Most if not all Fever fans were sorry to see Temi go. She’s a great player and a reason to watch her new team. And her insight is striking and admirable.
Finally an intelligent statement from a wnba veteran who is open to seeing the whole picture. Educated enough to vocalize her opinion of the situation in a positive push to grow learn thrive.
Temi, you are an amazing woman! How honest and kind you are. You have the ability to see what is happening in the WNBA and then expressing it honestly. You attempted to empower all players in the WNBA. You are an amazing woman!
@@patlevy9966 perhaps if she decides to step away from basketball she can be part of the front office of the WNBA! They NEED someone with her objectivity and intelligence! For real!!
Temi is a great basketball player, she is a beautiful person and this video should be mandatory to watch by all WNBA players. She makes sense with all the reasons there are haters out there. Good luck on your new team. I will follow your career with them ❤
@lindykowal4345 Right?! When I read your comment I envisioned the wnba players in a high school auditorium watching Temi read this as a mandatory assembly. Just a bunch of rotten kids rolling their eyes at and ignoring her. Because let’s be honest, that’s exactly how these “women” are acting. But they’re too childish and petty to hear the wisdom that Temi speaks because it doesn’t fit their narrative. As much as I wish for everyone to hear her and understand her, some people are just too ignorant and stubborn to listen to a differing point of view let alone to consider and agree. That would be too rational.
As much as I loved watching Temi and Clark’s connection, I also realize that with her being left off the protection list, it allowed the Valkyrie’s to draft her and speak from a platform that’s not associated with the Fever. Thank you Temi, you are truly what this league needs if they are ever going to unite. One last point, Engelbert has to go, she’s a cancer running the narrative of the WNBA. Great example of this is the presentation of the ROTY, trophy.
GOD BLESS TEMI!! after all she did for the fever, the hard work she put in, if any player deserves to be on the fever roster in the coming champion years it is TEMI!!!!
The difference between all the haters and Temi Fagbenle is that she is so much smarter. And that is one of the reasons that Temi leaving the Fever being drafted by Valkrie is a huge loss to the Fever and their fans. It is extremely upsetting to me that she is gone. She is an amazing force on the team.
Remember the Women's Rights Movement? Well this is the Clark Effect Movement! She's trying to uplift women in sports as a whole and not just basketball! She's involved in a project to bring an expansion team to the women's soccer league to a city (forgot which city but that's irrelevent). The bigger picture is she's trying to uplift women sports closer to men's sports. Am I the only who can see this?
@thechister Only one thing to change, it's known as the Caitlin Clark Effect. That got coined in college. Thanks for a great comment anyway!! She needs all of us behind her.
I love Temi and sorry Fever let her go but she deserves more playing time and hopefully she gets it with her new team and her and Kate can be great together.
Fagbenle is totally right and all the jealous lesbian women should just shut up and learn how to be really inclusive and not divisive not hate but love respectfully as Temi Fagbenle has so eloquently said to change the narrative to a positive one. The future of the WNBA hangs in the balance. So thank Caitlin Clark for raising the profile of the WNBA.
The conversation concerning Clark’s contribution, skills and effect on the W, including Fagbenle’s, has nothing to do with your or anyone else’s bigotry. Don’t get it twisted & think or anyone else’s personal bigotry has one damn thing to do with it.
Don't care if it was Fagbenley or someone else who came to speak the TRUTH on the Clark story... But the Analogy of who came in to Turn the Lights On is Perfect... For almost 30 years the WNBA has been playing to candlelights and missing everyone's attention... Now here comes C. Clark and gets the crowds involved, interest on the game that was nearly non existent B-4,, charter flights, Merch sales, TV audiences and practically has a NEW Electrical system installed and suddenly now everyone can actually see where darkness prevailed... So who cares what or Who turned the lights On..? They're ON Now, aren't they?? What if she was Chinese or Russian or Even Mexican..?? But because she's white, good looking and skilled, now the haters, envious and ignored feel threatened... Clark has done for the WNBA what Sheryl Swoops, Aj'a Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu or "et, al.," COULDN'T DO and that's what BURNS THEM ON... Clark is the Massive Giant Wave that has lifted All Boats but don't let other woman see her wearing a better PAIR OF SHOES because they'll jump at her throat... I will never understand women... But The Truth Will Always Be... Women don't need a reason to hate... Any Excuse Will Do...
The black players try to make it sound like this started as an all black league, which is not true. There have been many great white players from the start. So don't start complaining that the league is changing, it is. But it's not the for first time. The biggest problem with the WNBA is in the front office that believes white and black player rivalry is needed to sell tickets when its good play that sells, not drama that goes nowhere.
I Will Be A Fan Of Caitlin Clark Always And The Fever , I Live In New York , I Like The New York Liberty But I Like The Fever A Little More Because Of Caitlin Clark , Men And Women Are Great In Sports Because Of Skill And Talent And Not Because Of White Privilege Or Any Race Privilege , Play Basketball And Win 😊
The problem with her comment was that a lot of people are broke at the moment and aren’t feeling the white privilege. They will get over it. Also CC did not go to the big dollars colleges like a lot of the black players so where is her privilege? Temi is right though and I hope she does well in her new team and a lot of fever fans will be following her.
I just wonder why this drama is all coming back again. I didn't see any single point of what Clark has said on her interview that was wrong. CC just so loved playing in WNBA and lets just applaud her of what she brings into this league.
I wish the Fever would have kept Temi. She's great she's the voice of reason. Wish others spoke as she did, I'll be watching her on her new Team!! Never apologize for the color of your skin!! CC worked for all she has received. She never received anything based on her race!!!
Temi is basically saying that the last thing people should be doing is a "white girls can't ball" hatefest. It shouldn't matter who turns the lights on. Shouldn't the focus be on the fact that the lights are on and we can see at all? Temi is correct about that. Swoopesie-daisy and Auriema and the rest of the haters need to stop. The idiocy that the Time athlete of the year should have been the whole league was stupid. Did they make all of MLB the ROTY instead of just Jackie Robinson? No, they didn't. Did they decide that all of the MLB should be MVP rather than just Ichiro? No. Have you any idea of what the photos would look like, how ridiculous the cover would look if they did that? Or did they really want a cover that would highlight just the 4 or 5 players they want to sell in their old-school lunacy and thereby ignore that Caitlin Clark even existed? That's the statement they really want to make, that it's not Clark that brought the attention to the league, it's something that the league did. This is the same league that effectively authorized paying bounties on flagrant fouls against Clark. That's what they want us to celebrate, their thugocracy. That thugocracy hasn't worked to improve the perception of the league for the last 25 years and more. Why expect it to work now? Auriema is pissed that his UCONNVICT Butches are becoming increasingly irrelevant. Teams that stress the possibility of innovative play are becoming increasingly relevant. Swoopesie-daisy is pissed that the old ways that she made a career on are disappearing. That game is gone. The NBA went through this. They embraced it. They are thriving. The WNBA is fighting it, and they are circling the drain.
Besides my previous comment.......I thought the very same thing..........of HEARING Temi's own words. Some of these "poster folks" seem to think ...we (the readers/listeners)..........need an interpreter.
She would be outstanding as Commish. The league can not and will not progress with this DEI Commish and and her DEI staff. Go Woke & Go Broke. This league is a prime example.
Sad thing is that so many players are filled with Hate that they can't see the good things in front of themselves. Oh poor pity me, I did this , I did that . The spot light is not only on Caitlyn because of her skills and endurance . It's also because of the way she carries herself in respect not only for herself , but also for others. People are tired of the hate that's in the world and wish to just see a good basketball game with great sportsmanship. They want feel joy and not remorse. Give the people a good show that will bring them back and help them to forget their problems even if it's just for a little while. Know that the violence and assaults just reminds people of their hardships. Let people leave with a smile of a great game and it'll make people's lives better and in return it'll bring the revenues up along with feelings of accomplishment.
While I agree with alot of what her message was, for me the reason I didn't watch until cc was that the game play wasn't very good, and that's it. The nba was and is just better. theres only so many hours in a day, so im going to watch a better product no matter what it is. Where are all the women to watch the women's game? If women supported the wnba, then the wnba would be successful. Why doesn't the league address that issue. Instead, they try to guilt it's audience with race baiting and fake outrage about how past players haven't gotten the recognition they deserve because of cc. They live in denial by saying how great the wnba has always been while being subsidized by the nba, still losing millions and having unlikeable and unprofessional coaches, players and ex players getting in front of the camera letting the world see how delusional and unlikeable they are. The problem with cc for them that I see is that cc exposed their game .while there are a few good players, for the most part, cc showed that the skill level isn't there on the whole .that was proved by the full court defense these teams tried to play on her and it still didn't work. This league doesn't seem to realize that people have eyes and ears. For them to tell people something that isn't true when people are watching the same game is insulting to its audience. For example the eye poke on cc. Everyone and their mother say what that player did with her hand and how that was clearly intentional. Yet the player lied about it then put out a video mocking cc about it with cc's own teammate. And the wnba wonders why they lose money every year. It has become a completely disgraceful ,unprofessional, vile league and it shows no signs of changing. I feel bad for the women who have shown class in that league. If cc gets the same treatment on the court as she did last season and gets hurt because of it say goodbye to whatever progress the wnba said its made.
Let’s get this correct: the past WNBA “great players”, the pioneers DIDN’T DESERVE 💩! The market dictates salaries; supply & demand! The rest of the player didn’t have any to OFFER that we, the public, was INTERESTED in BUYING! Clark is at an entirely different level and WE, the public, is interested in BUYING IT! Magic, Bird, Dr J and Jordan OFFERED unmatched talent as does Clark and WE WANT IT! Nobody deserves nothing: YOU HAVE TO EARN IT! All the past “failures “ comparatively speaking, got what they deserve; WE WERE NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT THEY OFFERED!
17/12/24 Shabbat Shalom to All in the chat for this content. YES YES YES WOW WOW Temi Fagbenle got All the points about the Times Article on 🎯 especially where the Market place is concerned. TF did An honest break down of the Times interview even better than PBD and his teams response to Catilin Clark Times interview on Gratitude to Black WNBA Women and also on White privilege. At 22 CC has a lot of integrity CHRIST IS KING 🙏🏾💕
Very well said….. one for all - all for one. This is a league made up of individual teams (departments) that have to work together to make the whole function and excel.
I watch the Fever to watch my favorite player, THE BENTLEY..( Fagbenle ) she's long, has great lines, a brite grill and she can run like the cheeta, with the lite touch of a kitten around the rim !!! I will miss the Bentley
I fogot to mention, on defense she has the tennacity of a lioness protecting her cubs while maintaining the calm cool and collected demeanor of an allstar professional basketball player. I would like to see the younger generation take notice !
Beautifully put miss temi. Maybe the league will have itself a wake up. It's about time the league has a chance to see what management is doing to your league. Why CA Temi see this but the haters cant.
5 star video. Very well written, her points presented were spot on! Finally someone (Temi Fagbenle) breaks down No 22's effect on the business side of the WNBA! It's the whole that counts, not the individual sum of its parts! JWD!
I Applaud Temi for the way that she aproached the issue. She broke it down to a level that everyone can understand the point that she was trying to make, and i can see why the Fever will surely miss her, she is well spoken and well educatedand in my opinion deserved a standing ovation.
The WNBA consists of two camps: woke, half-wit, hateful adolescent children and secondly there are the adults. The adolescent children have been in charge. Englebert needs to resign. The adults in the room need to stand up and direct a new course before it’s too late but there’s too much fear and not enough courage. Good job Temi!
CC is NCAA ALL TIME! ALL TIME leading scorer. Men AND women. Not white privilege....looks more like hard work, dedication, heart of a champion. Hate ALL you want, girl is bulletproof
I really like the content of what you say, but your voice sounds very similar to the voice on other sites, but we never see you, you don’t have a name, & “you” only show footage that other real people have shown and analyzed on their YT channels. It makes me suspicious that you are trying to profit off the work of others and may just be AI.
So no one made a big when Marshall came and took rap to the next level? Should he apologize for him being white? GTFOH nothing everything is about race. Not saying racism is over . People will always judge no matter what race or creed you are
Why are people in the US so hyper focused on race. The day as a country you decide the colour of your skin, your heritage, your religion, your sexuality are not a limitation, have any effect on your potential, and certainly do not have anything to do with your personal value. Everyone is born equal, it's your personal actions, your choices and the effort you make that ensure your value.
Put this lady as the director of the WNBA. She may still be a fantastic player, and it will be a loss to any team having her, but her foresight is far more important to the WNBA at this time in it's life circle
Temi , Caitlin , Kelsey ... some very wise women who see what is real and have spoken out. If the WNBA can just listen to them they will find the direction for Women's Basketball !
I was disappointed not to hear ONE WORD from Fagbenle on this video. Where did you get the thousands of of words from Fagbenle. From others videos. Ai. Where did you hear her talk? 14 minutes of her words and boring video with Caitlin and Chirssy Sides. Where is Temi?
i believe that everything that was pointed out in the video was why the Valkyries selected Temi for their team. See is realistic, outspoken and a great veteran to have on a new team to help bring the players together.
Reasons why so many Fever fans loved all the players not just Clark. They all played like a team. Wish Temi was still there, but will be tuning in to watch her on the west coast. They were smart for so many reasons to pick her up. Her likeability will be a draw
She is careful and actually covered 90%. Let's adress the paid for private plane. The suddenness. No that didn’t just happen. That was negotiated long before, where did the money appear with debt. Of billions,. The plans are supposed from the commissionors? The league is comprised of owners who vote for on fouls, on schedule, players salary's tops, and host of other.. No matter what we think it is. It's money driven. They knew way in advance before Catlin, years head. Have been doing this for decades. They are not stupid. What goes on behind closed door. Why does take some much time to decide best the awards. That statistics are the facts. Behind the curtains on the yellow brick kgolden) road (yellow). We all know something is not right.
Maybe too little, too late. Where was this at the beginning of the season, during the hard core abuse being handed to CC? Where’s everyone else who witnessed it and kept their mouths shut? I’m talking to you, the players. I was one of the potential new viewers, allured by curiosity and admiration of CC’s ability, started to learn about the different players in WNBA. I can’t stand all the stupid drama these women were doing, and the league’s seemingly neglect of their players. I was determined not to let all that BS sway me away from trying out to see if watching and learning more about the WNBA was for me. But CC’s interview just dissolved my resolve and admiration for the league. It’s how she feels and I respect that. I just don’t believe that her “white privilege” is what brought her this far. This is how peer pressure and corporate ideology affects some people. I’ll just stick to watching something else for now. Maybe things will change and I’ll be willing to watch again in the future. For now, not going to subscribe to any channels just to be able to catch a WNBA game. You all blew it.
FOR THE RECORD IF CC WERE THE SAME PLAYER JUST A DIFFERENT COLOR THE CLARK AFFECTS WOULD BE EXACTLY THE SAME SIMPLE AS THAT THE BRUTAL TRUTH WNBA IS BORING AS HELL CC BRINGS THAT NEXT LEVEL INTENSITY AND EXCITEMENT PERIOD POINT BLANK STOP MAKING IT ABOUT ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE ITS NOT WOMEN BASKETBALL ITS WHEN CC PLAYS AND THEN ITS NBA 100% FACTS
temi has literally fled from CC and the first tweet was an incredible attack on CC and especially on the fans these others are just an attempt to repair the damage
I like Clark , but I believe she made it okay for black players and racist referees and league to abuse the white girl !!! She should clarify her statement immediately
There were many truth bombs in her statement but some very unnecessary race references. The white pop privilege myth is just that, a myth. You can recognize the past players without calling out race. The constant references to race just keeps racism alive.
They are seeing the assault brats as well...and they need to go! The world doesn't need to see that! Clark brought goid to a league, the players and they gave her disrespect in return. Shame, I watched Clark, but won't watch wnba now.
I'm tired of these false narratives. I wish that people would stop pushing this idiocy. Why can't it be good enough to just go about their business? I don't understand why people push divisive ideologies.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support!
Most if not all Fever fans were sorry to see Temi go. She’s a great player and a reason to watch her new team. And her insight is striking and admirable.
Temi is a genuine class act, and a top tier player. Sorry to see her leave the Fever.
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION BY TEMI FAGBENLE❤
Finally an intelligent statement from a wnba veteran who is open to seeing the whole picture. Educated enough to vocalize her opinion of the situation in a positive push to grow learn thrive.
Excellent!! Thank you Temi!
Thank you Temi. Thank you for being part of what brings us together as people. Love ya....
Thank you, Temi! We love you and miss you as a Fever player! I will still continue to support you and cheer you on! 💗

Agreed. This is a womens basketball league, not a Black lesbian league.
Sorry not sorry
Agree current commissioner has to go! There is no leadership from her, just division & unsound decision making. Get rid of her!
Temi is the pendulum of history swinging toward reason in this world historical moment.
I loved Timi and i didn't want her to go anywhere
I didn't want to see her go either, but now she will get to play more minutes per game. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
You know I think that she moved to the Valkyrie to HELP Kate!😊
@@mrbert29 Kate and Temi are the beginning of a good culture for Golden State and they will bring fans. I will be one of them watching.
@ same here!
Temi is a Harvard grad she is super smart. Gotta listen to her
What a great woman, what a big heart ❤❤❤
Temi awesome. Love watching her play 🏀
We will miss her as a player and as a person.
GOD BLESS TEMI!! after all she did for the fever, the hard work she put in, if any player deserves to be on the fever roster in the coming champion years it is TEMI!!!!
White made a big mistake keeping Smith over Temi.
Due to her age the fever didn’t think Temi would be selected. Smith is going to get traded and that’s the only reason she was protected.
The difference between all the haters and Temi Fagbenle is that she is so much smarter. And that is one of the reasons that Temi leaving the Fever being drafted by Valkrie is a huge loss to the Fever and their fans. It is extremely upsetting to me that she is gone.

Temi is brilliant!
I hope the Fever get Temi back somehow
I was very disappointed when the Fever lost her. She won't be back but I wish her the best. She's a good person and a great team mate.
The Fever should have protected Fagbenle from the expansion draft in the first place!!
Temi is a real pro!!!

We're all sick of the constant focus on race. Everyone needs to just shut up about it. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT ANYMORE.
I'm going to miss Temi. She is a runner and I love a fast game. Temi is so intelligent.
Temi runs like a gazelle and is very athletic. Fun to watch play.
Temi is an awesome person & player.

Yet the player lied about it then put out a video mocking cc about it with cc's own teammate. And the wnba wonders why they lose money every year. It has become a completely disgraceful ,unprofessional, vile league and it shows no signs of changing. I feel bad for the women who have shown class in that league. If cc gets the same treatment on the court as she did last season and gets hurt because of it say goodbye to whatever progress the wnba said its made.
A very good insight by Temi looking at the big picture, what an athlete with wisdm.
Let’s get this correct: the past WNBA “great players”, the pioneers DIDN’T DESERVE 💩! The market dictates salaries; supply & demand! The rest of the player didn’t have any to OFFER that we, the public, was INTERESTED in BUYING! Clark is at an entirely different level and WE, the public, is interested in BUYING IT! Magic, Bird, Dr J and Jordan OFFERED unmatched talent as does Clark and WE WANT IT! Nobody deserves nothing: YOU HAVE TO EARN IT! All the past “failures “ comparatively speaking, got what they deserve; WE WERE NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT THEY OFFERED!
Well said and completely true!
She's championship material too bad she's gone before the fever gets it
17/12/24 Shabbat Shalom to All in the chat for this content. YES YES YES WOW WOW Temi Fagbenle got All the points about the Times Article on 🎯 especially where the Market place is concerned. TF did An honest break down of the Times interview even better than PBD and his teams response to Catilin Clark Times interview on Gratitude to Black WNBA Women and also on White privilege. At 22 CC has a lot of integrity CHRIST IS KING 🙏🏾💕
Very well said….. one for all - all for one. This is a league made up of individual teams (departments) that have to work together to make the whole function and excel.
I watch the Fever to watch my favorite player, THE BENTLEY..( Fagbenle ) she's long, has great lines, a brite grill and she can run like the cheeta, with the lite touch of a kitten around the rim !!! I will miss the Bentley
Thank you for saying so.......I am in total agreement about this tall graceful lady !!
I fogot to mention, on defense she has the tennacity of a lioness protecting her cubs while maintaining the calm cool
and collected demeanor of an allstar professional basketball player. I would like to see the younger generation take notice !
Beautifully put miss temi. Maybe the league will have itself a wake up. It's about time the league has a chance to see what management is doing to your league. Why CA Temi see this but the haters cant.
Temi is absolutely correct!
She’ll be missed by the Fever fans
Temi Fagbenle bravo
Very disappointed in the fever organization for not keeping her…. Instead, you keep others that had no business staying with the team
Ya'll know all the haters will go after Temi. Claws out
this is fresh air. and so, so needed. thank you from germany
100% RIGHT!!
Thank you, Temi for being real and telling it like it is!!!!
Thanks Temi!! The Fever will miss you!!!❤❤❤❤❤
5 star video. Very well written, her points presented were spot on! Finally someone (Temi Fagbenle) breaks down No 22's effect on the business side of the WNBA! It's the whole that counts, not the individual sum of its parts! JWD!
I never watched the WNBA until CC entered the league. I will follow Temi on her new team. She is very entertaining to watch!
I Applaud Temi for the way that she aproached the issue. She broke it down to a level that everyone can understand the point that she was trying to make, and i can see why the Fever will surely miss her, she is well spoken and well educatedand in my opinion deserved a standing ovation.
Go CC.
It's has nothing to do with RACE...🤣🤣 Yeah. but no ONE can talk about it 🤫with not bring up RACE..🤣🤣
Because Temi there are people who don’t want the patient (racism) to get better! These idiots need to have something to complain about!
The WNBA consists of two camps: woke, half-wit, hateful adolescent children and secondly there are the adults. The adolescent children have been in charge. Englebert needs to resign. The adults in the room need to stand up and direct a new course before it’s too late but there’s too much fear and not enough courage. Good job Temi!
They will lose 100m next year and every team will go bankrupt in 5 years .
CC is NCAA ALL TIME! ALL TIME leading scorer. Men AND women. Not white privilege....looks more like hard work, dedication, heart of a champion. Hate ALL you want, girl is bulletproof
So much wisdom and insight on that team !
The Fever can't go wrong . I think they will break Chicago Bull's records for championships and viewership.
I really like the content of what you say, but your voice sounds very similar to the voice on other sites, but we never see you, you don’t have a name, & “you” only show footage that other real people have shown and analyzed on their YT channels. It makes me suspicious that you are trying to profit off the work of others and may just be AI.
So no one made a big when Marshall came and took rap to the next level? Should he apologize for him being white? GTFOH nothing everything is about race. Not saying racism is over . People will always judge no matter what race or creed you are
Why are people in the US so hyper focused on race. The day as a country you decide the colour of your skin, your heritage, your religion, your sexuality are not a limitation, have any effect on your potential, and certainly do not have anything to do with your personal value. Everyone is born equal, it's your personal actions, your choices and the effort you make that ensure your value.
Caitlin and the Fever, will have to storm the gates. Get ready.
Put this lady as the director of the WNBA. She may still be a fantastic player, and it will be a loss to any team having her, but her foresight is far more important to the WNBA at this time in it's life circle
Temi , Caitlin , Kelsey ... some very wise women who see what is real and have spoken out. If the WNBA can just listen to them they will find the direction for Women's Basketball !
Temi is one of
many, that thanks,about other like they should, not like everything is dog eat dog. Like shelly
I was disappointed not to hear ONE WORD from Fagbenle on this video. Where did you get the thousands of of words from Fagbenle. From others videos. Ai. Where did you hear her talk? 14 minutes of her words and boring video with Caitlin and Chirssy Sides. Where is Temi?
Tami! You are still a Fever? You always will be! You could like help? lol❤
i believe that everything that was pointed out in the video was why the Valkyries selected Temi for their team. See is realistic, outspoken and a great veteran to have on a new team to help bring the players together.
Reasons why so many Fever fans loved all the players not just Clark. They all played like a team. Wish Temi was still there, but will be tuning in to watch her on the west coast. They were smart for so many reasons to pick her up. Her likeability will be a draw
How can you not love Temi.
CCBA 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
She is careful and actually covered 90%. Let's adress the paid for private plane. The suddenness. No that didn’t just happen. That was negotiated long before, where did the money appear with debt. Of billions,. The plans are supposed from the commissionors? The league is comprised of owners who vote for on fouls, on schedule, players salary's tops, and host of other.. No matter what we think it is. It's money driven. They knew way in advance before Catlin, years head. Have been doing this for decades. They are not stupid. What goes on behind closed door. Why does take some much time to decide best the awards. That statistics are the facts. Behind the curtains on the yellow brick kgolden) road (yellow). We all know something is not right.
Maybe too little, too late. Where was this at the beginning of the season, during the hard core abuse being handed to CC? Where’s everyone else who witnessed it and kept their mouths shut? I’m talking to you, the players. I was one of the potential new viewers, allured by curiosity and admiration of CC’s ability, started to learn about the different players in WNBA. I can’t stand all the stupid drama these women were doing, and the league’s seemingly neglect of their players. I was determined not to let all that BS sway me away from trying out to see if watching and learning more about the WNBA was for me. But CC’s interview just dissolved my resolve and admiration for the league. It’s how she feels and I respect that. I just don’t believe that her “white privilege” is what brought her this far. This is how peer pressure and corporate ideology affects some people. I’ll just stick to watching something else for now. Maybe things will change and I’ll be willing to watch again in the future. For now, not going to subscribe to any channels just to be able to catch a WNBA game. You all blew it.
Temi is a class act! Wish she was still with the Fever
Temi is a grear ball player, but even better person!
FOR THE RECORD IF CC WERE THE SAME PLAYER JUST A DIFFERENT COLOR THE CLARK AFFECTS WOULD BE EXACTLY THE SAME SIMPLE AS THAT THE BRUTAL TRUTH WNBA IS BORING AS HELL CC BRINGS THAT NEXT LEVEL INTENSITY AND EXCITEMENT PERIOD POINT BLANK STOP MAKING IT ABOUT ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE ITS NOT WOMEN BASKETBALL ITS WHEN CC PLAYS AND THEN ITS NBA 100% FACTS
temi has literally fled from CC and the first tweet was an incredible attack on CC and especially on the fans these others are just an attempt to repair the damage
Would Temi go back to the fever if the fever traded Smith for her....
I like Clark , but I believe she made it okay for black players and racist referees and league to abuse the white girl !!! She should clarify her statement immediately
A'ja Wilson jumped out of her shoes.
She needs new shoes.
Nike?
Are you there?
There were many truth bombs in her statement but some very unnecessary race references. The white pop privilege myth is just that, a myth. You can recognize the past players without calling out race. The constant references to race just keeps racism alive.
I hate the wnba.. I hope Caitlin tells them to shove it and goes to the PGA.
They are seeing the assault brats as well...and they need to go! The world doesn't need to see that!
Clark brought goid to a league, the players and they gave her disrespect in return. Shame, I watched Clark, but won't watch wnba now.
God Bless you Temi
I'm tired of these false narratives. I wish that people would stop pushing this idiocy. Why can't it be good enough to just go about their business?
I don't understand why people push divisive ideologies.
