Unrivaled wants CC to join a new league of teams with players and coaches not yet assigned. Teams with no geographic location. At the same time, the league wants to pay CC the largest salary by far to do what? ENSURE the league's success! But what happens if the league fails anyway? Which it might b/c 3x3 BB is not popular in the states and the league would also be competing with the NBA, the NFL playoffs, and the NHL. Fair or not, CC would get the lioness's share of the blame if Unrivaled failed. Why should CC take on that risky burden?!
@@balkanyankee3657 I agree with all your very intelligent points - how does the league intend to foster a connection between teams, players and fans? CC would seem to be the person they would use to provide the emotional connection. However, she would be playing in a small subset of games. I can't see the league surviving too long even with CC, as the airwaves are redolent with basketball. I would also ask, will this basketball format highlight CC's skills? I would be far more fascinated to see CC play, in Iowa, in a six-on-six traditional basketball format that was extant until the 1990s. I would agree this would not highlight CC's particular skills either! However, it would be fun to see her play in this traditional game. The history of woman's basketball in Iowa is captivating.
It would give those who wish to do her harm cover. I do not think the WNBA could do anything if something happens in the unrivaled..... But if I was her agent I'd get promises in writing with league purchased insurance....
I didn't know a lot about him except, of course, that he was the Uconn women's coach, and they've been more than a little successful 😅 Then I saw some of his off the chain comments on Clark ... ouch. I'm trying to remember any other elite coach speaking about players that way. Something wrong with that guy.
Exactly 🎯 Plus why should she be used as their ca$h cow, let them start the league off on their own, if it takes off successfully maybe CC would join them on their 3rd year and after she's settled into the WNBA.
They are offering her a million dollars,plus partial ownership.It's only a couple months.Several of her good friends,are in it.I can see why she might do it
BS….. there are even more players that could hurt her in wnba than this league so she might as well get paid over a million for 8 weeks rather than 70k for 5 months. She’s playing same players in both leagues. Both leagues stink. She should make her money everywhere she can.
@@kylewarren8065 Exactly. Thus narrative is ridiculous even for a CC Stan like myself. She just needs fair treatment like anyone else on the court. She's q hooper not a fucking ballerina.

Proof they don't care what she wants. They built this league that won't fly without her, signed everyone else up to it, and now are looking at her to join it, lest she let everyone down.

They need to blame the players that publicly said it's not worth having her in the W because of her fans for her not joining Unrivaled, and those players that treated her like garbage on and off the court. Respect should be earned.

TSpoon is one of the coaches in Unrivaled. I still hope and pray that CC stays away from this disaster of a league, because Carrington might actually hurt Caitlin again so she cannot play for the Fever next season and actually have to sit out due to injury. Unrivaled is trying to use Kate, Lexie, AB to push Caitlin to join their league. Stewart does not want Caitlin playing in their league, but TNT does, because of the ratings Caitlin can bring to their network.

@@FUBAR1986 So why would Anyone want to listen to Clark as an announcer on a reality/sports formatted TV show? I want to see her play. I do not want to be given an insight into players lives, having already had my fill of some playing their race card, not realizing that the Uno reverse cancels and exposes these individuals as small minded liars and petty jealous women. Girls, D'elores says "break a leg !".
Exactly. None of them have apologized to CC fans, for making these hateful and defamatory comments. They need CC and her millions on fans, and their wallets. Nope.
Clark's brand is too valuable to be gambled on a reality show disguised as a BB league bordering on a tournament with so few games. The reality show aspect seems contrary to her personality. She doesn't purposefully seek attention. The coaches may want to create controversy for the sake of entertainment.
Remember the situation where Bobby was "dead" all season and in the season finale, he shows up in Pam's shower, and they said that whole thing was a dream?! What a weird way to deal with that. ROFL!
CC knew from childhood what she wanted in her future. Watching her at the Annika women's leadership conference it was obvious that she is incredibly mentally tough and will not succumb to pressure.
Why would she support those who were determined to injure and slander her? She should continue to practice, golf, relax, and enjoy herself to be ready to bring Indiana a championship.
Have such a gut feeling that at first they did not want her... then TNT forced them into getting Caitlin Clark and they said they would get her... but Caitlin has NEVER liked or played 3 on 3 so she always said no... then they even changed if from half court to a smaller full cort 3 on 3. Caitlin does not want to but they just keep pushing her to join. I hope she does not join. The worst people to her this year are in this 3 on 3 league. Alyssa Thomas, DiJonai Carrington, Geno Auriemma, T'Spoon, Angel Reese, and other players. Hope she stays out of it. DiJonai Carrington gouged her in the eye and everyone saw it but everyone was suppose to believe it was not on purpose. So when she gets injured from someone on Unrivaled it will be the same thing... no one say anything it is just a basketball play.
And she would have to deal with more of Reese being mentioned in the same breath as CC. According to WNBA Reese is just as good.I am here for it. LoL! LPGA is giving her the love and respect she deserves.
Love the JR reference. 😂😂😂 Adrienne, I agree with your analysis. What makes me say Caitlin will not play Unrivaled is the arena. It only holds 850 seats. CC is all about basketball and the fans. How is this venue going to accommodate 17,000 fans. UNRIVALED is not going to be worried about CC/Fever fan base. With only 850 seats these are going to be expensive tickets. How else are they going to make money? I think they are using CC name to keep people interested in Unrivaled. Caitlin isn’t going to say anything about her decision. CC would leave that up to the Unrivaled organization.
Clark has morals and values that's kept her from responding in the same manner but she doesn't kneel unless she's praying. Don't abuse someone who you want to be on your side
There is no way they are still negotiating with Clark while simultaneously having a back-up player ready to go in case she declines. I believe they already know CC’s decision.
I think Caitlin told them “no”, but they asked her to keep that to herself, so they could milk the possibility. This podcast, Adrienne, is the perfect example of why they asked her to stay quiet.
The thing I find interesting in it all, Cailtin has remained radio silent about the whole Unrivalled matter. Apart from her end of season interview saying she was not playing in the off season. You would think she is aware of all the chatter but has chosen not to respond either way.
Caitlin Clark stringing Unrivaled along is like a boxer fighting a big trash talker who angered him. He doesn't knock him out right away, he punishes and cuts him up a lot first, humiliates him
I think CC is allowing UNRIVAL to use her ambiguousness for promotion , because she wants to help her friends. CC wants to help Kate and Lexi( & A.B) make money .Btw ,why are they not going after " The best basketball player in the world"? Their MVP ,Aja Wilson?😂
If CC plays then you also get A’ja Wilson. Or so it has been rumored. I find that extremely interesting if true. I miss watching CC hoop, but not enough to want her in Unrivaled. It’s too risky!
That woule be such a huge mistake for Caitlin to expose herself to those hateful thugs and their flagrant fouls during the offseason. She needs to chill and prepare for the next W season.
I do not think the 1M is very significant for CC. Almost a insult. CC was said to make 1M off of a few hours of work signing those Panini Trading Cards that sold in a short period of time. It was record breaking for Panini. CC also makes a significant amount of money speaking online to Corporations.
She also doesn’t care about money that much. She refused a lot of money in college that most good players take. Not NIL but other funding. She’s happy with her Nike contract but all I hear is her “fans” say how stupid she was to not take more money. Everyone wants to dictate her life choices and it’s weird. She’s 22 years old. I have kids older than her and I’d be really frustrated to hear all these random adults try to tell them what to do with their lives. Especially a daughter.
I will bank on it, that Caitlin Clark isn’t even thinking of joining the Unrivaled League. I believe that Caitlin Clark isn’t going to do anything to risk getting injured outside of her training in the offseason.
I think Unrivaled needs Ben Daniel in a full on 70's WKRP in Cinncinati Venus Flytrap pimp suit doing the announcing and play by play. Make it happen! That would be worth the time to watch.
The link is 10 weeks. It starts January 17 which means it would end mid April. That’s so close to season. I can’t imagine her playing and she spent a whole year away from her boyfriend and I think she has the love bug. She’s traveling to Arizona to watch Butler play a tournamentArizona for Thanksgiving. She was at the game last night. I don’t know if she’s willing to spend 10 weeks away from him and from training.
Miss leading headline, didn't anyone listen to Caitlyn Clark's exit interview? She is not playing basketball in the off-season, She is going to play golf and practice For the upcoming basketball season.
Doesn’t sound like they be playing in a bb arena, heard it’s a sound stage, heard capacity is 850 seats max, so them “tickets sold” will be a pre selected tv “audience” with a smattering of celebrities thrown in for the WOW factor. In other words, it’s the drama they selling (the arguments, the alliances, the fights) and bb is incidental.
Caitlin got to see firsthand that the golf world has no issue, embracing her with love and respect….. It’s a walk into second career for her…. I am sure that there’s already in the works for her to have her own Pro-Am tournament that raises money for her causes….. I could see her doing that throughout the off-season… till weather doesn’t permit…. Hopefully Caitlin has someone in her ear with this kind of advice, what an easy choice
I will watch U cuz i need to fill the space until the W comes back. But i SO dont want her to go. She deserves a break from the noise. And the hate. Which will come
I think they are still trying to convince her , or they know the answer is a definite no and want the publicity from speculation. I would watch if she plays, but I hope she doesn’t.
Participating in the "Unrivaled" league would significantly reduce Caitlins time in the gym which SHE wants in order to work on and refine her game. She said at. the begining of the 2024 season that one thing that she had a hard time dealing with was the fact that it is very difficult to improve yourself while you are in season because you don't have quality gym time to work on your game. The kid is making almost 4 million dollars per year right now so she does not need the money, and she is focused on a personal development plan.
She can say no all she wants. Dude is trying to hype the league as if she’ll be there when she hasn’t agreed to anything. Caitlyn should continue living her best life and hitting the gym. She played a lot of ball this year and deserves a break.
Caitlin is loving life. She’s playing golf, supporting Iowa’s team , hanging with friends, massively marketing her wonderful self. She has never said she wanted to play for Unrivaled. She has consistently said no. They are again using Caitlin’s name for promotion.
I, like you, think that if they are teasing us until the last moment and she IS playing, then they have missed a HUGE opportunity to get back whatever salary they have offered Caitlin, by marketing that she is playing. I think word of mouth alone - social media (if they had announced she WAS playing) would have brought them many more eyeballs. It's possible she has asked that she not make any final decision until after the LPGA tour, so that she is not hounded about Unrivaled while she plays golf, or because she wants to see how she feels, physically and mentally, after playing golf. Or maybe she asked for her name not be announced till after the golf tournament. The fact that they are saying they have given her till the last moment to decide, could mean CC really doesn't know what to do. I guess it would be a bit awkward if she was on a team with Angel Reese and D'Jay. If it's full court 3 on 3 then they are all going to be in great shape after the tournament, but I would like to see CC decline this year, and avoid any more rivalry and "noise" until next season. I hope she makes sure she is reasonably rested and is fit and strong for next season.
Caitlin can clear this up in a heartbeat with 2 words either "I'm in" or "i'm out". She is letting Unrivaled blow in the wind by not drawing a line in the sand. Whatever her decision it will be right for her.
If she would get so much more money the rest of the players would really be mad, I can't imagine how they would treat her, they treat her bad enough the way it is. I would think they would try to hurt her to get even and show her.
Unrivaled is just novelty TV, like bikini football, beach volleyball, indoor soccer, etcetera. Anything can get on tv if some exec gives it the green light. If it succeeds they make money, if it fails, tax write off. Reality tv is cheap to produce with big payoff if successful.
I think since they dislike her so much, they need to show the world that it's not CC bringing attention to them. Over at the WNBA, they're claiming, it's not because of CC but "me too". She needs to let them do this on their own. Let them draw their own crowds since "they're so amazing". If they'd welcomed her like the golfing people did....I would be all for it. But these "women" have been offensive towards her and her fans. They've snubbed her time and time again. I say, she don't owe them anything! Seriously! smh
Adrienne, Loved your two sayings in this reel. I remember them. I so enjoy the reels that you publish. Very enjoyable and informative! Have you ever thought about teaching some of us about some plays in basketball and responsibility of each position? Just thought!
It’s been said that the fever doesn’t want her to play so that’s the 2nd biggest reason that she’s not gonna play. What’s funny is that the fever haven’t said that about Boston or Lexie lol. They absolutely know where their bread is buttered
My opinion, I think Caitlin has said No! They Need to keep her name in it, to keep people interested. Personally, I will Not be watching it either way because there is way Too Much Drama. Maybe Caitlin is teaching them a lesson, to let them think about how Bad they treated her. Her comment "eventually" might be the next year or two, or maybe never! Weatherspoon as coach, is likely to steer people Away. People know she sacrificed Many games for the Team, to "promote" Reese. I wonder if Christy Sides is on their panel of decision-making😂
I wish the league well, and I wish whatever is best for Caitlyn Clark. I have other things that I need to work on now. I am tired of all the clips about her playing in Europe without supporting evidence. I have listened to clips about how upset the WNBA is without hearing about anything they have said. The same with Larry Bird saying something and not showing anything. Lots of click bait and no substance. I am thankful for and really appreciate your channel Adriene!!!
While I'm confident that all players won't make the same salary in Unrivaled, best guess is all will make at least six figures, with some making around $250K. And players get an equity share in the league, and again I would guess that ranges from 1% to 3% (maybe less) depending on the status of the player (just a guess). So what would they give CC to sign and lift the league to fantastics heights. Maybe $1M and 10%. Again, just a guess and yours is as good as mine. And anyone playing in the league who might resent giving her this kind of deal just doesn't understand entertainment celebrity. Like it or not, CC is a SuperStar, and many, myself included, would never watch this league without her.
"Will she or won't she?" It keeps them in the news, draws attention, keeps people talking about them, maintains interest. Look how much people are talking about whether she will or not.
I believe the only way CC will play in Unravelled, would be for some of the legacy players to finally break down and go to her, and finally make amends to her and give her her dues and maybe even apologize. If they did that in good spirit, then she would do it for them, she's nice that way. If you ask me though, don't do it CC! Stay away, not worth the risk to your health!
If she wanted to play, she would have told them yes. She doesn’t seem like a person who would waffle around. The owners want her so they can make more money. She should go south, play some golf. Continue with her workouts and practice in the gym. She also needs to pay some attention to her Foundation and business dealings. Relax.
How is offering Caitlin a million dollars a “Messi like deal”? Caitlin makes a hundred thousand for a half hour zoom motivational speech and up to a quarter of a million for an in person two hour speech and question and answer session. A million dollars is chump change. Give Caitlin a ten million offer to play and then she might say yes. Money talks.
I'm a subscriber because I know you will give me real news and the verified straight stuff. I trust the crap out of you, Adrienne. Thanks for this update.
People watch because of more than one person. Let them watch the 36. Those that were announced early on are probably annoyed at CC if the hold up is unrivaled waiting for her to say yes. If she said no, she said no. Leave her be and show us how great all 36 of you are

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
CC knew from childhood what she wanted in her future. Watching her at the Annika women's leadership conference it was obvious that she is incredibly mentally tough and will not succumb to pressure.
I pray so!
Sure she can say no. She's already a multi-millionnaire. Add to that the fact that the LPGA is courting her.
Why would she support those who were determined to injure and slander her? She should continue to practice, golf, relax, and enjoy herself to be ready to bring Indiana a championship.
Have such a gut feeling that at first they did not want her... then TNT forced them into getting Caitlin Clark and they said they would get her... but Caitlin has NEVER liked or played 3 on 3 so she always said no... then they even changed if from half court to a smaller full cort 3 on 3. Caitlin does not want to but they just keep pushing her to join. I hope she does not join. The worst people to her this year are in this 3 on 3 league. Alyssa Thomas, DiJonai Carrington, Geno Auriemma, T'Spoon, Angel Reese, and other players. Hope she stays out of it. DiJonai Carrington gouged her in the eye and everyone saw it but everyone was suppose to believe it was not on purpose. So when she gets injured from someone on Unrivaled it will be the same thing... no one say anything it is just a basketball play.
And she would have to deal with more of Reese being mentioned in the same breath as CC. According to WNBA Reese is just as good.I am here for it. LoL! LPGA is giving her the love and respect she deserves.
I could see them putting CC and Reese on a team together 🤨
Love the JR reference. 😂😂😂 Adrienne, I agree with your analysis. What makes me say Caitlin will not play Unrivaled is the arena. It only holds 850 seats. CC is all about basketball and the fans. How is this venue going to accommodate 17,000 fans. UNRIVALED is not going to be worried about CC/Fever fan base. With only 850 seats these are going to be expensive tickets. How else are they going to make money? I think they are using CC name to keep people interested in Unrivaled. Caitlin isn’t going to say anything about her decision. CC would leave that up to the Unrivaled organization.
Clark has morals and values that's kept her from responding in the same manner but she doesn't kneel unless she's praying.
Don't abuse someone who you want to be on your side
If there's a reality show connected to it there's no way she would do it.
There is no way they are still negotiating with Clark while simultaneously having a back-up player ready to go in case she declines.
I believe they already know CC’s decision.
"Piss or get off the pot."
I'm getting to the point where I'd prefer Unrivaled falls into the bowl and swirls on down into the darkness.
Please no to unrivaled
I think Caitlin told them “no”, but they asked her to keep that to herself, so they could milk the possibility.
This podcast, Adrienne, is the perfect example of why they asked her to stay quiet.
"who shot Jr?"...lol, you brought me back//
Dallas the tv series lol I had to look it up since I never was into those things lol 😂😂😂
Refereeing and security haven't been mentioned.
Could be a contract negotiating point.
CC should avoid this league like the plague!
The thing I find interesting in it all, Cailtin has remained radio silent about the whole Unrivalled matter. Apart from her end of season interview saying she was not playing in the off season. You would think she is aware of all the chatter but has chosen not to respond either way.
She responded just recently. I read her comment in the video.
I missed that myself. Will look at podcast again.🙈🙈🙈👁👁👁👀👀👀
Adrienne, thank you for your insight and content. It's well thought out, entertaining, informative and fun. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! How kind of you to say this!
Caitlin Clark stringing Unrivaled along is like a boxer fighting a big trash talker who angered him.
He doesn't knock him out right away, he punishes and cuts him up a lot first, humiliates him
I think CC is allowing UNRIVAL to use her ambiguousness for promotion , because she wants to help her friends. CC wants to help Kate and Lexi( & A.B) make money .Btw ,why are they not going after " The best basketball player in the world"? Their MVP ,Aja Wilson?😂
A'ja gave them a clear note this year.
....because they know who the REAL MVP is and should've been!
If CC plays then you also get A’ja Wilson. Or so it has been rumored. I find that extremely interesting if true. I miss watching CC hoop, but not enough to want her in Unrivaled. It’s too risky!
Honestly, if A’ja is waiting on CC, I rather they say F it and go golfing together. Lol
That woule be such a huge mistake for Caitlin to expose herself to those hateful thugs and their flagrant fouls during the offseason. She needs to chill and prepare for the next W season.
I do not think the 1M is very significant for CC. Almost a insult. CC was said to make 1M off of a few hours of work signing those Panini Trading Cards that sold in a short period of time. It was record breaking for Panini. CC also makes a significant amount of money speaking online to Corporations.
She also doesn’t care about money that much. She refused a lot of money in college that most good players take. Not NIL but other funding. She’s happy with her Nike contract but all I hear is her “fans” say how stupid she was to not take more money.
Everyone wants to dictate her life choices and it’s weird. She’s 22 years old. I have kids older than her and I’d be really frustrated to hear all these random adults try to tell them what to do with their lives. Especially a daughter.
Well said!
@@ericMT what types of money did she refuse in college?
Adrienne… what does your “gut” say? I still hope she says NO.
She need to stay away from that league. One of those players could injure her badly and potentially ruin her WNBA career. Just say NO - Nancy Reagan🤣
I will bank on it, that Caitlin Clark isn’t even thinking of joining the Unrivaled League. I believe that Caitlin Clark isn’t going to do anything to risk getting injured outside of her training in the offseason.
NOT going to happen. CC handling her business. NO TIME FOR BULL💩💩💩💩
I think Unrivaled needs Ben Daniel in a full on 70's WKRP in Cinncinati Venus Flytrap pimp suit doing the announcing and play by play. Make it happen! That would be worth the time to watch.
Haaahaha! Love Ben Daniel!
🌽
Catelin , stay focused on golf for now.
Let them play.
You're above this.
I agree, TSpoon shouldn't be coaching, Angel Reese. She totally mishandled that.
The link is 10 weeks. It starts January 17 which means it would end mid April. That’s so close to season. I can’t imagine her playing and she spent a whole year away from her boyfriend and I think she has the love bug. She’s traveling to Arizona to watch Butler play a tournamentArizona for Thanksgiving. She was at the game last night. I don’t know if she’s willing to spend 10 weeks away from him and from training.
With Boston, Lexi, and Kate Martin I say CC is over 50%.
She plays, I watch. She says no I don’t
Miss leading headline, didn't anyone listen to Caitlyn Clark's exit interview? She is not playing basketball in the off-season, She is going to play golf and practice
For the upcoming basketball season.
Doesn’t sound like they be playing in a bb arena, heard it’s a sound stage, heard capacity is 850 seats max, so them “tickets sold” will be a pre selected tv “audience” with a smattering of celebrities thrown in for the WOW factor. In other words, it’s the drama they selling (the arguments, the alliances, the fights) and bb is incidental.
I hope she says NO
Caitlin got to see firsthand that the golf world has no issue, embracing her with love and respect….. It’s a walk into second career for her…. I am sure that there’s already in the works for her to have her own Pro-Am tournament that raises money for her causes….. I could see her doing that throughout the off-season… till weather doesn’t permit…. Hopefully
Caitlin has someone in her ear with this kind of advice, what an easy choice
Witherspoon as a coach literally tells you that this is a gimmicky league. It’s laughable already
Clark is too smart to join the 3 ring circus 😊
I will watch U cuz i need to fill the space until the W comes back. But i SO dont want her to go. She deserves a break from the noise. And the hate. Which will come
I think they are still trying to convince her , or they know the answer is a definite no and want the publicity from speculation. I would watch if she plays, but I hope she doesn’t.
I don’t think she should play with unrivaled. They need her…
She said a long time ago she wasn’t going to play. Then Aja said she wouldn’t play.
They're really gon be mad if she doesn't play - still, I hope she doesn't!!! 😎
Participating in the "Unrivaled" league would significantly reduce Caitlins time in the gym which SHE wants in order to work on and refine her game. She said at. the begining of the 2024 season that one thing that she had a hard time dealing with was the fact that it is very difficult to improve yourself while you are in season because you don't have quality gym time to work on your game. The kid is making almost 4 million dollars per year right now so she does not need the money, and she is focused on a personal development plan.
I would bet she's already said no, but they don't want that news to get out. If she had said yes, Aja would be in.
She can say no all she wants. Dude is trying to hype the league as if she’ll be there when she hasn’t agreed to anything. Caitlyn should continue living her best life and hitting the gym. She played a lot of ball this year and deserves a break.
Caitlin is loving life. She’s playing golf, supporting Iowa’s team , hanging with friends, massively marketing her wonderful self. She has never said she wanted to play for Unrivaled. She has consistently said no. They are again using Caitlin’s name for promotion.
I, like you, think that if they are teasing us until the last moment and she IS playing, then they have missed a HUGE opportunity to get back whatever salary they have offered Caitlin, by marketing that she is playing. I think word of mouth alone - social media (if they had announced she WAS playing) would have brought them many more eyeballs.
It's possible she has asked that she not make any final decision until after the LPGA tour, so that she is not hounded about Unrivaled while she plays golf, or because she wants to see how she feels, physically and mentally, after playing golf. Or maybe she asked for her name not be announced till after the golf tournament.
The fact that they are saying they have given her till the last moment to decide, could mean CC really doesn't know what to do. I guess it would be a bit awkward if she was on a team with Angel Reese and D'Jay. If it's full court 3 on 3 then they are all going to be in great shape after the tournament, but I would like to see CC decline this year, and avoid any more rivalry and "noise" until next season. I hope she makes sure she is reasonably rested and is fit and strong for next season.
She's not on a golf tour. She played ONE game. The professional golf season has only ONE more game for the season and she's not in it.
Caitlin can clear this up in a heartbeat with 2 words either "I'm in" or "i'm out". She is letting Unrivaled blow in the wind by not drawing a line in the sand. Whatever her decision it will be right for her.
If she would get so much more money the rest of the players would really be mad, I can't imagine how they would treat her, they treat her bad enough the way it is. I would think they would try to hurt her to get even and show her.
The Sky committed 4 flagrant fouls on CC. That was a plan, not a coincidence. Stay away from Witherspoon.
Unrivaled is just novelty TV, like bikini football, beach volleyball, indoor soccer, etcetera. Anything can get on tv if some exec gives it the green light. If it succeeds they make money, if it fails, tax write off. Reality tv is cheap to produce with big payoff if successful.
Why would CC sign up when she has no idea who will be her coach or teammates!
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I think Unrivaled started revealing that it's not a real professional sports competition
I feel like they want to guilt CC into joining Unrivaled even though she had already said no to basketball during the off season earlier.
I think since they dislike her so much, they need to show the world that it's not CC bringing attention to them. Over at the WNBA, they're claiming, it's not because of CC but "me too". She needs to let them do this on their own. Let them draw their own crowds since "they're so amazing". If they'd welcomed her like the golfing people did....I would be all for it. But these "women" have been offensive towards her and her fans. They've snubbed her time and time again. I say, she don't owe them anything! Seriously! smh
🎯🎯🎯
Yes she can say no
Adrienne, Loved your two sayings in this reel. I remember them. I so enjoy the reels that you publish. Very enjoyable and informative! Have you ever thought about teaching some of us about some plays in basketball and responsibility of each position? Just thought!
It’s been said that the fever doesn’t want her to play so that’s the 2nd biggest reason that she’s not gonna play. What’s funny is that the fever haven’t said that about Boston or Lexie lol. They absolutely know where their bread is buttered
Ohhhj please Caitlin don't play. Please
As of November 17th - Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, A'ja Wilson have not signed to play in the new league.
They are just trying to get viewers. She is busy and booked to stuff all ready. They are just name dropping
With TSPOON being involved, it needs to be an even harder Hell No for Clark!
My opinion, I think Caitlin has said No!
They Need to keep her name in it, to keep people interested. Personally, I will Not be watching it either way because there is way Too Much Drama.
Maybe Caitlin is teaching them a lesson, to let them think about how Bad they treated her.
Her comment "eventually" might be the next year or two, or maybe never!
Weatherspoon as coach, is likely to steer people Away.
People know she sacrificed Many games for the Team, to "promote" Reese.
I wonder if Christy Sides is on their panel of decision-making😂
Clark said NO. I will only believe what she says. Everyoneelse is hoping and guessing..
I wish the league well, and I wish whatever is best for Caitlyn Clark.
I have other things that I need to work on now.
I am tired of all the clips about her playing in Europe without supporting evidence.
I have listened to clips about how upset the WNBA is without hearing about anything they have said. The same with Larry Bird saying something and not showing anything. Lots of click bait and no substance.
I am thankful for and really appreciate your channel Adriene!!!
Thank you so much!
Never heard that saying referencing a #1, always been a #2.
Caitlin probably told them "I pick my own team and I'm in"..and they're not going for it, lol. Too bad so sad//
While I'm confident that all players won't make the same salary in Unrivaled, best guess is all will make at least six figures, with some making around $250K. And players get an equity share in the league, and again I would guess that ranges from 1% to 3% (maybe less) depending on the status of the player (just a guess). So what would they give CC to sign and lift the league to fantastics heights. Maybe $1M and 10%. Again, just a guess and yours is as good as mine. And anyone playing in the league who might resent giving her this kind of deal just doesn't understand entertainment celebrity. Like it or not, CC is a SuperStar, and many, myself included, would never watch this league without her.
She has sold out stadiums for 3 years. Why are players surprised and jealous?!?!?
"Will she or won't she?" It keeps them in the news, draws attention, keeps people talking about them, maintains interest.
Look how much people are talking about whether she will or not.
I believe the only way CC will play in Unravelled, would be for some of the legacy players to finally break down and go to her, and finally make amends to her and give her her dues and maybe even apologize. If they did that in good spirit, then she would do it for them, she's nice that way. If you ask me though, don't do it CC! Stay away, not worth the risk to your health!
To me the whole thing feels like one big gimmick
If she wanted to play, she would have told them yes. She doesn’t seem like a person who would waffle around. The owners want her so they can make more money. She should go south, play some golf. Continue with her workouts and practice in the gym. She also needs to pay some attention to her Foundation and business dealings. Relax.
I don’t appreciate the Clickbait headline
How is offering Caitlin a million dollars a “Messi like deal”? Caitlin makes a hundred thousand for a half hour zoom motivational speech and up to a quarter of a million for an in person two hour speech and question and answer session. A million dollars is chump change. Give Caitlin a ten million offer to play and then she might say yes. Money talks.
I'm a subscriber because I know you will give me real news and the verified straight stuff. I trust the crap out of you, Adrienne. Thanks for this update.
If they wanted Clark, they shouldn't have signed Carrington or Thomas.
People watch because of more than one person. Let them watch the 36. Those that were announced early on are probably annoyed at CC if the hold up is unrivaled waiting for her to say yes. If she said no, she said no. Leave her be and show us how great all 36 of you are
