- The WNBA is seeing a rise in ratings and interest. With that comes controversy as sexism and racism questions arise regarding the media’s discussion of players and the players’ treatment from observers and fans. Jemele Hill, contributing writer at The Atlantic and host of "The Jemele Hill is unbothered" podcast, joins Joy Reid to discuss.

Women jealous of each other? Shocking.
PLUS BLACK WNBA PLAYERS TALKING MEN TRASH. SHOCKING
She broke every record that was there to break. Maybe she's just good
Caitlin Clark is a highly-successful white straight cisgendered non-thug feminine Christian girl from Iowa.
Caitlin Clark is a poster child for everything that today's left LOATHES.
Not!
Lies…not in the WNBA…
@@LisaJoB2024 Fastest rookie to 300 points, 100 rebounds, 100 assists. But sure, ignore the facts.
@@LisaJoB2024soon to have all the records hon
What blooming shame. The young miss regardless of her color, she is an excellent player, give credit where credit is due
She has white skin, that changes everything..
Other players matter
The league is full of excellent players. Credit is due for each of them.
@@hitch-tf5rh she is not a drug dealer with attitude I like her playing style.
@@playmakers372 Ahh....you like participation trophies, don't you?
The WNBA is just mind-numbing boring. Doesn’t matter what colors the players are…
I have never cared about Wnba. I only watch when Caitlin Clark plays.
Same here.
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.... You've never watched the WNBA because its made up of over 70% black american players to begin with. Now you're watching only Caitlin Clark...Really? So that means that you're not supporting her or her contributions to the WNBA. That also means that you're part of the problem and division in women's sports.
Tell Caitlin that you only watch her and I bet she'll tell you she doesn't want that kind of support. In a USA Today interview, she even said that 'it stinks that these conversations are not about the game and the amazing players in the WNBA and how great the season has been for women's basketball' Caitlin Clark is a good player, but you and all the other hater's of the WNBA will sink her ship eventually. Enjoy watching Caitlin and her team's losing season.
@@GB_Rad71 that is reality it's business.
🙋♂️
@@GB_Rad71Actually, I am enjoying watching Caitlin Clark play even if she plays on a losing team. I also loved watching Michael Jordan play as a rookie even when the Bulls sucked.
I don't care what anyone say I truly think Caitlyn is the one once she get use to the WNBA she going to be dangerous
No Reese is killing that manly h onky Clark ick yall are sick
Angel already getting used to the WNBA. 😂😂😂😂
@@LisaJoB2024 And yet not close to CC's stats......
Did she say BG wouldnt end up in jail because the wnba didnt provide charter flights.
👀
No accountability at all and they wonder why people don't like the wnba
These ladies got some Beautiful WHITE GIRL BLONDE HAIR for their Pro Sista Queen talk 🤦🏽♀️
Come on that’s a ignorant comment. I’m black and I bleach my hair blond, Pink, purple. Red. What’s your point?
@@MaritzaLannscultural appropriation
I’ll never forget Caitlin Clark. The rest are bitter & forgettable. It’s not about race. It’s about class & respect.
Caitlin clark is the reason why the WNBA is making millions. Don't killed the Golden goose.
They're making millions because the wnba saw an opportunity . Create the whole show . First make it about race., knowing that the uneducated racist fans , which was the target .would come from under their rocks , since the trump show is in its final season . And join the Real fans that don't pay attention to race . The fans that don't expect everything to be given to them because of their color . And are not yet contaminated with hatred and bigotry. Of other in the system People that knew that caitlin was going to be given the business by some of the players especially some black players . The real basketball fans , the educated fans attitudes are that , yes caitlin you're good , you can play , you can make three pointers . But you're running with the big dawgs now . Make us proud ! But the problem , as it always is , the uneducated privileged bigoted racist , their attitudes are , oh they hit that baby , their jealous of the baby , they're hating her because she's a great player etc ,etc ,etc . I must remind you all that God and Satan has been playing chess for very long time . Satan does his worst , God does his best ! Everything you've done since the beginning of time has not yielded the results you wanted !
Angel Reese is the reason why I watch women’s basketball. C. clark fan base is not trading to other teams or players so it’s useless or it’s only good for the fever
@@ctbt1832 Look at the attendance numbers for when the Fever play in the visitors hometown. Attendance skyrockets. It's good for EVERYONE.
Actually the WNBA has never turned a profit. As a matter of fact, a large portion of the WNBA funding comes from the NBA.
@@ctbt1832 You mentioned that her fan base is not trending to other teams. Last night people watched 2 WNBA teams with losing records (0-9 and 2-7) and drew over 20.000 fans. Also they were playing in DC not Indiana so those ticket sales went to the home team.
Two biggest race baitors alive. No one cared till there was a superstar
Brenna Stewart is a superstar and the face of the league, no one cares… she is also white
Nobody watches if there is no miss Clark
Correction: nobody white watches is what is being inferred here.
These general statements are what wrong with people..ive watched every single one of Angel's game along with watching the Sparks. You can't sit facing the corner and think you can see the whole room.
@dionnek.9028 and it's facts
False.
Robdillon, speak for yourself
A few years ago Chris Everett brought interest into women’s tennis. Mia Hamm brought interest into female soccer. Tiger woods got regular folk interested in golf. Women’s figure skating got a boost from the Tonya Harding- Nancy Kerrigan feud.
If people are talking about you- enjoy the publicity. It is good for everyone in the sport.
Who is talking about women’s soccer now?
Who is the women’s national figure skating champion?
Stop bringing up facts. It hurts leftist MSDNC’s loyalists feelings.
Great point.
US woman national team was getting all the hype cause they were winning. Woman soccer had better ratings than the man's soccer but as soon as they started to lose the interest went down.
Ok, you're only remembering Mia Hamm because you don't really follow women's soccer, they had Brandi Chastain and July Foudi as also legendary players. You just proved the point of the video, players disappear from memory when espn or some other network has decided on their star.
@@ryanlaslow4796 people have favorites that they remember, get over it.
Caitlin Clark is the only reason anyone watches the WNBA. Caitlin Clark is being attacked by a bunch of spoiled thugs and she NEVER backs down! Gotta love Caitlin Clark. The jealousy displayed by those other thug players is disgusting.
Thanks for your input grand wizard
People were already watching the W before her. She's definitely bringing in more people and hopefully that translates to other star players and great teams. Just because it's not the NFL, NBA, or MLB doesn't mean it doesnt have a fanbase.
@@markwatkins4825 Yes, user should sit in the corner and not use their eyes. Forbid people watch because of a star. Funny, NBA has done well, hmmmm wonder why there are not as many racist fans there? Oh wait! I know, because there was not much interest in air balls, missed lay ups, generally very few exciting players and now the GOAT of College ball (records, stats do not lie) is in the WNBA and you gotta hate because she is white and straight.
@@morganalexandria2tens of people watching before. Millions watching now. Math…..
They didn't lay down anything TECHNICALLY the WNBA was supposed to be out of business
Believe it's just a matter of time it's a fad
They are better players than Clark bottom line

For me, it gets tiresome.
@benjaminsmith2287 it's extremely counter intuitive to actual race issues
Maybe take lesson from Clark off the court. Amazing 22 year old.
If a player hates Caitlyn all they need to do is break all of her records and steal her thunder.Simple enough.
What records? Shes a rookie in the WNBA
Give all the rookies some time. They are not supposed to shatter all records after 10 games. Is impossible.
What are you talking about
@@zor2334 LOL she's already broken quite a few records. Most points ever for a player in 17 games. Most points scored, 30 points twice in a season etc.

I have been a Fan of Jemele Hill, even longer than the 15 years i've been one of the W! So listen to her Folks! Now, it is pretty disgusting that Clark is getting so much hype - some are trying to treat her like 'the great white hope' of the WNBA & that's just stupid. She is not promoting this however, atleast not to my knowledge? I do however, hope Players back off from the kind of fouls that could put her off the Court for long periods of time, because love her/hate her - she is helping to put new butts in seats! Which i would think will lift up everyone & the sport itself, even sooner, than later??!
Yes she's drawing new viewers. And what do they see? The WNBA is an overall ugly product. It's too much 1980s NBA Bad boys bullyball rather than a physical but enjoyable game to watch. How is it that the Aces A'ja Wilson, a sure to be hall of famer and one of the WNBA's best ever and top player now, plays about 8 or 9 games and has her contact lens knocked out of her on a hit, is knocked to the ground hard at least 4 times in 4 games and lies there for a period of time and has bled at least twice? That's not something a lot of people want to watch. By no means is Caitlin the only one getting hit hard or is it unusual for players to go after rookies. Maybe Caitlin gets more hits but this type of hazing idiocy happens in most sports. Still, the refs, the league, need to do something. They have a product that would have more viewers and more known stars if it was a less brutal thing to watch. And for those that call me soft, fine, I'll be soft then. That word means nothing to me in this context. Keep the players safe and make the product better.
Two women who alway have blond hair…. 😅
And your point?
SO
@@markwatkins4825cultural appropriation
Blond hair belongs to a particular culture? So everyone who tans is guilty too?
@@jiggahenry9471 yup
Wnba should've been out of business years ago. Caitlen Clark saved it
As a woman I would love all these women to band together and stop attacking each other. I think they can and should be helping move all girls and women to move forward. I realize racial inequality exists. Use this moment to make strides. Do not let it be a a lost opportunity. As a woman I want better for black, brown,red, yellow and white women. Let's help each other up in this world ❤
When have women ever done anything other than tear each other down
well said and I agree there is too much bs, I really wish people would just learn to get along and enjoy the game you enjoy playing or watching ffs!!!
So everyone has to be valued not just one player
It sounds nice but for fans it is really boring. WWF is only interesting because we love to see the heels get what they deserve. Women's basketball is getting attention because of a grudge match, men's basketball grew because players who had to buy their own shoes when they were rookies were jealous of some kid called Michael Jordan getting paid more to wear shoes than they made in a season.
@@grogery1570 true that grudge match really took on a life of its own. Guess we will see if the attention is substantial
Did you all know Black people cannot be bigots? I'm not sure how that double standard works but these 2 are dying on that hill
Never would’ve even clicked on this video if it wasn’t about Clark
Joy will nod and agree with ANYTHING a BW says or does.
Catlin Clark is the best thing to happen to the WNBA.
These so called ladies sure are so hateful, you can hear it and see it in their faces!😕
Every once in awhile i check out Joy Reid because she makes me feel like a genius in comparison.
How about the Fact that Angel Reese what about Me!! Was in her Hometown Arena against the Mystics Yesterday and Barely had 10k fans. CC there tonight and sets an WNBA record with 20K Plus fans in Reese's Backyard... Proof is in the Pudding. Cant fight the facts.
Fact Check:
1. Angel is NOT from Washington DC!
2. The fever game did NOT set a WNBA attendance record!
3. Thursday night game vs Friday Night game!
Even thought there were more ppl are the Fever game, the Sky game was still moved from the Mystics' 4800 seat arena to the Capitol One arena that was able to house over 10k. I dont know where you get barely from 10k from. Angel Reese still more than doubled the attendance at the Mystics game. Makes Sense?😂
@@halfurbanhalfsuburban8219 - yeah Capital one Arena.
@@longriflem14 I edited the comment after I posted it because I looked it up myself.
@@halfurbanhalfsuburban8219thank you. There is a big difference between a Thursday night and Friday night game. The W is also giving the Fever the better days to play like Friday and Saturday to keep the narrative going.
@@halfurbanhalfsuburban8219 💯
Hey WNBA, Caitlin Clark not on the Olympic team? You all should be fired .
Absolutely!!
She didn’t participate in the tryouts. Do we change rules for one person?
@@jiggahenry9471 what?? lol
she gets the treatment cause she can ball. Not just fumble her way to the basket but making crazy buckets which even Steph would be proud of. they rest of them are unexciting and not worth watching
Fun fact charter flights aren't free
Could not have been doing chartered flights all along. You "gots" to have cash. She brings in two million extra per game in any game she plays in. That's how the charter ✈️ flights have come to be.
2 million EXTRA? You need to check your figures! You are just making up stuff!
She brings money to the league Bottom line .
She brings in table scraps lol
Men picking sides for no reason? The gal i the opening clip you played is enough reason to get Stephen A to talk about it.
But somehow women are allowed to pick a side for I guess no reason? That was an insane statement. I stopped watching after that.
It's sport. Picking a Team to support is the whole thing.
'Intellectual' people discussing sport often advertise their cluelessness without knowing that they've done that.
Men ain't picking sides, they're watching Caitlin Clark! Statista Research Department conducted a survey in March of last year and discovered that WNBA popularity is becoming more popular for men, with 11 percent of men indicating they were avid fans of the league whereas just four percent of females indicated the same.Apr 25, 2024
@@C_71 it's the talk of the month or year it's a fad people
Nobody owes you an audience. "Faced marketing challenges?". People weren't watching is another way of expressing that same point. But, if you say it that way, you have to face up to why. If you call it marketing you can blame the suits. Bands have made the same complaints for years. The label doesn't believe in us.
So if the wnba had chartered flights Brittany Griner would've gone to prison in Russia.
Yup that makes perfect sense. Complete logic used here clearly
The WNBA has been losing money since its beginning. It is bailed out constantly by the NBA. This will change with Caitlin who draws large crowds because of her outstanding talent, skills, decency and ability to play basketball. She wasn't handed awards because she is white. She was handed awards because she EARNED them through hard work, dedication and being goal oriented. She is a true star, not a faked up, glitzy pseudo trying to demand stardom. Other players should strive to be the best that they can be and let Caitlin Clark be the best that she can be. She has not said one word against anyone on her own team or on any opponent's team and has, in fact, pointed out their strengths and talent when reporters ask her about them. Caitlin wants everyone to win and share in the improved league.
This is the bottom line. It is ignored for drama by the media and people who are not truly knowledgeable about the issues. And it turns into a mess.
One player does not build a league. It’s really unwatchable. Sorry
The WNBA is stratight trash to watch.
nope... they operate at a $10M loss every year... no matter popular she is, she can't generate that kid of revenue. the WNBA failed and continues to fail because women don't watch it because women don't care about sports... the #1 thing women spend money on pre-marriage is beauty products and after marriage it's groceries and household goods. like bill burr said, woman failed the wnba, not men... women. The Kardashians are literally billionaires... says everything about what's important to women.
I started watching WNBA again based on Juju Watkins potential and what Caitlan Clark brings to the game. I'm attracted nowadays to the skill set they've reached.💪🏿
You think it might have to do with who drives sales? Like, Jordan and Bulls led to a major step up of NBA merch, ticket sales, etc., and you didn't see Larry Bird talking about laying groundwork.
Let's go farther, you didn't see Boston or L.A. players complaining! They praised MJ, his main haters were the Pistons and the Knicks!
No Angel Reese is a very dislikable person
She's an UNDENIABLE baller. Full stop.
Wow! Angel is very lovable on/off the Court...her Personality,.....Passion,and undeniable Appreciation for the Game & her Fans
Joy, why are you culturally appropriating Donald Trump's hair ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jewelry really needs to stay out of this conversation and stay in her Lane
Everyone is lovin them some Caitlin Clark!!!!!
Jemele's opinion was the one I was waiting to hear..thank you Joy 💖
I love how Joy Reid and Co take a prevailing sentiment, i.e., the WBNA hates Caitlin Clark. And pretends it's not a thing.
It's not our imagination that everyone seems to have an opinion. And if your black and in the WNBA it's unanimously negative against Caitlin Clark.
But who cares they have their hatred, jealousy and accusations and Caitlin Clark keeps setting records. 😂❤
I didn't even know the w n b a had been around for more than five or ten years
25 years and loses $10M every year. If the NBA did not give millions to the WNBA in free subsidies, the WNBA would have shut down 20 years ago.
That segment was outstanding!!! Loved it!!!
THE WHITE GIRL, OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!
Clark has nothing to do with all ths BS. Poor girl. These men just trying to poromote themselves with her name.
Blacks are mad
This isn't about color, mate. This is about biting the hand that feeds you. At each and every level up moment .. there's a leader. And Clark is today's leader. Look at what Dawn Staley did for women's basketball. And she sings high praise for Clark.
To me, this is about jealousy and women being catty and tearing each other down, rather than building each other up. Yeah we learned that from being domesticated by patriarchy. AND .. time to get over that bollocks and hold each other up.
Love the heck outa you... but I feel like you're dead wrong on this one.
If you follow professional sport it is not necessary hate or jealousy. They come for you if you are given the title as the best in any sport (individual sport is different). The top rookie in the NFL and NBA get tested every time they hit the bigtime. Even the college freshman that comes in with a sensational tag gets challenged. Michael Jordan was challenged... a famous player on the US Men's basketball team told others not to pass MJ the ball. These are all black players. I do not think it's about race for the players despite the make belief racial undertone. The media has racialized the issue with the steady glorification of a brilliant white player. Caitlin is talented and she is unbothered by the events on the court. I'm sure she knows or the team that she has off the court reminds her of the storylines. This is good for the game. Welcome to America!
YOU ARE SPOT ON! Dawn was a beast! I didn't see ANY woman playing like her! Her, Swoopes, and Parker are why I've EVER been interested in college and women's basketball outside of the Olympics! She was just different!
Reese got death threats from white people after beating CC that 1st championship. This whole discussion is polarized by race despite everyone’s talent
They talk about griner being held in Russia for having cannabis on her. If I'm going to a country where it is illegal and the law is harsh I'm going to make sure I'm clean! Their country Their RULES!
WOMEN FAILED THE WNBA -- NOT MEN --- WOMEN. WOMEN FAILED THE WNBA. Meanwhile... the Kardashians...
And racism from Joy Reid’s mouth!
Did you expect anything different?
What did she say racist I’ll wait
@@mrshp2392 Michael Jordan was a culture vulture. He joined a game invented by white men and played by mostly white men and totally changed the game and it was never the same. Black people only became interested in basketball because Michael Jordan was black. It wasn't because he was the greatest ever, it was just because they had the same skin color and it was marketable. --- I believe none of this, but it's exactly what they are saying about Caitlin. It's seriously disturbing people like you can't even recognize racism these days. Do better.
If she had been a tall asian-american woman with stellar green eyes, how would this moment have been different?
When was the last time the WNBA made a profit? when when women support the WNBA to the level that will make this enterprise a viable enterprise
"It's simply America", as in, white and straight is simply the biggest demographic, so any for-profit business should want that demographic to feel welcome.
That's funny. Somehow I'm even less interested than I was before. Lol
Ugh same

We watch wnba because of Caitlin Clark we were not interested before.
Totally agree 👍
THE REASONS PEOPLE WATCHING WNBA NOW A DAYS BECAUSE OF CAITLIN CLARK, PERIOD!!! I include myself for that, even Famous Singer Like Tim McGraw & Faith Hill said they are watching WNBA now bcuz of Caitlin Clark, NOT Angel Reese!They should appreciate Clark by boosting the WNBA.
Take CC out of the wnba and nobody will watch them. Those women embarrass themselves every day.
More Jemele Hill, please.
Did Reid just compare not getting a chartered flight to being in a gulag?
When an entire league can be short so short-sighted about someone who is elevating them.
If the entire league is doing better because some rookie just entered, you should be extremely grateful about that rookie, because each and every one of you is going to get paid more money, have a stronger negotiating position, and get a greater cut of things in general over time.
You want a league that's known and followed, not the irrelevance you've had up to now. Don't be looking at your gifthorse in the mouth.
You see right there is the reason I pity people who diet on main stream media.., She has played a click of Monica cheap shot to Stephen A without context, Has she even told her viewers its Stephen A who handpicked her to always come to the show.,? Or that the same always talked about WNBA before her.? Secondly why invite Jereme Hill to talk about race stuff when she weeks ago wrote a jealousy filled belittling article about caitlin in the Atlantic (find it)..
What did shebsay that was jealousy?
"How the Majority black woman lead league has been treated over time" She left out a the important part😮 "How the Majority black woman lead league (that nobody wanted to watch) has been treated over time". They are still losing money especially when CC isn't playing.
Tonight, 6/7, Clark played 39 minutes, 30 points, 7-3s!!
Against the worst team in the league foh 😂😂
8 rebounds, 6 assists. After the rest, she came out strong.
She had 3 points the game before
@@ianneufville3789 So what? She had a bad game. Happens to a lot of players. She's capable of huge games and she's had more of those than 3 point games.
Why doesn't anyone acknowledge that Clark broke all records in college and took her team to the championship 2 years back to back, and was just so much fun to watch! She was the top draft pick not because she was white but because she earned it! I live in Iowa, and I know that if Clark was black she would be getting that much love because really we just like winning!
Caitlin speaks clear and intelligently- and is marketable white or not-- I have lost all repect for Joy Reid I was a fan of her show but no more. Caitlin did not ask for this.
If Caitlin Clark was playing for Connecticut and nobody would have said anything about CC because she came out of University of Iowa , WNBA players mostly played for Connecticut that’s why they are jealous of CC.
The thing is is that Catlin Clark isn't the first or only white player. So that argument is out. I'd like to hear from one of the players who is brave enough to admit this is some women pettiness at its highest level
Treat women with more respect. Go after the money...to change.
NOONE IS HATING ON OR IS JEALOUS OF CAITLYN CLARK.
Jemele Hill is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
CC should just quit
Wow the people who created racism calling somebody racist

The media promoting Caitlin and generating more money is a good thing. Diminishing the characters of all of the the other women in the wnba is a bad thing. Who cares about the money if you are going to destroy their character?
Joy is late to the game, doesn't understand the dynamic, and Jemele is probably the last person she should have brought to the conversation.
The interest is one and done, nobody will keep watching
But that American in a nutshell. Ignore those who did the work and try to give credit to those who werent even there and did nothing to deserve it.
Where was the money ?????
"She better be on the Olympic team," Leslie told ESPN at the time. "We should not leave the country without her. She's a bona fide baller.
Lisa Leslie who helped lay the Groundwork for Caitlin Clark, and the rest.
Don't care what color you are, when you lose your professionalism, you hurt everyone in the League.
Kennedy said ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country.
When there's a train coming you don't stand in front and get run over, you get on board and use it to get where you want to go.
Otherwise, you're just about yourself.
When MJ came into the league it was the same hype and many other players didn't like it as well and in end Embraced it.
Women’s basketball wasn’t getting air time and the stadiums weren’t full before Caitlyn. People want to watch a superstar.
Bro she's a rookie and yet it's because she's white . And also because of what she done in college and she will not even be mvp. There a player in wnba that's actually killing the league and not even get exposure
Reid brings in a guest that only validates her point and looks like her
Who has a sadder darker heart: Jemele hill or Joy Reid
SMH! These two are way off!
More than half the population is women in the US, so if a women's sport is failing, who is to blame? I guarantee Joy has never watched a game, but will surely complain about people not watching it.
Ladies, let me spell this out for you. A rising tide lifts all boats. If you are so jealous of her that you want to sabotage this opportunity for you all then you are the biggest fools around.
Just two natural blondes chatting about white privilege.
Wow, I use to like Joy Reid. Get your facts right. I still watch all the other MSNBC shows.
1:52 Joy, how is Kaitlin ' privileged '? Unless you call being given a hard time for no other reason than jealousy a privilege ?
The anger needs to go cba and get the money for salary increase
Majority of the country is white and heterosexual. Thus, more people relate to Catlin. It also helps that she’s really good. 😊
These two blond women don’t really get it. SMH
Maybe because she brings in money for the league. If wnba went away tomorrow you all would be unemployed and people wouldn't even notice.
Well, I see Joy Reid is doing her usual racial " stuff "
RACIAL STUFF? Get real or rather educate yourself. Just because you may not be on the receiving end of systemic racism, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If it's happening it needs to be discussed, and it is happening.

There are highly successful and wealthy blk individuals in every career field all over this country.
Congressmen and women, Senators, AG, Mayor's, DA'S, Judges, police chief's, city council, Dr's , lawyer's, pro athletes, movie stars / actors / singers / rappers, etc, etc.
If systemic racism and oppression existed NONE of that would be the case.
You have a victimhood mindset. No one is preventing you or any other blk person from being successful.
The decisions you make have the biggest impact on the outcome of your life , both good and bad.
Stephanie A could've talked about the WNBA 3 years ago, but no one wanted him to. Remember the Chicago Sky championship 'parade'? Chicagoland area has around 10M population, yet only like 16 people showed up😂😂😂!!! However, if Caitlin Clark won a title with the Fever, that parade would be just as big as if the Pacers won. Guaranteed.
