I'm black and idgaf if CC is white pink or blue. She made me watch a WNBA game. 🤷🏾♂
Thank you!

Same!!!👏🏾👍🏾✌🏾
Facts
Agreed!
Al Bundy said it best (to his son Bud): “Don’t try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other”.
amen.....
hahahhahaha TROOOFFFFF!!!!!!
Al was the Greatest
Bundy got it right.
That show should be back in syndication
I will never understand why WNBA players feel offended when someone suggests lowering the rim. They already play with a smaller ball, play less time per game and play less games than guys…
Women’s tee in golf…..
I just wanna see a windmill one time
I stand with you on lowering the rim. Not by much tho… by your claim it just seems right! They would perform better
@@jerrrryy4503 they can’t because they don’t practice it, dummy.
Because they women bro
Caitlyn broke NCAA records at Iowa. She's a great ambassador for the WNBA. She's attractive, exhibits awesome values and has a classy demeanor. Watching her sign autographs for little girl fans brings a tear of pride for her efforts.
And yet the angry, hate filled, jealous women of the WNBA want Caitlin Clark to fail.
@SoCaliGuyHB394 - She's talented and seems to have a classy demeanour, as you suggest. But "attractive" is stretching things a bit. She's rather average looking. But the most important thing is she's a very good women's basketball player.
@@wiseonwords Attractive in basketball skill, mid in looks
@@wiseonwordsBy the standards of WNBA players, she's a...
Actually, no. I can't do it.
This is just real house wives of the WNBA 😂😂😂😂
That's why everyone is locked in sadly 😂 😂
🤣
Lmaoooo you a fool 😂😂😂. Didn’t have to go hard in the paint like that 😂😂
@@AlexInTheSubie 🤣🤣 that's what it feels like. Their creating false drama for views, same way we used to do Lebron
That's a kill shot bro 🤣
the player complaining about revenue percentage was priceless. so you want the WNBA to evenly distribute the yearly net loss of millions amongst the players. they'd be handing out bills instead of checks girl.
Was going to say this exact thing!! It’s frustrating to think they don’t realise the WNBA isn’t pulling in the same revenue as the NBA.
Right.. really stupid...
I agree, they should try to make up the deficit that they're losing by taking it out of each.One of the players paychecks that might bring it home reality to them
You really buying they're losing money? Fat chance! And shouldn't players make something off their own likeness?
@AdrienneMonestere lmaooo. Yes. Its a known fact. What are you on ?
That’s $76,000 for four months of work! I have no sympathy. In fact, I’m quite envious.
After Taxes..Not very much
@@casanova76544 we get it money bags, close to 80 grand a year is broke for you after taxes
Context matters. Everybody knows sports salaries are ridiculous compared to teachers, plumbers and mechanics, but a huge % of people don’t know enough to vote their own best interests.
@@casanova76544nah I make more than that and pay 7-8K in taxes
Thinking professional athletes only work during the season is remarkably ignorant
I NEVER Seen 1 Single Person Wear a WNBA Jersey 😜
I’ve seen Caitlyn Iowa jersey tho
Me neither lol
I gotta say, I’m black and I watch her because the way she plays the game. Love the crossovers, stepback 3’s and passes. WNBA plays like every other boring college team. Hopefully Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese change the boring style of play.
Of course her being white brings more attention especially in a black dominated sport. Similar to Tiger being black brought more money and interest into golf.
YEs and Lot of whites were very angry Tiger was allowed to play and he was forced to fight over walls they put up He didnt have the door opened and just allowed in.. But he stayed and played and won. Winning solves everything which clark can't do , yet. She has to take her bumps and bruises like everyone else does and did.
If u black then u have to keep it real. Cc is not the reason anybody is watching the wnba
@@1212rusty you sound like a life long loser
lol why you point out you black, my folks can be soo weird you want some points or something for that da helll... Alot of us loving the wnba right noww - My city had the barss packed out like ive never seen. those who dont like the WNBA dont watch anyway... Ive been keeping up with the ratings its growing every week. So oh well
@@1212rusty yeah ok
One thing that might help is if the WNBA stopped playing "thug ball" whenever one of the rookies plays against them. It's embarrassing to watch.
What the heck is thug ball?
@@stevebusam2911 If you look at my comment, at least 35 people fully understood my remarks. The fact that you don't, speaks volumes.
@@jamesburgin8168 no I fully understand it. Just wanted you to explain it. I believe that you are using it in place of another word that you aren’t aloud to use. We all know you meant N-word ball.
@@stevebusam2911 .... damb you are so blinded by racism xD
@@lazarperic4525 Na actually I’m super level headed. I’m not chronically online like you assume from my comment. It’s not my fault racism has lost its meaning from people over using it. The word Thug is reserved for black people. If it was all white players in the WNBA, I guarantee he wouldn’t have used the word thug to describe them. No one ever describes baseball players or nascar drivers as thugs when they get physical or into fights.
Take the Ice Cube offer and f*k them if they have issue with you Caitlin! Aint nobody looking out for you, look out for yourself and get that bank!
WNBA continues to destroy their own brand. SMH
Cause women don't get along with other women.😂
They are their own worst enemies on some petty ish.
Don’t worry, the NBA will be there to prop them up like always.
Has to be hard for the veterans of the league. Great players too, but werent able to ever garner even 10% of the interest this years rookie class as a whole has done for interest. Mainly Clark ofcourse.
Its not the WNBA saying these things its some commentators and Aja.
Moral of the story, women will always find a reason to be unhappy
As everyone in life.
That explains the high divorce rate and why 80% of them initiate it!
🎯🎯🎯🎯
@@jahjoekawrong
Preach!
In truth, in order for women to be paid "their fair share" the NBA would first need to stop subsidizing the WNBA. Only then could women actually get paid their fair share, because then they'd be getting paid based on the revenue they actually generate, rather than surviving of the revenue that men generate...
But they don't want to talk about that.
Only $76k to play a game for a couple months for a company that isnt even profitable?
Hold on while i get her a tissue..
Barkley said it best. “You women out there, you petty.” Women are the biggest haters out there. All the hate Caitlyn gets makes me cheer for her even louder. For the first time in my life, Im actually watching women’s basketball. All thanks to Caitlyn. YOU GO, GIRL!!!
I was gonna say the same thing lol the reason why wnba has struggled is due to women’s pettiness and jealousy when they see a fellow woman find success in something they couldn’t
Charles is a cross dressing clown who's says what his daddy's at TNT tells him to say.
CC is getting worked and CC fanboys and other lames want the league to just let this chick do whatever she wants.
Please y’all want them ladies to just bow down to the great white hope 🤣🤣
@216Browniee Nah, go away we don't need your ignorant hate here.....😤
@@j4ze114 bro spoke no hate. Just facts
Aren’t getting paid much money? Are you kidding me Mike? The average wnba salary is still over 100,000 dollars a year. Most people would kill to ever make 6 figures a year. Wnba players need to be grateful to make good money while doing something fun because most people dont get that privilege
That's false, it's gone up to about 140k as of the 2023 season lol. It's likely around $160k or so as of this season on average.
They wont be happy until all men on the planet are paying women out of pocket because "equality".
Your average man is also aware 100k is not the same 100k of a decade ago
It’s the comparison to the nba. They argue they don’t want to be compared to the men’s league but then compare themselves to it time and time again when it comes to money. They need to stop complaining and just put in work
PLUS SPONSORSHIPS, ONLY WORK LIKE 3 MONTHS A YEAR
No one excels at bringing down women more than another woman
Especially a black
Brilliant. Absolutely. Are you a poet?! Seriously well said …
Would they be happier if Caitlin's attention declines? That would mean most interest would decline. Please stop this behavior!!! Love that Caitlin isn't on social media and continues to rise above all of this. Go Caitlin!
What's frustrating me the most about this whole situation is Caitlin's teammates don't even seem to have her back.
EXACTLY! Where's the outrage for her by her teammates? When that Carter girl knocked Caitlyn down with dirty, uncalled for hit, did any of them rush over to get in Carter's face. Nope. The only reason I can come up with is that her own teammates are as jealous as other WNBA players. It's sickening to see.
If they got paid their actual fair share, they'd have to pay out of their own pockets for the privilege to play.
Exactly!!! If you want profits from a business that is losing money you would end up losing money yourself. Kelsey Plum is incorrigible as are other veteransl WNBA players and analysts. This year's draft class singlehandedly saved the WNBA. And the race thing is ridiculous!! They should be grateful for the fact that players like Caitlin and Cameron and Angel Reese are increasing interest in their sport.
If the league does not make a profit there is no money to pay them with. The league in 30 years has not made a profit.They are living on the charity of the w.N b a
Stay away from the race; because I agree with a lot , well some things he said; but the privilege comes in to play when it comes down to what matters the most to some people and that’s the 💼 $ , so let’s stay away from it
Plum went to the Regard School of Business.
They need to sell more tickets to get their share.
Only WNBA players would assume people of not giving a percentage of the jersey sales when in reality, there’s just no one buying WNBA jerseys 😂
Dayum 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WORD!!!😂 50% of NEGATIVE $15,000,000 = ZERO! The players should donate their EBT contracts to all the oppressed people they cry about.
let the ones complaining have 10% of the Jersey Sales. $50 for a Jersey. x 5 Jersey's sold per year = $250/10 = here's your $25 for the year.
Clark sold more jerseys than the Dallas cowboys. On day one. Whole wnba sold less jerseys in their 28 years of existence lollllllzzzz
@@TaiyouArt Not true. she set records for WNBA jersey sales, but she came nowhere near the number of jerseys sold for the cowboys.
Women hating another woman is weird and saddening
Nah its normal, women hate eachother. Thats why lesbian domestic violent rates are so high.43.8% of lesbian women have experienced physical violence, rape, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime, compared to 35% of heterosexual women. Studies have also found that sexual violence in lesbian relationships can be as high as 55%
It's normal.
It’s not weird it very common that female empowerment is a myth
Caitlin Clark is actually doing fairly well for a rookie. She's at 17 PPG on 47% true shooting and makes around 1/2 of her 2pts attempts. She's dishing out 6.5 assists per night, 5 rebounds, a steal and a block per game. That's good enough to say "it ain't all hype" with her.
Can you imagine what she'll be doing in years 4-7 in the league, once she's caught on to the pro game and adjusted?
She also is like top 5 or leads the league in turnovers...but yeah she is a rookie..we shall see. Shes a great player...the hype is manufactured by the media to generate dollars and eyeballs (the new litmus test which leads to green $)
The facts is the average NBA player is 6'6 and the average WNBA player is 6 feet. Also men have on average 50% more muscle than women. Why are women offended when men suggest to lower the rim? The WNBA is playing on a height of the rim based on it being challenging enough for men, not women. Basketball should be equal as challenging for women than for men, not more challenging than men's basketball by having them play on a rim height that is meant for men. Lowering the rim should not be seen as an insult, it's leveling the playing field.
Even if it were lowered, they still wouldn't be able to dunk.
@@jimmyhyun8546 i think it would help them do layups and shoot better Aswell it wouldn't only help with dunks. Less force you have to put under it because the surface area that the ball can go through to go into the rim is essentially bigger when lowered. Thats why people like Steph curry arc the ball so high shooting it angled makes you miss more because of what I just described if that makes sense. There would fs be some that could dunk you'd be surprised how much 9.5 let alone 9 in would do by lowering it.
Especially when they have a smaller ball and shorter 3pt line too
It would make just as much sense to raise the hoop for men. If, as you say, 10 feet was decided upon because that's the height that made it challenging for men then it needs to be updated and raised because it isn't nearly the challenge for today's athletes as it was 60+ years ago. It's too easy for men playing now when you have high schoolers who would never even sniff the league being able to dunk
@@nathansalveson9655great point. These kids can dunk with no problem. It definitely looks easier than it looked back in the 80s the game has evolved. Players are more competitive. Great observation.
I'm no expert but, I feel like Caitlin bringing all the attention to the WNBA is a massive opportunity for existing players to make a name for themselves and their brand.
Even if you're salty that you aren't getting Caitlin fame, I'd think about how I can become another household name alongside her, not tarnish her.
If you're gonna play Heel, at least be a heel, not just a hater :P
I approve this message. This is the perfect time for them to ACTUALLY MAKE A NAM FOR THEMSELVES. But no. Women are petty, and some of them in the WNBA are no different.
Funny thing is that's pretty much what Angel Reese said. Since they are going to paint her like the bad guy she may as well play into it. Currently her brand is only 2nd to Caitlin Clarke in the WNBA and apparently her and CC are actually pretty cool with each other
this is a good point. the biggest problem I have is these women that are touching Caitlin up don't want to own up to it. If you're going to be that way on the court then go all the way, go to the media, create a rivalry. don't rough Caitlin up then don't follow up in the press conference, that doesn't make any sense
True, Denis Rodman embodied the heel. Look at him now, dude has the keys to North Korea.
@@JukeboxsterI watched a fee games over the years those women been playing physical. Ppl just upset cause it's there great white hope like they want the competition not to play her n just let her have her way. N I don't understand the hype around her besides she can shot the 3. But it's not like she hit 6 or 7 a game.
The rim conversation is frustrating. So they can have a smaller ball and shorter 3 point line than the NBA but they draw the line at the rim for some reason. Also they forget every sport is entertainment not entitlement. You have to offer something that is entertaining enough to earn more revenue and they refuse to do so. If it was the NBA the rules would have changed already but because they dont want to rock the boat with women they dont push anything with them.
their ball is much smaller
simple fix. lower the rim and allow dunks.
"She's only making $75,000 a year." ..... "She attended the draft dressed head to toe in Prada." Lmao yeah idgaf
She bought the Prada from $ she made from sponsors.
Make no mistake, the Caitlin hate is largely about her being white…similar situation to Joker and Luka
Yes and also because she's straight. It's no coincidence that many WNBA players and alumni criticizing her before she played in the league are lesbian. She represents to them a lot of haters for their whole lives.
Oh, my god white people being discriminated against. Are white people pulling the race card?
Human-nature, unchecked without character training at home and morality taught at religious services, is full of jealousy. Bad character is the issue
You'll keep trying to make it a race thang, when white girls on her head to. She good but she is playing players that are just as good and better. What you'll want her to be giving shots they supposed to open the lane when she got the ball. She cool but get better.
Wait what ?? 😅 joker and luka aren’t even American haha
This was predicted even before the draft, they are going to "Jalen Rose her". Sorry Jalen.
2-3 years tops, Caits career will be over due to premeditated bodily harm done from others. She needs to get outta there, go overseas and leave the WNBA dry so that the NBA can finally fold this lackluster league.
Or.... She can overcome like Larry Legend did. Same things happened to him, jealousy for being so good, hit to be injured by many of all colors and creeds
Thanks G, we appreciate the encouragement. Make sure you share that one with your daughters (if you're blessed to have any) and all the other women in your family and your life. Good look'n out.
Not gonna happen. The agenda is to promote promote promote women's pro sports. And identity politics will try to take over. Caitlin doesn't fit; she's the wrong identity group and is, like Larry Bird gonna have to prove everything with numbers.
I think the bitching and complaining is about race. Her popularity has increased due to the bitching and complaining. So yeah, race is a factor because racists MAKE it a factor. Her talent and skill is obvious and always has been.
Most of the league is too DUMB to understand CC brings attention to the league FINALLY. And the players should be happy they can be noticed now and take advantage of it . Instead they are all jealous of CC and try to physically HURT her every game. They wear their DIRTY hits on CC like a badge.
Gil Arenas said it the best. The woman are literally focused on themselves and not the league as a whole. CC literally is carrying the league on her back because the past 25 years, no one wanted to watch anything with the WNBA. Thats why the players don't have these shoe deals and commercials is because no one knows who they are. Sabrina was a huge Kobe fan and had his same mentality and that boosted her marketing. Brianna Stewart was a baller at UConn and that's a national team with national televised games so people knew who she was and she is marketable. They need to be careful and have kid gloves with CC, because if she was to get hurt and be out for the season, all the profits that she would bring in for those games and merchandise and what not, would be gone.
You’re lying. She’s not carrying anything. The ratings are the same. With or without her
women being women
Yeah, I think the only ones I had modest interest to watch over the years were Lisa Leslie, and early on Elena Delle Donne.
insecurities.
Agree, who runs that league, they bitch about popularity and not selling tickets, and they get a golden goose and shit on her! I don't get it, but it's fun to watch
Pretty privilege...White Privilege...Tall privilege...Seriously, would CC be getting all the attention if she didn't break all those college records and didn't play the way she does?
All what records?
She is the all time leading scorer in women's college basketball, unless you feel like that record isn't big enough! People legitimately hate this girl because she is white and straight that is crazy, plus let's stop acting as if people cared about the wnba or did in content on the wnba before catilin Clark rise to fame.

She is privileged in this world because of her skin.
How many losers have you seen getting this amount of media and invitations to the White House….are you pretending to be blind?…….LSU won and you barely heard anything about it.
Michael Jordan put eyes on basketball from all over the world in the 80s and 90s and he isnt white... i dont think race the determining factor here
It is a little but not enough to say it because she’s white it’s just refreshing to see different forms of talent like a Luka

@@dawkins2101 they weren’t exciting of a players to watch. 😂
I wouldn't even know the wnba was worth watching if it weren't for Caitlin clark
The WNBA has fumbled this golden opportunity. I am from Indiana, and CC coming here ELECTRIFIED the basketball scene in this city. I have already quit caring about this league, and I feel bad for CC because it isn't her fault. She has been nothing but classy and respectful. She is a rookie, and shes already the most mature and composed player in the league.
The players in this league act like entitled, jealous, petulant children. It's no wonder that this league is the biggest embarrassment in women's sports.
It’s both. She’s talented and she’s relatable to majority of Americans (66 to 70% white American). For example the average Black American didn’t care about golf until Tiger Woods. She’s going to alright hopefully a HOF career
I'll add tennis, with Venus and Serena.

Probably one of the best statements LeBron has ever said. He and Chuck are 100% correct.

I follow a basketball talk group on FB and boi, this CC situation is bringing everybody's ugliest side to the forefront! Never seen so many grown men turning racist and misogynistic about a white girl! She just hit 7 3s last night, but most probably gonna downplay the fact she tied for most 3s made in a game by a rookie, because she has as much turnovers... 😶

HUMILITY HAS BEEN LOST SINCE OUR GRANDPARENTS 😩
They want a revenue share? No problem. Each player will pay their share until the net oss is paid off! Yay ladies, you get what you wanted!
The view has to be the worst show on TV...who really watches that show?
Half their viewers hate watch the show. The look on their faces can be pretty funny when confronted by the truth. I only watch clips on RUclips but when Sonny Hostin found out her ancestors were slave owners, it was pretty funny😂
Racists stay away from it in droves
still better than anything on Fox, but that is a pretty low bar to get over.
It’s not just Caitlyn Clark. She’s the head of the spear, but Angel Reese’s first game wasn’t televised because the WNBA is making it all about Caitlyn. Some random person streaming the game on their IG, had 2M viewers. You have Cameron Brink in LA, who is generating publicly for the WNBA.
Unfortunately, past and current legends like Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker and Aja Wilson are just being swept under the rug. It took Dr J and Kareem, then Magic and Larry, then MJ, Hakeem and Chuck then Shaq, AI and Kobe then Lebron and Steph. It wasn’t just one dude. Yeah MJ was the tip of the spear and the most important in the modern era, but it took others also.
I'm an Aussie and have never watched Womans ball. And then I heard of all the hype about CC and now I'm watching. To the WNBA bosses, she is your golden goose, don't kill it.
The WNBA is trash. It’s so slow and clumsy it’s unwatchable.
like watching elementary boys basketball seriously
No it’s not stop it !!! You don’t even watch the games gtfoh
I never “went” to a game in the first place, just like 99.9% of Americans. It’s a charity league. I’ll watch college women play, but only in the NCAA tournament, and only my alma mater. Some women’s sports, like golf and tennis, are watchable, but not basketball.
I agree. I've tried to watch some of the games. But most women can't shoot the basketball. It's either an easy layup or a clumsy attempt at one. Clark is bringing attention to their game, but it won't last because the majority of players can't play for sh*t.
The ambassadors of their league are petty and jealous when they finally get someone who can help their league- a rising tide lifts all ships and CC is that tide, but they would rather poke holes in their boats. SMH
I'm from Denmark and I'm sorry to say it but those women are going to sound not nice but stupid when they say what they do. I can't see it in Denmark and it's actually annoying as I would like to see CC.
You'd think the WNBA is just waiting for trans men to line up so women can't play, I apologize for my english but also had to vent with frustration, have a nice day
Caitlyn Clark can’t even save the wnba. Caitlyn Clark is not hooking up her piers. Bro come on stop it
Won't lower the rim but will lower military standards.
Faaaaaaacts!
Reese and Clark are the WNBA's Bird and Magic. I don't think their Jordan has arrived yet.
that’s gonna be juju watkins
How are they compared to Bird and Magic when they haven't played a full season in the league,yet? They haven't done anything to be compared to those two legends.

This misses the reality of what the WNBA currently does. Everybody talks about profit, but the WNBA plays in the NBA off-season where revenue is WAY down. The WNBA is less about profit and more about loss mitigation. ANY money the WNBA makes versus the costs of maintaining a stadium, staff, and marketing infrastructure in the off-season is vastly preferable. To pretend that there is not a significant financial up-side to the team owners to have a WNBA team as well their NBA team is to deeply misunderstand what kind of people own sports teams. These are not charities or passion projects. These are serious businessmen who care about one thing and one thing only; money. The team is an vehicle to make money and nothing more.
So, the real reason WNBA players are not paid better is because currently the books can be made to look like the teams are not profitable an the owners look so very generous to keep the team going at all. In reality, they are saving tens of millions every year and keeping their staff paid an on the payroll in the off-season by having some revenue coming in instead of nothing or the trickle that the NBA generates in the off-season.
If you think anything otherwise, you need to take a class on business finance. Idiotic statements like "this is the NBA giving charity to the WNBA" just show your significant ignorance of how sports business works. None of these owners in the NBA are "donating" shit.
The WNBA is a tax write-off for the NBA.
"And she is a very talented woman... which is bizarre to me!" 😂😂😂
Swoopes shoulda apologized in public out loud like she did on the podcast
Her ignorance was astounding
Funny how volleyball women have no issue with a net that is 6” lower than the mens. Makes the womens game much more fun to watch. The same would be true for the W. Imagine how much more popular these women would be if they could have posterizing pics all over social media?
Track and field women have no problem with throwing lighter objects or running over shorter hurdles. Lots of sports have different parameters for men vs women. It's absurd for them to get huffy about the suggestion of lowering the rim as if its something novel.
Why MMA and even wrestling on the women's side entertain and succeed involves around the person's character, storyline, and of course skills. WNBA players as a whole have problems with the first two let alone even talk about their skills or at least how to maximize it by adjusting the game.
When your league operates at a loss and is subsidized, your fair share is you owing the NBA money. Sad to see such ignorance.
They act delusional like they don't understand that their league doesn't make billions like the NBA and the NBA revenue helps their league stay afloat.
Why is the WNBA paying for flights? Shouldn't the club owners do that?
As the WNBA commissioner has stated...
"The way that all the leagues that do have charters get funded is through enormous media rights deals," Engelbert said. "This is why we're working so hard to transform the economics of our league. We want to build a revenue stream -- at the league plus the team level -- where we have bigger corporate sponsorships stepping up.
"I'm obviously very vocal about the fact that there's a huge undervaluation in women's sports of our media rights. We've got to right-size that in our next round of media negotiations."
"I'm thinking very hard about how we can do this," she said of charters. "And it's all in the next round of media negotiations and bringing in bigger corporate partners because that's how we -- the teams and the league -- would be able to fund it.
"I know a lot of people are saying, 'OK, let's take $25-$30 million and just divide it by 12.' But that's not how it's going to work in reality, because we don't want to jeopardize the financial viability of this league by putting the full onus on either the league or the owners. We're all in this together."
because the wnba still doesnt generate profit. so if teams paid for it team would go bankrupt. because of delusional women. the wnba organization would just push the bill to the nba
The teams lose money each year. Can't pay for flights when you can't earn money with your team.
The nba owns half of the wnba's equity and like they said, the wnba has been losing on average 10-12 million dollars per year...for 26 years. Those numbers hopefully would change with the effect CC is bringing like that of Magic/Bird in the early 80s and MJs leap to prominence in late 80s early 90s.

This always happens when there's something that's relatively new goes from being basically underground to very popular. The old guard and or pioneers gets salty/jealous because they feel all the work they did to build, all the years the grinded when nobody cared went unrecognized until this new person(or people) comes along and take it to the next level.
Um, yes. Lower the rim to appease the people who don't want to watch it for what it is. It's not about you. Like any other form of entertainment, you should WANT to appeal to those who don't watch...so they watch...and then you get paid.
They're mad at Caitlyn because she's showing the players why they deserve the money they're getting.
I completely support Caitlin Clark and what her presence is doing for the WNBA. I play ball and I wasn’t even watching us play. How can you hate on her when her presence is bringing the sponsorships that we’ve been crying for for years??? You’ve asked for it, now whichever way it comes be grateful for the change that’s about to take place, for the good. I agree with Barkley and Lebron. Stop hating!
SHe got them NOT others. SHe got them and only after media and others made comments Why she only getting them then they was Oh yeah you too i guess.. She had the chartered planes no one else. SOmeone in media asked and they said oh guess will do it for all then. Clark is getting her white privilege executed properly. Just the rest are supposed to shut up and not question it.
I didn't even know WNBA existed until Caitlin.
The problem is that professional athletes act as if they deserve to be paid millions for playing a game when in fact they only have a job because fans want to pay to see them. Professional sports is only about who wants to watch.
Women sports is unwatchable
I'm sure she's a nice person but I've never heard anyone say , wow that Caitlin is hot. Pretty privilege? Stop.
Exactly. They want to say just white privilege but they know pretty privilege sounds better because that means only white women can be pretty. Like Halle Berry and Tyra Banks don't exist.
The best thing about Caitlin Clark is that she’s a breath of fresh air in the WNBA. But people need to keep in mind that she’s a rookie like everyone else. Also it will take at least five years before we actually see the full impact that she’s is making in the league. The problem is that the women want to be equal or be greater than the men right now.
So all of the other players were not a breath of fresh air before her??
@anthonytaylor7928 nope...bunch of woke lesbians that hate America, kneel for anthem, hate men talk dumb shit, and play a boring shitty brand of basketball...Who else hitting 30 foot 3 pointers and throwing cross court dime passes...Nobody
The cat fighting and rivalry is what brings more viewers. But her teammates not being there for her is repulsive no matter what the reasons or who is at fault.
Angel Reese: “You can’t see me”
Caitlin’s thoughts: “Yeah, neither can the rest of the world.”
Pretty, White, Tall privilege, and heterosexual ... she basically described Cameron Brink. All jokes aside, I 100% do think there's white privilege, etc., but this is the wrong person by saying that you're undermining her accolades, abilities, etc.
The thug behavior is more of an issue. Angel Reese was horse collared the other night and knocked to the ground. That's even illegal in football a contact sport. Kamilla Cardosa had her shoulder smashed and is out for a month. Catlain got pulverized on a screen that none of her teammates warned her about. In addition, her next injury, the ankle was a result of her fear of getting pulverized again on a screen. She looked petrified as she tried to put on the brakes and twisted her ankle. Turasi kept it real and Swoopes apologized. So there have not been a lot of negative comments from the WNBA players. The media is going to be the media and they are just as guilty as not one player has said a thing about her sexuality. EXCEPT THE MEDIA.
Swoopes apologized? post a link. I saw her double down on her lies on the Gilbert Arenas show and state she's black so she can't be racist. Turasi kept it real. Wow. Racism is keeping it real. Uh huh.
It's like the Family Guy Star Wars parody, Peter as Han Solo says "There are only 2 women in the galaxy and the hate each other"
Like Kendrick said: "women in general just dont get along"
I watched Brianna Stewart go 5 for 22 while missing numerous 5 to 10 jumpers and everyone was talking about how she was “ballin out” ……. Bro what ???
😂😂😂😂
LOLOOILOOL
@@asc00pamanuka it’s like watching paint dry bro. Straight cheeks!!!
Tell me, when have you seen anyone wearing a Kelsey Plum jersey? I'll wait🤔🤔🤔 Ladies 🛑 the cap, nobody was watching this league until Caitlin Clark came.Stop hating cause she straight, white,n got more game than most of my sistas😡🤬🤔get real B's, She is the Savior of this piss poor example of a professional failing league 🤬😡🤬🤔🏀🏀🏀😎
Sht most white girls don't even play basketball lol they will be 7 feet and rather play volleyball
I commented on a short I saw recently where Caitlyn was being physically targeted on the court… I commented about how it’s happening due to jealousy… no one watched the WNBA .. most still don’t.. but if it were more exciting, physical, etc, we would’ve been… but it just wasn’t… now it is, but only towards one player… that screams “jealousy”.. one reply I got was from a female telling the WNBA has “always been physical” and there is NO jealousy towards Caitlyn… lol… these people are delusional and unfortunately it’s going to cause the WNBA to fold… Caitlyn is the last best chance they have.. if they continue abusing her like the Pistons did Jordan, she will walk… why put your long term physical health on the line day in, day out? She worked to get as good as she is.. it was handed to her..
I love how all the clips are airballs and blown layups
Yes! It's typical of the plays in the WNBA. It's almost unwatchable.
The game is still ass. Lowering the rim would make it watchable. Ain't nobody watching the NBA if it's a layup line and missed 3's. Same with the WNBA.
I don’t know why this is such an issue when it’s brought up. They already play with a smaller ball, shorter games, and shorter three point line.
Their ball is smaller, their 3 pt line is closer. Wouldn’t lowering the rim make it more proportional? Yes
@@danielamon6978 and i don't know why nobody brings this fact to the argument.. If i was the one asking question about lowing the rim and being told this is the most offensive question to ask i would literraly make fun of how playing with smaller ball, shorter games, shorter 3pt line is not offensive and lowing rim is lol.
the probem is women dont watch wnba
The wnba is like watching a layup line with missed 3s and missed midrange. It’s literally watching a middle school boys game at best
Joe Biden should make those comments for the working class and not entertainers.
Well he gave them all relief and tax cuts, Increased Spending on regular jobs for them, GAve more taxes back for families, More for education and helped cut off a lot of them on paying back college loans, what else shall he do make it all free ?

I think that it started with Britney Griner. She was harassed by some RUclipsr in Ford Worth airport in 2023, and the team was escorted to the plane by police.
Then they would lose money if the started sharing profit sharing 😂😂😂
Excelling? Am I missing something here an average NBA game Scores over 100 point a game. An Average WNBA scores maybe what 70? Divde 70 by the number of players on the team and that is what 10 points per player? You call this Excelling? I call this delusional plain and Simple. Now I don't really focus in on either because I am not a sports fan but I don't need to be if you can call this Excelling!!!
I am not an Iowa fan, despite living 20 miles from the university. I never watched a woman's game until the 2023 finals. I may not even be a Caitlin Clark fan- the jury is out. But, this woman is the Joe Namath of women's professional basketball. Namath changed the game, and is the reason NFL players started making a living playing football. Caitlin is the reason WNBA players will start earning money. Will others help? Of course! But they are not Caitlin Clark. TAKE NOTE- I AM THE STILL SMALL VOICE SAYING SHE WILL CHANGE THE GAME THE WAY NAMATH CHANGED THE GAME. So, yeah, I have a WNBA season pass. Because of Caitlin Clark. A BIG PLUS- since This is the real beginning of the WNBA, you don't get as many commercials as you get basketball. Pretty cool! NOW, TO GET THE OTHER WOMEN IN THE LEAGUE TO FIGURE IT OUT AND APPRECIATE HER INSTEAD OF BEATING HER UP!
I live in the DFW area in Texas. Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever’s 1st preseason game was against the Dallas Wings in early May. Other passengers on the same flight with the Indiana Fever were being interviewed by the local news at DFW Airport and they were all shocked to see Caitlin Clark and the Fever on the same commercial flight. Then a few days later the chartered flights during the regular season was announced. The WNBA was embarrassed because the general public didn’t know that the WNBA flew commercial. 🤣🤣🤣
He really said the woman is really good at basketball which is shocking
I'm 37 years old and for the first time in my life I unironically watched a WNBA highlight video (I enjoy the lowlights videos people make, and that's all I ever watched before 😄) and it was because I heard all this talk of Caitlin Clark. I watched the video and was highly impressed. I didn't even think twice about her race, and had no clue what her sexuality was.
The only thought I had was "I could watch this".
The WNBA is not an enjoyable product. It’s very boring.
Come on, Mike. You're smart enough to know that all women secretly hate each other.
I'm offended you feel that way.
WNBA players earn most of their income in Europe. The WNBA is just seasonal work.
WNBA players cannot afford to focus on dunking, because that wouldn't translate to Europe, and therefore it probably wouldn't help to lower the rims.
In the middle of last year's college season I heard about this girl from Iowa who was lighting up women's basketball! I went over and checked her games out and I became an instant Fan!!! So now I'm excited about the WNBA and all I see is jealousy and hate from the WNBA players! Even her own team mates don't stand up for her! Coaches are ragging on her, Officials ignore the ridiculous fowls! WTF man!
Yes sonny there is a thing called overagressive blacks .that are very privileged. When there attack and ate not held accountable.
Tall privilege? 😂
lmao
Its a thing in dating and sports
Just another "word salad" term, made up, to further divide an already mangled facet of "entertainment"... Pettiness is in full bloom...
@@frandavis1990 It's a thing in basketball because skill at the game is directly correlated with height.
