Now you see why most people don't watch the WNBA? The WNBA hates and can't even support another female! As it is, the WNBA hates the NBA, yet it is the NBA that keeps their season alive? If it was a BLACK female athlete playing for Iowa, at age 25, taking 40 shots a game and had an extra year, because of Covid (which this isn't the case) Sheryl would most likely be supporting her and giving her praise? But because Caitlin is WHITE ( Let's not kid ourselves here) as a BLACK RACIST person ( Sheryl), can't stand it that a WHITE person is going to break the All-Time college record ( In less games I might add), but is on the course of setting the All-time WNBA scoring record and maybe a few other titles as well? Let's Go Caitlin!!!
There was a gal who played 6 on 6 Iowa basketball back in the 60's. Her name was Denise Long. Scored a hundred points quite a few times. Had a tryout with the SF Warriors. (I think she was drafted).
I beg to differ, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i happen to think Cheryl Miller was the best College woman player ever, because she never played pro, due to her knee problems. and Miller have the resume to back it up, Caitlin Clark is phenomenal, but she have no championship rings on any level, and until she do, that will always be a mark against her.
@@HannahDisponett I never said it was, but when the great ones that never won a championship , always have that adverb behind their accomplishment, : BUT : and the great ones will tell theirself, they would give back those individual awards for at least 1 championship, that's why they play the sport, its the finale goal of every athlete, and you can take this to the bank, C. Clark would take a National Championship any year over a scoring title, if not, that would be selfish, don't get me wrong, i enjoy watching her shoot those 3s from the logo like anybody else, i am just stating facts about sports.
What really saddens me is if any black players attack this girl verbally or physically or both they’re not gonna get reprimanded because they’re black I’m sorry to be so blunt but I gotta keep it real.
What racism did the Rutgers and LSU players level at Caitlin Clark? Clark did the "you can't see me." Reese did the "put a ring on it." Clark dismissed Raven Johnson in the Iowa/S. Carolina game and the LSU players said it was disrespectful. What racism are you remembering?
By not welcoming 'carbine Caitlin' into the fold, the black and lesbian players will destroy this opportunity to bring more interest and more fans to the WNBA. More interest and more fans means more money which is something the players of this failed league are always crying about.
But these are women, who, when jealous or hateful, tend to turn to character assassination. So relative to dealing with Caitlin, expect to see some of the players' egos overwhelm any common sense.
One of the very few players that can really resurrect the WNBA and they are hating on her. A stack of lies and misinformation from Sheryl and a willing participant in Gilbert. They are definitely not prejudiced 😂. You go Cait!
Imagine the outrage if a white woman was to wear a shirt that said female, fearless, and white. Double standards and separating yourself with wearing a shirt that says what color you are is only ok for blacks? I’m white and I’m not insecure about what color I am but if I wanted to I should be able to wear a shirt that compliments my race. These people are so insecure that they have to wear a shirt that says their color/race? Everyone should be able to do it. Separation is the reason why there will always be racism. It’s a natural born instinct. We are tribal and if it’s not ok for one race then why tf do you think it’s ok for you? The answer is that it should be ok for everyone
Just the natural order of things ! Right ? Look it up ,oh by the way have white people have ever been slaves here or have race played against them,like your doing here 😳🤯
@ronm I only saw a group of 4 women wearing them but loved it. I didn't have the ability of pausing to get a picture of it, but it made it to facebook. Hilarious!!
@@HannahDisponett You saw the interview with her didn't you? After that, there are 3 guys who tear apart her responses about Caitlin one by one, pretty much crucifying her, and she deserves every bit of it. Part of the time I want to laugh at her ignorance, and part of me wants to be angry at her lies/or lack of knowledge. She should come out with an apology of some sort but I doubt she ever does. Nebraska at noon today on Fox.
@@survivrs, I watched some of it but she was making me so mad I had to stop. I'm from KY and Sheryl and another lady were commentating the women's game against Auburn on Thursday...when the other commentator misspoke then apologized and asked Sheryl if she ever made a mistake and Swoopes' reply was "Yeah." I thought that would have opened the door for her to apologize but she didn't.
To break a record in the same amount of time? Okay using that logic, the Babe's HR record still stands. Ruth has about 483 less at bats than Bonds and 795 less at bats than Aaron.
...last year, the ONLY reason I tuned in to watch the final, (not finals) was Caitlin Clark. A women's college basketball game! I might (probably not) follow her to the WNBA. The extra money she potentially could bring to the WNBA is the main reason other women should support her.
@@itzakehrenberg3449 yeah even if what Swoops was saying was true, it would still be wrong lol. And it’s not close to true in like 7 different ways. Swoops is either just racist or really, really stupid. Or both
this is Caitlin 4th yr and shes only 22! get ur fact right if u wanna criticize the girl! Swoops, ur whats wrong with the WNBA! ITS A JOKE 😂... CAITLIN will make more money in college and with endorsement, than wnba can afford. now take seat!
In the game Pete scored 68 on the Knicks, his last two personal fouls were bogus offensive fouls, the last one on a made basket. Pete faced a lot of hostility from his own teammates even though nobody ever lit him up, had the fastest hands in the known universe and was the ultimate team player. Very few people can or did grasp how great he was: Red Auerbach a notible exception.
I appreciate you guys being open to talking about these issues with us. Media outlets will not even touch on these issues because it doesnt suit the woke agenda.
The WNBA was basically started around Sheryl Swoopes. She was the first player signed into the WNBA. She was considered to be the "Michael Jordan" of the WNBA. He praised as such. She had her own shoe brand. She remained poor while Jordan became a billionaire. Sheryl came into the league as a normal person. She had won the national championship while at TTU. Having scored 46 in the championship game. She was very humble in college. While in the league, she married and had a son. She has won 3 Olympic gold medals, the WNBA multiple times and other championships. And dozens of WNBA awards. She was always classy and respectful. The culture of the left can get you when you are still poor and opportunities are few, though you were the basketball player for over 10 years. Times may have changed her, it has been a rough road. The Sheryl Swoopes of the 90's were pure class.
Luka had the same thing when he came over. People really didn't know how good he was, but it didn't take long. Ballers know ballers... If she is as good as she has been in the college game, they should respect that skill, but you never know in advance. And women can make another wrinkle on top of everything here too. Men are more goal oriented and winning cures all ailments... It will be interesting to see how her journey goes on the next level.
What is most alarming is the double standard. If all the colors were reversed this podcast wouldn't happen; couldn't happen. Hate in either direction is wrong but apparently when its blacks hating on whitey; well then it's OK. This blatant double standard needs to end! They always talk about how important history is but then proceed to repeat it with the colors reversed.
At lease she got the numbers right once… “it’s a 2 part” question/answer. Everything else was just wrong. And Gilbert is just agreeing. Haters hate especially when they’re wrong and on the losing side lol. 😂 You go Cait!
Im a huge Maryland being from Maryland but Im a huge Caitlin Clark fan because she doesnt flaunt her game. She just plays and so down to earth. Love the girl and I hope she breaks the record tomorrow.
Add to this that Clark has been nothing other than respectful and stayed out of these narratives. She is likely appalled about the "Don't be a Sheryl" shirts at Iowa now. She just wants to play.
Clark had an off night the other night against Penn State scoring only 27 points. However, she made 15 assists, most (if not all) going to a black player underneath who scored 40 points. Despicable to think that a white, non gay women would be discriminated against by the league for not being lesbian. It would be equally bad to discriminate against a lesbian player. If she is discriminated against, it will destroy the WNBA. We've already seen in this video the misinformation provided by Sheryl Swoopes. I understand there is already a huge negative reaction to the comments made by Ms. Swoopes. I think we will know shortly whether the lesbian charge is going stick. I watch Candace Parker on a regular basis and think she is one of the best "studio" announcers I've seen. Male or female. Her potential for growth in that field is tremendous. If there is going to be discrimination you'll hear or see about it from her. As to the impact of Covid on sports, the Covid era has impacted most every student in America. Not just Athletes. I have several nieces right now either in college athletics or going in next fall - in part due to the sometimes lengthened education cycle. I also have a former world class niece who owns her own training facility for both male and female athletes. In addition, I have two academically brilliant nieces who don't play athletics and they have all been hurt by Covid. I hear it from them all the time. Disruption in the classroom and uncertainty about the future. Their careers have been put on hold and they are worried about the non interactive education they are being given. It would be a huge mistake to use Covid to condemn a student for having an extended period of time in school. In fact, they ought to be helping the students deal with the situation. You can bet that most every parent of a student in American knows the problem. As to Ms. Swoops, her time in college and age was about equal to Clark's. She had far more advantages than Clark by having been able to participate in events that shaped her career and that were cancelled by Covid. Born in 1971, her first year in the WNBA was reported to be 1997. What goes around comes around.
What surprises me is that CC has accomplished a milestone. Even though Pistol never had the adv of a 3-point line. Still a great achievement. If you listen to the announcers during a game, seldom do you hear them say a Caucasian person is a great athlete. It usually is attached to a person of color, why? I personally have heard blk players ask the same question. Does it not get to the point that many black players feel they are better than others because they are blk? The ones I have heard comment have complained about this stigma being attached to them. If a player is good, they are good no race or ethnicity has an advantage.
The reason why i do not respect arenas, he allowed swoopes to spew brazen lies, falsehoods, and nonsense without stopping her, correcting her, and countering her false narratives with facts in his own platform...swoopes, with her being fired from loyola has no credibility at all..
@15:25, I chanced watching Clark's highlights on youtube, and made me a fan, and watches Women's BBall when Clark is playing... and i'm not white and grew up watching MJ and the Bulls.
Larry Bird was a cocky A-1 trash talker who could back it up. Hence the almost immediate respect he garnered. Caitlin Clark, if she's Larry Bird good, and she very well may be, might have to seriously consider following his lead.
Everybody thinks I'm crazy... BUT... CC would be better off in the NBA. She can hit 3's from the parking lot. She can guarantee you 18 points a game. Today's rules, you can't touch her without it being called a foul; and at minimum BECAUSE she's a woman will get those fouls called for at least the first 3 years. PLUS... butts in seats, jersey sales, and you're on sports center every single night; for at least 2 years. She wants to promote women's sports? How better than win a ring on a MENS team?? IF I was Mark Cuban, I would have already had a conversation asking if she was willing to go through that...
Would love to be her agent. Message to a team drafting her in addition to opening the vault, the head coach and GM will not allow it to happen internally. If it does she has an out to leave the team and will still be due the full amount of her contract
I was fact checking along with that one gentleman and he was right...Swoopes was clearly not stating the truth. Here's why Clark will get the ball in the WNBA....she will sell tickets, which is what is completely lacking in WNBA.
Caitlin also averages over 9.3 Assists per Game. Her teammates are involved as she sees the entire court. Why does Sheryl have to downplay what Caitlin has achieved? Guess she is jealous that more folks watched LSU vs. Iowa last year than any WNBA game.
She will be just like Larry Bird yall. She will walk in and maybe get attitude by her teammates.....for about a day. Once they see she can hoop, and lift them all up, the Indiana Fever will be team Caitlin about day 2
Swoopes states that Caitlin “will” be great after her adjustment period. She also states that Caitlin can shoot , and that Angel Reese will have a tougher time adjusting to the wnba than Caitlin will. One of the few things I hate about the United States is that we make everything about race.
I just found this channel. How refreshing to see the wnba talked about honestly. Sheryl Swoops is a sad example of a professional athlete and commentator. Get your facts straight Cheryl, be professional and do some studying about people you are going to be commenting on.
Dowling Catholic…. WDM, Iowa….. Oh guys…… That’s where Bobby Hanson was from….. ‘member him..??? Played with Jordan in the 3-Pete. Right.? She is a great competitor and deserves to be recognized. She was a GREAT HS ball player….. go look up her stats…. she IS… ‘The Real Deal..!!!!’
David Connelly the LSU/Iowa game. The hand gesture both players did the same thing. That was a stretch. But I do believe there is a level of jealousy aimed at her. They may wanna chill cause she may be the one to save that league Cause right now the WNBA can’t afford her
Who watches the WNBA? 534,000 people watched the finals - take away their family and friends, then who actually watches? (versus 12 million for the NBA - which is horrible for the NBA compared to the Jordan years)
Wow blacks being racist !! No it can’t be cause they keep saying blacks can’t be racist
Of course black people can be racist. Look at Jason Whitlock
...you need to capitalize those words.
Most of the racism I see these days comes from black people… it’s quite sad.
We all know, they are the true racist..
That's just something black racist people say, because they know they racist
Sheryl Swoopes sure showed her ignorance. Caitlyn is 22, and takes under 20 shots a game, and has played for four years, not five or six.
Now you see why most people don't watch the WNBA? The WNBA hates and can't even support another female! As it is, the WNBA hates the NBA, yet it is the NBA that keeps their season alive?

Female and Fearless Is Caitlin Clark While Black Is The Color Of Sheryl Swoopes Heart.
She is possibly the greatest ladies college player ever. Jealousy wont change that.

I remember the racism leveled at her by the Rutgers and LSU players last year. The media seemed to be ok with it.
They are OK with it because it’s a “reparation “ for the racism and slavery of blacks.
I live in NJ where no one decent sends their kid to Rutgers because it’s a racist institution.

GREAT video - thanks for connecting the dots
I was at LSU when Pete came to LSU. Its was amazing.
Who really cares indoor lacrosse draws more fans than the WNBA. This Swoopes person is she a player in the WNBA?
She was and she was Caitlin’s hero growing up.
Perhaps she should play overseas rather than in the WNBA. She may be more readily accepted. It appears that the WNBA doesn’t really want her.
According to Swoops logic almost all of LeBron's records shouldn't count because of his longevity.
Add to this that Clark has been nothing other than respectful and stayed out of these narratives. She is likely appalled about the "Don't be a Sheryl" shirts at Iowa now. She just wants to play.
Like the spat wit Angel Reese who is total scum right now.
a lesbian Christian is an oxymoron
Smells like jealousy and ignorance to me. Someone tell Swoopes she doesn't play anymore. Take off the tear away warm up pants.
Oh my gosh! will the name "Sheryl" overpower the almighty "Karen"?!? 😂
What if Caitlin goes total woke to fit in?
She hasnt yet and I dont think she will. Not a big city girl.

PLUS... butts in seats, jersey sales, and you're on sports center every single night; for at least 2 years. She wants to promote women's sports? How better than win a ring on a MENS team?? IF I was Mark Cuban, I would have already had a conversation asking if she was willing to go through that...
An proficient athlete that is destined for fame✌🏽 , to be confronted and harassed for her ethnicity , is a disgusting shame .
Excuses are like buttholes…everybody has one. Ridiculous arguments.
My great uncle used to say this same thing about buttholes...except he said opinions and not excuses.
There’s no such thing as reverse racism, just racism
I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest Clark fan, but when Whitlock fact checked Swoops, I now have the opinion Swoops is on the same level as KPerkins😂😂😂
Would love to be her agent. Message to a team drafting her in addition to opening the vault, the head coach and GM will not allow it to happen internally. If it does she has an out to leave the team and will still be due the full amount of her contract
I was fact checking along with that one gentleman and he was right...Swoopes was clearly not stating the truth. Here's why Clark will get the ball in the WNBA....she will sell tickets, which is what is completely lacking in WNBA.
Caitlin also averages over 9.3 Assists per Game. Her teammates are involved as she sees the entire court. Why does Sheryl have to downplay what Caitlin has achieved? Guess she is jealous that more folks watched LSU vs. Iowa last year than any WNBA game.
Sometimes chocolate pudding doesn’t want any white marshmallows.
Being petty, juvenile, immature,and jealous will never change what CC has done. Pathetic behavior.
She's from Iowa and she will be fine. She has nothing to hide and she is physically and mentally tuff.
Caitlin Clark probably gets pump when space jam is being played in their own locker room and practices at Iowa lol
She will be just like Larry Bird yall. She will walk in and maybe get attitude by her teammates.....for about a day. Once they see she can hoop, and lift them all up, the Indiana Fever will be team Caitlin about day 2
AB is a real one and will be more than happy to ball out with her.
Ha. No way. Women are catty and miserable.
I may actually watch a wnba game when she comes into their league.
Her rationale is pitiful.
~Clark's 25? Stop lying.
~Clark's shooting a lot? One more attempt per game than Plum on her career.
Her heart attitude is one of the biggest dividers in this country. Learned it from BO and was reinforced by Kendrick Perkins. Disgusting.
Swoopes states that Caitlin “will” be great after her adjustment period.
She also states that Caitlin can shoot , and that Angel Reese will have a tougher time adjusting to the wnba than Caitlin will.
One of the few things I hate about the United States is that we make everything about race.
Wrong. She’s only 22 and she’s played several games less than the current record holder.
How out of touch is Sheryl Swoopes? Three weeks later, she sees herself as the victim in all of this.
Larry Bird suffered the same prejudice because blacks saw the NBA as theirs.
I'm Male, Fearless & White
I just found this channel. How refreshing to see the wnba talked about honestly. Sheryl Swoops is a sad example of a professional athlete and commentator. Get your facts straight Cheryl, be professional and do some studying about people you are going to be commenting on.
Once Clark establishes her game in the WNBA, she will have a powerful voice as to who coaches her and who plays with her.
Dowling Catholic…. WDM, Iowa…..
Oh guys……
That’s where Bobby Hanson was from…..
‘member him..???
Played with Jordan in the 3-Pete.
Right.?
She is a great competitor and deserves to be recognized.
She was a GREAT HS ball player…..
go look up her stats….
she IS… ‘The Real Deal..!!!!’
David Connelly the LSU/Iowa game. The hand gesture both players did the same thing. That was a stretch. But I do believe there is a level of jealousy aimed at her. They may wanna chill cause she may be the one to save that league Cause right now the WNBA can’t afford her
DO NOT underestimate CC! She is tuffer in all ways than any of you know!
It took Hank Aaron over 1000 at bats to beat Babe Ruth’s all time HR record and I acknowledge Aaron as the all time hr champion.
go look at ESPN's top womens player list. it's 6'0 Clark at 1, then not a single woman below her shorter than 7'
sounds like we are having a convo about jackie Robinson.
Caitlin has played 100 college games Kelsey played 139
watch a Russian womens basketball club offer Catlin 3million to come to Russia,
Who watches the WNBA? 534,000 people watched the finals - take away their family and friends, then who actually watches? (versus 12 million for the NBA - which is horrible for the NBA compared to the Jordan years)
Clark is going to get the Rick Mount treatment in the WNBA. She will be lucky to get a pass. She will be frozen out.
Clark says she models part of her game after Pistol Pete . . .
I cannot believe how racist Swoopes is
Whoever she plays for, I'll root for.
Caitlin Clark should say FWNBA. She's making more money now in college, than she would as a dump diver (BehindtheLine)
imagine we switched the races. this vid would have gotten 10m views and would be on every news network
Some people need to make excuses for their egos and pride
Gilbert's platform is definitely got alot of b/s and bias.
If Caitlin was black.....
Nothing but facts!
