How long are you going to run this into the ground?it's OVER...they in paris...we have had this debate for a MONTH...nothings going to change...MOVE ON BRO
Whhaaaatttt people lead by no logic and all feelings would be catty and mean to others? In other news, water is not actually wet, but makes things wet.
Here’s the truth. I know Caitlin Clark. I don’t know one single other player that they mentioned throughout this entire video. Not one. I never heard of any of them until this video but I have heard of Caitlin Clark. When someone mentions another name in the WNBA, I am always finding myself asking the same question. “WHO DAT?”
@@lisamanv I am a fan of someone who is a special player. Caitlin is special. The others are not. They are just regular players that you see playing in the park. They always mentioning someone named Bangle Kreese, Who Dat? I don’t know any other player except Caitlin.Special is special and normal is normal. It’s that simple.
Funny they've been complaining for years about being the laughing stock of pro basketball, but as soon as the cash cow comes to save them, they want to throw it all away. It's like they love the irrelevance they've been in for decades
They never once cared about WNBA as a whole. Everything is about their own personal interest/agenda. Once we understands this point, all their actions can be rationalized haha.
Imagine a society of women without men. Feminists claim it would be a utopia free from violence, but actually it'd be the opposite. They just endlessly drag each other down, while complimenting each other to their faces. Female spaces are like Lord of the Flies but even worse.
It must be nice to be in a business that doesn’t have to concern itself with nonsense like “making money” and can instead just treat it like a bunch of high school cliques.
I am 79 years old..played sports all my life..Have never watched the WNBA until I heard about CC from a best friend of mine that came to Florida from Iowa! I have since watched the games every day on RUclips..for Atleast 4-5 hours a day. AaaAND..watch on tv when it is aired. I love watching her..and shame on the jealousy haters!!?
@@chadgibson7725nah, id say its about 5% race maybe 10 max. Its really just women, they really are envious and jealous. Its really sad to see tbh because she could really save or help improve the wnba
@AnvilPro100 the only people who care is yall cc fans it a exhibition match fun for usa serious for wnba cc had 4 points assist only count of someone makes the shot so her teammates make her look good
@@chachadingogoreo921do you actually watch the games. Do you realize that it's a business and any other business would fold if they lost 10 million per year
@@chachadingogoreo921 Team USA was face guarding CC full court even when she didn't have the ball. Sounds pretty serious to me that they wanted to win by any means. Some exhibition!
@@wt2972 i didn't say she humbled them . i said, whenever she does an interview SHE IS HUMBLE and courteous about the league and other players, compared to how they conduct themselves when she is mentioned. They barely won that gold and if they didn't snub her because of their egos, and hate she would of had that gold to. probably would of won by a wider margin as well.
@ICottonEyeJoe you're right, I was wrong and the humbling. However barely is still gold. Just ask the men. She wasn't snubbed. If anything, Arike Ogunbowale was snubbed, she's not a rookie, and she's better.
@@wt2972 i agree Arike Ogunbowale is a better pick for a player, but to get more eyes and grow the game you get Caitlyn. Or add both there was plenty of people to pick to replace with them.
@ICottonEyeJoe people around the world love the US team no matter who is on the court. Globally, women's basketball has grown, which is why the gold medal game was close. Like I said before, there are better players. I've watched the WNBA from the beginning. I didn't come because of skin tone. Not saying you, but you have to admit it's because she is white. She's a good player, but the hype is because she is white. That's why so many people who clearly don't watch the league or never been to games are with an opinion. FYI, I'm from Connecticut, so I've seen many greats and watched the battles with Tennessee and Pat Summit. I'm not here as a bandwagon skin tone fan. You clearly are informed so again, not you, but the you know who.
God is GOOD; always be humble and kind. Miss Clark is a wonderful example of both attributes. The haters gonna hate. Miss Clark just loves to play basketball and being a part of a TEAM…look at her assists! She wants her teammates to THRIVE. I was a former collegiate athlete and latter amateur body builder/physique competitor. I get it. She’s all in for her passion!! What young woman doesn’t benefit from admiring and emulating her QUALITIES. Always be humble and kind.
@@chervang7578 The USWBT situation is indicative of how difficult it is for women to work together. They passed on a huge opportunity for viewship and jersey sales but they let their own emotions get in the way.
Im dutch. My daughters wanted to go to paris and watch her. Could have sparked lifelong passion and dreams. Without CC they didnt even want to go. CC here would have made so many little european girls want to play you cant even comprehend. We had tickets for that japan-usa game..
Really sorry for the Ethics we have in some sport ... as a 2 time Olympian in triathlon.....this is really sad... I hope your girls continue to be inspired by a great player and she gets to see her.
@@g2vision839 thanks for the thoughtful comment. To be honest we didnt even watch them on TV, just asked and they have no clue about how this USA-team is doing. Meanwhile the girls are still watching Clark video's, maybe even more now. But as an olympian im sure you understand what seeing someone like her live could spark in kids. And you can't say that casually you're a 2x olympian, congratulations on your amazing achievements!
@@fastfootedone no, just asked the girls and they haven't watch any Olympic basketball at all. They still watch CC videos though and just saw them practicing her sidestep jumper. That was beautiful
Australian here, didn’t really care for either men’s or women’s basketball. But since Caitlin started playing, I always look for the Indiana Fever and the highlights. She’s unbelievable. We have what we call the Tall Poppy Syndrome here, when an athlete is outstanding, we all look for negatives about them. But when they play for Australia, we don’t give a damn. We support them all the way. Way to go Caitlin, you’re a world wide outstanding player. Love for Australia 🇦🇺
yeah and Clark managed to do what even Bird failed at. I don't know how old you are but Bird took Indiana State to the NCAA finals against a Michigan State team that featured Magic Johnson and 2 other people who were drafted into the NBA. He ALMOST pulled it off but Caitlin actually did it. now if the WNBA would lose the jealousy and embrace the player who is driving up ticket sales, that would be a smart move OR they can drift back into obscurity with crowds in the 300 range and be the lesbian league they've always been . personally I can't believe this girl's range. she's knockin down shots from the NBA 3 point area with people draped all over her. the WNBA should kiss her ass for not already taking 5 million a year to play in Ice-Cube's 3 x 3 league.
I am from the Uk and only started watching US women's basketball because of the exceptional talent of Caitlin and Paige. Just one superstar can propel a sport to international recognition with the appropriate support and publicity. WNBA do not deserve to have success the way they are treating Caitlin.
Honestly watching the non-US WNBA absolutely wipe the floor with the “national” team was the best shit that could’ve ever happened. It proved unequivocally that they made a mistake.
I feel like Arike Ogunbowale should have been mentioned when discussing the WNBA vs Team USA game. She scored 34 points all in the 2nd half, received the game MVP and also previously had removed herself from the Team USA selection claiming it was too political.
Arike personally took herself out of consideration for the team saying she wanted to get away from the politics and drama involved... The she proceeds to torch Team USA in the WNBA All Star Game for 34 points teaming up with CC and AR!
Being Dutch and not a real basketball follower, Caitlin Clark made me interested in following this whole upset. She shows her class against all the disrespect she got, Caitlin you truly earned my respect.
Okay you Catlin Clark fanatics are delusional. Saying nonsense, that players are jealous of a rookie that hasn't done anything in the league. Like Aja Wilson is concerned about Catlin Clark 🤔. Oh please!
@@XarisXI you must be delusional 🤪. I have a life and it doesn't revolve around your precious Catlin Clark. You might be fanatic about her. However I just don't care.
So Taurasi thinks she was good enough to play her rookie year but she thinks Caitlin is not. What a JOKE Jealousy is running rampant in woman’s pro basketball.
What do you expect? Lol bunch of women and a lot of them lesbians. jealousy and toxic behavior is in most of their bloods. Cc is definitely way classier, likable and a phenom player!
In regards to Diana Torrisi’s comments, where does she think Caitlin was playing against 18-year-olds in college? She also wasn’t 25 at the time. She was barely 22 her birthday in February. And finally, Diana said that the reason she was picked as a rookie for the Olympic team and Kaitlyn was not was because she said I won three national titles. She won not her team won them. If she was in Caitlin ‘s place playing with Iowa does she think she would led them to three national titles? I kind of think playing with a university that constantly won national championship in women’s basketball made a lot of difference
Players and staff are going against her because of media spotlight. It’s not even related to CC and who she is. This is ridiculous and sad to see. There’s nothing more destructive than jealousies women
Yeah, I don't get the hate on her. She does her job, isn't cocky at all, doesn't talk shit, doesn't hate on anyone, then shows up and does her job again...very well I might add. I don't see what's not to like. Situations like this is where I think women can be way more vicious than men. Jealousy cuts deep.
@chrisoliver5302 someone didn't watch her in college. Here's a hint for you. Some played against her, and some of their friends did. They remember the disrespect. You get it now? You don't get to be disrespectful then say, "Hey, I'm different now. I take it all back." Kick rock, homie. You understand full well.
@@chrisoliver5302i don't watch basketball often but I believe why people don't like her. It's been too long and too consistent. She's a really good player but her personality seems to suck. Her team mates don't seem to favor her either. Something about her just isn't right. Maybe it's because she makes more money or has more financial backing.
I'm just glad we get to see it in real time so we all know what is really going on and it can't be twisted or manipulated by media. We all see her basically getting tackled and shit. Crazy how it's this bad and people still ain't calling them out for said racism.
Catlin clark IS NOT among the top 5 scores IS NOT among the top 5 in 3 pointers made NOWHERE TO BE FOUND among top REBOUNDERS BLOCKS SHES 5TH in steals and 4TH IN ASSISTS So, PLENTY OF WNBA PLAYERS are having a BIGGER IMPACT on the game than Catlin Clark... WAAAAY TOO MUCH brown nosing for Catlin Clark
Reminds me of what they did with Jordan when he first joined the NBA, then he was the one that changed the game and brought millions of fans to the game and billions of dollars to the NBA. Caitlin Clark can change the MNBA if they stop hating on her.
They are all snobs. Caitlin is too new to the WNBA. She is too young and pretty. She is white and straight. What it all boils down to is CC is reshaping the landscape of women's basketball and all the established snobs are having their records smashed by Clark. Absolute and total jealousy. Clark is too good too soon in her career and they don't like it. They want to bring her down a peg or two in the pecking order because the veterans feel threatened by her pure talent.
@jsholmes, have you seriously looked at some of the mutts in the WNBA? By comparison CC is way above average and THATS what they are all jealous of. She’s actually won people in the league over by just being genuine and playing WITH her team. I know her family & her dad would not baby or favor her. If she wanted to play it wasn’t going to be a catered affair and that young lady has EARNED her place. She’s got a huge amount of scrutiny and pressure on her young shoulders and she has met it with dignity and maturity. I think she’s been a helluva great influence on young girls and she is a terrific roll model.
The problem is she is new and young, glowing and getting attention! The other women never saw that happen to them... so now they are infected with the mentality of "don't hate me because I'm beautiful". Lets all hate the pretty girl, and we can be the mean girls.
Ya a WOMAN WHO KNOWS FOR SURE SHE IS A WOMAN AND HAS NO CONFUSION ABOUT HER SEXUALITY OR HOW TO BE A WOMANS WOMAN AND A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG WOMEN ACCROSS THE COUNTRY ALL PARETS CAN BE PROUD OF
It’s amazing that the WNBA has been around for like 30 years and this is the first time people are really turning out because of CC and the entire league is so pissed about it. That’s literally like the NBA being pissed about Michael Jordan or the PGA being pissed about Tiger Woods. If ever, there was a time for an entire league of professionals to grow up, it is now. It is the WNBA.
A wise woman once told me that American women are inherently jealous and envious of other women by nature and will bite off their collective nose to spite their face. In this case Caitlin Clark as the new face of the WNBA that's lifting them all up.
USA escaped a loss at the Olympics and were very boring to watch. I rooted for France, they were exciting and showed real basketball. Two super tall USA players did their tricks. You know why we love CC - because she makes it exciting ❤
I’m a Caitlin Clark fan - I’m upset she wasn’t selected to the US Team but grateful for her opportunity to get some rest which will make her even more formidable the second half of the season.
They kept her out because she is white, straight, young & more skillful & successful than all of them....if that is not discrimination, then I do not know what it is....
When Clark plays, she plays with the whole team. As many times as she puts one in the net herself, she gives the ball to a teammate. She constantly changes her attack method which seems to confuse the other divas she plays against. Caitlin doesn't have to have the most dunkers in the game, the most assists, the most three-pointers, the most steals or the most possessions. For Caitlin, it's about winning and her team winning is more important than what she wins during the game.
She can pass, she can dribble, she can rebound (not being a super tall) and she can score and shoot 3s (better than anyone woman in the WNBA) and she can actually make layups as well...lol
A clear discrimation and hatered against Caitlin. Thats what jealously brings, total failure on the WNBA. Instead of cashing in on Caitlin, they hurt her but they hurt themselves.. the WNBA
I think the reason that they didn’t want her on the team is because she’s actually the best player in the entire WNBA and all the other women are just mad that they’re not as good as her
The success of the Kardhasians, all the Housewives series, The Bachelor tell you all you need to know about how petty women can be. USA basketball would be one of the biggest stories of the Olympics with Caitlin Clark on the team. Without her, no one gives a shit.
This how woman role, they see other women as competition. It's ingrain in there DNA to see other women as a threat, even when the woman is helping them.
@@2pugmanthat's exactly what it is. You got the women who represent the LGBT in the WNBA who are racist towards you because she straight. Then the black women who represents players in the WNBA don't like her because white. The last time I checked, hating someone because of the color of their skin isn't call jealousy.
As an outsider….i never watched a single WNBA game ever until I saw Caitlin Clark play in college and get drafted. To see all these frauds and envious humans treat her the way she has been treated says a lot about the wnba, race and the pathetic human spirit on display. Hate has taken a new meaning in the WNBA . Refreshingly though just watching Caitlin handle the unfairness and all the adversity gives me utmost pleasure. I will only watch her games.
I’m a Brit, we don’t do basketball, we do other sports. Here on RUclips however even a number of nut on this sport can see she’s stunningly good, charismatic play is evident. I have no understanding of the politics in this sport but maybe it’s time to get some male management at the top. Meanwhile I do enjoy watching her skill.
From the Philippines..i've never known any player from WNBA since i have watched Caitlin Clark tremendous playing. Now i keep on searching her all games and those controversies within WNBA. Now, she's changing the face of the game. I am truly now a fan of her.
they are all HATERS, if Caitlin was black she would be the face of everything, of every company, 2024 Olympics, and WMBA, the just haters, they know she is the GOAT!
It's interesting to me that a league with a lot of financial troubles is being controlled by nepotism, barring off people that aren't in the "in-group".
I'm from South Africa and a big fan of the NBA haven't really watched the WNBA until Caitlin Clark came into the picture, team USA really fumbled on this one🤞
They left Caitlin off the team and Turasi did not even play in the paris olympics final game. And honestly USA got lucky down the stretch. So we were pretty weak. Better think better next time and bring them on by their current merits. Caitlin belonged on that USA team. envy at its finest.
You left out the part that the reason Caitlin had low scoring against the Olympic Team was because the Olympic Team was double teaming Caitlyn! They knew she was a huge threat!
At the same time as they were trash-talking about Caitlin not being good enough, she was calmly and methodically smashing rookie-records and created a new one by being the only rookie to score a triple-double. What's really amusing is that she's done it in only the first half of this season, so who knows how many other records she'll smash during the remainder of the season. By keeping CC and LH from being part of the Olympics it has created a very beneficial situation for the Fever. While other teams have players tied up in the Olympics, the Fever has their entire roster at home. After a few day of relax-time all of the Fever players are having practices for the remainder of the Olympic Break. The first thing Sides did when relax-time was over was have a private meeting with CC. I agree with Mick's take on that on his channel. She's asking CC what she needs to happen with the team to create better play-chemistry with CC and asking her for input on practices to achieve that goal. One of the problems the Fever had was little practice time before starting a heavy schedule for the season. Most of the team-integration that's happened so far with CC on the team has had to happen through trial and error in games, and AB seems to be the only one who's been able to form decent play-chemistry with CC. Now that they have some practice time, they can focus on key integration factors like NS not having fumble-fingers when CC passes her to ball. When the team returns to season-play after the break, I'm hoping to see significant improvements in play-chemistry. If Sides can get NS to match up with the play-chemistry that AB has formed with CC, those three players can become a triangle of death on offense. If Sides can get LH and KLS to improve their percentages for distance-shooting, they can shoot over zones that defenses use to try to stop the CC-AB-NS machine from operating in the paint. One interesting thing to see is how TF integrates coming off of her injury. She'd healed enough to be able to participate in a couple of practices just before the break, so if she returns to the court with the total of practices going on she could be a huge X-factor for the Fever in term of Sides letting CC get more rest-time during games, instead of having to keep her on the court for most of a game. While other teams have players unavailable for practices during the Olympic Break, the Fever is filing their fangs and sharpening their claws. This could make the remainder of the season very interesting.
Taurasi may have been the GOAT until now but as Michael Jordan said: "there's a new Sheriff in town". Caitlin is a mix of Jordan, Magic and Bird and her mentality, confidence and desire to win is at the level of these 3, a complete player with an unbreakable mentality only at the level of legends, she dominates in her Rookie year, which There is no limit to what she can do in the coming years, and leaving her out for the Olympics should be considered a crime, certainly a player to watch in the coming years. greetings from Portugal.❤
Caitlin Clark reminds me of a player from the late 1960s and 1970s -- "Pistol Pete" Maravich, who could shoot baskets from the next county and zing amazing passes as well. Watch some of his game films and you'll see the similarity. And by the way, he was left off the U.S. Olympic Team, too.
@@arnaldotanta3630 Glad to hear that. Not everybody today knows who he is. And yes, Pistol Pete was amazing -- yet never got to play on the U.S. Olympic Team. Neither did Rick Mount, another college phenom.
I considered giving the WNBA a chance for the first time in my existence. They completely fumbled this opportunity not just for me, but for many casual sports fans. My feelings towards the WNBA had previously been feelings of indifference and simply being uninterested. Due to the way they handled this massive opportunity, I now harbor feelings of actual negative sentiment towards the league. This is not how I wanted to feel. I wanted to embrace this moment in women's sport history, but the league and their biggest names did everything they could to assure me that women's basketball didn't want Caitlyn Clark to elevate them to new levels. Mission accomplished.
The way the nba treats Wemby vs the way the wnba treats Caitlyn Clark is gonna be a case study someday. Same draft class, similar level of hype, entirely different treatment from the league
Catlin clark IS NOT among the top 5 scores IS NOT among the top 5 in 3 pointers made NOWHERE TO BE FOUND among top REBOUNDERS BLOCKS SHES 5TH in steals and 4TH IN ASSISTS So, PLENTY OF WNBA PLAYERS are having a BIGGER IMPACT on the game than Catlin Clark...

It seems JEALOUSY was behind the selection decision instead of choosing the BEST ATHLETES. What a disgusting & foolish decision, that will always be remembered by ALL WNBA fans and EX FANS & Junior players.
Go Caitlin!! Thank you for shaking up the WNBA. She is the reason why my family, friends, colleagues and I watch now. Love the hang time on her 3pointers, love her team support attitude, love how she hustles and her resilience is phenomenal. Not to mention beautiful, stylish and a great smile. I enjoy many of the other players but Caitlin stands out. She reminds me and probably many of us fans of all of us who are great at what we do and who have withstood the trials and difficulties that are put in our paths And incredibly we all still plow through. Caitlin, hang in their young lady. There is a purpose for all the hard work.
@@doksh5740 Nah, I think Bird is a better analogy. Jordan was the rock star, the showman. 360 dunks from the free throw line. Bird was the assist man, the solid player, not flashy but always delivered when it counted. When they put together the Dream Team in 1992, Jordan took a back seat to Bird and Magic because he knew who he was playing with.
@@doksh5740Bird brought a lot of popularity to the NBA in the 80s. The NBA was going into a slump back then and the theory is Bird’s plays style helped save public interest in basketball. He was a great player and it is unfortunate we only got to see him play for 13 years due to injuries
I coached women's 4+ rowing teams many years ago. Rowing is about being in sync, so many aspects coming together, which need to resonate just right in any circumstance. With the first team my selection was based on strength and endurance, thinking the souplesse and synchronicity could be developed. The season failed miserably. I basically had 4 women fighting each other inside the boat, each pointing fingers at the others about what they were doing wrong. I couldn't turn it around. The second (and last) team I coached I picked based on their character. This team turned out to be the smallest and least powerful of the entire competion, but....they were in sync, they actually liked and respected each other. They had souplesse and the only thing we had to work on pre-season was a bit more endurance. This team became the 'comeback squad' of the season, dominating the last 500m as other (stronger, bigger) teams faltered on the syncing part before the finish line. I will always remember a championship in Paris ('96) when we were setting up for the finals and one of my girls yelled out: "Coach, they're HUGE!" Me: "You should know by now it doesn't matter!"
This is the only real reason that CC should have been left off the team. Because it would have caused too much friction between the other players causing more harm than good. That's not her fault, but those players and coaches need to grow up or get out, because they are holding the league back for their own egos.
My niece played against Taurasi in high school. Taurasi had 28 and my niece had 22. She was all CIF. Taurasi impressed me but so did my niece who quit after high school after getting many college offers.
She is very intelligent as well. What type of degrees do the others possess? CC has it all going on and because of that and the fact she is white they treat her with hatred and disrespect. Now whose racist bi*#hes!
When Team USA full court pressed CC you knew it was personal. Best part was the All Star team and CC knew she was having an off night and let her pass and play guard and knew if they got open she was looking for them.
When I saw this, the WNBA look to be emotionally crippled brat children in adult bodies. From the owners through the coaches and players to the officials. Against a woman who didn't trash talk any of them, but whose skills and work ethic WAS better than theirs. I wish everyone would boycott NIKE!
The next 4 or 5 olympic cycles Caitlin Clark gets asked to play for team usa, she should just say: Nah I wasn't good enough to play for you in mine rookie year so I wont play.
To the WNBA: Bla Bla Bla you guys complained about Men's basket ball getting more money then you Bla Bla Bla wanting more increase of income even though you guys play like crap, All i hear for the other WNBA players is Bla Bla Bla, Then finally once Caitlin Clark #The female version of Steph now is blowing you guys out of the water with her gaining popularity, the person who is actually bringing fans to your league so you guys can get paid more is getting all the hate. i didnt hear anything negative from Caitlin Clark, My God she is just a rookie but she is so matured then all the other players who just blabber their mouths all the time in the league
Like the Dems claim "have to keep DT out office" then turn down RFK who was shown to beat DT easy .. ALSO., the Rep n Dems claiming want to end party politics .. End duopoly..RFK running as independent ends duopoly immediately instead both sides trying every tactic to take our vote away
after the way they bring shame on their own league...each and every one of them that complains about not making as much money as men should be fired on the spot and not allowed to ever touch a basketball or get on social media again.
This video reminded me of an old Family Guy cutaway Announcer: “Is this truly worth it? Well that’s for the fan to decide.” One dude in the nosebleeds: “Yaaaaay.”
I’m old. I remember the rivalry between Jabar and Bird. This was an intense rivalry between two great players. It didn’t descend to what is is happening now.
Did the WNBA blow it by leaving Caitlin Clark off the team?
Hi
WNBA needs new leadership. If they can’t see the potential in Caitlin then something is wrong for the top down.
Absolutely. The world wanted to see her on that stage
It's about winning not popularity

Here’s the truth. I know Caitlin Clark. I don’t know one single other player that they mentioned throughout this entire video. Not one. I never heard of any of them until this video but I have heard of Caitlin Clark. When someone mentions another name in the WNBA, I am always finding myself asking the same question. “WHO DAT?”

It makes me pretty frustrated how many people do nothing and live an easy life high up in the hierarchy. I find it a pathetic display of the species.
No need to make money if you can force another league to give you money just cause you exist.

After squeaking out a one point win, no need to "win a Gold Medal" either, apparently.
No need to be concerned with making money if you force another league to allow you to exist 😂

@AnvilPro100 the only people who care is yall cc fans it a exhibition match fun for usa serious for wnba cc had 4 points assist only count of someone makes the shot so her teammates make her look good
@@chachadingogoreo921do you actually watch the games. Do you realize that it's a business and any other business would fold if they lost 10 million per year
The Oregon Ducks beat them as well a few years ago
@@chachadingogoreo921 Team USA was face guarding CC full court even when she didn't have the ball. Sounds pretty serious to me that they wanted to win by any means. Some exhibition!
@@MelvinLew doode your opinion won't change things go live life cc fans make me hate basketball fr
Not only has Caitlyn embarrassed them on the court, she shows how horrible they are off the court by being humble and courteous in her interviews.
Who is she humbling? She's won nothing yet and the others are gold medalist.
@@wt2972 i didn't say she humbled them . i said, whenever she does an interview SHE IS HUMBLE and courteous about the league and other players, compared to how they conduct themselves when she is mentioned. They barely won that gold and if they didn't snub her because of their egos, and hate she would of had that gold to. probably would of won by a wider margin as well.
@ICottonEyeJoe you're right, I was wrong and the humbling. However barely is still gold. Just ask the men. She wasn't snubbed. If anything, Arike Ogunbowale was snubbed, she's not a rookie, and she's better.
@@wt2972 i agree Arike Ogunbowale is a better pick for a player, but to get more eyes and grow the game you get Caitlyn. Or add both there was plenty of people to pick to replace with them.
@ICottonEyeJoe people around the world love the US team no matter who is on the court. Globally, women's basketball has grown, which is why the gold medal game was close. Like I said before, there are better players. I've watched the WNBA from the beginning. I didn't come because of skin tone. Not saying you, but you have to admit it's because she is white. She's a good player, but the hype is because she is white. That's why so many people who clearly don't watch the league or never been to games are with an opinion. FYI, I'm from Connecticut, so I've seen many greats and watched the battles with Tennessee and Pat Summit. I'm not here as a bandwagon skin tone fan. You clearly are informed so again, not you, but the you know who.
God is GOOD; always be humble and kind. Miss Clark is a wonderful example of both attributes. The haters gonna hate. Miss Clark just loves to play basketball and being a part of a TEAM…look at her assists! She wants her teammates to THRIVE.
I was a former collegiate athlete and latter amateur body builder/physique competitor.
I get it.
She’s all in for her passion!!
What young woman doesn’t benefit from admiring and emulating her QUALITIES.
Always be humble and kind.
I really don't understand the hate against caitlin. wnba and the fans should embrace her.. it's sad what jealousy can do to people
Clark represents the wrong optics.
@@longshot7601 She’s white and straight. 😂
That why women cannot survive together but men in a group even though they hate each others they will come together to survive but women can't.
@@chervang7578 The USWBT situation is indicative of how difficult it is for women to work together. They passed on a huge opportunity for viewship and jersey sales but they let their own emotions get in the way.
I'm okay with turning it into rivalries and stuff. That's what makes good stories. But this seems dumb as hell.
Im dutch. My daughters wanted to go to paris and watch her. Could have sparked lifelong passion and dreams. Without CC they didnt even want to go. CC here would have made so many little european girls want to play you cant even comprehend. We had tickets for that japan-usa game..
Really sorry for the Ethics we have in some sport ... as a 2 time Olympian in triathlon.....this is really sad... I hope your girls continue to be inspired by a great player and she gets to see her.
hope none of you ended up going to the Paris "degeneracy" games.
@@g2vision839 thanks for the thoughtful comment. To be honest we didnt even watch them on TV, just asked and they have no clue about how this USA-team is doing. Meanwhile the girls are still watching Clark video's, maybe even more now. But as an olympian im sure you understand what seeing someone like her live could spark in kids. And you can't say that casually you're a 2x olympian, congratulations on your amazing achievements!
@@fastfootedone no, just asked the girls and they haven't watch any Olympic basketball at all. They still watch CC videos though and just saw them practicing her sidestep jumper. That was beautiful
You avoided a trip to Paris tho😂😂
Australian here, didn’t really care for either men’s or women’s basketball. But since Caitlin started playing, I always look for the Indiana Fever and the highlights. She’s unbelievable.
We have what we call the Tall Poppy Syndrome here, when an athlete is outstanding, we all look for negatives about them.
But when they play for Australia, we don’t give a damn. We support them all the way.
Way to go Caitlin, you’re a world wide outstanding player. Love for Australia 🇦🇺
Totally agree mate😎👍🇦🇺
Agree. I didn’t care about basketball at all until she showed up on scene.
No one did so all these black woman are pissed that a white girl is making it watchable ish.
Thank you for your opinion sir. It's nice to see people in non USA countries being interested in Pro Sports here in the United States.
A big thanks to our friends down under.
They're just so mad that Caitlyn proved what everyone been saying for years. People will watch WNBA when it's worth watching and not a moment sooner.
Im a black man and Clark is awesome and reminds me of Larry Byrd. She changed the game totally
I don’t know why some people should think Caitlyn Clark should be out of the team, even though people say she’s a good basketball player
I agree her court vision is a lot like, Byrd’s.
Both got big ass noses too 😂😂
My dudes... It's Larry Bird. Respect to a legend.
yeah and Clark managed to do what even Bird failed at. I don't know how old you are but Bird took Indiana State to the NCAA finals against a Michigan State team that featured Magic Johnson and 2 other people who were drafted into the NBA. He ALMOST pulled it off but Caitlin actually did it. now if the WNBA would lose the jealousy and embrace the player who is driving up ticket sales, that would be a smart move OR they can drift back into obscurity with crowds in the 300 range and be the lesbian league they've always been . personally I can't believe this girl's range. she's knockin down shots from the NBA 3 point area with people draped all over her. the WNBA should kiss her ass for not already taking 5 million a year to play in Ice-Cube's 3 x 3 league.
I am from the Uk and only started watching US women's basketball because of the exceptional talent of Caitlin and Paige. Just one superstar can propel a sport to international recognition with the appropriate support and publicity. WNBA do not deserve to have success the way they are treating Caitlin.
Don't forget their white shin is so acceptable
@@Icantevenstandit Apparently white people can't jump. Appears they can shoot though.

Loving all the black rage over a white girl kicking their ass in basketball.
I'm from Scotland and i have never heard about Caitlin Clark. After watching the videos about her on this channel has made he a fan of her's. Subbed.
Honestly watching the non-US WNBA absolutely wipe the floor with the “national” team was the best shit that could’ve ever happened. It proved unequivocally that they made a mistake.
Yep...they don't want a white straight woman to be better, but she is.
I'm surprised they held that game, knowing the rep damage a loss to "Clark's team" would mean.
I feel like Arike Ogunbowale should have been mentioned when discussing the WNBA vs Team USA game. She scored 34 points all in the 2nd half, received the game MVP and also previously had removed herself from the Team USA selection claiming it was too political.
She was the best player on the court that day. Could not miss.
Arike personally took herself out of consideration for the team saying she wanted to get away from the politics and drama involved... The she proceeds to torch Team USA in the WNBA All Star Game for 34 points teaming up with CC and AR!
Arike like many other woman should’ve have made a Nigerian team. They could’ve have even competed for gold.
💯
Definitely
Being Dutch and not a real basketball follower, Caitlin Clark made me interested in following this whole upset. She shows her class against all the disrespect she got, Caitlin you truly earned my respect.
That woman that said CC is not one of the 12 best players is foolish at the very least
When that one girl said what is her style? I said beating you in all aspects of the game
These ladies are really mad that Kaitlyn is better than they are
They want to stop her from reaching higher heights. It's sick, tbh.
Okay you Catlin Clark fanatics are delusional. Saying nonsense, that players are jealous of a rookie that hasn't done anything in the league. Like Aja Wilson is concerned about Catlin Clark 🤔. Oh please!

So Taurasi thinks she was good enough to play her rookie year but she thinks Caitlin is not. What a JOKE Jealousy is running rampant in woman’s pro basketball.

Honestly, I knew this sorority sh*t was absolutely bs, but not to this level. This is crazy. Look how absolutely every NBA players praise Wemby.
What do you expect? Lol bunch of women and a lot of them lesbians.
jealousy and toxic behavior is in most of their bloods.
Cc is definitely way classier, likable and a phenom player!
Thats what happens when women get their own sport. Jealous and greedy
yes and we saw how well the greats did in the Olympic games did we not
In regards to Diana Torrisi’s comments, where does she think Caitlin was playing against 18-year-olds in college? She also wasn’t 25 at the time. She was barely 22 her birthday in February. And finally, Diana said that the reason she was picked as a rookie for the Olympic team and Kaitlyn was not was because she said I won three national titles. She won not her team won them. If she was in Caitlin ‘s place playing with Iowa does she think she would led them to three national titles? I kind of think playing with a university that constantly won national championship in women’s basketball made a lot of difference
A lot of people are watching WNBA only when Caitlin Clark is playing😊
So the WNBA as a whole should support her and not hate her.😊😊😊
From New Zealand..So true.
Players and staff are going against her because of media spotlight. It’s not even related to CC and who she is. This is ridiculous and sad to see. There’s nothing more destructive than jealousies women
I started watching BECAUSE CC is playing. I have become a fan of her team.
You applying logic to this? ☕☕ 😂😂😂
What is sad is Caitlin team mates do not back her up when the other team is physically attacking her.
toxic feminists at play...
Toxic Racists at play.
Yeah, I don't get the hate on her. She does her job, isn't cocky at all, doesn't talk shit, doesn't hate on anyone, then shows up and does her job again...very well I might add. I don't see what's not to like. Situations like this is where I think women can be way more vicious than men. Jealousy cuts deep.
@chrisoliver5302 someone didn't watch her in college. Here's a hint for you. Some played against her, and some of their friends did. They remember the disrespect. You get it now? You don't get to be disrespectful then say, "Hey, I'm different now. I take it all back." Kick rock, homie. You understand full well.
@@chrisoliver5302i don't watch basketball often but I believe why people don't like her. It's been too long and too consistent. She's a really good player but her personality seems to suck. Her team mates don't seem to favor her either. Something about her just isn't right. Maybe it's because she makes more money or has more financial backing.
The problem other players have with CC comes from jealousy and racism 100%.
I'm just glad we get to see it in real time so we all know what is really going on and it can't be twisted or manipulated by media. We all see her basically getting tackled and shit. Crazy how it's this bad and people still ain't calling them out for said racism.
angel reese has been the prime perpetrator of hating cairlin clark. she most likely will keep that up and influence other teams players to do the same

Reminds me of what they did with Jordan when he first joined the NBA, then he was the one that changed the game and brought millions of fans to the game and billions of dollars to the NBA. Caitlin Clark can change the MNBA if they stop hating on her.
Difference is that the WNBA can continue to treat CC like sh*t since they don't need to worry about making moneh
Bird and Magic saved the NBA, not Jordan.
They are all snobs. Caitlin is too new to the WNBA. She is too young and pretty. She is white and straight. What it all boils down to is CC is reshaping the landscape of women's basketball and all the established snobs are having their records smashed by Clark. Absolute and total jealousy. Clark is too good too soon in her career and they don't like it. They want to bring her down a peg or two in the pecking order because the veterans feel threatened by her pure talent.
I like Caitlin and all but let's get real, she is an average looking woman at best, she does not have pretty priv😅
@jsholmes, have you seriously looked at some of the mutts in the WNBA? By comparison CC is way above average and THATS what they are all jealous of.
She’s actually won people in the league over by just being genuine and playing WITH her team.
I know her family & her dad would not baby or favor her. If she wanted to play it wasn’t going to be a catered affair and that young lady has EARNED her place.
She’s got a huge amount of scrutiny and pressure on her young shoulders and she has met it with dignity and maturity.
I think she’s been a helluva great influence on young girls and she is a terrific roll model.
The problem is she is new and young, glowing and getting attention! The other women never saw that happen to them... so now they are infected with the mentality of "don't hate me because I'm beautiful". Lets all hate the pretty girl, and we can be the mean girls.

It’s amazing that the WNBA has been around for like 30 years and this is the first time people are really turning out because of CC and the entire league is so pissed about it. That’s literally like the NBA being pissed about Michael Jordan or the PGA being pissed about Tiger Woods. If ever, there was a time for an entire league of professionals to grow up, it is now. It is the WNBA.
A wise woman once told me that American women are inherently jealous and envious of other women by nature and will bite off their collective nose to spite their face. In this case Caitlin Clark as the new face of the WNBA that's lifting them all up.
Outstanding observation and comment!
Their jealousy towards CC is practically eating them alive

USA escaped a loss at the Olympics and were very boring to watch. I rooted for France, they were exciting and showed real basketball. Two super tall USA players did their tricks. You know why we love CC - because she makes it exciting ❤

Don't forget tickets sold, 0

Definitely not the GOAT..
Never was

I guess reality came indeed..
I’m a Caitlin Clark fan - I’m upset she wasn’t selected to the US Team but grateful for her opportunity to get some rest which will make her even more formidable the second half of the season.
after watching three of your videos....yeah im subbing
They kept her out because she is white, straight, young & more skillful & successful than all of them....if that is not discrimination, then I do not know what it is....
that's the ugly truth
When Clark plays, she plays with the whole team. As many times as she puts one in the net herself, she gives the ball to a teammate. She constantly changes her attack method which seems to confuse the other divas she plays against. Caitlin doesn't have to have the most dunkers in the game, the most assists, the most three-pointers, the most steals or the most possessions. For Caitlin, it's about winning and her team winning is more important than what she wins during the game.
She's both physically quicker, and mentally quicker. Those goofy sloths don't know what hit 'em.
Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA is undeniable, even though she continues to receive hate while she is helping to elevate that ungrateful league.
💯
@@eastsider85 Exactly 👍. Thanks for agreeing with me.
because woman are bottom feeders when it comes to other women, woman are not like the male counterpart in regards to sportsmanship.
It's middle school all over again. Girls always jealous of the girl that gets the most attention
It's racist hate against Caitlin.
She can pass, she can dribble, she can rebound (not being a super tall) and she can score and shoot 3s (better than anyone woman in the WNBA) and she can actually make layups as well...lol
I blows my mind. It's not like Clark just started playing 6 months ago. Her body of works spans college and high school.
Fans approve this message 🎉.
A clear discrimation and hatered against Caitlin. Thats what jealously brings, total failure on the WNBA. Instead of cashing in on Caitlin, they hurt her but they hurt themselves.. the WNBA
Clark is the female Larry Byrd.
Make steals and block shots. too.
I think the reason that they didn’t want her on the team is because she’s actually the best player in the entire WNBA and all the other women are just mad that they’re not as good as her
That doesn't make sense ...

As an outsider….i never watched a single WNBA game ever until I saw Caitlin Clark play in college and get drafted. To see all these frauds and envious humans treat her the way she has been treated says a lot about the wnba, race and the pathetic human spirit on display. Hate has taken a new meaning in the WNBA . Refreshingly though just watching Caitlin handle the unfairness and all the adversity gives me utmost pleasure. I will only watch her games.
You never watched a game so for you to really know if she is over hype or a legend in the making seems uninformed.
I’m a Brit, we don’t do basketball, we do other sports. Here on RUclips however even a number of nut on this sport can see she’s stunningly good, charismatic play is evident. I have no understanding of the politics in this sport but maybe it’s time to get some male management at the top. Meanwhile I do enjoy watching her skill.

The BEST of the 2024 Paris Olympics is that Caitlin Clark has been spared that embarrassment
Well said
From the Philippines..i've never known any player from WNBA since i have watched Caitlin Clark tremendous playing. Now i keep on searching her all games and those controversies within WNBA. Now, she's changing the face of the game. I am truly now a fan of her.
I fully agree. 🇵🇭
they are all HATERS, if Caitlin was black she would be the face of everything, of every company, 2024 Olympics, and WMBA, the just haters, they know she is the GOAT!
Notice how nobody comments on this? Almost as if they believe, deep down, that you are 100% right
They are right! We all know it some have the balls to say it!!!!
It's interesting to me that a league with a lot of financial troubles is being controlled by nepotism, barring off people that aren't in the "in-group".
I'm from South Africa and a big fan of the NBA haven't really watched the WNBA until Caitlin Clark came into the picture, team USA really fumbled on this one🤞
They left Caitlin off the team and Turasi did not even play in the paris olympics final game. And honestly USA got lucky down the stretch. So we were pretty weak. Better think better next time and bring them on by their current merits. Caitlin belonged on that USA team. envy at its finest.
They did not need her nor is 20 games into a rookie season to be added , final result another Olympic gold for the women
It would be kinda funny if the crowds at the Olympics would start chanting caitlen... caitlen...caitlen during the usa games in paris😅
🤣
Jealousy is pretty ugly..
You left out the part that the reason Caitlin had low scoring against the Olympic Team was because the Olympic Team was double teaming Caitlyn! They knew she was a huge threat!
like all WNBA teams.
Both Angel and CC should have been on that team. People are sleeping on Team USA because of this idiotic decision
USWBT is supposed to be sending the US's best. The All-Star game proved that might not be true.
Look at how disgusting Paris has made the Olympics. Maybe it's best Caitlin not be highlighted in it.
Disband the league snd start over again! It should of been a fan*s game from the beginning 😊. Not a oldies but goodie society!
The whole rivalry thing is stupid. Reese acted like a clown towards Caitlin. Caitlin just pushed back as she does with everyone that disses her.
@@SM-db6ft tf u on about lol
Potential and facts cannot be denied. Even from a scientific standpoint. Let alone feelings. Team USA was humbled by “rookies.”
you ask any woman who they would rather work for back in the 80s and 90s and 90% would tell you a man!
At the same time as they were trash-talking about Caitlin not being good enough, she was calmly and methodically smashing rookie-records and created a new one by being the only rookie to score a triple-double. What's really amusing is that she's done it in only the first half of this season, so who knows how many other records she'll smash during the remainder of the season.
By keeping CC and LH from being part of the Olympics it has created a very beneficial situation for the Fever. While other teams have players tied up in the Olympics, the Fever has their entire roster at home. After a few day of relax-time all of the Fever players are having practices for the remainder of the Olympic Break. The first thing Sides did when relax-time was over was have a private meeting with CC. I agree with Mick's take on that on his channel. She's asking CC what she needs to happen with the team to create better play-chemistry with CC and asking her for input on practices to achieve that goal. One of the problems the Fever had was little practice time before starting a heavy schedule for the season. Most of the team-integration that's happened so far with CC on the team has had to happen through trial and error in games, and AB seems to be the only one who's been able to form decent play-chemistry with CC. Now that they have some practice time, they can focus on key integration factors like NS not having fumble-fingers when CC passes her to ball.
When the team returns to season-play after the break, I'm hoping to see significant improvements in play-chemistry. If Sides can get NS to match up with the play-chemistry that AB has formed with CC, those three players can become a triangle of death on offense. If Sides can get LH and KLS to improve their percentages for distance-shooting, they can shoot over zones that defenses use to try to stop the CC-AB-NS machine from operating in the paint. One interesting thing to see is how TF integrates coming off of her injury. She'd healed enough to be able to participate in a couple of practices just before the break, so if she returns to the court with the total of practices going on she could be a huge X-factor for the Fever in term of Sides letting CC get more rest-time during games, instead of having to keep her on the court for most of a game.
While other teams have players unavailable for practices during the Olympic Break, the Fever is filing their fangs and sharpening their claws. This could make the remainder of the season very interesting.
Taurasi may have been the GOAT until now but as Michael Jordan said: "there's a new Sheriff in town". Caitlin is a mix of Jordan, Magic and Bird and her mentality, confidence and desire to win is at the level of these 3, a complete player with an unbreakable mentality only at the level of legends, she dominates in her Rookie year, which There is no limit to what she can do in the coming years, and leaving her out for the Olympics should be considered a crime, certainly a player to watch in the coming years. greetings from Portugal.❤
Caitlin Clark reminds me of a player from the late 1960s and 1970s -- "Pistol Pete" Maravich, who could shoot baskets from the next county and zing amazing passes as well. Watch some of his game films and you'll see the similarity. And by the way, he was left off the U.S. Olympic Team, too.

I considered giving the WNBA a chance for the first time in my existence. They completely fumbled this opportunity not just for me, but for many casual sports fans. My feelings towards the WNBA had previously been feelings of indifference and simply being uninterested. Due to the way they handled this massive opportunity, I now harbor feelings of actual negative sentiment towards the league. This is not how I wanted to feel. I wanted to embrace this moment in women's sport history, but the league and their biggest names did everything they could to assure me that women's basketball didn't want Caitlyn Clark to elevate them to new levels. Mission accomplished.
Yeah, but now I'm totally entertained by the salt.
The league should be ashamed of themselves. Very unprofessional and overall disrespectful.
The way the nba treats Wemby vs the way the wnba treats Caitlyn Clark is gonna be a case study someday. Same draft class, similar level of hype, entirely different treatment from the league
Always uplifting to see an underdog make it

Go Caitlin!! Thank you for shaking up the WNBA. She is the reason why my family, friends, colleagues and I watch now. Love the hang time on her 3pointers, love her team support attitude, love how she hustles and her resilience is phenomenal. Not to mention beautiful, stylish and a great smile. I enjoy many of the other players but Caitlin stands out. She reminds me and probably many of us fans of all of us who are great at what we do and who have withstood the trials and difficulties that are put in our paths And incredibly we all still plow through. Caitlin, hang in their young lady. There is a purpose for all the hard work.
Caitlin Clark brings to WNBA what Larry Bird brought to NBA
Nope, you mean Micheal Jordan, dear
@@doksh5740 Nah, I think Bird is a better analogy. Jordan was the rock star, the showman. 360 dunks from the free throw line. Bird was the assist man, the solid player, not flashy but always delivered when it counted. When they put together the Dream Team in 1992, Jordan took a back seat to Bird and Magic because he knew who he was playing with.
@@doksh5740 New to basketball?
@@doksh5740Bird brought a lot of popularity to the NBA in the 80s. The NBA was going into a slump back then and the theory is Bird’s plays style helped save public interest in basketball. He was a great player and it is unfortunate we only got to see him play for 13 years due to injuries
Because she is white like Bird, there I said it.
I coached women's 4+ rowing teams many years ago. Rowing is about being in sync, so many aspects coming together, which need to resonate just right in any circumstance. With the first team my selection was based on strength and endurance, thinking the souplesse and synchronicity could be developed. The season failed miserably. I basically had 4 women fighting each other inside the boat, each pointing fingers at the others about what they were doing wrong. I couldn't turn it around.
The second (and last) team I coached I picked based on their character. This team turned out to be the smallest and least powerful of the entire competion, but....they were in sync, they actually liked and respected each other. They had souplesse and the only thing we had to work on pre-season was a bit more endurance. This team became the 'comeback squad' of the season, dominating the last 500m as other (stronger, bigger) teams faltered on the syncing part before the finish line. I will always remember a championship in Paris ('96) when we were setting up for the finals and one of my girls yelled out: "Coach, they're HUGE!" Me: "You should know by now it doesn't matter!"
This is the only real reason that CC should have been left off the team. Because it would have caused too much friction between the other players causing more harm than good. That's not her fault, but those players and coaches need to grow up or get out, because they are holding the league back for their own egos.
I would like to see CC take her team and win a national title. That ring would mean so much more.❤
My niece played against Taurasi in high school. Taurasi had 28 and my niece had 22. She was all CIF. Taurasi impressed me but so did my niece who quit after high school after getting many college offers.
They're hating on Caitlin because she has a boyfriend and she is THAT DAMN GOOD.
She is very intelligent as well. What type of degrees do the others possess?
CC has it all going on and because of that and the fact she is white they treat her with hatred and disrespect. Now whose racist bi*#hes!
What is a Boyfriend? They don't really know? 😂.
so all of this hate towards her is because she's not gay? WTF!
@@gailmartens-o6n And not Black
They should show the All Stars team destroyed the USA team
When Team USA full court pressed CC you knew it was personal. Best part was the All Star team and CC knew she was having an off night and let her pass and play guard and knew if they got open she was looking for them.
When I saw this, the WNBA look to be emotionally crippled brat children in adult bodies. From the owners through the coaches and players to the officials. Against a woman who didn't trash talk any of them, but whose skills and work ethic WAS better than theirs. I wish everyone would boycott NIKE!
The next 4 or 5 olympic cycles Caitlin Clark gets asked to play for team usa, she should just say: Nah I wasn't good enough to play for you in mine rookie year so I wont play.
You don't automatically make the team goofy.
She should but nothing indicates that she is that kind of petty.
To the WNBA: Bla Bla Bla you guys complained about Men's basket ball getting more money then you Bla Bla Bla wanting more increase of income even though you guys play like crap, All i hear for the other WNBA players is Bla Bla Bla, Then finally once Caitlin Clark #The female version of Steph now is blowing you guys out of the water with her gaining popularity, the person who is actually bringing fans to your league so you guys can get paid more is getting all the hate. i didnt hear anything negative from Caitlin Clark, My God she is just a rookie but she is so matured then all the other players who just blabber their mouths all the time in the league
Like the Dems claim "have to keep DT out office" then turn down RFK who was shown to beat DT easy .. ALSO., the Rep n Dems claiming want to end party politics .. End duopoly..RFK running as independent ends duopoly immediately instead both sides trying every tactic to take our vote away
after the way they bring shame on their own league...each and every one of them that complains about not making as much money as men should be fired on the spot and not allowed to ever touch a basketball or get on social media again.
I never watched a single game, but I watch the Fever games just to watch Clark “Shut People Up”.
It's like the old saying a bucket of crabs once one gets to the top the rest of the bucket pulls it back down 😂😂😂
"What is her style? Just 3s?" Her style is winning the damn game.
Leaving clark and Reese off the women’s Olympic team was such a dumb decision 😂😂
I like your style of commenting on the games❤
If WNBA players got the same percentage of revenue..........they would have to pay to play.
Revenue is not the same as profit
Notice they asked for the same % of REVENUE, not profits. There is revenue, but that revenue doesn't cover expenses.
@@davidr9876 they are asking for revenue, but asking for revenue when the league loses money doesn't seem great to anyone except them.
This video reminded me of an old Family Guy cutaway
Announcer: “Is this truly worth it? Well that’s for the fan to decide.”
One dude in the nosebleeds: “Yaaaaay.”
I’m old. I remember the rivalry between Jabar and Bird. This was an intense rivalry between two great players. It didn’t descend to what is is happening now.
big difference between men and women
@@pgroove163true, still a team sport🤷♂️
