It is pretty funny that the owner mentioned Angel, who the Mystics passed over in the draft, instead of her own rookie. I'm sure that makes Edwards feel great.
And this owner didn’t express any outrage over the WSJ article which featured A’ja and Reese or Reese being on that Sports Illustrated cover. Hmmm, wonder why?
it's a trick. Just trying to bring additional hate to Angel. Mind you, Angel has never said one negative thing about CC. They need to call someone else's name and leave the poor young girl out of the drama.
After 24 hours of so much hateful commentary, I haven’t heard any of the WNBA players speak out for Caitlin Clark except for Lexi Brown! Unbelievable!!
Neither did any of her teammates react, for whom she cares so much, unlike the fans. Though it's only the interest of those fans that makes her earn so much money.
Well it is the off season and most players don’t want to get involved which is somewhat understandable. I’m sure they are all talking amongst themselves
90% of WNBA players play the exact same boring way. They bully their way to the basket and attempt a lay-up. CC is unique, long 3s, pinpoint passes, and spin move to the hoop. She plays more like someone in the NBA, not the WNBA.
She is spot on. Can you believe she said pointing out one players hurts the others and she did the same thing. The numbers at away games was under appreciated by many. Wishing health to Lexi Brown had been listening to her some this year.
The problem with the WNBA is they have a very vocal minority that silences the rest of the players, and coaches. If more players like Lexie would start speaking up, things would change for the better in the WNBA.
"can we please stop taking steps backwards?!" This needed to be said by someone who did in fact throw shade at CC in the past. So it is much more valuable, more important coming from a Lexi Brown. Fingers crossed the seed is planted and sprouts and grows.
Well said. I give Lexi credit for changing her opinion on CC after her team lost to the Fever rather than keep doubling down on her initial take. She went on say that CC would have 2-3 triple doubles by the end of her rookie year.
I listened to Lexi Brown on that Gil's Arena podcast and you could hear her begrudging respect for Caitlin's abilities. She did not deny that truth. And she was a player that impressed me early in the season. I'm sad for her and the league that she has not been able to play.
Caitlin Clark broke over 60 records her rookie season and was responsible for the leap in attendance, not only for the Fever, but the entire WNBA, a leap in financial revenue of 36 million for Indianapolis and a 2 billion dollar tv contract with the WNBA and this owner doesn’t think Cc deserves Athlete of the Year? Give me a break!
As the Women's Pro Golf association showed, they know how to promote and cherish a superstar like CC better than CC's own league. The WNBA shouldn't need a Lexie Brown to call out their shortcomings, but here we are.
@jeffg1524 I so wish the WNBA would have used CC as a building block like the NBA did with MJ. Promote the superstar and also the stars. That way, all of the players could have been lifted up. Instead, they gave ignored their one superstore and missed a once in a generation opportunity.
@@herbb8547 The WNBA commissioner is weak. Poor ownership and leadership. Why is women's college basketball is more popular than a professional league with 144 of the best players from college? This should be a no brainer.
I knew it from the day 1 of CC in WNBA, It's not just the Players who hated her from the get go It's basically the team organization of those Players. 😅
Lexie Brown's dad Dee Brown played for the Boston Celtics and won the 1991 slam dunk contest despite being only 1.83 m tall. She grew up in basketball so she knows what a good players is. She was talking about Caitlin Clark before everyone else.
💯 especially when they have a generational player and the other basketball league (NBA) It is having all-time low ratings. It is the moment to take over, but they want to be activists...
@@jinku77 -- But even as activists, they have failed. I didn't even know they existed until CC joined last year. I knew nothing about the WNBA all that time.
you have to remember she also had half of her basketball year still in college . That alone would justify her winning the award. Now add on what she did in the wbna and its a no brainer.
THANK YOU LEXIE. .So glad that every player thst I liked from past to present has actually spoken up positively about CC. We need MORE of this - especially from the big fishes.... Reese and Aja and Chelsea Gray
@@JL.. I don't think she would either for a different reason. She doesn't want to be bullied more than she already has. From what I am seeing, WNBA doesn't just bully WW... they bully BEAUTIFUL women, especially those who don't respond to their sexual advances. Candance Parker was bullied, Skylar Diggans still gets bullied (I don't feel sorry for her though), Candace Wiggins got bullied as well. And I am not saying they are attractive (what matters is if the other women in the league saw them as attractive) but Liz Cambage and Jewell Lloyd has also been bullied. And if they are not bullied, then they get cut. Kysre G, the most beautiful woman in the W, and Celeste Taylor, were cut (thankfully Celeste was picked up). And Nika Muhl was simply rotting on the bench. Angel Reese knows the deal, so she will almost never support CC unless she KNOWS she won't get blowback. No matter what she says, she knows a lot of the women do not like her. There is a REASON why we NEVER see pics of Angel Reese hainging out with her teammates or going to an NBA game together like we do CC with Lexi Hull, Boston, and Mitchell. Kysre was Reese's only friend on that team and they cut her.
WNBA….how not to run a business/league. I thought that it was leadership of the commissioner that was clueless, but it turns out now that the team owners seem to be just as clueless, if not more than the commissioner.
The total irony of this situation is that no one will benefit more financially from the Caitlin Clark Effect than the owners!! The innate value of every W team will increase exponentially over the course of Clark's career. The owners should be promoting Caitlin, not stomping on her.
Controversial comments always get more attention than positive comments. The Mystics owner’s comments are counterproductive for the WNBA but fortunately they aren’t representative of the other owners who have acknowledged Clark’s role in increasing attendance and viewership.
I am a Lexi Brown fan because she calls it the way she sees it. She was critical of CC before she played CC in the Sparks game. She said CC was just a 3 point shooter. After the game, Lexi was praising CC for her court vision and predicted CC would have 2-3 triples doubles in her rookie year. I don't think this owner really watched the game and see what CC was doing on the court. If you compute the points and points assisted, CC lead the league in 2024 which speaks to her impact on the game.
@@DinoBino-zo3ue I am not sure how much she pays attention when she had to move the FEVER game from her 4000 seat arena to the 20K arena because Caitlan was playing. She would have seen 5 times as many people going to the game. June 14 vs. Chicago's Angel Reese - 4200 fans. July 14 vs Las Vegas Aces A'ja Wilson played it was 4200 fans. Both Fever games? 20,000. "Something just clicked"
@@knishimura13 your preaching to the pastor rn buddy. I get it, and I'm aware of all this. But there's no way she's not watching her own team's games. These people SEE the same thing we do. The difference is, we're watching with joy and amazement, they're watching through envious eyes and it shows in their responses. Lexi stood on Reese and Clark being equally talented multiple times in Gill's arena, so she has absolutely no credibility to me.
@@DinoBino-zo3ue You are correct. They are biased so they see things the way they want. I am willing to forgive her because she changed her tune right after playing against CC. Its hard to ignore CC greatness after playing against her.
Whoahhhh Lexie Brown!!! Lets Go!! At least you know at the end of the day, Money is a major issue and theres no growth without stars that can generate it, and attacking your stars hinders it.
What's amazing to me is the ignorance of this hate. She was named Athlete of the year not team or group. There has been no one who has created as much buzz in sports as Caitlin Clark this year 2024. She brought women's basketball into conversation. It's not a race card it's a performance card we have never seen before.
If this is coming from owners there is no way this league will change any time soon. The NBA is the only ones that can fix this. Drop them and make them survive on their own. Enough of this crap.
Sheila Johnson said that Time should have it like WNBA should be named "League of the Year". Where was was WNBA when Caitlin is not playing there?? People only come to know and watch WNBA when CAitlin starts playing that leauge - the WORLD only recognozes WNBA when CC is there playing. i started to LIKE WNBA when CC joins the leauge and all the other countries for sure, ( I am from philippines and never before watch WNBA only does when CC is there...) Lexei B is absolutely right to calls out SJ and all oher haters out there...if they (haters, jealous) could only just embrace what CC did to sports surely WNBA would go rocket high in ratings and everythng connected with it!!!"
@@taggangmemberit's coming! Gil n them know exactly what time it is now! Everybodys gonna star getting off C²so back cuz other players are gonna start speaking to since Lexie did that! God bless you and your career Lexie.❤🎉😂
Most of the season I’ve just been tired of all the disrespect, jealousy, pettiness, hate, divisiveness and outright hostility that so many have spewed Caitlin Clark’s way. To say it hasn’t been an attractive look is a gross understatement. Now, I’m literally repulsed. I’m not going anywhere because I follow and support those who don’t contribute to that cesspool of negativity, but I just can’t wait for the wave that’s inevitably coming that will sweep all that away.
No she was a hater!! Watch her on that trash podcast with Gil she was always hating on CC with that stank face every time the one guy praised CC. Now all of the sudden she’s changing her tune🤫😂
Ms. Johnson's own Mystics team rookie... Aliyah Edwards... is the UConn player wearing a mask who set the illegal screen in the 2024 Final Four that turned the ball over to Iowa instead of getting a last shot for Paige Bueckers for the win. Iowa then ran out the final seconds to win the game and advance to the National Championship game. Geno Auriemma is still pissed over this call and it's probably part of his Caitlin resentment issue. I'm sure Aliyah Edwards is a good player and a lovely person and I'm not intending to diss her. I wish her all the success in the world in the WNBA. P.S. It was the correct call in the Final Four.
I would bet most of the players in the league hate that there is such racially based discourse constantly. They just want to play ball for a living. And now Caitlin has shown that it is possible to become a mega superstar in this game - follow her lead, improve your game, add something to your game that is special for the fans, let your positive personality out on the court to let the fans know you love playing the game and entertaining them. Fans are now watching, give them something to watch and fall in love with - that is what Caitlin did and that is why she is a mega superstar. Others who follow this lead will not regret it.
It takes guts to do the right thing when physical persecution is one possible response and there is very little support shown from other people. I salute Lexie Brown as both courageous and gallant. A small voice of truth in an ocean of lies can be very powerful.
The WNBA is the 2nd most embarrassing professional sports league I've ever heard of. The lack of professionalism by their players (cattiness, bullying, physical assaults, narcissism, jealousy), coaches, owners, referees, and management is appalling. The NFL is number one because they promote and don't punish rapists and domestic abusers on their teams (see Cleveland Browns who have two QBs who are rapists/sexual abusers).
She didn't say Clark is a great player. They're all on the wrong side of reality as long as they can't acknowledge that she's one of the top 4 players in the league and as the youngest it's more than likely that she will become the best.
What that mystics owner was doing is very diabolical. You aren't doing anything to recognise Caitlin's efforts, but when someone did, you go and say she would not be the only one recognised. The nerve
The Mystics owner should spend some time thinking about her team. The Mystics still don’t have a head coach or coaching staff. What is going to happen with Elena Della Donne. Who will they draft with two high picks? Worry about her own team.
CC was pushed Hard into speaking what was SAID ITS SAD AF 😢🙏!! OMG SO MANY KIDS see her as hero, but noe, i m sorry, the words she spoke cry RACISM and We are not tolerating that HE LL NO
25ys of mediocrity has a way of blinding one to excellence. It is a shame how many players want recognition for just being in the league. Pettiness, jealousy and racism are not attractive nor productive . The time is now for your league to move forward and expand. Caitlin Clark is the catalyst . All one has to do is move with it. Just remember more young players will be coming. And they to will be bringing new styles and talents.
WNBA viewership is 100% guaranteed to go through the roof next year. Not only is Clark a genuine baller, the world now knows she has big balls and not afraid to speak her mind. Nobody cares about the keyboard warriors, good riddance
I don't think so. I expect the Fever games to be all sold out. But I doubt other teams attendance will increase at all. If anything, non Fever games may very likely decrease in attendance and viewership. CC brought a lot of new fans to the game, but all the negativity is likely to drive many of them away. People don't care for the nonsense and it is all to easy to just change the channel.
Funny how you try to seperate the 2. I follow Clark/iowa close online and have gone to games and purchased wnba pass. Wont be doing either this season. You are wrong
All the silly drama about personalities are the biggest problem with the W. The owners, players and league officials need media training to learn how to stay on message instead of them just saying whatever BS that pops into their heads. You hardly even see this sort of thing in any man's sport but it is seems to happen daily in the W and it frankly shows that this league, even at it's advanced age (
There will be none matter of fact I'll be more looking all of us Judgment of one person that's 22 years old I'm curious what's going to happen next year the viewers who cares I guarantee she doesn't a basketball she's paying her dreams coaches and their families and their parents people's statements on social media doesn't mean nothing
these comments by ppl in the wnba/ college ,coaches, alum just makes for more interest- but not in a positive way. MY INTEREST IN UCONN LOSING WAS PEAKED THE OTHER NIGHT. and im so glad it came true.
Lexie is spot-on with her speaking out. Imagine, you needing help in having something be seen more, have new followers, then when it begins to grow, you remove what's helping it, and now it's not doing anything. I can see why the league hemorrhages money at the end of the season, now they have an expansion team? Good luck with unrivaled, that'll be a novelty item.
Dam this crohns girlie didnt know she had crohns...honestly, for her to be able to play at all at that level is good on her! Everyones different but its never simple!
Right you know it’s bad 😂ohh how the tides have turned lol she’s still a hater. That one comment don’t make you not a hater! Jokes on all of you who think she’s had a change of heart magically 😂
The Wnba seems to be going with the strategy "any attention is good attention." If they put a stop to all this, they are scared of being out of the conversation, so they'd rather have this negative talk than no talk at all. I wish they'd realize that it's just a bad look on the product. People can see they're not a united group which will allow the trolls (who are already a crazy bunch) to further pick them apart and that will ultimately hurt them.
TIME Magazine named Caitlin Clark Athlete of the Year for 2024. BET Co-Founder Sheila Johnson just said that TIME should not have named one person but instead, should have named the whole WNBA. A few months ago her former network, BET, named Angel Reese Sportswoman of the Year for 2024. Why didn't she say that BET should have named the whole WNBA? Someone please ask her this. Hypocrisy and racism separately are bad enough. But combined, they are insufferable.
Cc was 4th in mvp voting and she is not even close to hitting her prime. In a couple years when she is hands down the best player in the league all this bs will stop.
Good on her. I like Lexie Brown. She seems nice judging from listening her sit in and call one of the games last season. I felt bad that she is struggling with this serious intestinal health issue. On top of all that, she happens to be quite attractive as well lol.
@@colleenposadas8415 Are you saying she can't recover enough to return to play? I do know that these types of ailments have a tendency to stick around.
It is pretty funny that the owner mentioned Angel, who the Mystics passed over in the draft, instead of her own rookie. I'm sure that makes Edwards feel great.
And this owner didn’t express any outrage over the WSJ article which featured A’ja and Reese or Reese being on that Sports Illustrated cover. Hmmm, wonder why?

It's not the responsibility of other players to cape for her. She's an adult and should be able to deal with the consequences of her own actions.

I love Lexi on Gil’s arena. She brings good perspective.
Nice to see a player speak up!
Fiebich is so experienced, calling her a rookie is a mistake.
It took Lexie a minute but I think now that she had to compete against Caitlin, she respects her game and understands Caitlin puts butts in the seats.
It takes guts to do the right thing when physical persecution is one possible response and there is very little support shown from other people. I salute Lexie Brown as both courageous and gallant. A small voice of truth in an ocean of lies can be very powerful.
The WNBA is the 2nd most embarrassing professional sports league I've ever heard of. The lack of professionalism by their players (cattiness, bullying, physical assaults, narcissism, jealousy), coaches, owners, referees, and management is appalling. The NFL is number one because they promote and don't punish rapists and domestic abusers on their teams (see Cleveland Browns who have two QBs who are rapists/sexual abusers).
Still not watching nfl. Old seahawk fan
The NBA should stop funding them.
She didn't say Clark is a great player. They're all on the wrong side of reality as long as they can't acknowledge that she's one of the top 4 players in the league and as the youngest it's more than likely that she will become the best.
Youngest?
Clark plays identity politics too! She’s a horrible role model now
Sorry spellcheck, error. I wrote keep on, the haters have driven away fans . Sorry people
I was 50/50 on renewing my league pass after this last season but after everything that has happened, that's gunna be a hard no.
Yep just got around to cancelling mine yesterday
What that mystics owner was doing is very diabolical. You aren't doing anything to recognise Caitlin's efforts, but when someone did, you go and say she would not be the only one recognised. The nerve
It’s not diabolical, it’s just stupid
Thanks Mick
He played for University of Illinois and was really fun to watch!
The Mystics owner should spend some time thinking about her team. The Mystics still don’t have a head coach or coaching staff. What is going to happen with Elena Della Donne. Who will they draft with two high picks? Worry about her own team.
😂😂😂😂 … no wonder why WNBA status is really crap … because the teams themselves are being run by ridiculous people …
CC was pushed Hard into speaking what was SAID ITS SAD AF 😢🙏!! OMG SO MANY KIDS see her as hero, but noe, i m sorry, the words she spoke cry RACISM and We are not tolerating that HE LL NO
The WNBA needs exorcism!
1000% and no joke
25ys of mediocrity has a way of blinding one to excellence. It is a shame how many players want recognition for just being in the league. Pettiness, jealousy and racism are not attractive nor productive . The time is now for your league to move forward and expand. Caitlin Clark is the catalyst . All one has to do is move with it. Just remember more young players will be coming. And they to will be bringing new styles and talents.
WNBA viewership is 100% guaranteed to go through the roof next year.
Not only is Clark a genuine baller, the world now knows she has big balls and not afraid to speak her mind.
Nobody cares about the keyboard warriors, good riddance
I don't think so. I expect the Fever games to be all sold out. But I doubt other teams attendance will increase at all. If anything, non Fever games may very likely decrease in attendance and viewership. CC brought a lot of new fans to the game, but all the negativity is likely to drive many of them away. People don't care for the nonsense and it is all to easy to just change the channel.
@@herbb8547 You may be correct about that. They are not doing themselves any favors with all the negativity
Funny how you try to seperate the 2. I follow Clark/iowa close online and have gone to games and purchased wnba pass. Wont be doing either this season. You are wrong
THEY WILL NEVER BE HAPPY WITH CC i bet she was told to shut the hell up and play ball she didn't listen now she needs to deal with the fall out
You can't ruin what was never good.
All the silly drama about personalities are the biggest problem with the W. The owners, players and league officials need media training to learn how to stay on message instead of them just saying whatever BS that pops into their heads. You hardly even see this sort of thing in any man's sport but it is seems to happen daily in the W and it frankly shows that this league, even at it's advanced age (
I'm genuinely curious how much viewership will be lost next season due to the wnba getting in their own way and CC's recent time interview 🤔
The viewership will go up
@@SGriTa913 Your are right.... Drama always brings more views....
It might not.players,owners,referees and media like espn annoy ppl so much.@@SGriTa913
There will be none matter of fact I'll be more looking all of us Judgment of one person that's 22 years old I'm curious what's going to happen next year the viewers who cares I guarantee she doesn't a basketball she's paying her dreams coaches and their families and their parents people's statements on social media doesn't mean nothing
@MarkHarper-ek8ss hard to read your incomplete thoughts buddy...but thanks for your opinion
these comments by ppl in the wnba/ college ,coaches, alum just makes for more interest- but not in a positive way. MY INTEREST IN UCONN LOSING WAS PEAKED THE OTHER NIGHT. and im so glad it came true.
How is it a troll when you have a public statement from a WNBA Owner?
Lexie is spot-on with her speaking out. Imagine, you needing help in having something be seen more, have new followers, then when it begins to grow, you remove what's helping it, and now it's not doing anything. I can see why the league hemorrhages money at the end of the season, now they have an expansion team? Good luck with unrivaled, that'll be a novelty item.
The Time award was ATHLETE OF THE YEAR not basketball player of the year. Grow up, are you 3 years old?
Closer to 83 i think
Dam this crohns girlie didnt know she had crohns...honestly, for her to be able to play at all at that level is good on her! Everyones different but its never simple!
FACTS! Double standards reign supreme in the league. Huge respect to Lexie Brown for standing up for what's right.
Good on Lexie Brown! I’m really glad she is acknowledging this is wrong!
The WNBA is sitting on a powder keg playing with matches, it won't end well.
You can't blame a 22-year-old for folding to the mob. She just doesn't want to be attacked when playing her favorite sports.
I don't.
She is listening and repeating lies. It also will not appease the haters.
Who is Lexi.....Brown? Never heard of her.🤔
Haters going to hate. Haters never win
I think Aliyah Edwards played better for the Mystics than she did for UCONN.
😂 When a known CC hater like Lexie calls you out!!!
She stopped that months ago. She knows CC is the one
@@taggangmember Irelevant. Doesn't wipe out the umpteen receipts.
Right you know it’s bad 😂ohh how the tides have turned lol she’s still a hater. That one comment don’t make you not a hater! Jokes on all of you who think she’s had a change of heart magically 😂
Keep on brown, you haters have driven away more fans then you actually have.
Oops damn spell check, meant THE haters. Sorry
The Wnba seems to be going with the strategy "any attention is good attention." If they put a stop to all this, they are scared of being out of the conversation, so they'd rather have this negative talk than no talk at all. I wish they'd realize that it's just a bad look on the product. People can see they're not a united group which will allow the trolls (who are already a crazy bunch) to further pick them apart and that will ultimately hurt them.
Wished the Fever had Edwards.
This is Lexie getting strength from her brothers on Gils Arena to speak up
The bigger picture here is, the real athlete of the year is a Japanese guy in LA. And it's not even close.
TIME Magazine named Caitlin Clark Athlete of the Year for 2024. BET Co-Founder Sheila Johnson just said that TIME should not have named one person but instead, should have named the whole WNBA. A few months ago her former network, BET, named Angel Reese Sportswoman of the Year for 2024. Why didn't she say that BET should have named the whole WNBA? Someone please ask her this. Hypocrisy and racism separately are bad enough. But combined, they are insufferable.
If i was KK I'd skip the Washington trip next year
Trade Smith for EdWARDS.
Honestly who would want smith
Cc was 4th in mvp voting and she is not even close to hitting her prime. In a couple years when she is hands down the best player in the league all this bs will stop.
Where is the WNBPA at???
Damn right!
They are CC haters
Shohei Ohtani should’ve been athlete of the year! Not even close. CC came back like she’s been at a WNBA reeducation camp.
Boycott Washington games...but wait...who is watching? Never mind, they will self-destruct with that kind of nonsense.
love Lexie Brown!! so much respect for her for saying something.
The co-owner co-founded BET, says it all.
Aint dat beez da troof, nah'means.
Good on her. I like Lexie Brown. She seems nice judging from listening her sit in and call one of the games last season. I felt bad that she is struggling with this serious intestinal health issue. On top of all that, she happens to be quite attractive as well lol.
As a nurse I do not think that disease is compatible with any pro sport. Unfortunately
@@colleenposadas8415 Are you saying she can't recover enough to return to play? I do know that these types of ailments have a tendency to stick around.
Lexie used to be a Caitlin hater.
Clark had to 'bend the knee''. She's alone on a battlefield and nodody will stand with her.
The W? Worthless
Forget CC and focus on the orange man person of the year. This is a distraction from 2025. Stay focused
We are. We cant wait.
Funny if they give the award to AJA the wnba will celebrate her !!
She didn’t ain’t mention her own rookie does she like Aliyah Edward’s
Crazy
I aint hating on the girl...Aliyah Edwards only claim to fame.....she played at UConn. Yeah and?
