to quote the famous American philosopher, Ron White, "You can't fix stupid"
Relax, it's mostly just the N less bo's going after her
Wasn't that Bill Engvall, though?.... here's your sign 😂
I can fix stupid……but it’s gonna hurt
White is a TDS liberal. He sounds kinda stupid, actually.
2 different things
NBA should pull all funding from the WNBA. Treat the WNBA like a bad date.
Bad date? It's more like the NBA knocked up his stepsister. twice. and his stepmom. What a mess.
After 27 losing years I think if the NBA left the WNBA would get half their shit and the kids
They use the WNBA as a tax write off wake-up.
People are over hyping Clark. Sabrina Ionesco is the better player period.
@TeW33zy nobody cares either way
Black girls with straight hair telling me I’m a colonizer? I love America!
Picking the 12 best players is a farce because their history has proven they have chosen rookies who never played a pro game in the past. On top of that, explain how any injured player can be rated one of the top 12 this year, when they haven’t played a single game? Jealousy is the reason Clark wasn’t picked, not the nonsense “12 best” argument.
and she been listed as injured for over 8 months. Wild.
@@xhandhele Life in a Russian prison is hard on the body.
The men have never been about picking the best 12 either.
The mission statement of the Olympics is to promote sports and competition.
The WNBA is prison ball. Blacks and the LGBTQ+P treat the WNBA like it's their housing projects league.
@@trollinthedungeon5255 Thats why they have usually put the best college kid on as well.
I saw that Caitlin is responsible for 33% of the attendance at wnba games. She can’t save an entire league on her own when they treat her the way they do but she’ll continue to prove them wrong and that’s what drives them crazy the most. The more they hate her the more she gets famous and the less famous the wnba gets.
Sounds like Donald Trump 😜
@@jaredkomori1380trump sucks
I believe it. I would bet that if the WNBA ended today that CC would still have endorsement contracts for many years to come. They can't stop that.
@lixondarvish7334 you must be someone that's not supporting yourself yet.
EXACTLY. BUT THEY CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES. AND I GET IT. BUT THEY HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT SOME HOW.
She's getting fouled like she's one of the top 12
They have three players coming out of college next year. They can all three her right now. Clark will not be that popular next year.
@@bobby12348 😂😂😂
@@bobby12348that's funny...who? That's what I thought.....can you tell us...the vast majority here....who these 3 are? And where have they been?
@@bobby12348they can all 3 her?
@@bobby12348CC makes a BANK shot from the bench. SWOOSH! 28 million dollars! It would take any other player in the WNBA 100 years to make that amount of money.
Very well said about WNBA is a business failure. For merit of CC, she is the most guarded player in the entire world. I havent seen anyone is full court pressed and double guarded from start to finished yet CC deliver 15pts, 5rebounds, and 6 assist deserves all the merit
Exactly. This is what I've been saying to people who say she has a lot of turnovers. Nobody else is guarded as hard as her and it's very noticeable.
The best thing about being double teamed all the time is that it leaves 4 of your players against 3 of theirs downcourt. I like those odds. If they weren't scared sh!tless of her talent they wouldn't double team her like that.
Her coach sucks because she should be able to figure out a way around this defensive attention instead of just letting Clark hang out to dry. Her answer was last game she finally just took Clark off point and Clark still had the most assists on the team.
She’s white straight and that goes against the black lesbian WNBA ego’s
Chip, go ahead and put up a pic of you in your grand wizard gear.
Kaitlyn Klark Klan!
100% facts. And she hasn't said a bad word about a pacific player all year, unlike the black lezzies that play and the black reporters
@@katrinafisher7820you seem to be overly sensitive to truth...but then again..that's not surprising
@@katrinafisher7820let me guess ...lesbian?
@@katrinafisher7820 where’d you come up with that in your black Lesbo white hating insta feed ?
They want to argue that she not one of the best players in the league but is getting the type of defensive attention that none of the other ladies on the team get .i bet you could combine the 11 other women on the Olympic team and it wouldn't be close on the defensive attention Clark gets . The wnba analyst are purposely neglecting to leave that stat out that Clark has been blitzed more as a player than all the other teams as a whole in the WNBA
Go ahead keep being hateful,
racist ,and jealous of Catlin Clark!! Without her the wnba would be financially where it was last year!!! Broke with no fans!! Catlin might not be the best in the wnba,but she is the best at bringing in new fans,and money to the league!!! And women like Turasi,with 20yrs in the league,should be supporting Clark, but all she does is destroying Catlin Clark !! Clark hasn't said once she's racist or hateful of anybody in the wnba!! But the reporters and the black players are going public saying that she is!!! Even her coach knows the black players on her team is not playing hard with CC. They don't pass her the ball. Plus Sides didn't let Clark shoot but times in the last game,while Boston took 25 attempts and Mitchell took 20
Isn't it ironic that these "grown" professional women, many allstars, MPVs, Olympic team members, and hall of famers have to double and triple cover this 22-year old rookie full court, blitz her 60% of the time on screens, foul her constantly because they can't legitimately cover her, and intimidate her with brutal illegal hits? They then gaslight that Clark is there because of white privilege and try to hijack Clark's popularity and platform for their perverted Woke and racist message!! Sick
👍I agree 100% with you
You tube took off my post!! Pisses me off!!!
If she was not receiving this extraordinary defensive attention, she would probably be in the top 5 in scoring - and they know it. That is why at all costs, they will focus on shutting her down. What we do know is that she is better than Taurasi at age 42 and she is playing which is more than you can say for an injured guard (the 3rd one from the Aces) who has not played a game this year. What a joke.
Black victimhood always has to be the main narrative. Even when you're losing 50 million a year.
I've been saying this for a while now..... these people DO NOT WANT THINGS TO GET BETTER. They just don't. What they want is a reason to bitch and moan. They actually don't want things to get better, because then they won't have a reason to whine.
EXACTLY
They can't be victims if the league grows and gets better
That is the definition of Woman.
They are an example of a welfare recipient. They just keep taking the handout and have no incentive to do the things it takes to get better. They can count on uncle NBA to subside them and they can just keep being snide insufferable monsters.
She’s getting double teamed more than any other *team* is getting doubled. She’s defended harder than ANY other player in the WNBA, period.
I was going to watch WNBA but seeing how players and media are going after her fans - F NO
Why is Brittany Griner even on the USA team after the whole Russia incident. That's nonsense.
Maybe race plays a factor, but I believe pure unadulterated jealousy is the main motivator with the situation surround Caitlin Clark. Those running the WNBA and some of it's players simply cannot stand it. They cannot move their egos aside and accept the fact that she is the IT FACTOR and responsible for the leagues current excitement and they aren't. No woman before her and currently has done or is creating this sort of buzz and they HATE IT. But they are experimenting and they really want to see. What would the WNBA look like right now without her? What if we bench her or take her minutes away...? Make her look bad on the court and don't allow her to ball out like she did in college. Foul her and assault her each game. Discredit her accomplishments. Keep her off the global stage. Have every sports channel create the "illusion of truth" by continuing to repeat over and over that she's overrated, a rookie who has a lot to learn, not ready, not top 12, undeserving, needs to rest and that she will have many other opportunities. Will this stop the momentum or with Clark excluded, will this newfound excitement for the WNBA still exist? The crazies really want to know. I truly feel if they could get rid of her they would. Those running the show haven't cared about this business for 30 years. They've mismanaged it then and still continue too. What makes you think they'd all of the sudden become great managers of it now?
I also believe it was jealousy in the beginning then the Woke race hustlers came in and turned it into their Woke racial rant accusing Clark of being a racist if she doesn't carry the flag of Woke and LGBTQ. Now it gets ugly with prifessiobal race hustlers involved. Retoric like, Clark is a white privileged racist from Iowa, bringing in white racist fans into our league and violating equal justice for all values. Clark must go B.S.
They’re too comfortable getting that free men’s basketball money to care.
It is very idiotic not to put her on the team. What is really idiotic is the number of lies they keep using trying to justifying it.
Clay, please start advocating for CC the leave this league and go to the Big 3 ( perhaps start a co-ed league) or go to Europe. One of the most popular athletes of out time is being ill-used and is so unappreciated by her teammates and opponents.
Why have I NEVER seen a woman wearing a WNBA jersey? Where’s the support!?!?
Why don't men support them? Don't y'all like woman?
Diane T mentioned that the veterans took you under their wings why don't you pay it forward and take Caitlin under your wing. I'm 70 years old I coach Division One sports my entire life I know a thing or two. I noticed how she said she was selected as a rookie because I won three national championships. Not WE but I. That tells me all I need to know about Diane tarasi and why she wouldn't think of taking a youngster under her wing and show her the ropes. I never watched women's basketball when I watched this year's final four because of Caitlin Clark I live in Nebraska I've never watched a WNBA game in my life but now I'm watching Caitlin and I can't wait to see when she shoves it in their face. Clarks stats this year are actually better than terrasse's. Then there's veteran Gray who hasn't played basketball since last October not really how ready is she gonna be if she even plays at all. When is it time to bring in the future and get a 42 year old woman off the team or just take her as an advisor or a manager or a coach. Well she wouldn't wanna do that because she's gonna wanna come home and say I won another gold medal.
Sorry Diana but you're no Jesse Owens mark spitz Michael Phelps Marlene ottey Katie Ledecky Simone biles I could go on forever going forever Diana no one knows who you are and don't care
Not a chance - the WNBA will bring Caitlin down.
But Claaaay, we don't like her. She's different from us.
The NBA supports racism in the WNBA. Both leagues are discriminating against peoples sexuality. The amount they are supporting these things is amazing.
I have never watched the WNBA. But with Caitlin Clark, I am definitely interested in seeing her play. I would watch every game of the USA womens team games if Caitlin was on the team. Now, I am still for the USA team, but I wont watch any of their games.
Don't be for that USA Team, they're not with/for YOU.
They DESPISE the fans of CC.
Why would you root for a bunch of thugs who wear the red, white and blue. They are a huge embarrassment to America, just like Joe Biden is.
No matter how much you pay them, backup singers will always be jealous of the lead singer.
Caitlin did a great service for America ..... by shining a light on what the WNBA really is ....... and what the American Welfare state has created ..... I had no idea I was a racist .....still really like black dudes though ....
I agree. I watched. WNBA for the first time because of Caitlin. I doubt I'll watch without her play.
WNBA management are idiots.
Get woke go broke! 😂
Truth is, she's a team player and makes others look good also. That's the way it works in male sports, and that makes them more fun to watch.
I haven’t seen very many women making the right decisions for the sake of others, it’s always about them and their feelings!! Most are not capable of forging their own destiny without being pointed in the right direction!! Their minds are wired for nurturing and taking care 3 to 6 and not battling for what’s best for everyone but themselves and their family!!
I love the fact that CC is bringing viewership to a whole new level but I’m still not going to invest my time or money on a bunch of angry black lesbians trying to knock CC a straight white Christian woman out of the game!! I think CC should go to Europe to see if she will gets the respect she deserves from those players!!! Then the WNBA will fail more miserably than it already is!!!
So heres some facts on the picks. Woman's USA is saying it's mostly because Clark missed the April 2 day practice due to her college schedule. Well let's see where she'd fit in stat wise. Chelsea Grey hasn't played all season went to the practice didn't practice and we don't know if she'll actually play or be on limited minutes. Britney Griner has only played one game this season. Clark is ranked 13th in total stats while Diana Taurasi is ranked 15th and Clark is beating her in a every stat. Ppg, asst, rebs, blocks, stls, and I'll even include turnovers cause I don't want someone saying I'm just picking the good stats.
So now tell me the real reason or a different reason. Cause there have been other rookies on the USA women's team in the past so you can toss that one out
Perfect take!
Great take Clay you couldn't have said it any clearer and straight to the point. I would like to interview for your network to become a podcaster.....
I have no idea how CC can handle the pressure. I was in the military in a top level training program at her age. You just grind and do things that seem improbable. Whatever made her like this is fascinating to me.
Why is everyone else trying to keep the WNBA relevant, more than then the WNBA is trying themselves
Her own coach hates her and is determined to ruin her by turning her into a spotup shooter. It's embarrassing. She needs to be fired.
Caitlin should go play overseas and let this trash WNBA league sink
Once the "new toy" attention fades, and it will fairly fast if her coach keeps sitting her, the three decade long true will again rise to the surface. This is a tiny, niche sport being kept aline by political correctness, wokism and DEI. Some of the biggest names in this "sport" are woke enough to support transathletes entering their game. That's how removed they are from the realities of the market they seek/lust after/ covet.
They've been fielding the best and winning the Olympics for over 30 years and YET nobody has cared. Not one single bit about the dumpNBA.
Looks like they want to keep it that way.
Warm up the charter buses again. Vroom Vroom ladies....
Best summation yet. Well done👏🏻
Britney Griner is Dude right
They deserve to lose the olympics
That was I said when I first heard this
I’ll be pulling for them to lose. Just like the women’s soccer at last World Cup
Basic business fumbled miserably, I agree.
I'm surprised Adam Silver didn't step in and fix this prime marketing disaster. He's a smart guy and marketer. Wonder what's going on? WNBA couldn't survive without the handouts from the NBA. The famous Don King once quipped, It doesn't matter if your black or white, the only color that matters is green!!
Well said🤯
To quote former WWE announcer Good Old JR, 'It's about putting asses in seats.'
The NBA should stop giving money to the wmba let them fold
Clark is white and straight. That about sums it up where the O team selection committee is concerned.
You're absolutely right, but that's the clown world we are live in.
she's being guarded like the # 1 player
Only the US government and the wnba can screw up a gift horse. The NBA should drop the wnba. Bruce
Some People from the US Government are Involved in The WNBA in some way.
I would also mention Venus and Serena Williams. There were always some great women tennis stars, however when those two were in their prime, they were huge as far as lifting the popularity of women's tennis. Yet for some reason they were disliked by some for not fitting the narrative as to what a female tennis player should look like.
Never been interested in women’s basketball until watching Iowa the past couple of years. That joke, the WNBA, has been around, losing money, for around 30 years is it? For the first time I was developing a little interest in that league because of one player only. I’ve seen too much outrageous abuse of her already and the league doesn’t seem to have the brains to handle it. My flicker of interest is already gone because of the jealous, idiot players and even dumber league leaders. Also, nice going Dawn Staley, no interest in the Olympics either.
And now we see why-they’re pissing on the Golden-Goose as they tell us-“it’s raining folks”
The Olympics aren’t there for your business opportunity. That’s not the goal. Treating it as such is failure to the spirit of the Olympics
Happy fathers day...much blessings 2 all dads
I heard they are shutting down the WNBA after this year
Weird how these businesses woman seem to value the feelings of their coworkers and employees over their bottom line. Girl power🤸🏽♀️
Clay is right. The USA team has no chance of losing in Paris. Clark’s presence makes the other players relevant because we’ll learn who they are while tuning in for her.
Since the wnba is freezing out CC, can someone PLEASE tell me how to freeze out wnba content from my RUclips feed? Thanks.
We should have pulled Taurasi, Gray, and Griner, substituting Clark, Reese and Brink. We could of has three young attractive up comers who would have brought attention to the USA team and the WNBA.
Looks like the press box gonna b a ghost town for USA womens team
It seems simple to me. Men’s sports preach team. We don’t all share the same beliefs, cultures etc. But, we’re conditioned to compete together to accomplish the goal. Women WNBA & PWHL seem to have difficulty understanding the team concept. It’s about them. Women excel in individual sports.
The only other time i see so much double-teaming besides Caitlin is when i watch Brazzers.
Her teammates are spineless wimps as well... with Mitchell, Caitlins own teammate refusing to pass to Caitlin when shes open to NONE of her team sticking up in defending Caitlin while the rest of the leauge continues to beat her up every single game is pathetic.
I have never watched a WNBA game but I would 100% watch one if Caitlin was playing
Wrong, the league is potentially negotiating a TV deal worth 230 million, along with everything else, the league could be independent from the NBA for the first time. Fire all those jealous jerks, let them go wait on tables. Those managing the USA team should be replaced. She is the worlds biggest star right now. These people are idiots. Without her the WNBA goes down the tubes, without the NBA they are bankrupt! How stupid. I for one will be boycotting the Summer Olympics!
The WNBA will lose 50 million dollars this year
It is not the WNBA negotiating the deal, it is the NBA, but since the NBA is the majority owner of the WNBA, with 60% ownership, it makes sense. What the NBA is doing is combining the leagues in the negotiations which is expected to increase broadcast revenue from the $2.7 billion that the NBA currently receives on its own to nearly $7 billion in combined revenue if the new deal goes through. The NBA would receive approximately 60% of the WNBA's revenue generated from this deal, and the remaining 40% would go directly to the WNBA league. Something else to add is that for this current season, the league has received approximately $75 million from sponsors, such as Nike, which is expected to go up even more with increased ticket sales and TV viewers.
She's a sharp shooter, that's the best, never misses a layup unlike many others and a great passer, they would look better if they would just give Caitlin her props, you can't hide it, she's the best shooter in the league
Tell me why two players, Gray and Griner, having played a whopping total of ONE game between them this year, deserve it more. Furthermore, Griner hates her own country. Sorry, on merit, based on the 12-15 games played this year, CC has a better claim. In her few games this year, she’s averaging better numbers than Gray over her career.
Lemme chime in from afar. Isn't USAB a seperate entity from the WNBA?
WNBA is a hobby not a business. Expensive hobby for the NBA
If a business fails for so long change management not the workers. These managers with women's basketball will fail even with Caitlin Clarke. Also, imagine how many great players who were not given a chance by these people because of some petty reasons.
Yeah I ha said that for a while. It's hard to believe u get #1 pick up yrs in a row n still be in same situation
The MBA should stop subsidizing the WMBA. If they are as good as the MBA . Let the WMBA stand on their on two feet. Lets see how long they will survive. ☠️
These women broke through the glass ceiling only to fall back again through envy.
Cant wait for CC to be the captain and select her team in the 2024 All-Star Game! It’s likely to be the most competitive All-Star event, with everyone eager to get in on the action.🎉 also to spice up All Star, they will do Team USA versus selected WNBA all stars
Listen listen listen. They can screw their league up everyday all day when they do not pay a penalty! The NBA pays for their league so why would they care! If somebody bought me a new car every year, It wouldn't bother me if I chipped the paint, hit curbs and had an occasional fender bender!
The controversy surrounding the wnba is more profitable the the alleged product they are selling.
It's been a failure since it's 1st year. If the NBA pulled their funding the embarrassment would end in weeks.
The WNBA has the mindset that everything is just given to them, and they don't have to make a profit. These women need to start acting like there life is on the line to make money, like a real business does. The NBA needs to pull the WNBA of the tit, no milk for you! Make you own money!
I’m literally dumber knowing that the women’s US basketball team selection committee is actually making and sticking with this decision, even double and tripping down.
If you had told me a month ago that you were willing to bet me $10,000 Kaitlyn would not be selected for this year‘s US Olympic team. I would’ve taken that bet in a heartbeat.
Why are no nba players furious about this? $300m per year to keep the wnba alive and you wanna slow play CC's popularity. Adam Silver's beta personally has leaked into the players.
The WNBA isn't losing $50 million as being posted on many channels, at least not at the moment, that info comes from an unsubstantiated story posted by the Washington Post citing two anonymous sources alleged to be from the WNBA and included no financial information at all, which it couldn't, since the 2023-24 season is ongoing and revenue and expenses can't be determined for this season until it is complete. Looking at last season, before Caitlin was in the league, the WNBA generated $200 million in revenue which was an increase of over 300% over the previous season on which they generated only $60 million. The revenue generated from the 2023-24 season is expected too be much, much higher. That does not include the $15 million that was contributed by the NBA, which doesn't go to the teams or pay player salaries, but goes to operational costs of the league, which the NBA is the majority owner, owning 60% of the league, which is seldom included in stories about the contributions it makes to the WNBA..
The nba needs their tax write off
Caitlin needs to get a percentage of those increased revenues 💵💵💵!!!
She is worth more then the entire league.
This decision was as bad as Bud Light thinking hiring Dylan Mulvaney was a good idea.
I'm not watching one minute of girls bb team USA. If Caitlin was on the team, I would probably watch them all. I guess the WNBA doesn't want my eyes?
Players like Griner make it impossible to like anything about this league exept Clark
Griner on the team, Clark off the team? I’m not going to watch. What a farce.
It was an open goal. Where was the visionary CEO?
to much of the players and mgmt of the wnba are more concerned with their work activism than they are actually growing their game and reaching more people and making $.
Bird's back was bust and Magic was retired yet the dream team was the greatest success in basketball history.
Clark's prominence is like a comet that appears in the sky several consecutive evenings - interesting for a short period, but pretty soon everyone goes on about their lives.
Yeah for as long as the WNBA continues to be spiteful, jealous and envious of Caitlin Clark being the IT factor for multiple people even though I don’t like the basketball style that she has since I see it too much in the NBA. But it’s a stupid decision from the higher ups who are completely jealous from the top down
I suppose yall want the WNBA to "fix" CC's games so she can be successful for "the good of the league"...C'mon man!😂😂😂
The part that makes this really bad is that it's her first year in the league so there's a lot of hype, but I think it will inevitably evaporate once that hype dies down and she's been in the league for a little while,
This was the old USA women's team did not want her or play with her
Where can we see the NBA’s Balace sheet? How do they carry this yearly gift to the WNBA. Would be interesting to look at these accounting transactions.
