That’s not how sports work it’s a business because Caitlin lost back to back and the black team got no coverage for winning the championship. Also Aja won back to back championships and 2 time mvp so she can ball better than Caitlin. Caitlin is just a great 3 point shooter.
A'ja Wilson doesn't have to hate she's getting hers she's not saying Caitlin isn't the problem it's the fans and the media pushing the issue, whether you want to hear it or not let's go support Women's sports! ❤
@@consciousmeka3740 You are making my point- The WNBA is a business and Caitlin is bringing in the revenue and the hype for the league! Also, she plays a fast and exciting style of basketball too!
That’s not the point. I watch first take and undisputed almost every day and I don’t think I’ve heard one segment this season about Aja and she’s been Hooping! But there’s been plenty of segments about Clark.
@@kaisersose9152 If it is just because she is white, how do you explain Breanna Stewart, Brittney Ionescu etc. Clark is different. She makes watching the game fun. And keep pretending like she did not break all those records. Even NBA players talk about how great she is, Steph Curry, Lebron, Shaq, Barkley. Sounds like people like you are the racist.
@@kaisersose9152everyone is gonna have a different option and I respect yours. But atleast to me she can ball and is marketable… also in my option I believe if Catlin was another race it whould be the same just my option
One thing CC ISN'T bringing, is the negativity that so many players in the WNBA radiate. So many of the WNBA players are trying to make her popularity out to be something bad, and trying to separate her in their conversations about the WNBA, which is nothing but ignorant. When someone like this is popular and has so many fans, any smoke thrown at them from any other player is going to result in that player being hated by those very same fans. Anyone that shows LOVE to CC right now, has a very good chance of becoming a fan favorite as well, and eventually receiving the benefits that come along with that. How these players can not see that amazes me. There is a lot more benefits to them that come with accepting her than there is with hating on her.
I haven't paid any attention to the WNBA since the beginning, seeing all the sloppy play that is allowed turned me off. WNBA are their own worst enemy, miserable, spiteful and delusional.
It’s easy they are competitive and many know they are better than her and can prove it on the court which proves the point it isn’t how good you are it’s if they say you good at something and hype you up… I can name several current and past player cc can’t touch! But the media is acting like she Jesus and it’s not close to being the truth!
It is bad bc it's not based on performance. You can't build a sustainable league off racist viewers or viewers that only like 1 player. Every successful league has MANY stars and the only thing they have in common is their level of performance and right now CC is trash 1-10 3pts is not good enough and the players in the league know it.
It's most definitely about race and that was a set-up question they asked A'ja. A'ja has an Olympic Gold Medal, 2 WNBA Championships, 2 WNBA MVP awards, 2 WNBA DPOY awards, finals MVP, but they say she's not marketable, but A'ja is also a New York Times best selling author...but "it's not about race"
That doesn’t make you marketable? Is she selling out her own team jersey? Is she filling up away arenas? Are teams moving to a bigger arena when she plays them? The Aces are moving there game vs the fever to a bigger arena and will be playing the other teams at their original Arena why is that if she was that marketable they would stay in the bigger arena…
I will not continue to talk to someone that doesn't watch the game...The Aves have sold out their Arena for the past 3 seasons..,oh, and sold out this season as welll...
@@kenlighty78 Ok have they sold out away games ? When they play away are teams moving their games to bigger arena.. Clark 1st ever game in the WNBA which is an away game is sold out you see the difference.. I’m debating facts not opinions…
@@Logo3_22 better question is why. Is it the black ppl hyping her up or yt? be honest with yourself. sure she talented but, its obvious that she's more popular amongst the yt demographic. I get it though. Time to MAGA and WNBA great again right?
@@joe3rd403 might be so but because of CC regardless of the facts Angel getting recognized. Be honest, without CC a huge percentage of people that know Angel wouldn’t know who she is, CC is helping all those girls regardless of who’s Better. A lot of them ball out.
It isn't "one" player alone that wins a championship, but "one player" added to the team can, and not everyone can be that player and be the one that tips scale from the team being just a contender to being a winner. CC has the potential to be one of those kinds of players. It's not just her skills o the court, it is the attention and fan support that comes with it. Even if the fans originally come to support her, they also are there supporting the team. That is going to encourage the other players on the team to play better, but it also encourages other skilled players in the league to want to play there as well, which can building a better team in the future much easier. When a player has so much fan support, it is multi dimensional.
Yeah it's about blacks always whining when they don't get their way or when they are jealous cause a white woman is bringing attention to the Wnba that they never did.
So race is the reason Clark has 40plus NCAA record? Has Clark ever came out publicly and be racial to anyone besides play ball ? Has she ever answer the critics in an aggressive tone? This girls just showed up the college and did things no women in the game has done before with her scoring ability and filling out areas both home and away
anyone remember mia hamm? she was a very popular and talented soccer player back in early 2000. she was so good she was in commercials with michael jordan and other top male atheletes. little girls were signing up left and right wanting to play soccer and everyone was saying this is like new era for women's sports and it will only get better..NOT. after mia hamm retired, no one gave a blank about women's soccer. i think this is how it's going to be for wnba as well. wnba players should just embrace CC's popularity and ride her coattail while she's still hot because it's wnba, nobody cares.
Wilson can blame this attention Clark is getting on race, but it won’t change the fact that people will still watch Clark more and that Clark gives people the entertainment that came to see
Caitlin Clark is a really good player. It's not Caitlin's fault , fans and media keep pushing the greatness down other players' throat. Let's wait and see what Caitlin does in the WNBA first before you judge. She was great in college, one 🐐 for two seasons. I feel she will transition to the WNBA will but she has a team let them jeal together it's the only way to win championships not as one team. Let the Fever play fans shouldn't exspect Caitlin to shoot 25/30 times per game. I want her to score points too fans let be patient. Go Fever!
True, but will she actually do something about it? Honestly, Aja is an idiot because if what she said was true, then the Williams sisters in tennis never would've become household names, so that fact defeats her crybaby logic right there. Unfortunately for Caitlin Clark, I feel most of the wnba is against her.
Bullshit. Did you not see her interview where when she was asked about her and Caitlin's friendship, she said they are friends, but at the end she said, in a snarky way, but I'm here now. This is my team. Then she wore that damn SC outfit and that is the team a;ja played for. They are making her look like a little b*tch. And we all know why they drafted Kate. The same reason they got Megan Gustafson. They want to win another championship and rub Caitlin's nose in it that her ex-teammate got a ring before she did. Kate was predicted to go as the 28th pick.
Caitlin Clark Can Shoot 3 Pointers Good Against Average Competition ... With Girls Equal and More Athletic Than Her Let's See How She Does ... Who The Hell Can't Be A Star at IOWA 😂😂😂
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 Aja spoke the truth Clark not even the best player on her team since preseason it’s Smith but people still talking about Clark! Clark playing like trash since she came into the Wnba with multiple turnovers but the media and yt people still think she’s the greatest basketball player and thinking she can change the Wnba by herself! The Clark effect is about to be over this ain’t college this the Wnba and there’s a lot of women that’s great and they all coming for her. And we all know what happens when you put defense on Clark she start bricking shots like she did against Sc when Raven put that defense on her. The Cinderella story is over!
@LaLa2time uh huh. We're talking about the same Aja who claims corporate America won't give endorsement deals to black women... even though the Williams sisters are black and they have endorsement deals. AND not long after nike gave Caitlin Clark her deal, they gave Aja a deal, too? That same Aja? Also, I'm not sure what games you've been watching, but Caitlin seems to be playing well thus far. Yeah, she needs to cut back on her turnovers, but she scored 21 points in her first game and nearly flirted with a triple double in her second preseason game. Even by NBA standards, that's pretty good if you can get close to a triple double. Also, you're acting like it's a forgone conclusion she's a bust when we haven't even seen her play half season, at least. Do you actively want this young woman to fail? Are you so petty that just the mere mention of her success upsets you? I hate LeBron James and his fans, but do you think I lose sleep at night whenever he breaks a record or does something good? No, because my life doesn't revolve around him, and it's just a game at the end of the day. Maybe you should stop revolving your life around Caitlin Clark. It's OK if you don't like her, but there's no need to lose sleep over her.
It's not the color of your skin!!! It's not about race.... it's about CHARM! Look how famous Steph Curry, Beyonce, Kobe, etal. You cannot force people to like you... just because you are good at what you do.
The hate is all about color..Black people do not like the white man or woman dominating basketball or the rap game like Eminem..The hate he got when breaking in was fast and furious and now here we are again..This time its basketball...THE HATE IS ALL ABOUT RACE!.
All this hate against a little girl from Iowa 😅😅😅😅😅Why?? CAUSE SHE HAPPENS TO BE A GENERATIONAL TALENT!!!! I've been watching Basketball for 60 years and never seen a woman this good ..She's sooooo good you have to compare her to men .Pistol Pete..Seth Cury Lary bird ..you why cause what woman can compare?? NONE !! These women should be thanking Catlin cause she's bringing the eyes so all these women can show case their skills .Cause I've never heard of A.wilson till Catlin brought her some light !! So girls it's not about race it's about TALENT!! Please unit and pick each other up cause your league depends on it .
There may be some truth to what A'ja is saying. Nevertheless, her comments are just plain dumb. Wallowing in anonymity is what the WNBA has been suffering under for decades. Lack of fan interest is why her pay is so low. Players don't get the respect they deserve because no one is watching their games. Caitlin Clark's rookie class (including Cardosa, Reese, Edwards, Brink, and other high profile collegiate stars) is the best thing that's happened to the WNBA in the last decade. A'ja should publicly embrace the wave of new talent, because the color of money isn't black or white, it's green.
So what if it is because she's white, even if she was a blue Smurf, the WNBA needs all the help they can get to market that deplorable league. I hope Clark becomes the female Michael Jordan, anything to help a struggling league they nobody watches.
The WNBA was growing before Caitlin Clark got there so are you saying that none of those people matter because that's how other people are taking it This is why she is despised and it's not even her fault it's ya'lls. Caitlin has helped it just as well as others but because people love controversy the WNBA has chosen to use this to divide people and bring in ratings because it sells
@@jpbodybuilding5160 nobody's hating on taurasi or sue bird, they are white stop making excuses she has to put in the work. You super fans are like babies throwing temper tantrums as soon as your proven wrong you want to insult and deflect
Everything influenced by race is not racism. Tiger woods was also popular for the exact same reasons Caitlin is. Race AND skill. They should be doing what the golfers did, use tiger to raise everyones pay.
these women gone mad because everyone wants to see Caitlin Clark and not Aja Wilson she sound just like the chicks mad at the dudes for choosing the rabbits 🐰over her knowing she's not got sale tickets
Well the aces been selling out so this comment is invalid. She also has a statue and 2 time back to back champion. lol I doubt she care about a 🐰who can’t be in the sun long without turning into a poached egg. 😂
@consciousmeka3740she obviously cares about that snow bunny, because she's taken the time to talk shit about her. She's bitter because nobody is going to see her, she's not putting asses in the seats like clark, all those accolades and no shoe deal? Because she's not getting the attention clark is. She has all those accomplishments, and yet takes time out to talk shit about a rookie who hasn't even played her first regular game of the season. Instead of acting like a champion she decides to talk like a sore loser about someone who hasn't said anything about anyone. That is one of the reasons we all like Clark. People like humbleness, players that do their talking on the court. Clark is also charismatic, and charming. She also brings all those qualities when she's on the court. Wilson is a petty, racist woman. Now any chance she had at getting newer fans, is out the door. I had never heard of wilson, and sheryl swopes, until lately, and that's not because of anything they did on the court like clark, its because their hatred for her being white. Clark has brought so much attention to the league, and anyone that says anything about her to the public will bring attention onto themselves, so what she should have done when asked about clark is either say something nice or nothing at all, because everyone is watching, and paying attention to the kind of person she is........which is a petty, racist, and hateful person. If any white player had said anything like this about a black person they would be cancelled, suspended, and they would also lose endorsements, and sponsors, and would not be able to come back to the league until they took classes and shit. I've never been a pc person but i say suspend her, and treat and hold her racist ass accountable. All of them. This young lady has gotten so much hate because she's good, and because she happens to be white. Complete bullshit.
@@consciousmeka3740she got all that but nobody talks about her like they do catlin and catlin got a shoe deal before playing one game aja ain't got that nor do she bring in ratings
@@consciousmeka3740 why isn't aja more popular with black people if its all about race? I've seen alot of black nba players giving cc her flowers but none of them have spoken about aja are you claiming they are raci$t too. The logic makes no sense. CC is popular with all basketball people except those who want to blame raci$m for her rise to popularity. Like is Stephen A raci$t for talking about cc like she's the great hope of WNBA. Your argument is flimsy as hell.
Sheryl Swoopes has the distinction of being the first player to sign with the WNBA, the first woman to get her own basketball shoe and owner of the longest-running WNBA line, which lasted form 1995 to 2001. Caitlin is only the third white player to get a shoe deal in the WNBA.
That is on A'JA. She thinks it is about race, so it is on her part. You make it about race, so it becomes that to her. No matter what color you are, your experiences and environment will dictate how you act.
It's always about Race first when it comes Glorifying someone. Black are Never put on a pedestal for their accomplishments. We are always good....then theirs the But. You don't have to accomplish much to be Glorified as a white person. Wilson is 1,000,000 percent Right.
Michael Jordan is a multiple billionaire. Magic Johnson is a billionaire. Larry Bird is not. It isn’t about race but how the public loves your play and how you capitalize on that love. If it was about race, how do you explain Tiger Woods and the attention he got since he was a teenager? The truth is all of us love greatness and especially if it brings an unusual aspect. Caitlin is by far the best stat line in women’s basketball history and she shoots a Logo 3. That is why she is popular. Period.
The examples you gave made their billions from business and non basketball activities. Bird chose coaching and management instead of business and capitalizing on his name with a “shoe deal” like Jordan! Caitlin was great for college basketball, however her game and her ability so far, has not transfered to the WNBA! Popularity can only take you so far, she has to adapt and adjust to the professional game.
@@sawyermookie4764 It’s going to take time for Caitlin to adapt and adjust to her new reality. She and her supporters can’t expect any special treatment. Sabrina Ionesco just cooked her and said “welcome to the WNBA”! You can expect more of the same as the season progresses.
“You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the ones you see building one another up instead of tearing each other down.” Hey 👋 WNBA, Be Better… Little Girls are Watching and Listening…
Just No! If Caitlin was black with those stats, I would be watching her, for sure! Wouldn't make any difference to me. I am fascinated by her excellence, and nothing more!
You're a hypocrite. You really think if she wasn't a white player she'd have such hype around her, and then she's from Iowa. A'ja's right about the whole line. She hasn't played a game in the league yet but people are already putting her on a pedestal. Despite her stats, she hasn't won the NCAAP, and South Carolina has been ignored to give her any more spotlight. And all the black journalists and influencers who want to make a good impression in the media are praising her even though we haven't seen her prove herself in the league yet; we'll do everything we can to make her ROY even if she didn't deserve it.
Bro what the heck are you talking about? Even in the men's game the #1 pick a lot of time doesn't win a national championship. It's all about the best player. How can you say a black journalist wants to make a good impression based on your feelings of another person? You dudes act like women and it's sad.
Bro no body buy Aja jersey they not filling stands the WNBA finals had less views than most of Clark’s games in college last season… Lose the hate and let that girl be.. She has never came out publicly and called out any players in the league she always speaks highly of them and gave them their props..
WNBA needs to do some PR consulting with players. When someone deals in race it can affect their ability to get sponsorships and that’s where the money is.
Yes, that blacks are jealous that it took a white woman to bring attention to the Wnba, got charter flights , selling out arenas . Instead of being thankful, they are hateful and jealoys.
Nike should cancel that signature shoe deal with Aja if she doesn't shut her big mouth. No one might buy the shoes because the new game don't even know her.
They may very well do so if she keeps running her mouth of another player that has a $28,000,000,000 contract, hopefully, they will dump her, and Nike will cancel Aja. Contract For being the jealous, black, female, racist, democratic. That would be awesome!!
I disagree. I never seen a woman in the WNBA play like clark not even a little bit. If there was a woman in the WNBA playing like Steph Curry all this time then I’ll be like OK yeah they have a point there. There is no woman Steph in the WNBA other than Clark
If I was a WNBA player, I would ride the Caitlin Clark train until the wheels fall off!! They will get more money because of renegotiated TV deals, endorsements, exposure and ticket sales. When golfers realized what Tiger did to increase the popularity and prize money, they accepted the fact that he was the face of golf when he was dominant.
Brianna Stewart, Sue Bird etc? She had a shoe deal before Caitlin but kept quiet when people were calling Nike and Caitlin’s fans racist for not giving A’ja one but she had one for almost 2 years. People are so conniving and use others to further their market roll out and we fall for it. Totally disagree
Maybe Caitlin should have taken Ice Cube's deal. Then it would be same ol' same ol'. Nobody would be talking about the WNBA and the players would still be flying commercial. They act like jealous school girls and not grown women.
A’ja Wilson is full of crap try being a true professional and embrace generational talent black or white because very soon a brand new compensation package is coming for the WNBA!!!!
Only WNBA player I or most people know is CC. It's not about race, her shoe deal is because she moves that needle, who's going to by a shoe of some player nobody knows. The other players should be thanking her, for selling tickets, because no one cared about WNBA before CC.
She knows, this isn't about race ,it's about her being passed Caitlin got her shoe deal before her and she had to whine and play the race card to get hers. Which it wasn't Caitlins fault she hadn't got hers.
So now it's about popularity people have never heard of of a lot of players because they don't watch the WNBA. Just watch how these no name players grind up your popular favorite. Caitlin will be popular for something if she don't put in that work and get better skill level don't match her competitions as you are seeing and we'll see as the weeks go by
I guess millions of kids are racists because they are the ones asking for autographs of Caitlin Clark and their parents are also racists because they allow their kids to seek CC’s autograph. Anyway as an Asian living in Mexico I am a racist because began watching women’s basketball when I saw Iowa play in the Big 10 tournament in 2023. I was mesmerized by those pretty eyes which keeps reminding of Esmeralda in the Disney animation Hunchback of Notre Dame. But wait that was Gabbie Marshall not Caitlin Clark. Then I saw the sign Caitlin from the logo and began mesmerized by Caitlin Clarks game and noticed how the stadium was full. Before that my favorite WNBA player was Jidion who bought four tickets to a WNBA game to sleep court side because he had sleep anea and his doctor told him to attend a WNBA game as remedy.
I don’t think it is about race because she is not the only one new to the WNBA that is making money. It is jealousy and envy in my opinion. It is not her fault she is marketable. At the end of the day sports is a business and no one was watching the WNBA until this class of new players.
U right but ride the wave n enjoy the visibility that she could not make it do. The new wave of women are pretty good need to thx those new women for the eyes they getting l.😊
Hell no. I’m not white or black but Caitlin has that appeal. There are certain people that have it and it’s not about race. I never watched baseball before Ohtani, golf before Tiger, basketball before Jordan
That’s not disrespect, it’s truth. The same praise was given to Larry Bird in the 80s. The difference is, he earned it being a champion. Let her grow and win before given her all this praise. She has done absolutely nothing in the WNBA yet!
except boost ticket sales and merch to numbers never seen before. And brought fans to a decrepit league who needed to be subsidized. The question is what did aja do to grow the league?
Got all teams charted flights, selling out games, games being moved to bigger arenas, something none of the players did before her including the black ones.
@@myrongailliard1998 ya it was on such a rise that clark joining the fever was able to triple the ticket sales and make them move to larger venues for her games specifically. You missed the sale on common sense it seems.
@@myrongailliard1998 yea sure and they could barely sell Jersey? Until Clark and Angel came around yall need to chill with that.. Those players were not moving the league
That’s a lie and if that’s the case Reese should be getting just as much attention as Clark! Speak the truth don’t lie! Clark been playing like trash since she came into the Wnba and she’s not even the best player on team since the preseason but she’s still getting talked about when it should be Smith so that tells you it’s about color.
@@LaLa2time If its about race then why aren't the other white girls in the wnba popular like that. Shouldn't Cameron brink be getting major deals and media attention too since she's just as good and white as well? And why are the biggest names in the nba jordan kobe and lebron instead of dirk, nash and kidd. Whenever theres a stand out white talent its racism but when you have popular black athletes its just natural. gotta be a victim.
@@MrArrow54-No, it's just black women being jealous cause it took a White woman to get the Wnba recognized and to make people want to watch sold out games. Also think black women are jealous of all the attention Caitlin gets from the black men of the NBA that they don't get.
Y’all pumping cc head up but she’s in the real world playing with same people who has been playing better than her for years. Where was their hype. Just like the coach she’s can’t say against her like her other players yall need to stop with cc crap. She’s not a one man show it takes a team. The media is the cause of all this.
They have broken records like she has on the NCAA level. No one cares about less athletic looking men running around playing sub par basketball when you can watch the real thing.
Caitlin Clark is a phenomenal player, and her accomplishments speak for themselves. I also believe race does matter when it comes to Madison Avenue and America. WNBA has always had a big-time elite players, a lot of them were African American and were NEVER hypes as much as Caitlin Clark. Caitlin just keeps her head down and continues to ball out.
Very stupid comment I think they should be happy the will getting money in their pocket The girl is not going anywhere just embrace the Woman and the game
Caitlin Clark is a great player, no doubt, but I can see a little overshadowing going on. When you search Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark pops up just as much as the person you searched.....interesting 💯💪🏾🔥# LIQUIDATOR..it's takes a team
CC became the leading scorer in college basketball history (mens and women's) because she makes baskets. Not white baskets or black baskets... Just baskets. All of the other players in the WNBA ( black or white) had the same opportunity to be that guy, but they weren't good enough. And now they want to whine about the attention CC is getting. This whole issue is pathetic.
@@ryanjones4275 you live under a rock - do your research - and don't pull some stats from ancient times when there was like 4 teams - what is wrong with you haters?
There is a small racial component in that 60% of the US population is white plus the Midwest values and CC's likable nature. Those factors are what I think make CC so hugely popular... there are simply more people who identify with her cultural background.
Isaiah Thomas said the same thing about Larry Bird, Isiah got critized heavily becuase it was ignorant. We all know you can't get a nickname like "Larry Legend" without being a legend lol
The media is making her bigger than she is. Some of this stuff about charter planes was in the works before she was drafted. They have been bigger stars then her that came in the WNBA but didn’t get this much recognition and I believe this is why the older athletes are on that wait and see mode
Instead of enjoying the notoriety and fanfare of the WNBA from CC's arrival, we're seeing maximum jealousy which will cease when all the arenas sell out for Fever home and visiting games.
It will make it worse. Once these jealous athletes see 19,000 fans show up when Caitlin is playing and then the next week their attendance drops back to 7,000. That will be reality being rubbed in their faces.
I agree with AJ because nobody else gets any press, there are lots of already Super Stars in the WNBA who have won College Championships and Catilin didn’t even though she’s a great player and broke all kinds of records but even away from home last last night we didn’t get to hear the starting lineup for LasVegas Aces because it was all about CC, I’m not a hater but WNBA has handled this poorly from beginning because they told us The Chicago Sky was going to be televised but it wasn’t and there were hardly any hi lights of other teams because of the CC effect, yes she’s helped bring in more revenue and people who want to see her play but the media have ignored other Players who have Won Back to back Championships because so focused on Catlin, and all the hype about WNBA Flying was not true for all teams, but you better know Catlin Fever team flying
She has been dubbed “🐐” without having actually won anything…anyone who criticizes her or refuses to elevate her to 🐐 status is “hating”…Not even former MVP’s, Champions, Gold Medal winners- women with actual 🐐resumes not allowed to critique the obvious flaws in her game? Sounds like she is only telling the truth…snowflakes don’t like that if it’s not what they want to hear
FACTS that's what I've been saying. Y'all keep calling her the greatest female hooper but she ain't won nothing. And in college nobody played real defense on her. And when they did play defense against her, Raven Johnson had her ass locked up.
Aja should recognize that she didn’t get Nike shoe deal till now because of lack of personal charm (looking or personality) to fans. Will be curious how many shoes she can sell.
If I was the owner of the Aces, I would call Aja Wilson into my office and tell her to, "shut your mouth!" Because of the "white" lady, the WNBA draft had more people watching it than ever before. Games are being moved to larger arenas and are sold out. There is now more attention and talk about the WNBA and what these women are paid. All of the players will benefit from the CC effect.
She also didn’t say it’s solely because she white.. she is good it’s like the Eminem effect the market is predominantly white of course people relate more to individuals they have commonality with
If it was about race i would agree with Aja. unfortunately this is not that case. if Caitlen wasnt lighting it up from all the way around that court, i would agree. If Caitlin wasnt pulling some of the fastest step back 3's ive ever seen in the WNBA and college I would agree with Aja. If Caitlin wasnt averaging more assist then teams combined I would agree with Aja. I have to give Caitlin her flowers and her respect. She's a beast on the court and she has killed teams by herself and she's making that felt right now. So this one cant be about race. I do feel were Aja is coming from but Caitlin is just that good.
John I gotta disagree on you on this one, it is about rave, just like when Magic and Larry burden came out. Who won the rookie of the year and who won the Championship butbbors got the rookie of the year because he was the great white hype. When has there been a black player not go this kind of fame. AJA should have gotten when she left S C. Sorry John you missed it this time😊
Not about race at all. Perfect timing for Caitlin Clark. Both women's college and professional basketball were on the rise. Then comes this gal that can shoot long range 3's like no one before and is crushing all these scoring records on the way. With all due respect to Iowa would they have made it to the sweet 16 without her?

Caitlin Clark reminds me of coach prime they just hate for no reason lol she just trying to ball leave her alone
Aja Wilson is a 2 time champ a 2 time MVP Caitlin is not even in her league.
What she said was true Jerry Cooney syndrome wilts under reality.
What she is saying has some truth to it
Bron please stewie was better
@@kaisersose9152 If it is just because she is white, how do you explain Breanna Stewart, Brittney Ionescu etc. Clark is different. She makes watching the game fun. And keep pretending like she did not break all those records. Even NBA players talk about how great she is, Steph Curry, Lebron, Shaq, Barkley. Sounds like people like you are the racist.
@@kaisersose9152everyone is gonna have a different option and I respect yours. But atleast to me she can ball and is marketable… also in my option I believe if Catlin was another race it whould be the same just my option
One thing CC ISN'T bringing, is the negativity that so many players in the WNBA radiate. So many of the WNBA players are trying to make her popularity out to be something bad, and trying to separate her in their conversations about the WNBA, which is nothing but ignorant. When someone like this is popular and has so many fans, any smoke thrown at them from any other player is going to result in that player being hated by those very same fans. Anyone that shows LOVE to CC right now, has a very good chance of becoming a fan favorite as well, and eventually receiving the benefits that come along with that. How these players can not see that amazes me. There is a lot more benefits to them that come with accepting her than there is with hating on her.
I haven't paid any attention to the WNBA since the beginning, seeing all the sloppy play that is allowed turned me off. WNBA are their own worst enemy, miserable, spiteful and delusional.
It’s easy they are competitive and many know they are better than her and can prove it on the court which proves the point it isn’t how good you are it’s if they say you good at something and hype you up… I can name several current and past player cc can’t touch! But the media is acting like she Jesus and it’s not close to being the truth!
It is bad bc it's not based on performance. You can't build a sustainable league off racist viewers or viewers that only like 1 player. Every successful league has MANY stars and the only thing they have in common is their level of performance and right now CC is trash 1-10 3pts is not good enough and the players in the league know it.
It's most definitely about race and that was a set-up question they asked A'ja. A'ja has an Olympic Gold Medal, 2 WNBA Championships, 2 WNBA MVP awards, 2 WNBA DPOY awards, finals MVP, but they say she's not marketable, but A'ja is also a New York Times best selling author...but "it's not about race"
That doesn’t make you marketable? Is she selling out her own team jersey? Is she filling up away arenas? Are teams moving to a bigger arena when she plays them? The Aces are moving there game vs the fever to a bigger arena and will be playing the other teams at their original Arena why is that if she was that marketable they would stay in the bigger arena…
I will not continue to talk to someone that doesn't watch the game...The Aves have sold out their Arena for the past 3 seasons..,oh, and sold out this season as welll...
@@kenlighty78 Ok have they sold out away games ? When they play away are teams moving their games to bigger arena.. Clark 1st ever game in the WNBA which is an away game is sold out you see the difference.. I’m debating facts not opinions…
@@Logo3_22 better question is why. Is it the black ppl hyping her up or yt? be honest with yourself. sure she talented but, its obvious that she's more popular amongst the yt demographic. I get it though. Time to MAGA and WNBA great again right?

@@joe3rd403 If she is getting less coverage, she isn't a bigger star....
@@joe3rd403 might be so but because of CC regardless of the facts Angel getting recognized. Be honest, without CC a huge percentage of people that know Angel wouldn’t know who she is, CC is helping all those girls regardless of who’s Better. A lot of them ball out.
Stop parroting that a single player can win a basketball championship. Never happened, never will.
💯💯💯💯💯
😆
Cry more 😭
This is the problem media and marketing
It isn't "one" player alone that wins a championship, but "one player" added to the team can, and not everyone can be that player and be the one that tips scale from the team being just a contender to being a winner. CC has the potential to be one of those kinds of players. It's not just her skills o the court, it is the attention and fan support that comes with it. Even if the fans originally come to support her, they also are there supporting the team. That is going to encourage the other players on the team to play better, but it also encourages other skilled players in the league to want to play there as well, which can building a better team in the future much easier. When a player has so much fan support, it is multi dimensional.
It’s always about race you’re fooling yourself if you think not .
Yeah it's about blacks always whining when they don't get their way or when they are jealous cause a white woman is bringing attention to the Wnba that they never did.
So race is the reason Clark has 40plus NCAA record? Has Clark ever came out publicly and be racial to anyone besides play ball ? Has she ever answer the critics in an aggressive tone? This girls just showed up the college and did things no women in the game has done before with her scoring ability and filling out areas both home and away
not on this plantation! How dare you say that??!!?
😂 Basketball is not a white dominated sport. Caitlin is the minority and gets bullied for being great.
@@jahrei5244Bro quit acting like your mama.
anyone remember mia hamm? she was a very popular and talented soccer player back in early 2000. she was so good she was in commercials with michael jordan and other top male atheletes. little girls were signing up left and right wanting to play soccer and everyone was saying this is like new era for women's sports and it will only get better..NOT. after mia hamm retired, no one gave a blank about women's soccer. i think this is how it's going to be for wnba as well. wnba players should just embrace CC's popularity and ride her coattail while she's still hot because it's wnba, nobody cares.
Funny that u just mentioned her, Hamm just sent CC a signed jersey, one of CC's idol is Mia Hamm. ❤😊
They are spiteful, it's a lot easier to ask for a raise if people are showing up.... Get the fans in the door.
Wilson can blame this attention Clark is getting on race, but it won’t change the fact that people will still watch Clark more and that Clark gives people the entertainment that came to see
The women players will need to put away their hate, jealousy, and personal emotions if they want their league to succeed!
Thank you!
Not hate, just honesty.
@@SimplyNeema quit your crying
@@turnthree5617 No tears. Just honesty.
@@SimplyNeema I could give you a dose of honesty but I'll keep it to myself
I don’t agree with what she said no it’s not about race the young woman is just good and she deserves her shine period.
Caitlin Clark is a really good player. It's not Caitlin's fault , fans and media keep pushing the greatness down other players' throat. Let's wait and see what Caitlin does in the WNBA first before you judge. She was great in college, one 🐐 for two seasons. I feel she will transition to the WNBA will but she has a team let them jeal together it's the only way to win championships not as one team. Let the Fever play fans shouldn't exspect Caitlin to shoot 25/30 times per game. I want her to score points too fans let be patient. Go Fever!
Kate Martin isn't going to like having her best friend being disrespected by one of her teammates.
True, but will she actually do something about it? Honestly, Aja is an idiot because if what she said was true, then the Williams sisters in tennis never would've become household names, so that fact defeats her crybaby logic right there. Unfortunately for Caitlin Clark, I feel most of the wnba is against her.
Bullshit. Did you not see her interview where when she was asked about her and Caitlin's friendship, she said they are friends, but at the end she said, in a snarky way, but I'm here now. This is my team. Then she wore that damn SC outfit and that is the team a;ja played for. They are making her look like a little b*tch. And we all know why they drafted Kate. The same reason they got Megan Gustafson. They want to win another championship and rub Caitlin's nose in it that her ex-teammate got a ring before she did. Kate was predicted to go as the 28th pick.
Caitlin Clark Can Shoot 3 Pointers Good Against Average Competition ... With Girls Equal and More Athletic Than Her Let's See How She Does ... Who The Hell Can't Be A Star at IOWA 😂😂😂
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 Aja spoke the truth Clark not even the best player on her team since preseason it’s Smith but people still talking about Clark! Clark playing like trash since she came into the Wnba with multiple turnovers but the media and yt people still think she’s the greatest basketball player and thinking she can change the Wnba by herself! The Clark effect is about to be over this ain’t college this the Wnba and there’s a lot of women that’s great and they all coming for her. And we all know what happens when you put defense on Clark she start bricking shots like she did against Sc when Raven put that defense on her. The Cinderella story is over!
@LaLa2time uh huh. We're talking about the same Aja who claims corporate America won't give endorsement deals to black women... even though the Williams sisters are black and they have endorsement deals. AND not long after nike gave Caitlin Clark her deal, they gave Aja a deal, too? That same Aja?
Also, I'm not sure what games you've been watching, but Caitlin seems to be playing well thus far. Yeah, she needs to cut back on her turnovers, but she scored 21 points in her first game and nearly flirted with a triple double in her second preseason game. Even by NBA standards, that's pretty good if you can get close to a triple double. Also, you're acting like it's a forgone conclusion she's a bust when we haven't even seen her play half season, at least. Do you actively want this young woman to fail? Are you so petty that just the mere mention of her success upsets you? I hate LeBron James and his fans, but do you think I lose sleep at night whenever he breaks a record or does something good? No, because my life doesn't revolve around him, and it's just a game at the end of the day. Maybe you should stop revolving your life around Caitlin Clark. It's OK if you don't like her, but there's no need to lose sleep over her.
It's not the color of your skin!!!
It's not about race.... it's about CHARM!
Look how famous Steph Curry, Beyonce, Kobe, etal.
You cannot force people to like you... just because you are good at what you do.
These wnba player need to put the Arms her this godsend. She’s here to take Game to her next level and get everybody pay. 💯
The hate is all about color..Black people do not like the white man or woman dominating basketball or the rap game like Eminem..The hate he got when breaking in was fast and furious and now here we are again..This time its basketball...THE HATE IS ALL ABOUT RACE!.
Nobody plays Eminem in the hood
You are mistaking facts for hate. She is a Media Champion, no more, no less.
All this hate against a little girl from Iowa 😅😅😅😅😅Why?? CAUSE SHE HAPPENS TO BE A GENERATIONAL TALENT!!!! I've been watching Basketball for 60 years and never seen a woman this good ..She's sooooo good you have to compare her to men .Pistol Pete..Seth Cury Lary bird ..you why cause what woman can compare?? NONE !! These women should be thanking Catlin cause she's bringing the eyes so all these women can show case their skills .Cause I've never heard of A.wilson till Catlin brought her some light !! So girls it's not about race it's about TALENT!! Please unit and pick each other up cause your league depends on it .
All the slavery against blacks. We can have that talk.
Aja Wilson is the best player in the league right now
There may be some truth to what A'ja is saying. Nevertheless, her comments are just plain dumb.
Wallowing in anonymity is what the WNBA has been suffering under for decades. Lack of fan interest is why her pay is so low. Players don't get the respect they deserve because no one is watching their games.
Caitlin Clark's rookie class (including Cardosa, Reese, Edwards, Brink, and other high profile collegiate stars) is the best thing that's happened to the WNBA in the last decade. A'ja should publicly embrace the wave of new talent, because the color of money isn't black or white, it's green.
💯💢🤣!
So what if it is because she's white, even if she was a blue Smurf, the WNBA needs all the help they can get to market that deplorable league. I hope Clark becomes the female Michael Jordan, anything to help a struggling league they nobody watches.
agree with you....if it is black woman....they re not gonna say something
The WNBA was growing before Caitlin Clark got there so are you saying that none of those people matter because that's how other people are taking it This is why she is despised and it's not even her fault it's ya'lls. Caitlin has helped it just as well as others but because people love controversy the WNBA has chosen to use this to divide people and bring in ratings because it sells
lol... First it's "race shouldn't matter. Just your work and achievements" Now white people have changed the argument to... "so what" lol!!
@@jpbodybuilding5160 nobody's hating on taurasi or sue bird, they are white stop making excuses she has to put in the work. You super fans are like babies throwing temper tantrums as soon as your proven wrong you want to insult and deflect
Everything influenced by race is not racism. Tiger woods was also popular for the exact same reasons Caitlin is. Race AND skill. They should be doing what the golfers did, use tiger to raise everyones pay.
bingo how do black people have toe power to be racist in this society people say anything lmao
these women gone mad because everyone wants to see Caitlin Clark and not Aja Wilson she sound just like the chicks mad at the dudes for choosing the rabbits 🐰over her knowing she's not got sale tickets
Well the aces been selling out so this comment is invalid. She also has a statue and 2 time back to back champion. lol I doubt she care about a 🐰who can’t be in the sun long without turning into a poached egg. 😂
@consciousmeka3740she obviously cares about that snow bunny, because she's taken the time to talk shit about her. She's bitter because nobody is going to see her, she's not putting asses in the seats like clark, all those accolades and no shoe deal? Because she's not getting the attention clark is. She has all those accomplishments, and yet takes time out to talk shit about a rookie who hasn't even played her first regular game of the season. Instead of acting like a champion she decides to talk like a sore loser about someone who hasn't said anything about anyone. That is one of the reasons we all like Clark. People like humbleness, players that do their talking on the court. Clark is also charismatic, and charming. She also brings all those qualities when she's on the court. Wilson is a petty, racist woman. Now any chance she had at getting newer fans, is out the door. I had never heard of wilson, and sheryl swopes, until lately, and that's not because of anything they did on the court like clark, its because their hatred for her being white. Clark has brought so much attention to the league, and anyone that says anything about her to the public will bring attention onto themselves, so what she should have done when asked about clark is either say something nice or nothing at all, because everyone is watching, and paying attention to the kind of person she is........which is a petty, racist, and hateful person. If any white player had said anything like this about a black person they would be cancelled, suspended, and they would also lose endorsements, and sponsors, and would not be able to come back to the league until they took classes and shit. I've never been a pc person but i say suspend her, and treat and hold her racist ass accountable. All of them. This young lady has gotten so much hate because she's good, and because she happens to be white. Complete bullshit.
@@consciousmeka3740she got all that but nobody talks about her like they do catlin and catlin got a shoe deal before playing one game aja ain't got that nor do she bring in ratings
@@ridiculousnicolas2563 thanks for proving her point lol 😂
@@consciousmeka3740 why isn't aja more popular with black people if its all about race? I've seen alot of black nba players giving cc her flowers but none of them have spoken about aja are you claiming they are raci$t too. The logic makes no sense. CC is popular with all basketball people except those who want to blame raci$m for her rise to popularity. Like is Stephen A raci$t for talking about cc like she's the great hope of WNBA. Your argument is flimsy as hell.
Sheryl Swoopes has the distinction of being the first player to sign with the WNBA, the first woman to get her own basketball shoe and owner of the longest-running WNBA line, which lasted form 1995 to 2001. Caitlin is only the third white player to get a shoe deal in the WNBA.
"Never underestimate the jealousy of Women to F*** things up!"
That is on A'JA. She thinks it is about race, so it is on her part. You make it about race, so it becomes that to her. No matter what color you are, your experiences and environment will dictate how you act.
It's always about Race first when it comes Glorifying someone.
Black are Never put on a pedestal for their accomplishments.
We are always good....then theirs the But.
You don't have to accomplish much to be Glorified as a white person.
Wilson is 1,000,000 percent Right.
She put it in the grind, SO LET HER SHINE!!!
Michael Jordan is a multiple billionaire. Magic Johnson is a billionaire. Larry Bird is not. It isn’t about race but how the public loves your play and how you capitalize on that love. If it was about race, how do you explain Tiger Woods and the attention he got since he was a teenager? The truth is all of us love greatness and especially if it brings an unusual aspect. Caitlin is by far the best stat line in women’s basketball history and she shoots a Logo 3. That is why she is popular. Period.
The examples you gave made their billions from business and non basketball activities. Bird chose coaching and management instead of business and capitalizing on his name with a “shoe deal” like Jordan! Caitlin was great for college basketball, however her game and her ability so far, has not transfered to the WNBA! Popularity can only take you so far, she has to adapt and adjust to the professional game.
@@berylallen7800The season just started, of course is hasn't transferred yet.
@@sawyermookie4764 It’s going to take time for Caitlin to adapt and adjust to her new reality. She and her supporters can’t expect any special treatment. Sabrina Ionesco just cooked her and said “welcome to the WNBA”! You can expect more of the same as the season progresses.
It's not about race it's a Young lady that's down to earth and humble
wrong it's all about race if she was black not a word, or a lezbo
“You can always tell who the strong
women are.
They are the ones

Hey 👋 WNBA, Be Better… Little Girls are Watching and Listening…
So why doesn’t Aja call up Nike and complain to them? Why do you have to bully a young player?
She's not bullying anyone.
Just No! If Caitlin was black with those stats, I would be watching her, for sure! Wouldn't make any difference to me. I am fascinated by her excellence, and nothing more!
"It's about race" = "It's about jealousy".
Aja wrong and I’m black it’s cc game her game is Must watch tv Aja you ain’t right For saying that shit
You're a hypocrite. You really think if she wasn't a white player she'd have such hype around her, and then she's from Iowa. A'ja's right about the whole line. She hasn't played a game in the league yet but people are already putting her on a pedestal. Despite her stats, she hasn't won the NCAAP, and South Carolina has been ignored to give her any more spotlight. And all the black journalists and influencers who want to make a good impression in the media are praising her even though we haven't seen her prove herself in the league yet; we'll do everything we can to make her ROY even if she didn't deserve it.
@@ephranlandu6433 you coward
Caitlin broke a record. Sit your complaining butt down and be quiet. Stop bashing white women.
Bro what the heck are you talking about? Even in the men's game the #1 pick a lot of time doesn't win a national championship. It's all about the best player. How can you say a black journalist wants to make a good impression based on your feelings of another person? You dudes act like women and it's sad.
If you never seen a player like her then you haven’t been watching the WNBA. There are players better then her.
Bro no body buy Aja jersey they not filling stands the WNBA finals had less views than most of Clark’s games in college last season… Lose the hate and let that girl be.. She has never came out publicly and called out any players in the league she always speaks highly of them and gave them their props..
WNBA needs to do some PR consulting with players. When someone deals in race it can affect their ability to get sponsorships and that’s where the money is.
Definitely about race
Dumb blacks...
Yes, that blacks are jealous that it took a white woman to bring attention to the Wnba, got charter flights , selling out arenas . Instead of being thankful, they are hateful and jealoys.
Nike should cancel that signature shoe deal with Aja if she doesn't shut her big mouth. No one might buy the shoes because the new game don't even know her.
Yeah I’m curious what Nike has to say considering CC is one of their brand ambassadors
They may very well do so if she keeps running her mouth of another player that has a $28,000,000,000 contract, hopefully, they will dump her, and Nike will cancel Aja. Contract
For being the jealous, black, female, racist, democratic. That would be awesome!!
She should be thanking Caitlin Clark for her shoe deal!! What is happening??
I disagree. I never seen a woman in the WNBA play like clark not even a little bit. If there was a woman in the WNBA playing like Steph Curry all this time then I’ll be like OK yeah they have a point there. There is no woman Steph in the WNBA other than Clark
go watch Maya Moore then make that statement
If I was a WNBA player, I would ride the Caitlin Clark train until the wheels fall off!! They will get more money because of renegotiated TV deals, endorsements, exposure and ticket sales. When golfers realized what Tiger did to increase the popularity and prize money, they accepted the fact that he was the face of golf when he was dominant.
Totally Agree
Brianna Stewart, Sue Bird etc? She had a shoe deal before Caitlin but kept quiet when people were calling Nike and Caitlin’s fans racist for not giving A’ja one but she had one for almost 2 years. People are so conniving and use others to further their market roll out and we fall for it. Totally disagree
Maybe Caitlin should have taken Ice Cube's deal. Then it would be same ol' same ol'. Nobody would be talking about the WNBA and the players would still be flying commercial. They act like jealous school girls and not grown women.
A’ja Wilson is full of crap try being a true professional and embrace generational talent black or white because very soon a brand new compensation package is coming for the WNBA!!!!
Only WNBA player I or most people know is CC. It's not about race, her shoe deal is because she moves that needle, who's going to by a shoe of some player nobody knows. The other players should be thanking her, for selling tickets, because no one cared about WNBA before CC.
It’s about race the same way Larry Bird was about race. Race plays a factor in the hype, but they genuinely are that good.
Clark gonna have to cook WNBA teams before they give her the respect.Then they'll believe it's more than just race in my opinion.
You realize that the girls that put gymnastics, tennis on the map are black right? In case you forgot aja Wilson.
She knows, this isn't about race ,it's about her being passed Caitlin got her shoe deal before her and she had to whine and play the race card to get hers. Which it wasn't Caitlins fault she hadn't got hers.
Jealousy and Hate is still real.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Multiple stars in the WNBA? How can you be a star when no one has heard of you!
So now it's about popularity people have never heard of of a lot of players because they don't watch the WNBA. Just watch how these no name players grind up your popular favorite. Caitlin will be popular for something if she don't put in that work and get better skill level don't match her competitions as you are seeing and we'll see as the weeks go by
Inferiority Complex
I guess millions of kids are racists because they are the ones asking for autographs of Caitlin Clark and their parents are also racists because they allow their kids to seek CC’s autograph. Anyway as an Asian living in Mexico I am a racist because began watching women’s basketball when I saw Iowa play in the Big 10 tournament in 2023. I was mesmerized by those pretty eyes which keeps reminding of Esmeralda in the Disney animation Hunchback of Notre Dame. But wait that was Gabbie Marshall not Caitlin Clark. Then I saw the sign Caitlin from the logo and began mesmerized by Caitlin Clarks game and noticed how the stadium was full. Before that my favorite WNBA player was Jidion who bought four tickets to a WNBA game to sleep court side because he had sleep anea and his doctor told him to attend a WNBA game as remedy.
YOUR NUTS LADY!!
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s definitely about race and if you can’t see that your slow.
Only because that's what you wish to see.
Yes. And it the POC's that are causing it.
I don’t think it is about race because she is not the only one new to the WNBA that is making money. It is jealousy and envy in my opinion. It is not her fault she is marketable. At the end of the day sports is a business and no one was watching the WNBA until this class of new players.
U right but ride the wave n enjoy the visibility that she could not make it do. The new wave of women are pretty good need to thx those new women for the eyes they getting l.😊
Hell no. I’m not white or black but Caitlin has that appeal. There are certain people that have it and it’s not about race. I never watched baseball before Ohtani, golf before Tiger, basketball before Jordan
That’s not disrespect, it’s truth. The same praise was given to Larry Bird in the 80s. The difference is, he earned it being a champion. Let her grow and win before given her all this praise. She has done absolutely nothing in the WNBA yet!
except boost ticket sales and merch to numbers never seen before. And brought fans to a decrepit league who needed to be subsidized. The question is what did aja do to grow the league?
Got all teams charted flights, selling out games, games being moved to bigger arenas, something none of the players did before her including the black ones.
The league has been on the rise, she just added to it!! I have been watching the WNBA since 1996, yes their start. So miss me with it’s all Caitlin.
@@myrongailliard1998 ya it was on such a rise that clark joining the fever was able to triple the ticket sales and make them move to larger venues for her games specifically. You missed the sale on common sense it seems.

Caitlin is getting attention because she can play really well and she came with a storyline. Both the LSU and SC saga.
That’s a lie and if that’s the case Reese should be getting just as much attention as Clark! Speak the truth don’t lie! Clark been playing like trash since she came into the Wnba and she’s not even the best player on team since the preseason but she’s still getting talked about when it should be Smith so that tells you it’s about color.
@@LaLa2time If its about race then why aren't the other white girls in the wnba popular like that. Shouldn't Cameron brink be getting major deals and media attention too since she's just as good and white as well? And why are the biggest names in the nba jordan kobe and lebron instead of dirk, nash and kidd. Whenever theres a stand out white talent its racism but when you have popular black athletes its just natural. gotta be a victim.
@@MrArrow54-No, it's just black women being jealous cause it took a White woman to get the Wnba recognized and to make people want to watch sold out games. Also think black women are jealous of all the attention Caitlin gets from the black men of the NBA that they don't get.
She was breaking viewership records before the championship game in 2023 😂
0-4 Period. You need to build a Team around her. She crys to much to the Referee. 😅😅😅
Clark should leave the WNBA and let it go bankrupt and play overseas.
Integrity vs not. Booker T Washington explains a lot about Integrity.
When Aja expressed herself, it was not towards CC. It is more to the decisionmakers at these big companies offering these endorsements.
They can run their business the they want, she should go talk to Fubu or Sean John.
Y’all pumping cc head up but she’s in the real world playing with same people who has been playing better than her for years. Where was their hype. Just like the coach she’s can’t say against her like her other players yall need to stop with cc crap. She’s not a one man show it takes a team. The media is the cause of all this.
Funny it took 1 White woman to get charter flights for all Wnba teams, something black women hadn't accomplished since the Wnba existence.
Fever team had worse record in WNBA with this coach. People complain about coaching.
They have broken records like she has on the NCAA level. No one cares about less athletic looking men running around playing sub par basketball when you can watch the real thing.
Anyone can love Caitlin ❤️she is the embodiment of love and the life that drives us forward
Of course it’s about race Caitlin can’t mess with wilson
Caitlin Clark is a phenomenal player, and her accomplishments speak for themselves. I also believe race does matter when it comes to Madison Avenue and America. WNBA has always had a big-time elite players, a lot of them were African American and were NEVER hypes as much as Caitlin Clark. Caitlin just keeps her head down and continues to ball out.
It is not about race. Its about her play. Fast, beautiful dimes and parking lot bombs! We don't wanna watch lay-ups!!!
Very stupid comment
I think they should be happy the will getting money in their pocket
The girl is not going anywhere just embrace the Woman and the game

CC became the leading scorer in college basketball history (mens and women's) because she makes baskets. Not white baskets or black baskets... Just baskets. All of the other players in the WNBA ( black or white) had the same opportunity to be that guy, but they weren't good enough. And now they want to whine about the attention CC is getting.

Damn straight and it is long pass due that Whites start standing up and start putting it back to them.
Facts
If it was a white player they would be marching.
Aja just put up 30pts and 13 rebounds last night. She has every right to be upset.
Y'all can't seriously think that she's popular because of her skin complexion? 🤦🏾♂️ She playing like 2015 Curry out there
It certainly is about race. How can you be the face of a league before you ever even play a game?
There is a small racial component in that 60% of the US population is white plus the Midwest values and CC's likable nature. Those factors are what I think make CC so hugely popular... there are simply more people who identify with her cultural background.
The sister spoke the truth...deal with it...
Isaiah Thomas said the same thing about Larry Bird, Isiah got critized heavily becuase it was ignorant. We all know you can't get a nickname like "Larry Legend" without being a legend lol
The media is making her bigger than she is. Some of this stuff about charter planes was in the works before she was drafted. They have been bigger stars then her that came in the WNBA but didn’t get this much recognition and I believe this is why the older athletes are on that wait and see mode
They r jeolious of her ability
Instead of enjoying the notoriety and fanfare of the WNBA from CC's arrival, we're seeing maximum jealousy which will cease when all the arenas sell out for Fever home and visiting games.
It will make it worse. Once these jealous athletes see 19,000 fans show up when Caitlin is playing and then the next week their attendance drops back to 7,000. That will be reality being rubbed in their faces.
Americans love its great white hope
Why is it that men praise CC like Stef Curry, LeBron, etc. But the women in the league...
ABOUT LAST SEASON WITH BRIANNA STEWART? I THINK SHE'S RIGHT 👍
they do not understand this
I agree with AJ because nobody else gets any press, there are lots of already Super Stars in the WNBA who have won College Championships and Catilin didn’t even though she’s a great player and broke all kinds of records but even away from home last last night we didn’t get to hear the starting lineup for LasVegas Aces because it was all about CC, I’m not a hater but WNBA has handled this poorly from beginning because they told us The Chicago Sky was going to be televised but it wasn’t and there were hardly any hi lights of other teams because of the CC effect, yes she’s helped bring in more revenue and people who want to see her play but the media have ignored other Players who have Won Back to back Championships because so focused on Catlin, and all the hype about WNBA Flying was not true for all teams, but you better know Catlin Fever team flying
She has been dubbed “🐐” without having actually won anything…anyone who criticizes her or refuses to elevate her to 🐐 status is “hating”…Not even former MVP’s, Champions, Gold Medal winners- women with actual 🐐resumes not allowed to critique the obvious flaws in her game? Sounds like she is only telling the truth…snowflakes don’t like that if it’s not what they want to hear
FACTS that's what I've been saying. Y'all keep calling her the greatest female hooper but she ain't won nothing. And in college nobody played real defense on her. And when they did play defense against her, Raven Johnson had her ass locked up.
Y’all know that’s the two time MVP and champion of the W
A’ja asserting her Black privilege or her bi-racial privilege?
Nobody even knows who she is. And if it wasn’t for CC they would still be flying commercial
Aja should recognize that she didn’t get Nike shoe deal till now because of lack of personal charm (looking or personality) to fans. Will be curious how many shoes she can sell.
She the Great White Hope for female basketball…. The dominant society is compensating her for it too…
If I was the owner of the Aces, I would call Aja Wilson into my office and tell her to, "shut your mouth!" Because of the "white" lady, the WNBA draft had more people watching it than ever before. Games are being moved to larger arenas and are sold out. There is now more attention and talk about the WNBA and what these women are paid. All of the players will benefit from the CC effect.
A’ja Wilson is the best in the league and she’s having a career season
She also didn’t say it’s solely because she white.. she is good it’s like the Eminem effect the market is predominantly white of course people relate more to individuals they have commonality with
If it was about race i would agree with Aja. unfortunately this is not that case. if Caitlen wasnt lighting it up from all the way around that court, i would agree. If Caitlin wasnt pulling some of the fastest step back 3's ive ever seen in the WNBA and college I would agree with Aja. If Caitlin wasnt averaging more assist then teams combined I would agree with Aja. I have to give Caitlin her flowers and her respect. She's a beast on the court and she has killed teams by herself and she's making that felt right now. So this one cant be about race. I do feel were Aja is coming from but Caitlin is just that good.
John I gotta disagree on you on this one, it is about rave, just like when Magic and Larry burden came out. Who won the rookie of the year and who won the Championship butbbors got the rookie of the year because he was the great white hype. When has there been a black player not go this kind of fame. AJA should have gotten when she left S C. Sorry John you missed it this time😊
Aja has some male pattern baldness starting.
Pound for pound the girl can ball she got game real talk that's it.
Not about race at all. Perfect timing for Caitlin Clark. Both women's college and professional basketball were on the rise. Then comes this gal that can shoot long range 3's like no one before and is crushing all these scoring records on the way. With all due respect to Iowa would they have made it to the sweet 16 without her?
So whenever someone says something that involves cc they are in trouble be forreal
No blacks can say whatever want about Whites, it's OK, if Whites say anything about blacks, it racist.
