@@prettybrownbrown7 14/3/3 on 30% which is basically numbers for the average wnba player 2 games in lol. They are jealous of the attention and money. In one Nike deal Clarke's gonna make more money than the entire league. It rubs people the wrong way especially those who believe they were better and never got any shine
@@Andy_Babb Cameron Brink looked really good. She must be on a better team. Hopefully the new draftees take over and the league transitions. Next season they can cut the veterans and go with more draftees. Rebuild the league with modern basketball.
Here’s the thing, you see the women ballers insulting her, downplaying her skills and numerous broken records, and snubbing her and physically attacking her on the court. The male players, who have skills that make the wnba look like a league of quadriplegics by comparison, call her the greatest player the wnba has had possibly in their history. I’ll defer to the men’s expertise in skills rather than the petty jealousy of old women.
It's mostly the older players but some classic players like Nancy Lieberman completely support her. Most players from the younger generation are on board. I think what Taurasi said wasn't a diss, she was just saying she's going to have a period of adjustment, which she has.
1. She is white. 2. She is straight. 3. She got very good grades and is well spoken. 4. She handles herself like an adult. Any of these would be enough for haters. All of these attributes together cause the haters to flip out.
One month later, Caitlin Clark has brought an immediate and tangible impact to the WNBA in terms of record attendance and viewerships. It’s a shame that the established WNBA veterans have refused to acknowledge what is changing. The WNBA’s biggest problem is they don’t realize how big a problem they have. The WNBA has yet to be truly profitable and these old heads don’t realize how much benefit Caitlin Clark will bring to the league. NBA players have recognized the impact Caitlin Clark can have because the NBA is a truly competitive league where the old veterans have to keep improving their game to stay relevant. The WNBA is an old players club who refuses to acknowledge forward progress in the game.
I agree with you but it's not that they haven't become fully profitable they've lost money every year of their existence. If the WNBA had a stand on its own two feet financially the league would have to be a lot more cognizant of the image they project to the world. So far the s*** directed at Calvin Clark has just confirmed the reasons that I don't watch the WNBA. By the way if they were a men's league that have gone out of business after 10 years of not making any money just like countless male sports leagues have folded in the past. Is there an artificial creation
I watched a few minutes of Sports Center about Clark's first pre season game and what I saw was Clark hustling all over the court and the lazy slob "pro" WNBA players dragging their tongues trying to keep up. The WNBA players live in their bubble where all they do is complain. Now they're going to have to play basketball. Clark will embarrass many of them. That's why the WNBA players hate her ...
@@dandelo4666 Her team isnt doing well, and she has been very hit or miss so far. That's not to say she still doesnt have potential and skill still. Just hasnt been as consistent as she was in college
@@zacharybaihu7584 sounds about right to me as an outsider. It kind of goes against the narrative because there is so much hype about her thats why your comment made me curious.
The WNBA players still don't realize that through their lack of exciting play, they've been largely unprofitable since its inception. CC is bringing an excitement that can finally get these women paid! After all, a rising tide lifts all ships.
I would add an addition to the poor play their attitude and the image they projected the world make some unlovable. I've been a big fan of a woman's college game for nearly 30 years but I just won't watch the WNBA.
@@yopp2k my iq is over 150... and there is nothing wrong with my reading skils... I read my first complete novel when I was 9... it was Johnny tremain...
I never really played that much attention to woman basketball with Caitlyn. Clark have me watching full woman basketball games. It’s a beautiful thing.
I dont dont get it. Taurasi straight out lied. Clark is not playing against of 18 yr olds. Sure there is some 18 yr old freshman. But since NCAA women Basketball players play 4 yrs most there are plenty of Jr. And Senior players in there 20s. That Clark played against night in and night out since she was a freshmen up to her Senior year. I would love to see the average age players that Taurasi played against in her FOUR YEARS
Diana's points are valid for sure. It's just the total disdain in her delivery that makes it seem more personal than MAYBE it is. We also have to understand that college is a cult, and Taurasi was in Cultville, UConn, so again, when referencing Paige, the favoritism towards the UConn connection shows up in Taurasi's voice, meaning that if Paige played for Iowa and Clark played for UConn, Taurasi's comments would be completely reversed even though she would have been speaking about the exact same players. (A big part of it may not be related to the Caitlin/Paige debate, but rather the UConn vs non-UConn angle.) Peer pressure from her UConn connection, whether real or perceived, I'm sure has an effect on how she views, and vocally translates those views on audio/video, referring to the non-UConn star Clark and the UConn star Paige. Some people just are perceived as abrasive even though they may not be as abrasive as they come across to the masses.
@@qt3dot14ish No way!!! Tarausi straight up is so afraid Of Clark. As she will be better and she not from Uconn. And she is not gay. ( thats just a fact so I do not want anyone to be upset about my statement)
Even before clarkmania hit, the wnba seemed to have a culture problem. Toxic attitudes seem to be widespread. In the NBA you have guys that are great people and some who are jerks. Are there nice, decent women who are stars in the wnba? Serious question. US women's soccer used to have a real relatable group that people loved. They destroyed that.
You are absolutely right about US Women’s Soccer. Back in ‘08, I ran into the team when they were visiting the DMZ in Korea. They were incredible and great ambassadors for the sport and the US everywhere they went! Both the US and Korean media were following them everywhere and they were front page news! Flash forward just 5 years and all that goodwill started to disappear when you know who showed up…
I would have loved Caitlin Clark to have responded like this. "As it is clear that the players of the WNBA do not see me as deserving of the attention and money I have been offered. So to satisfy the WNBA players I have accepted Ice Cubes offer and will not be signing for the WNBA. I hope that the money they save, the attention and the viewing figures that they gain from my exclusion will satisfy those who have an issue with me playing in the WNBA. I'll just have to scrape by with the $5 million from Ice Cube and hope that by not playing in the WNBA, the women will get the money, attention and popularity they demand"
I would love that for her just to show them how valuable the actual FANS see her!!! But only after her first season so there could be actual context to compare. The owners of those teams would be putting league wide memos out for all the players to STFU!!! lol
Social injustice is tearing up our culture community and finally we got a new WNBA star that's changing the way the game should be played and current and former WNBA players better get used to it because she's here to stay and WNBA players better get over it. It shouldn't be about jealousy or envy because she's not better than what you think due to your envious lifestyle, It's all about keeping the game real so fans can enjoy the game of professional sports. Period.
She will disappear, yes she will give you points here and there but them turnovers are at a historic level, not racism just truth about the mediocre yt person getting hype praised upon them when they aren't that good,
@@fredhamptongunclub8074 Yes Racism, since only Candace Parker and Sabrina Ionescu had as many points and assists in their first 7 games as Caitlin. Caitlin's P.E.R. , how the NBA rates player effectiveness, has her 15th out of 144 WNBA players, and 35 spots ahead of the next rookie. The Turnovers have come down and will continue to do so. Also, ROY is determined by PER, not votes, so Caitlin will win that by a mile. And she is the biggest draw by many magnitudes, making the league more money than they ever dreamed. But keep on hoping.
@@walterdavies2984 She is on her way to ROY, will earn over 10 million dollars in sponsorship, and is the reason the players now can fly charter and get some recognition. Or, she can go play in Europe, and half the league has to continue working jobs in the off-season. Ya'll are SO DUMB.
Caitlin has an insane workout schedule. She may have some adjustments to the WNBA but Clark hates to lose. She'll work harder. She has natural talent but worked hard on her game. Shes a decent person. When a local food patry offered her money to be a spokesperson for the food bank she turned down the money and did it for free. This is a really decent person and Im tired of listening to what is beginning to sound like pettiness and jealousy in the criticism. Good grief if LeBron James and Steph Curry think shes the real deal who are these people?
Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned, for 25yrs wnba had been ignored now comes CC with all the accolades and financial bonanza……..envy to the max for wnba veterans😂😂
She's not just the best in her class by far, she's the best women's basketball player period. I have never seen a girl ever play like Caitlin does. Unless she gets hit by a truck she will be the GOAT of women's basketball.
@@othellosson1621 Did you ever hear of the Indiana State team that was beaten by Michigan and Magic Johnson in the NCAA finals? A guy named Larry Bird played for the losing team.
She IS the next Jordan! She is the best athlete in world history! She is god! WORSHIP HER!!! She deserves millions before her first season while the other WNBA players get nothing!!! Are you trying to get us lynched?
They’ll all be thanking her when their salaries start rising. Because she’s gunna bring a lot more viewers to the game. Something they couldn’t do in 20-plus years
@petloves1 1 day. Can we go 1 day without race baiting? Out of all the enormous black NBA players and all the black athletes in general, can we just let this go and enjoy the fact the WNBA actually has eyes on it at all now?
Because the older wanna players been stuck in a toxic ways and killing the game for the last 25 years, the new generation is here to actually grow the game it about damn time
I know. When that player was locked up in Russia, I was like, Okay. She deserves it. Now, don't get mad. I wouldn't want any American to be in a Russian prison.
What they're not understanding, is the NBA went through similar times when it was first created!! It took time for them to grow into the monster it is!!
They will get more money when people watch but the wnba players are screwing that up someone needs to sit them down and tell them the golden goose just showed up so sit down and shut up
There is no explaining this to grown adults if they already don't understand it. That's one of the problems in America, we always think we can rationally explain things to stupid people. Ego and irrational emotions can supersede the money issue.
@@qt3dot14ish We just want an explanation of why the black girls that beat Kaitlyn in 2 championships don’t get to be the game changer. Why don’t they land the first ever million dollar endorsements for WNBA. Why don’t they get covered in PRADA for the draft. Just answer the question, honestly.
where are her teammates and coaches, how come not one of them came to back her up, not one of them came to help her or back her up in every sport NBA NFL they protect their stars... ...that's wrong, who doesn't protect their star ....wow !!! the hate is large
1. She’s white, 2. She’s straight, those two things are why nobody around her is backing her. So much for judging somebody based on the content of their character…
Because some players they wanted to grow, but they wanted to grow in their toxic ways and they haven’t worked in 25 years and they still think they’re toxic ways should grow the game
Bottom line is the wnba players are pissed that this white girl has came in there and did what they couldn't. She needs to be recognized as the first white girl to make the wnba noticed.
Doesn't matter what the other girls think. She's getting these offers because she can shoot better than most of the men's league while generally watching womens basketball is constantly watching the ball bounce off the rim. She's fun and exciting to watch when watching most of the women/teams in the league feels like watching highschool basketball.
I have learned more about basketball in the past 2 weeks than I have my entire life and is it because Caitlin Clark? Yes, but did I also manage to discover other players and learned more about the game in time? Yes. But I would have not be bothered to do all of this had it not been me coming across Clark’s buzzer beater shot against Indiana in 2022-2023 season. Isn’t that what you want though? A positive domino effect? You may not be the cause of the effect, but you WILL profit off of it as well. Take advantage of it instead of whining because the spotlight isn’t on you. The cold hard truth is that Caitlin Clark is the current face of demand and that’s something that can’t be helped. She didn’t ask for it, the girl was chosen by demand.
The WNBA owes Bill Burr a thank you. Him calling them out forced the league and sports broadcasters to take itself more seriously. I honestly love to see it, and it's sister league in the PWHL. Women's sport is absolutely awesome to watch for different reasons than men's sports. And like it or not, all this attention in the last 2-3 years might not happen without Bill Burr calling them out.
Thinking of it from a WNBA players mindset it's pretty annoying tbh. Imagine being an elite WNBA player pre-CC. You're great at the game, and to your peers you're probably amazing Now imagine the little attention you got has been torn away from a semi-efficient shot chucker because she scored more than any other college player ever Now not only that, but the new fans to the WNBA only talk more shit about you instead of recognising your hard work to stay at the top of the WNBA And this is in the best case scenario where you're an elite WNBA player. Imagine being a Pat Bev of WNBA Do I think the hate is warranted? Fuck no. Can I understand the hates existence? Easily. I've been in the same position (not with basketball or women obv)
Here is the other part of basketball that the WNBA has not realized. They have no real drama or rivalries. Russell and Wilt elevated the game in their way. Magic vs Bird broke all barriers. Jordan vs the Bad Boys was magic. What rivalries has the WNBA had? They are too busy trying to have solidarity and never realize that rivalries are what brings in viewers. If there was a Celtics/Lakers situation, they would have amazing views, but instead, the game there are 5 minutes of no scoring with hugs all around after.
Sadly, the WNBA players have created more heat with potential fans (in this case, newcomer fans who are following Caitlin Clark) than with opposing teams. I used to watch the WNBA when it first started, and what I remember most was the Comets-Liberty games. I still haven't felt the romance for a WNBA rivalry the way I felt about that.
What people don't get is Clark didn't get the contract for her pro career. She got for her NCAA career. She has not played a regular season game as a pro. So the contract has nothing to do with the WelfareNBA.
She is getting the spotlight without talking sheet and just playing ball. She already has a shoe deal while the league mvp hasn't. She is what the WNBA needs to make the league more interesting, she is the one making the headlines and drawing attention to the league and bringing new potential fans. But the more vocal players are talking sheet about her and undermining her impact on the league. It shows us 3 things: the nature of women, who would pull the rug instead of supporting someone better in the same field; ehat the wnba needs to make the league better in quality and numbers; the entitlement of the role players who is holding the league back.
Why r people acting surprised that women are acting like this towards each other. They seem to always turn on each other in every aspect of life. I really wish it wasnt that way but theres a reason women watch more reality tv where they watch other women tear each other apart instead of watching WNBA.
Clark makes nearly 33% of the wnba player salary pool.= 45 player salaries. And they don’t want to send her to the Olympics to help bump that number up
People are forgetting that she came straight out of college right into the WNBA with maybe a couple of months between the two venues. I am waiting for next year when CC get some rest and preps for her second season.
Let me get this right. There are Women basketball players who have been working to raise awareness of their sport and when they got the best opportunity to do just that, they are hating on her?
Clark broke my heart with the last minute shot that took the IU women’s team out of the tournament but she was just doing what she does. Watching her thrive and lift up the Fever has been amazing. These vet players are cutting off their own revenue advancement. It’s time for some of these players to move on and realize this is entertainment and $$ and marketability is where the focus will be. CC #22
One thing I will say though is this guy did talk about "pay disparity" and that NBA rookies make more the wnba rookies. Yet the reason for this is 1, as we all know, the wnba loses 10 million each year, and besides that, is subsidized by the NBA. And to say its unfair for women to be payed less, is completely an understatement. In fact, if you look at it, sabrina is making more than most wnba rookies, and, numbers wise, is making more on percentage value if you look at the numbers than 80% of NBA rookies of comparing to revenue to salary. So, final answer, CC could up help up the salary of every wnba player by increased watching.
Anyone ever seen Ken Griffey Jr’s swing and just said to themselves “Damn! I’ve never seen anything like it! It’s a thing of grace and beauty!” How about a 60 yard perfect spiral placed between the numbers of a wide receiver on a sprint run so perfect it could only come from Tom and shook your head in disbelief! ….Or a sky hook that no one could defend that could only come from Kareem…………Well I’ve never seen a more fluid graceful gallop to an absolutely impossible long range shot than HERS and that’s including ALL male players! The snub was to appease the other WNBA players who didn’t get the same corporate offers!
One evening long ago, I was sitting in a bar drinking beer with a friend of mine. Apparently his wife had said something negative about him stopping at the bar before coming home. He said" You want to know why women dont like us going to the bar? They cant get along with each other , so they dont understand how we can hang out at the bar and get along" The longer I live, the more accurate that observation has become.
People haven’t liked the WNBA because it’s boring. Caitlin is making it exciting. Hopefully this leads to more talented women to join the league instead of choosing a different career path.
@@scout7060 So, insinuating that the current players aren’t talented is not an insult ? You don’t have to put other players down to make Caitlin look good. If she has the talent it will speak for itself.
@@robertgregory6693thats all the misogynistic comments can say, cc good and everyone else bad the only reason we are talking about this is the "men" who love drama like they are at fucking book club
CC has fans because, first and foremost, she loves the game! The WNBA is full of unknowns because most of the players love their wokeness more than the game. They love their identities. Fans love players who play sports. They don’t love players who play politics. These other WNBA players you mentioned as greats were not and are not greats because they are agenda driven activists first and basketball players second. They are forgotten because basketball was never their first love.
Clark isn't polarizing. The only one that don't like her are a minority of WNBA players who are insanely jealous of her. And its true, most people didn't give a darn about women's college basketball or the WNBA until Clark. I actually attended two WNBA games in the 90s and hardly anyone was in the stands and the play was uninspiring. And yes I've seen Taurasi, Wilson, Stewart, Plum, Parker, Griner, Lobo Swoopes and many others WNBA and NCAA women's basketball players on ESPN and during the Olympics and they didn't inspire me to come back for more -- Clark has.
Jealous??? She did the hand gesture first to Angel but YOUR PPL somehow thought Angel should’ve been fined that’s why we aren’t receptive. CC waving blk players off but she didn’t bank on her going to a predominantly blk league…Stop the madness…Diana Taurasi is white and so many others as well that we root for.. stop the bs..
Funny part is dont know a single wnba legends name by heart but shes a house hold name over night and because she is bringing something interesting to the sport finally like shes cooking harder than anyone ive ever seen she has the swagger and flair that the mens game has with almost all its players i hope more players like her hop in the sport cause damn id watch that shit
Revenue is generated by TV viewership and advertising dollars. The WNBA TV ratings will double or triple due to Caitlyn Clark's arrival. This is the effect Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan had, bringing in casual fans to TV watch and sell out stadiums. This will double or triple WNBA salaries. All WNBA players should be happy about Caitlyn Clark. The effect on Women's NCAA Basketball Finals TV ratings with Clark in the 2023 and 2024 Finals: -- CC 2024 9.3 Rating 18.8 M Viewers -- CC 2023 5.2 Rating 9.9M Viewers -- 2021 2.7 Rating 4.8M Viewers -- 2020 2.0 Rating 4.2M Viewers
She’s the first straight player pretty much to play for the legue. Guys need to have crushes to have interest in the sport that just won’t happen unless there’s some straight females playing.
WTF! Caitlin is flat chested with a rail thin frame and a large protruding adam apple, is that your example of a Playboy model. Four years of college basketball and their was never any mention of her having a boyfriend; now all of a sudden she supposedly has a boy friend who plays for the Pacers, but according to you she's the first straight wnba player. 🤣🤣
She is and will be legend. She will bring eyeballs to the sport. That leads to popularity of secondary players. The league will benefit in a very big way. The haters in the league are crazy, she is the saviour of the league and each player will proper. I know i will tune in to watch her play, just like i did for tiger woods in playing golf.
CC is making anyone associated with the wnba. I never heard of the owner of the Fever now I know her name. I never heard of Diane Tarasi or Stew Bird till they acted like angry jealous lesbians hating on CC.
You can tell Caitlin Clark has the “it” factor. Something about her is special. Different from the rest of them. Hopefully she lives up to everyone’s expectations. I’ll be following her for now.
@@Thomasraymun Not one. I have never cared for the W, the greater masses haven't either.

CC brings with her an already established international brand....exceeding any other current or previous WNBA...the WNBA will triple their revenue this year...why? CC fever..
Why do wnba players hate her? Because she’s a straight white female and they’re jealous. Why do nba players love her? Because she’s undeniably damn good.
That's not the issue. Clark isn't changing the money flow to the NBA players, and the owners are so rich that, obviously they will take the subsidy reduction, but they aren't losing sleep over that small amount of money.
@@qt3dot14ish I was mostly joking lol but they are kind of annoyed that they (nba) subsidize the W but still hear them complaining about not making enough and not getting support from the men. I think they’re annoyed the women aren’t capitalizing on the opportunity out of pride and jealousy.

Yes
They have a great chance to make the playoffs. Winning it all is another thing.

Nope, She can't do it alone, she will need the other ladies of the Fever team to help her.

The WNBA players still don't realize that through their lack of exciting play, they've been largely unprofitable since its inception. CC is bringing an excitement that can finally get these women paid! After all, a rising tide lifts all ships.
Largely unpopular? They've cost the NBA OVER 250 MILLION. Time to get a paying job and get off welfare!
I would add an addition to the poor play their attitude and the image they projected the world make some unlovable. I've been a big fan of a woman's college game for nearly 30 years but I just won't watch the WNBA.

I never really played that much attention to woman basketball with Caitlyn. Clark have me watching full woman basketball games. It’s a beautiful thing.
I dont dont get it. Taurasi straight out lied. Clark is not playing against of 18 yr olds. Sure there is some 18 yr old freshman. But since NCAA women Basketball players play 4 yrs most there are plenty of Jr. And Senior players in there 20s. That Clark played against night in and night out since she was a freshmen up to her Senior year.
I would love to see the average age players that Taurasi played against in her FOUR YEARS
On a stacked ass team with nothing but all-Americans as well
Diana's points are valid for sure. It's just the total disdain in her delivery that makes it seem more personal than MAYBE it is.
We also have to understand that college is a cult, and Taurasi was in Cultville, UConn, so again, when referencing Paige, the favoritism towards the UConn connection shows up in Taurasi's voice, meaning that if Paige played for Iowa and Clark played for UConn, Taurasi's comments would be completely reversed even though she would have been speaking about the exact same players. (A big part of it may not be related to the Caitlin/Paige debate, but rather the UConn vs non-UConn angle.)
Peer pressure from her UConn connection, whether real or perceived, I'm sure has an effect on how she views, and vocally translates those views on audio/video, referring to the non-UConn star Clark and the UConn star Paige.
Some people just are perceived as abrasive even though they may not be as abrasive as they come across to the masses.
@@qt3dot14ish
No way!!! Tarausi straight up is so afraid Of Clark. As she will be better and she not from Uconn. And she is not gay. ( thats just a fact so I do not want anyone to be upset about my statement)
College teams play against 64 other teams in the Final 4. The WNBA plays against only 11 other teams.
Even before clarkmania hit, the wnba seemed to have a culture problem. Toxic attitudes seem to be widespread. In the NBA you have guys that are great people and some who are jerks.
Are there nice, decent women who are stars in the wnba? Serious question.
US women's soccer used to have a real relatable group that people loved. They destroyed that.
You obviously don't follow the WBNA. There are some of the greatest women in the sport playing.
@jsjazz12
Glad to hear it. That is why I asked the question. These days, the malcontents get too much attention everywhere.
You are absolutely right about US Women’s Soccer. Back in ‘08, I ran into the team when they were visiting the DMZ in Korea. They were incredible and great ambassadors for the sport and the US everywhere they went! Both the US and Korean media were following them everywhere and they were front page news! Flash forward just 5 years and all that goodwill started to disappear when you know who showed up…
@@scottwendt9575
Yah. Wish I was wrong. 🙄
There are, but as in any big group, the few most vocal at the top set the publicly perceived tone of all the players.

Yes, she can't shoot going to her right, and she is a turnover machine.
what does being black have to do with anything

They are jealous with her Signature basketball. Only MJ and her had it and it will hurt them a lot. 🤣

Yes, Kaitlyn Clark is the face of the new generation of girls and I love it
I would have loved Caitlin Clark to have responded like this.
"As it is clear that the players of the WNBA do not see me as deserving of the attention and money I have been offered. So to satisfy the WNBA players I have accepted Ice Cubes offer and will not be signing for the WNBA. I hope that the money they save, the attention and the viewing figures that they gain from my exclusion will satisfy those who have an issue with me playing in the WNBA. I'll just have to scrape by with the $5 million from Ice Cube and hope that by not playing in the WNBA, the women will get the money, attention and popularity they demand"
Have fun fighting through airports, layovers, canceled flights, and flying coach.
Good one. Great insight, irony, sarcasm, and truth.
I would love that for her just to show them how valuable the actual FANS see her!!! But only after her first season so there could be actual context to compare.
The owners of those teams would be putting league wide memos out for all the players to STFU!!! lol
@@StudentOfLife365so would I
They are too dumb to see if the WNBA gets popular all salaries will go up.
Social injustice is tearing up our culture community and finally we got a new WNBA star that's changing the way the game should be played and current and former WNBA players better get used to it because she's here to stay and WNBA players better get over it. It shouldn't be about jealousy or envy because she's not better than what you think due to your envious lifestyle, It's all about keeping the game real so fans can enjoy the game of professional sports. Period.
Caitlin Clark will definitely improve ratings in the WNBA. The whole league will benefit from it.
Jealousy and racism/female hate. Caitlin isn't a threat to the NBA players.
According to her last two games, she is only a threat to herself. But, I'm gonna keep watching. Hope you do as well.😊

@@fredhamptongunclub8074 Yes Racism, since only Candace Parker and Sabrina Ionescu had as many points and assists in their first 7 games as Caitlin. Caitlin's P.E.R. , how the NBA rates player effectiveness, has her 15th out of 144 WNBA players, and 35 spots ahead of the next rookie. The Turnovers have come down and will continue to do so. Also, ROY is determined by PER, not votes, so Caitlin will win that by a mile. And she is the biggest draw by many magnitudes, making the league more money than they ever dreamed. But keep on hoping.
@@walterdavies2984 She is on her way to ROY, will earn over 10 million dollars in sponsorship, and is the reason the players now can fly charter and get some recognition. Or, she can go play in Europe, and half the league has to continue working jobs in the off-season. Ya'll are SO DUMB.
Jealousy will kill them
Caitlin has an insane workout schedule. She may have some adjustments to the WNBA but Clark hates to lose. She'll work harder. She has natural talent but worked hard on her game. Shes a decent person. When a local food patry offered her money to be a spokesperson for the food bank she turned down the money and did it for free. This is a really decent person and Im tired of listening to what is beginning to sound like pettiness and jealousy in the criticism.

No folks more toxic than the Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe combo.
Why WNBA hates her? - Jelousy aka "It should have been ME!"
Bottom line is the wnba players are pissed that this white girl has came in there and did what they couldn't. She needs to be recognized as the first white girl to make the wnba noticed.
Doesn't matter what the other girls think. She's getting these offers because she can shoot better than most of the men's league while generally watching womens basketball is constantly watching the ball bounce off the rim. She's fun and exciting to watch when watching most of the women/teams in the league feels like watching highschool basketball.
I have learned more about basketball in the past 2 weeks than I have my entire life and is it because Caitlin Clark? Yes, but did I also manage to discover other players and learned more about the game in time? Yes.
But I would have not be bothered to do all of this had it not been me coming across Clark’s buzzer beater shot against Indiana in 2022-2023 season.
Isn’t that what you want though? A positive domino effect? You may not be the cause of the effect, but you WILL profit off of it as well. Take advantage of it instead of whining because the spotlight isn’t on you.
The cold hard truth is that Caitlin Clark is the current face of demand and that’s something that can’t be helped. She didn’t ask for it, the girl was chosen by demand.
I don't care for basketball but I hope she dominates this sport. Good for her!
The WNBA owes Bill Burr a thank you. Him calling them out forced the league and sports broadcasters to take itself more seriously. I honestly love to see it, and it's sister league in the PWHL. Women's sport is absolutely awesome to watch for different reasons than men's sports. And like it or not, all this attention in the last 2-3 years might not happen without Bill Burr calling them out.
Diana who? Take a look at WNBA highlights from last year. Look at how empty the stands are.
The fact she wasn't on the olympic team proves..... She gets hate
Because she is a generational talent who is exciting and brings the fans (and they don't). Jealousy, Envy.
Thinking of it from a WNBA players mindset it's pretty annoying tbh.
Imagine being an elite WNBA player pre-CC. You're great at the game, and to your peers you're probably amazing
Now imagine the little attention you got has been torn away from a semi-efficient shot chucker because she scored more than any other college player ever
Now not only that, but the new fans to the WNBA only talk more shit about you instead of recognising your hard work to stay at the top of the WNBA
And this is in the best case scenario where you're an elite WNBA player. Imagine being a Pat Bev of WNBA
Do I think the hate is warranted? Fuck no. Can I understand the hates existence? Easily. I've been in the same position (not with basketball or women obv)
Only problem is the “elite” wnba players you are referencing don’t exist. They just aren’t that good
Here is the other part of basketball that the WNBA has not realized. They have no real drama or rivalries. Russell and Wilt elevated the game in their way. Magic vs Bird broke all barriers. Jordan vs the Bad Boys was magic. What rivalries has the WNBA had? They are too busy trying to have solidarity and never realize that rivalries are what brings in viewers. If there was a Celtics/Lakers situation, they would have amazing views, but instead, the game there are 5 minutes of no scoring with hugs all around after.
To me she’s more like Larr Bird. She just needs a Majic to play off of
@@leonardgatonska564 Iowa did remind me of Indiana State.
Sadly, the WNBA players have created more heat with potential fans (in this case, newcomer fans who are following Caitlin Clark) than with opposing teams.
I used to watch the WNBA when it first started, and what I remember most was the Comets-Liberty games. I still haven't felt the romance for a WNBA rivalry the way I felt about that.
Did you say "Iowa Buckeye" at the beginning? I went back and listened three times, and I can't hear anything else.
What people don't get is Clark didn't get the contract for her pro career. She got for her NCAA career. She has not played a regular season game as a pro. So the contract has nothing to do with the WelfareNBA.
She is getting the spotlight without talking sheet and just playing ball. She already has a shoe deal while the league mvp hasn't. She is what the WNBA needs to make the league more interesting, she is the one making the headlines and drawing attention to the league and bringing new potential fans.
But the more vocal players are talking sheet about her and undermining her impact on the league. It shows us 3 things: the nature of women, who would pull the rug instead of supporting someone better in the same field; ehat the wnba needs to make the league better in quality and numbers; the entitlement of the role players who is holding the league back.
Why r people acting surprised that women are acting like this towards each other. They seem to always turn on each other in every aspect of life. I really wish it wasnt that way but theres a reason women watch more reality tv where they watch other women tear each other apart instead of watching WNBA.
I don't watch sports, but I watched this to see what all the hub-bub about the WNBA is about. Oh! She's sinking those threes? Yeah! That's epic!
Clark makes nearly 33% of the wnba player salary pool.= 45 player salaries. And they don’t want to send her to the Olympics to help bump that number up
8:41 what even was that?????? That's crazy
Her contract endorsements will approach $100 million by years end (projected).
Exactly. What most people don't realize, is CC is more valuable than the ENTIRE WNBA.
People are forgetting that she came straight out of college right into the WNBA with maybe a couple of months between the two venues. I am waiting for next year when CC get some rest and preps for her second season.
I think the answer to both is that she’s actually good.
The problem is CC adds to the WNBA and not the WNBA. That’s the problem!!
Why do women hate each other but expect men and media to love them and respect them unconditionally?
men love women who don't complain A LOT like literally, Clark just play to her heart's content unlike those loser who hates her 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Rookie season and already put up 30 twice 🔥 it’s been a tough start to the season but they are starting to get some chemistry together
Let me get this right. There are Women basketball players who have been working to raise awareness of their sport and when they got the best opportunity to do just that, they are hating on her?
racist?
Clark broke my heart with the last minute shot that took the IU women’s team out of the tournament but she was just doing what she does. Watching her thrive and lift up the Fever has been amazing. These vet players are cutting off their own revenue advancement. It’s time for some of these players to move on and realize this is entertainment and $$ and marketability is where the focus will be. CC #22
One thing I will say though is this guy did talk about "pay disparity" and that NBA rookies make more the wnba rookies. Yet the reason for this is 1, as we all know, the wnba loses 10 million each year, and besides that, is subsidized by the NBA. And to say its unfair for women to be payed less, is completely an understatement. In fact, if you look at it, sabrina is making more than most wnba rookies, and, numbers wise, is making more on percentage value if you look at the numbers than 80% of NBA rookies of comparing to revenue to salary. So, final answer, CC could up help up the salary of every wnba player by increased watching.
This shined a light on what a lot of people don’t want to talk about
Anyone ever seen Ken Griffey Jr’s swing and just said to themselves “Damn! I’ve never seen anything like it! It’s a thing of grace and beauty!” How about a 60 yard perfect spiral placed between the numbers of a wide receiver on a sprint run so perfect it could only come from Tom and shook your head in disbelief! ….Or a sky hook that no one could defend that could only come from Kareem…………Well I’ve never seen a more fluid graceful gallop to an absolutely impossible long range shot than HERS and that’s including ALL male players! The snub was to appease the other WNBA players who didn’t get the same corporate offers!
One evening long ago, I was sitting in a bar drinking beer with a friend of mine. Apparently his wife had said something negative about him stopping at the bar before coming home. He said" You want to know why women dont like us going to the bar? They cant get along with each other , so they dont understand how we can hang out at the bar and get along" The longer I live, the more accurate that observation has become.
Nice misogynistic nonsense by a guy who doesn't understand women even a little
People haven’t liked the WNBA because it’s boring. Caitlin is making it exciting. Hopefully this leads to more talented women to join the league instead of choosing a different career path.
That’s a slap in the face to all the current players. Maybe that’s why she is winless.
@@scout7060 So, insinuating that the current players aren’t talented is not an insult ? You don’t have to put other players down to make Caitlin look good. If she has the talent it will speak for itself.

the only
reason we are talking about this is the "men" who love drama like they are at fucking book club
The hate is worth $28 million and the only reason is she never pay attention to her haters.😂😂😂
CC has fans because, first and foremost, she loves the game! The WNBA is full of unknowns because most of the players love their wokeness more than the game. They love their identities. Fans love players who play sports. They don’t love players who play politics. These other WNBA players you mentioned as greats were not and are not greats because they are agenda driven activists first and basketball players second. They are forgotten because basketball was never their first love.
Clark isn't polarizing. The only one that don't like her are a minority of WNBA players who are insanely jealous of her.
And its true, most people didn't give a darn about women's college basketball or the WNBA until Clark. I actually attended two WNBA games in the 90s and hardly anyone was in the stands and the play was uninspiring. And yes I've seen Taurasi, Wilson, Stewart, Plum, Parker, Griner, Lobo Swoopes and many others WNBA and NCAA women's basketball players on ESPN and during the Olympics and they didn't inspire me to come back for more -- Clark has.
CC manages to be graceful, while going all out! If women don't start watching now, they never will.
Jealous??? She did the hand gesture first to Angel but YOUR PPL somehow thought Angel should’ve been fined that’s why we aren’t receptive. CC waving blk players off but she didn’t bank on her going to a predominantly blk league…Stop the madness…Diana Taurasi is white and so many others as well that we root for.. stop the bs..
Funny part is dont know a single wnba legends name by heart but shes a house hold name over night and because she is bringing something interesting to the sport finally like shes cooking harder than anyone ive ever seen she has the swagger and flair that the mens game has with almost all its players i hope more players like her hop in the sport cause damn id watch that shit
Revenue is generated by TV viewership and advertising dollars. The WNBA TV ratings will double or triple due to Caitlyn Clark's arrival. This is the effect Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan had, bringing in casual fans to TV watch and sell out stadiums. This will double or triple WNBA salaries. All WNBA players should be happy about Caitlyn Clark.
The effect on Women's NCAA Basketball Finals TV ratings with Clark in the 2023 and 2024 Finals:
-- CC 2024 9.3 Rating 18.8 M Viewers
-- CC 2023 5.2 Rating 9.9M Viewers
-- 2021 2.7 Rating 4.8M Viewers
-- 2020 2.0 Rating 4.2M Viewers
Preach! She's like Tiger Woods.
Clark is fucking balling. She might actually bring real viewers to the wnba.
All of them are just jealous it wasn't them that got all that attention and money.
Such jealousy from the 'average' WNBA players!
She’s the first straight player pretty much to play for the legue. Guys need to have crushes to have interest in the sport that just won’t happen unless there’s some straight females playing.
Your point is so shallow..............................yet 100% accurate!
WTF! Caitlin is flat chested with a rail thin frame and a large protruding adam apple, is that your example of a Playboy model. Four years of college basketball and their was never any mention of her having a boyfriend; now all of a sudden she supposedly has a boy friend who plays for the Pacers, but according to you she's the first straight wnba player. 🤣🤣
She is and will be legend. She will bring eyeballs to the sport. That leads to popularity of secondary players. The league will benefit in a very big way. The haters in the league are crazy, she is the saviour of the league and each player will proper. I know i will tune in to watch her play, just like i did for tiger woods in playing golf.
CC is making anyone associated with the wnba. I never heard of the owner of the Fever now I know her name. I never heard of Diane Tarasi or Stew Bird till they acted like angry jealous lesbians hating on CC.

NBA Players see Clark as their ticket to get out of subsidizing the WNBA
