon; especially as a PG. That's the double-whammy position because she's gotta run the team based on what her coach wants, but she's also gotta adjust to the pro game with each team she faces. It's not supposed to be easy, and no vet should make it easy. Angel Reese is getting solid numbers, but she's not close to the threat she was at lsu. These are full grown women with years of pro conditioning, strength & experience, but she's holding her own in key moments. Cam Brink has really low numbers, but she's making a defensive impact. You have to be encouraged with Caitlin hitting 3's, Angel on the offensive glass, and Cam's defense. They're going to be ok, despite everyone not named Caitlin being totally ignored by the stupid wnba.

Especially with Swoops trying to wordjutsu her way to say Clark’s college stats shouldn’t count. Just last night the entire Storms team refused to shake hands with the Fevers after the game and somehow they claim WNBA players don’t shake hands like in college but that was quickly debunked (go check Women Hooping channel). Extremely disingenuous and quite sad, but is to be expected from the current state of ESPN.

    As a new fan of the WNBA, we watch what is happening and see that Caitlin is 90% of the reason people are now watching the WNBA. Sellouts, 2 million plus viewers, jersey sales better than the Dallas Cowboys- it’s all due to Clark. Not the rookie class or the incremental growth of the WNBA. You need to just say you understand that and not try to provide an alternative answer. Because the options other than it’s due to Clark are wrong. And for the new fans, we like Clark’s style of play. The rest of the WNBA is pretty boring. High School boys games are more interesting. But Caitlin shoots like Steph and passes like Magic so we enjoy watching greatness. If Clark leaves so do I and so do millions of fans. It may not be fair but it is the reality that we see. It has nothing to do with race, it’s all about the Logo 3’s and, as Elle said, the Mahomes like dimes she drops on teammates from the other end of the floor. She is amazing!

    Caitlin Clark- charismatic, well spoken, straight ( oh yes white), never says a bad thing off court about any detractors. Joins the weakest team in the league that has difficulty making lay ups. Initially, three blow out losses against top teams. Then two exciting last minute losses. then a thrilling last minute win with her as PG going 11,10,8,4,1 with laser passes and two key game winning 3s near the finish. Meanwhile a league that many didn’t know existed is playing to sellout crowds.

No one hates CC, they hate her weird, very strange fans who have no idea what they are watching. Its just weird. CC will be fine, she doesn't need her so called fans trashing everyone, calling everyone racist and and insinuating that players are out to hurt her and her own teammates and coach are out to sabotage her.
    There is a process to this; a great player gets drafted by the worst team. The team gets better through draft picks and trades and learning to play with each other. 99% of the time, there is no instant gratification in this situation. Just let them play and let the coach coach.

    Thanking her for what?! The fact that many people are only tuning in because of her speaks to a larger issue. Women been hooping good for a long time. If people never heard of them before Clark that's their problem for being bandwagon fans and social media watchers. Sabrina was hitting 3's long before Clark. Candace Parker was winning college titles, MVP's and WNBA titles long before Clark came along. Sue Bird was doing her thing long before Clark. This narrative is why she has a target on her back and many tuning in to watch her lose, real fans are sick of it. Kobe brought tons of attention to the WNBA when he took his daughters to games. Giving all the credit to Clark is nonsense. This has been brewing for years now.

The NBA has been pushing the WNBA for years now, players like Kobe years ago brought attention to it, he was going to all of the games with his daughters, promoting it, he had a girls team also, trying to grow the sport. Candace works for TNT sports as an analyst bringing attention. She just retired, She has championships, MVP's, and gold medals, Sabrina shot 3's vs Curry in the last all star game, giving more attention to the WNBA. It's not just Clark. Giving Clark all the credit is the reason many are criticizing her, the casuals and media put a target on her back.

    The media has to stop saying that players are "hating" because theirs no evidence of that. And the disrespect Jewell Lloyd received after her 32-point game, from the reporters' questions being about CC, is what creates a toxic league. Her team gets better every game.

    Certainly Sheryl Swoopes hated on Caitlin Clark on Gilbert Arenas podcast. She said she was 25 years old playing against 18 year olds, that she took 40 shots per game, and the she an extra season to set the all time scoring record (all three of which weren't true). In terms of current WNBA players, I would say they have hated on her, but a lot of them have basically been urging some brakes be applied to the hype train. I am thinking of comments by players like Diane Tarusi and Lexi Brown, but I think lots of players have made comments. And while current WNBA players haven't hated on her, she has got a decent amount of hate from the media and that includes Elle Duncan who is making ad hominem attacks like calling her a "white princess".
    And Caitlin is elevating the league in a way even Lebron didn't elevate the NBA. I bought the WNBA league pass this year because of my intrigue with her. She is arguably the greatest women's college player of all time who plays an exciting style of basketball. If she was just a really 6'6 center people wouldn't care about her because that would be boring.

Almost empty arena. not making any money. NBA giving money to subsidize the wmba like a divorce husband to his ex wife. Lebron was celebrated then not as a savior of the league because the NBA was in no need of saving back then, he was celebrated as generational talent. It's not the same with Caitlin Clark, when she came to the wnba she came with her audience that fill up arena. Sold out ticket sales. Sponsorship's (money).

    I think the problem people fail to understand is that very few of the population can relate to a tatted up lesbian playing basketball, no offense. That’s why WNBA ratings have been mediocre at best in the 22 years ESPN has had the rights.
    Clark is neither of those. So she’s kind of out of left field. Not a typical WNBA player. But she draws attention. Why you would want to scare her fans away is beyond me. You’re literally burning future WNBA players money when you do that.
    Also, Elle is acting like nobody is dunking on her. Uhh, Elle… there’s this gal named Sheryl Swoopes, who frankly sounded like a selfish bitter old queen who was jealous at this generation of players.

    NOBODY
    IS
    HATING
    ON
    CC
    !!!!!
    Just saying it over and over again doesn’t make it true. Y’all don’t even want her to be guarded! Ridiculous
    “I only watch WNBA bc of CC” well that’s YOUR fault, casual! Bc she’s 0-5!! Either enjoy the games, ALL OF THEM, or STFU smh.
    Sick of it
