Yeah I'm rocking with a player that MISSES 59 percent of all her shots, 67 percent of her 3 point shots, leads the league in turnovers, has a horrible shot selection and is a defensive liability.
Ask Dominique Wilkins if he agrees. That’s hilarious coming from a guy like Rodman whose value was to specifically rebound and defend. He didn’t have an all around game and that’s ok. Nobody knocks him for that, but even he gets to be a racial gatekeeper for basketball?
He'd be viewed as a legend, not an all-time top 5 player. It's not a coincidence he has the least amount of rings in the general top 5. They protect their heritage. Look how they reduce Kobe. When it's their own they amplify them. The great hope thing is real. LA has better role players than AR, but he gets celebrated & placed on murals. Bird has a folk tale about a "left handed game". Firstly, he is left handed, tho his dominant basketball hand is his right. Secondly, he took about 10 shots w his left that ALL consisted of layups, a couple of floaters & a couple of dunks. I'm positively certain IT saw the extreme sensationalism & glory Bird got in comparison 2 the other all-time greats of the time. Same thing w Caitlin. You can't say 10/28 was a horrible performance & that's simply why Iowa lost, but they'll rip Kobe 4 going 6/24 in a win. Y'all keep caping 4 them.
So based on what she said about Kelsey Plum not getting all of this hype when she broke the record, it's not racial because she's also white. So how is it racial with Caitlin Clark? Is comes off as insecurity because of the coverage Caitlin Clark gets. Keyshawn even said Caitlin only gets coverage because of basketball skill.
It is racial because of the Angel Reese hate and death threats. People feel the need to defend Caitlin from the big bad bully Reese. She is getting the attention because of the incident and she is a white girl playing for an mostly white Iowa team.
@@mankind71 Wrong and she is wrong. Why? Cuz Caitlin broke multiple records, Plumm broke 2! Any other questions? I have never been around so many Black sisters and men that have been so jealous and racists in my life! We all should be ashamed of ourselves. It's sad reality because it's so obvious
@@YourfavoriteEx41 Magic, Dr J, Kareem, Karl, Moses, Akeem, Ewing, Curry, Lebron, KD, Thompson, I could literally name at least a hundred. White players? About ten or so that got the same kind of recognition as great players.
If Caitlin wasnt shooting and making ridiculous deep off dribble 3s I promise you the hype wouldn’t be there. She has THE MOST EXCITING SKILL SET IN BASKETBALL!
@@JOneHundredTV lol you are just talking now. 😂😂 To regular people they are exciting and that's why the numbers showcase an astronomical increase in viewership whenever Caitlin Clark is involved. Now you might be tapped in the head and rather watch lay ups
@@JOneHundredTVyou ever here of a guy named Steph curry? His threes ain’t have to be buzzer beaters when he was dead as shooting them from anywhere he wanted with all type of hands in his face, she’s the female version of Steph
Caitlin literally drained Steph Curry distance threes consistently. She also led a very average Iowa program to the championship game twice and she sold out at virtually every game she played in. So yeah, she deserves all the glory and accolades. The hate and jealousy of females are something else.
It’s not hate or jealousy It’s how the media pushed Caitlin to the forefront and kept everyone else in the background South Carolina was dominant all season and was undefeated but the media was talking about Caitlin Clark the entire season Caitlin Clark is great but spread the media attention if you trying to hype up women’s sports You can’t hype up women sports by putting one person in front and keeping everyone else in the background
@@brandonbean30 bruh, that's basically saying you don't watch sports. Tom Brady, Steph Curry, LeBron, Tiger Woods. These are players who boosted based on their performance and results. Swap their skin colors but keep the performance, they're still gonna shine brighter than the others
@@malasc12 I’m black by the way Fam when Tiger dominated golf when golf was predominantly a white sport Serena dominated tennis when that sport was predominantly white LeBron changed high school sports Steph made NBA WNBA High School NCAA Basketball men and women to shoot more 3’s which inspired Caitlin Clark South Carolina was undefeated all season but the media kept talking about Caitlin Clark all season long Black athletes have to go above and beyond just to be accepted by Corporate America Do come at me with “You have to make everything about race” History of America was founded by Native Americans before White people invaded and killed Native Americans and have the nerve to “claimed” or “discovered” it was their land How you discovered something that someone else had founded?🧐
I think Clark gets coverage cus she good. Reese got good coverage too. Juju didnt get enough. Other players breaking records too. Juju did for sure as freshman. But they def dont hype up other sensations like Jada Williams, Hannah Hidalgo. Georgia amoore is white and she didnt get too much coverage. Ppl in love with 3 ball so Clark was biggest
I'm getting tired of hearing about victimhood let's be real everybody giving Clayton Clark and say angel Reese is wack even on injuries is All American all SEC all Defensive Player of the Year like she ain't been a top player in college her whole career Caitlin Clark has proven that she's not a top player when it's time to prove it in the championship level
@@kennysmith1336that’s stupid do you know how many nba players don’t have college rings?championships are a team thing not individual… steph didn’t win at Davidson so what he’s not a top player all of sudden
thats because they were in a white dominated sport. they had no choice but to stand out. Caitlin is kind of the same way. Make no mistake the angel reese caitlan clark think gave them both a big boost
@@saplez - NAH, the growth of the game is due solely to CC. Whether you like it or not. Whether you want to give credit or not. The numbers do NOT life. The TOP 3 most-watched women's games ever in the NCAA ALL contain Caitlin Clark.
@@sterlingwilliams8645 wow u couldn't be more wrong since social media has given a voice to minorites and social justice warriors the white people who would have been outrage already had a voice
It’s not race, it’s her play style is something new and refreshing, way more exciting than the usual. The women are talented but sometimes it doesn’t look as good.
I think we should embrace the fact that it’s both and that is totally fine. She is a superstar, but she also looks like a lot of ordinary kids that often don’t find superstars that look like them. Why is this a virtue for everyone else but a vice when a plain looking little white girl finds a generational star to look up to? Everyone should be happy about it, especially being that we have a star with no tattoos, who is str8, who doesn’t look like a drg queen, and who listens to her father. It’s a sign of the times that people totally miss this or notice it and are triggered by it.
a girl dropping back to back to back 40points in a tournament game is not sensationalized i am sorry. Why do these gils arenas people hate to give Clark her props. The girl shots from half court like its a free throw. Funny enough when Trae Young was doing similar being tagged as Steph Curry 2.0 not a single nba player past or present had a problem. But with Clark, there is always something to complain about or some backhand compliment. Why?
I just couldn't disagree any more with this sentiment...that black athletes need to do something other than simply dominate to get attention. That take is inarguably, objectively inaccurate. If you switch the skin colors, at least there are situational examples of it, but even then, it's not all that prevalent. I think we're conflating the fact that covering athletes has become covering them as people, as well as players, because fans are of course interested in what high level athletes do when they're not doing their thing. What Jemele, & so many others, are doing by saying these types of things about CC is they're dramatically underselling her sheer greatness. The irony is, if she were black, they'd be falling all over themselves to talk about how she's an all-timer who has single-handedly changed the game & elevated it to all new heights, bringing all girls & women up with her. They'd spend so much time examining how much more money all female athletes will make as a result of her play, instead of shrugging & basically saying "I mean, she's OK, but come on...y'all only excited 'cause she's white." It's just disingenuous racially motivated ill-will.
the difference between plum & clark in the NCAA tourney, is that the eye test on clark feels like youre watching the NBA (not WNBA) while plum feels like the WNBA...
I'm confused so you say black women need to do extra to get that amount of attention then uses uses the example of Kelsey Plum another white woman that didn't get nearly as much media attention to make your point.... completely disregarding the fact that literally everyone is saying Juju is on pace to be better than CC. This victimhood mentality is wild.
Naaa juju nit better then Clark but I will say this juju by far is the best scorer in the game,you got to remember Clark a triple double almost every game she be off on rebounds but she gets everybody involved juju more take control when we down type of player
@@malasc12 Clark is the better offensive player I agree but juju is a better scorer, in no way am I saying juju better then Clark cuz she’s not but juju is special we seen the drop 54 or 51
She has the most points ever. Including men and women. If you are breaking Pistol Pete's record there is something wrong if you are not getting the attention Caitlin is getting.
That right there is a perfect example! Media hype! 2different leagues. Men and Women. CC didn't play against Men so how could she break a Men's NCAA record? Answer: she can't. She broke the womans record, (well she really didn't, but that's another Oprah) but it sounds much better to say she broke P. Pete's record because that's a better story!
@terryleonard2 You didn’t even make the good argument for what you were trying to say. You made the silly one instead. The good argument is that Pistol Pete didn’t have a three-point shot when he played (and still scored 100 in a game). Keep in mind though, she has one more year of eligibility. Regardless, for Clark to be neck and neck with him is truly incredible. I’m a Louisiana native and former LSU student. We don’t throw his name around lightly, but Clark is just as great if not greater.
I find it funny that basketball fans who are too young to remember the 90's glamorous the era but yet trash current womens basketball. Its 90's basketball without the dunking! Its tall woman, center oriented basketball! Thats why Clark gets all the hype because shes not playing 90's ball, shes playing 2010-2020 ball. People love the 3 more than they admit.
Nobody has the game that CC has sorry to say it but it's flashy like Jordan, Magic, Bird and so on and that pulls people in the rest of the W has great players no doubt but they don't have the flash that CC has it isn't a dig on other players it's just a fact. She is also bringing in a fresh crop of fans that will recognize the other players for how good they are but they want to see what CC brings to the game it's just facts. Constantly bringing this back to black and white is what will keep this country divided for all time she is lifting ALL players no matter what skin color they have and getting them recognized!!!! She is a generational talent and everyone wants to see that and I will tell you this as a white man JuJu if she keeps going the way she is will be someone I watch too because of how she plays, she is flashy and fast can drive and bomb three's just like CC and that is what I want to see! People need to stop listening to the race trolls on BOTH sides and just admire the players game regardless of color.
There have been white girls playing basketball for years and they didn't get all the attention, Caitlin is different, she broke the scoring record, she has added something completely different to the game and the fact is that women's basketball has been boring prior to her. Sorry Lexie, not buying it.
Caitlin Clark got more attention than Plum because she was more exciting. Just like Kobe got more attention than Tim Duncan because he was more exciting to watch. We have a history of not just black players but dark skin players getting more attention than white players. What are we talking about here.
Plum and Clark same position, Duncan and Kobe far from the same position. Marketing guards has always been better. Who gets the signature shoes, guards.
This conversation about caitlin Clark make you appreciate OG players in the NBA like lebron , Steph, KD . They always support young talent coming from college to the NBA , because ultimately they know it will grow the game. Yes they maintain their competitiveness, let the young blood know that you have to prove yourself, but always you got the sense that there is respect. As much as it hurt me to say it ,at the risk of being called sexist, I think it’s not a race issue with Clark ,it’s more of a woman issue, they are jealous of her plain and simple. Ultimately the WNBA is their own worst enemy.
Black women really just showing their hand at this point they can't even mask the jealousy anymore it's crazy how they went from being gems to just some of the nastiest attitude , self entitled , hypocritical people
I am 71 year old male white former college & professional athlete. I recognize athletes and skills. Don’t care about color. Male or female. Don’t think I am the only one.
This lady is just plain wrong. The media is picking up on what people want to see. People are tuning in to watch this player play. Just like they tune in to watch Jordan play just like they tune in to watch Steph play just like they tune in to watch any phenomenal player play. It’s the people watching that makes the media pay attention and then the media gets all over it. What this lady doesn’t get is that something about Caitlin has struck a chord. It would be cooler if she tried to figure out what that was, instead of focusing on the color of this this girl’s skin- that same old tired trope.
Lets be honest does CC being white have something to do with it yes, but no one paid attention to her until they beat SC last year and the even more attention came when Angel taunted her with her own taunt, but there are a lot of other white girls balling and didn't get the attention. its mostly her skill and style of play and her dropping 35+ in most games
It’s not racial. It’s business. Caitlin Clark draws more crowds in arenas and broadcasts. More fans means more coverages. At this point, the new breed of women ballers (Clark’s, Reese’s, Cardoso’s, Brink’s) have more fans than the WNBA. The WNBA needs to embrace this new wave of popularity, just like what the NBA did in the 80s with Magic v Bird. NBA was bankrupted before these legends came. Stop hating.
Caitlin Clark is not getting hyped she is balling and people like her game and the way she plays. If the media hypes someone to me and I go watch them, if I'm not impressed I don't go back, you dig? Caitlin is bringing fans back. The PEOPLE vote on who's the GOAT with their ticket purchases and other spending like buying Jordans shoes. Other players are expressing their jealousies and biases. Ask the fans, not the other players! If you are great the PEOPLE will recognize it. Who's the GOAT in any sport? Ask yourself how the PEOPLE are responding to them? There is no need to debate. I have not seen any basketball players create the excitement, that Jordan and Caitlin have created.
I don't care about if they calling it hype or not i wanted to see if she can win a ring because we all know she is talented you cant be the G.O.A.T without rings
@@standan1 Rings don't make a player the Goat. If that's the case tell me who is the GOAT right of women's basketball? you can't name one. Particularly, in college. Teams win championships not great players. Jordan didn't win rings until he got the right supporting cast. And Bron been to 100 finals without winning. Rings can be a factor if you comparing two players but to say because someone didn't win the one-and-done March Madness doesn't make sense. You need some luck in that tournament . Horry has 7rings and Russell has 11. And a college player only plays 4 years so you can't put that on them. S. Carolina has 10 starters! You can't say Caitlin has to beat them or anyone else can beat 10 starters. And it's not hyping her...the hype follows the attention you get from the fans. The fans like to see Caitlin play. Period! She got me into women's basketball after I saw her play. I got hooked. I say you can't be the G.O.A.T. unless they filled up the stands to see you play.
@@KennethBell-ir6tlC.C has no ring 💍 0-2 in the WNBA she has no defense and too many turnovers. She misses more 3's than she makes. 0-3 🗑️👎❌ overrated
@@KennethBell-ir6tlthat Jordan take is lazy. If I compare the NBA to the WNBA then its 2 different leagues. Caitlin Clark is comparable to Jimmer Freddette. If we gonna compare do the full comparison.
Caitlin Clark off the dribble step back 3 ball...its pretty to watch. Angel Reese around the basket game is nifty and exciting. This brings fans ro the game
Caitlin is an exciting player.. she is just 1of1. No player is as exciting. What about lebron? He is insanely popular. Its because hes great, caitlin is great.
I think it’s ok and normal for Clark to get some of her hype because of race. We’re constantly being inundated with a message of representation: “There needs to be more people that look like me” in this or that industry or whatever. Why can’t some ordinary looking 10 year old white girl from middle America have an exciting basketball role model that she identifies with being that we are already so obsessed with race?
It don't have nothing to do with race, but it has everything to do with people trying to make something outta nothing to get attention, clicks, views, money, or whatever their angle is
That's so correct, I never thought Jordan was ever enough just for his basketball. If he hasn't always done, uh, um, er, something else he never would have been so famous.
@@601JohnnyRingo Who Plum? Now if you would have said Brown I’d agree! But Plum is the better player, and she plays defense. Clark is just a high volume shooter, that can pass the ball. Plum is built different, I agree that she gets too much coverage. But the era we live in the flood it. And they flood it just so they can bring the athlete down later.
@@601JohnnyRingo How many other players took bad teams is her point? Look what JuJu did this year. Clark isn’t the only one taking gas station attendance to the dance lol.
I absolutely hate Jenelle Hill sometimes, this is a great moment for women’s basketball at all levels and to make it a race thing as she always does is just ugly of her….Clark along with Reese and Brink are headed to the league to bring more eyes and probably dramatically change the revenue that comes into the league…current players should actually thank these kids and not be jealous
This young lady has a decent perspective. I just hope the WNBA doesn't ruin this opportunity. People don't Tune in to hear or see all of this negativity. Nobody is doing what Clark is doing... She is special.
108 wins 3 loses in 3 years is insane 3 finale 4s and 3🏆 when we talking goat dawn and lady gamecocks need to be brought up. Yall going to cover the game or just keep glazing😂
They are a super team. They are doing what they are supposed to be doing, it isn't exceptional when you have an overwhelming talent advantage. If someone like Raven Johnson went to Colorado St and took them to 2 natty games and broke every scoring record she would be GOATED period. She plays for a loaded Spurh Carolina team it simply doesn't mean as much.
Everyone knows Black women are good at Basketball, so to see a white girl or actually any other RACE play outstanding ball like Blacks do does stick out! However, what’s happening is the media and bball fans in general are now seeing how great the other players in the WNBA really are. So, Clark might have started it but the women of the WNBA will keep the momentum going as a club! I know I’ll be watching!
The WNBA should be careful not to highlight one player regardless of race. If they are really trying to grow the league, alienating some fans and other players is not wise. They are not in the position to emulate the NBA with this Super Star marketing strategy.
So WHY is it that I know who Michael Jordan is? I thought he was Black. The only white Basketball player I can name off the top of my head is Larry Bird ( I'm not a big basketball fan)
Caitlan is a new thing and deserves the hype. Saying Black athletes don't get the attention is delusional. LeBron isn't a super Talent, He's Hollywood hype. The NBA is dying, not because of talent. The sports leagues have taken it upon themselves to promote certain players for their own narrative. They dissed the fans by not letting them pick who they thought were the players of note. Caitlan was a people's choice, her fan base grew from grade school through High school and College. She rewarded her fans with superior play, breaking the mold of previous players with humility and grace. When I first saw her play on a highlight reel, my 1st thought was cherrypicked video, but then to watch her in a college game shooting multiple, consecutive deep 3's is impressive, and her court IQ and passing are good. Her Breaking of Pete Maravich's scoring record, multiple awards, and championships back up the eye test. The idea that focusing attention on the #1 draft pick is racial in some way, shows just how destructive envy can be and when coupled with a destructive narrative can take what could be a boon to the careers of all in the sport, and transform it into a toxic stew. Millions of fans now are looking at the WNBA, CC brought them there. I know because I'm one of them. I'm already starting to tune out because the sports media and players are trying to force feed me their agenda, instead of letting me choose and letting the organic process occur. If allowed to grow organically, fans will form bonds with teams and players they enjoy, if force fed they will rebel and turn away. Look at the NBA, a shadow of its former self. The Iowa playoff game drew more viewers than the NBA playoffs, Why? Caitlan Clark.
😂😅 no difference is Caitlin has the majority of Caucasians, which is more in America. LeBron has majority of other races outside of Caucasians as fans. He has some Caucasian fans and Caitlin has some fans other than Caucasians but the main fanbases are the previous I stated.
@@geronimopratt7976market analysts and advertisers select who they market. They market who can capture the most attention. "Bigs" are typically not marketable, Shaq being the exception proving the rule. CC is bringing Steph Curry's game to the W, Aja is bringing Tim Duncan's game....who captures more attention?
All the most popular and highest paid athletes the past few decades have been black. The WNBA has simply been an unappealing product until Clark saved the league
The flaw is to imply there is a flaw to begin with .. People catch heat and notoriety for a multitude of reason both on and off the court when the timing syncs up.. There is no nefarious plan elevate the white player over the black .. People take notice for whatever reasons and then the league and other entities do all they can to capitalize
Caitlin had to play a predominately black South Carolina team and LSU with her predominately white team. When Kelsey played the stage wasn't set this way.
Sis, please stop it. The most revered players in sports are black. Plum is white and CC white so that defeats the race argument. CC has skills. I only started paying attention when I heard about her shooting against Steph, and she held her own. Then, I saw her skill set. I like her game. She is a star. That's the difference. Some people just have it and she does. The WNBA need to ride this wave and get out of the red and make as much money as they can.
In the NBA its a euro player push, in the WNBA its a Caitlin Clark push, in the MLB its a Mike Trout push, in the NFL its a Trevor Lawrence push......where is the comment wrong? Please don't tell me about the past because if it was great we would've stuck with the past.
@geronimopratt7976 it's wrong because it's not because they are white. They can actually play. If it was based on skin color. Then they could've picked any white girl in the WNBA and made her a star to garner the attention CC has gotten. But they couldn't because the white girls before CC can play. But they are not stars. They didn't come into the league with record-setting games watched, most points, marketing dollars, and publicity she has. It's not her fault she is white, and yes, that leads to a bigger demographic. But I'm a black man who only watches the WNBA because CC. Trevor Lawrence is not running the NFL. Pat Mahomes is. The euro leagues have a different way they train and play. They practice 5 days and play one game a week. AAU in the US. Practice 1 day and play 5 games. Their skill set have been elevated, and they are playing professional ball at a younger age. It has nothing to do with skin color because if they were sorry. We wouldn't even be having this conversation. I can't name on baller with star power that came out of college this year. So they are going overseas because they widens the market as well.
Lexie’s argument doesn’t hold water. She said it was the same for the men and women. Is she kidding? LeBron, Kobe, Magic, Steph etc The black players get a lot more endorsements and coverage than white players in the NBA. And deservedly so. It’s based on skill and accomplishments. She disproved her own point by bringing up Kelsey Plum but didn’t realize it. Kelsey set the all time college record while scoring 54 points and then went to the WNBA and nothing happened like what Caitlin has brought to the league. Kelsey is straight, white, attractive and a record scorer. But her style of play is like comparing any typical NBA player to Steph Curry. No one gets excited watching Plum. But we go crazy watching Clark or Curry. It’s Caitlin’s game not her race or looks.
The NBA is trying hard to push Luka. They tried to push Jokic but he doesn't want to be marketed. The NBA is an American brand so what American Caucasian has the skill to be marketable? Comparing the NBA to the WNBA just doesn't work.
@@geronimopratt7976 Pretty sure Caitlin was hired based on her merit and not skin color. Understanding she broke the scoring record for men's and women's CBB.
its funny how its not just black people saying this but its also white people saying this too but some people will bypass that and go straight for black people
Are there no Caucasian women in the WNBA? How about college? If it was a race thing why are none of the other Caucasian women getting this level of coverage
Larry Bird's Indiana State team lost to a more talented and touted Michigan State team by 12 points Clark and Iowa lost by 12 Bird was claimed to be overrated by some but not appreciated by others due to his skin colour like Clark is now Both Bird and Clark had good games but not the stellar perfomances needed to have an upset win
Caitlin is highlight passing and Steph Curry type 3’s while elevating a traditionally non-powerhouse program. Kelsey was white and didn’t get the same hype so def not a black/ white issue. Caitlin’s skillset just translates better to TV and from a marketing perspective
She's selling tickets, all her game in IOWA are sold out. She's doing that since late 2022. Her game is different from all of them, thats why she got the media attention. She even got me to start watching W, and i'm from across the globe. All these people know are whine and use race card that it lost it's real meaning.
I’m 43 and have played sports and been a fan my whole life. I’m sorry, but the media and pop culture at large love black American culture / Hip Hop culture and its figures….even the most ridiculous ones. You can’t go to a public event, even a rodeo, without hearing rap music. Have you seen many white guys on ESPN in recent years? I could go on. The ironic thing is that this all has come full circle and now the ordinary girl from flyover country is the one catching shade from the Fuzzy Zoeller gatekeepers of today. Interesting.
The women Black Basketball players don't get the same attention from the media because they're not near as talented as Catlin Clark. But i don't understand why race has to be brought into sport its all about the performance and talent not skin colour,!!!😮😮😮 Hating on Catlin Clark It just exposes their insane jealousy and blatant 😮racism tbh
Here’s the thing with this topic.. Caitlyn’s game is so good that she’d be talked about despite her race. So it’s not about race. But it is true that she may get a little more love because she is white dominating a predominantly black sport. Tiger woods, the William sisters and pk subban all got the same type of love when they dominated in predominantly white sports as well. And the dude pk wasn’t even dominant he was just good for a bit. This mindset got to stop. Her being white creates more of a narrative which sells better yes but when it comes to sports, blacks do not need to do more for the same love… let’s not play victim
My thing is Diana Taurasi tho…she was the best player on the best team in college every year she was in college and she got nothing. It’s not racial at all…it’s about what agenda they want to push.
I think it's because Caitlin clark is doing it how the men do it, I think it's more sexist than racial, her game is lined up with what's hot in the NBA right now
How and don't just say because she shoots deep 3s....if you go 2-14 from 3 where's the excitement? We drag James Harden for taking so many 3s and missing them. This is why I don't compare men to women.
I feel it’s because of her skill set. And she’s shooting the basketball from the parking lot. A’Ja is legit, but no one else is doing this. Angel Reese make buckets but she looks like she’s just throwing the ball up. Let’s stop this nonsense.
I'm really tired of everything being about race because it's used so much that it has lost its value. No one cares about ANY of the players in the WNBA except Caitlin and maybe Angel Reese. There have been plenty of great white players in the WNBA that no one cares about at all. Caitlin is setting records, and the public is generally interested. They can hype her, but that doesn't guarantee eyeballs. People generally like her game. As a company, why would I make a deal with a player nobody knows or even cares about? I know that there are a few deals with white women in the WNBA and not their black counterparts. Ask why? This is more relevant but also be prepared for the answer because it may have made sense for a company to have chosen that person and not their race. Sometimes, it happens.

@@ericholmes7845 LOL, stop watching basketball because you don't know s@@t.
He'd be viewed as a legend, not an all-time top 5 player. It's not a coincidence he has the least amount of rings in the general top 5. They protect their heritage. Look how they reduce Kobe. When it's their own they amplify them. The great hope thing is real. LA has better role players than AR, but he gets celebrated & placed on murals. Bird has a folk tale about a "left handed game".

It is racial because of the Angel Reese hate and death threats. People feel the need to defend Caitlin from the big bad bully Reese. She is getting the attention because of the incident and she is a white girl playing for an mostly white Iowa team.
Always looking for an out (excuse) eh?
Kelsey Spanish she black do some research they dont consider Spanish white its some yess but ita African roots 😂😂😂 she still not white thats why

Wrong and she is wrong. Why? Cuz Caitlin broke multiple records, Plumm broke 2! Any other questions? I have never been around so many Black sisters and men that have been so jealous and racists in my life! We all should be ashamed of ourselves. It's sad reality because it's so obvious

Caitlin literally drained Steph Curry distance threes consistently. She also led a very average Iowa program to the championship game twice and she sold out at virtually every game she played in. So yeah, she deserves all the glory and accolades. The hate and jealousy of females are something else.

I think Clark gets coverage cus she good. Reese got good coverage too. Juju didnt get enough. Other players breaking records too. Juju did for sure as freshman. But they def dont hype up other sensations like Jada Williams, Hannah Hidalgo. Georgia amoore is white and she didnt get too much coverage. Ppl in love with 3 ball so Clark was biggest

It’s not race, it’s her play style is something new and refreshing, way more exciting than the usual. The women are talented but sometimes it doesn’t look as good.
I think we should embrace the fact that it’s both and that is totally fine. She is a superstar, but she also looks like a lot of ordinary kids that often don’t find superstars that look like them. Why is this a virtue for everyone else but a vice when a plain looking little white girl finds a generational star to look up to? Everyone should be happy about it, especially being that we have a star with no tattoos, who is str8, who doesn’t look like a drg queen, and who listens to her father.
It’s a sign of the times that people totally miss this or notice it and are triggered by it.

a girl dropping back to back to back 40points in a tournament game is not sensationalized i am sorry. Why do these gils arenas people hate to give Clark her props. The girl shots from half court like its a free throw. Funny enough when Trae Young was doing similar being tagged as Steph Curry 2.0 not a single nba player past or present had a problem. But with Clark, there is always something to complain about or some backhand compliment. Why?
I just couldn't disagree any more with this sentiment...that black athletes need to do something other than simply dominate to get attention. That take is inarguably, objectively inaccurate. If you switch the skin colors, at least there are situational examples of it, but even then, it's not all that prevalent. I think we're conflating the fact that covering athletes has become covering them as people, as well as players, because fans are of course interested in what high level athletes do when they're not doing their thing. What Jemele, & so many others, are doing by saying these types of things about CC is they're dramatically underselling her sheer greatness. The irony is, if she were black, they'd be falling all over themselves to talk about how she's an all-timer who has single-handedly changed the game & elevated it to all new heights, bringing all girls & women up with her. They'd spend so much time examining how much more money all female athletes will make as a result of her play, instead of shrugging & basically saying "I mean, she's OK, but come on...y'all only excited 'cause she's white." It's just disingenuous racially motivated ill-will.

She has the most points ever. Including men and women. If you are breaking Pistol Pete's record there is something wrong if you are not getting the attention Caitlin is getting.
That right there is a perfect example! Media hype! 2different leagues. Men and Women. CC didn't play against Men so how could she break a Men's NCAA record? Answer: she can't. She broke the womans record, (well she really didn't, but that's another Oprah) but it sounds much better to say she broke P. Pete's record because that's a better story!
@terryleonard2
You didn’t even make the good argument for what you were trying to say. You made the silly one instead. The good argument is that Pistol Pete didn’t have a three-point shot when he played (and still scored 100 in a game). Keep in mind though, she has one more year of eligibility.
Regardless, for Clark to be neck and neck with him is truly incredible.
I’m a Louisiana native and former LSU student. We don’t throw his name around lightly, but Clark is just as great if not greater.
Cameron Brink is white and gets no attention similar to Caitlin. Caitlin is simply different. "Race card" is not applicable here.
The same way Caitlin Clark fans use the race card because Clark is double teamed on defense
I find it funny that basketball fans who are too young to remember the 90's glamorous the era but yet trash current womens basketball. Its 90's basketball without the dunking! Its tall woman, center oriented basketball! Thats why Clark gets all the hype because shes not playing 90's ball, shes playing 2010-2020 ball. People love the 3 more than they admit.
I have never watched the WNBA but I will watch Clark.
I've signed up for the league's app subscription 😭😂
But yall watch all the platforms that Caitlin has never been on just to hope to hear her name😂😅
Lexi, averaging 8 per game. Why is she even on the show. Stevie Wonder could average 8 in the W.
Nobody has the game that CC has sorry to say it but it's flashy like Jordan, Magic, Bird and so on and that pulls people in the rest of the W has great players no doubt but they don't have the flash that CC has it isn't a dig on other players it's just a fact. She is also bringing in a fresh crop of fans that will recognize the other players for how good they are but they want to see what CC brings to the game it's just facts. Constantly bringing this back to black and white is what will keep this country divided for all time she is lifting ALL players no matter what skin color they have and getting them recognized!!!! She is a generational talent and everyone wants to see that and I will tell you this as a white man JuJu if she keeps going the way she is will be someone I watch too because of how she plays, she is flashy and fast can drive and bomb three's just like CC and that is what I want to see! People need to stop listening to the race trolls on BOTH sides and just admire the players game regardless of color.
There have been white girls playing basketball for years and they didn't get all the attention, Caitlin is different, she broke the scoring record, she has added something completely different to the game and the fact is that women's basketball has been boring prior to her. Sorry Lexie, not buying it.
Caitlin Clark got more attention than Plum because she was more exciting. Just like Kobe got more attention than Tim Duncan because he was more exciting to watch. We have a history of not just black players but dark skin players getting more attention than white players. What are we talking about here.
Plum and Clark same position, Duncan and Kobe far from the same position. Marketing guards has always been better. Who gets the signature shoes, guards.
This conversation about caitlin Clark make you appreciate OG players in the NBA like lebron , Steph, KD . They always support young talent coming from college to the NBA , because ultimately they know it will grow the game. Yes they maintain their competitiveness, let the young blood know that you have to prove yourself, but always you got the sense that there is respect. As much as it hurt me to say it ,at the risk of being called sexist, I think it’s not a race issue with Clark ,it’s more of a woman issue, they are jealous of her plain and simple. Ultimately the WNBA is their own worst enemy.
To say black nba players don’t get coverage like white players is crazy
She said WNBA, that's the problem. We need to stop comparing the NBA to the WNBA and the male athletes to the female athletes.
Black women really just showing their hand at this point they can't even mask the jealousy anymore it's crazy how they went from being gems to just some of the nastiest attitude , self entitled , hypocritical people
They do not like the pale white girl getting this attention. Even though it is well deserved. Jemele Hill is the real racist.
For real, to act like black athletes aren’t getting covered is ridiculous
They’re not even trying to hide their jealousy and sound stupid trying to explain themselves

I am 71 year old male white former college & professional athlete. I recognize athletes and skills. Don’t care about color. Male or female. Don’t think I am the only one.

This lady is just plain wrong. The media is picking up on what people want to see. People are tuning in to watch this player play. Just like they tune in to watch Jordan play just like they tune in to watch Steph play just like they tune in to watch any phenomenal player play. It’s the people watching that makes the media pay attention and then the media gets all over it. What this lady doesn’t get is that something about Caitlin has struck a chord.

It’s not racial. It’s business. Caitlin Clark draws more crowds in arenas and broadcasts. More fans means more coverages. At this point, the new breed of women ballers (Clark’s, Reese’s, Cardoso’s, Brink’s) have more fans than the WNBA. The WNBA needs to embrace this new wave of popularity, just like what the NBA did in the 80s with Magic v Bird. NBA was bankrupted before these legends came. Stop hating.
Here we go wit the victim Olympics smh. So Candace Parker & Britney Griner didn’t get the media attention they deserved in college?
YALL missing the point here
Caitlin Clark is not getting hyped she is balling and people like her game and the way she plays. If the media hypes someone to me and I go watch them, if I'm not impressed I don't go back, you dig? Caitlin is bringing fans back. The PEOPLE vote on who's the GOAT with their ticket purchases and other spending like buying Jordans shoes. Other players are expressing their jealousies and biases. Ask the fans, not the other players! If you are great the PEOPLE will recognize it. Who's the GOAT in any sport? Ask yourself how the PEOPLE are responding to them? There is no need to debate. I have not seen any basketball players create the excitement, that Jordan and Caitlin have created.
I don't care about if they calling it hype or not i wanted to see if she can win a ring because we all know she is talented you cant be the G.O.A.T without rings
@@standan1 Rings don't make a player the Goat. If that's the case tell me who is the GOAT right of women's basketball? you can't name one. Particularly, in college. Teams win championships not great players. Jordan didn't win rings until he got the right supporting cast. And Bron been to 100 finals without winning. Rings can be a factor if you comparing two players but to say because someone didn't win the one-and-done March Madness doesn't make sense. You need some luck in that tournament . Horry has 7rings and Russell has 11. And a college player only plays 4 years so you can't put that on them. S. Carolina has 10 starters! You can't say Caitlin has to beat them or anyone else can beat 10 starters. And it's not hyping her...the hype follows the attention you get from the fans. The fans like to see Caitlin play. Period! She got me into women's basketball after I saw her play. I got hooked. I say you can't be the G.O.A.T. unless they filled up the stands to see you play.

records are being broken and CC is doing it at Iowa with role players , not a stacked roster
Talk about childish and stupid, come on. Caitlin Clark caused me to watch games, better than NBA
I think it’s ok and normal for Clark to get some of her hype because of race. We’re constantly being inundated with a message of representation: “There needs to be more people that look like me” in this or that industry or whatever. Why can’t some ordinary looking 10 year old white girl from middle America have an exciting basketball role model that she identifies with being that we are already so obsessed with race?
It don't have nothing to do with race, but it has everything to do with people trying to make something outta nothing to get attention, clicks, views, money, or whatever their angle is

We like the deep 3 ball….for example Steph …it’s as simple as that …
Jimmer Freddette
That's so correct, I never thought Jordan was ever enough just for his basketball. If he hasn't always done, uh, um, er, something else he never would have been so famous.

Y’all need to get off the race bs.
I absolutely hate Jenelle Hill sometimes, this is a great moment for women’s basketball at all levels and to make it a race thing as she always does is just ugly of her….Clark along with Reese and Brink are headed to the league to bring more eyes and probably dramatically change the revenue that comes into the league…current players should actually thank these kids and not be jealous
This young lady has a decent perspective. I just hope the WNBA doesn't ruin this opportunity. People don't Tune in to hear or see all of this negativity. Nobody is doing what Clark is doing... She is special.
108 wins 3 loses in 3 years is insane 3 finale 4s and 3🏆 when we talking goat dawn and lady gamecocks need to be brought up. Yall going to cover the game or just keep glazing😂
Facts 💯
They are a super team. They are doing what they are supposed to be doing, it isn't exceptional when you have an overwhelming talent advantage. If someone like Raven Johnson went to Colorado St and took them to 2 natty games and broke every scoring record she would be GOATED period. She plays for a loaded Spurh Carolina team it simply doesn't mean as much.
Winning doesn’t always translate to popularity. Look at the media coverage Colorado got vs Georgia who were back to go back champions
Difference :
Black girls have "AN ATTITUDE"
Also CC, is clean cut, straight, etc !!
Lebron, Kobe, Micheal J , Kevin Durant, Greek freak, Zion W. Etc etc. all have huge shoe deals because they are awesome to watch play the game.
Everyone knows Black women are good at Basketball, so to see a white girl or actually any other RACE play outstanding ball like Blacks do does stick out! However, what’s happening is the media and bball fans in general are now seeing how great the other players in the WNBA really are. So, Clark might have started it but the women of the WNBA will keep the momentum going as a club! I know I’ll be watching!
What does this racist do to set her apart?
The WNBA should be careful not to highlight one player regardless of race. If they are really trying to grow the league, alienating some fans and other players is not wise. They are not in the position to emulate the NBA with this Super Star marketing strategy.
Caitlin gets this coverage for two reasons: 1 she is very good 2 because she has the favor and attention of white America. Kelsey didn't have that.
So WHY is it that I know who Michael Jordan is?
I thought he was Black.
The only white Basketball player I can name off the top of my head is Larry Bird ( I'm not a big basketball fan)

Caitlan is a new thing and deserves the hype. Saying Black athletes don't get the attention is delusional. LeBron isn't a super Talent, He's Hollywood hype. The NBA is dying, not because of talent. The sports leagues have taken it upon themselves to promote certain players for their own narrative. They dissed the fans by not letting them pick who they thought were the players of note. Caitlan was a people's choice, her fan base grew from grade school through High school and College. She rewarded her fans with superior play, breaking the mold of previous players with humility and grace. When I first saw her play on a highlight reel, my 1st thought was cherrypicked video, but then to watch her in a college game shooting multiple, consecutive deep 3's is impressive, and her court IQ and passing are good. Her Breaking of Pete Maravich's scoring record, multiple awards, and championships back up the eye test. The idea that focusing attention on the #1 draft pick is racial in some way, shows just how destructive envy can be and when coupled with a destructive narrative can take what could be a boon to the careers of all in the sport, and transform it into a toxic stew. Millions of fans now are looking at the WNBA, CC brought them there. I know because I'm one of them. I'm already starting to tune out because the sports media and players are trying to force feed me their agenda, instead of letting me choose and letting the organic process occur. If allowed to grow organically, fans will form bonds with teams and players they enjoy, if force fed they will rebel and turn away. Look at the NBA, a shadow of its former self. The Iowa playoff game drew more viewers than the NBA playoffs, Why? Caitlan Clark.
😂😅 no difference is Caitlin has the majority of Caucasians, which is more in America. LeBron has majority of other races outside of Caucasians as fans. He has some Caucasian fans and Caitlin has some fans other than Caucasians but the main fanbases are the previous I stated.

She just said she broke the record of another white player and that player didn't get the hype. That's evidence that it's not about race.
Caitlin had to play a predominately black South Carolina team and LSU with her predominately white team. When Kelsey played the stage wasn't set this way.
Kelsey plum was not on Caitlins level. Caitlin is significantly more fun to watch
Sis, please stop it. The most revered players in sports are black. Plum is white and CC white so that defeats the race argument. CC has skills. I only started paying attention when I heard about her shooting against Steph, and she held her own. Then, I saw her skill set. I like her game. She is a star. That's the difference. Some people just have it and she does. The WNBA need to ride this wave and get out of the red and make as much money as they can.
In the NBA its a euro player push, in the WNBA its a Caitlin Clark push, in the MLB its a Mike Trout push, in the NFL its a Trevor Lawrence push......where is the comment wrong? Please don't tell me about the past because if it was great we would've stuck with the past.
@geronimopratt7976 it's wrong because it's not because they are white. They can actually play. If it was based on skin color. Then they could've picked any white girl in the WNBA and made her a star to garner the attention CC has gotten. But they couldn't because the white girls before CC can play.
But they are not stars. They didn't come into the league with record-setting games watched, most points, marketing dollars, and publicity she has. It's not her fault she is white, and yes, that leads to a bigger demographic. But I'm a black man who only watches the WNBA because CC.
Trevor Lawrence is not running the NFL. Pat Mahomes is. The euro leagues have a different way they train and play. They practice 5 days and play one game a week. AAU in the US. Practice 1 day and play 5 games. Their skill set have been elevated, and they are playing professional ball at a younger age. It has nothing to do with skin color because if they were sorry. We wouldn't even be having this conversation. I can't name on baller with star power that came out of college this year. So they are going overseas because they widens the market as well.
Lexie’s argument doesn’t hold water. She said it was the same for the men and women. Is she kidding? LeBron, Kobe, Magic, Steph etc The black players get a lot more endorsements and coverage than white players in the NBA. And deservedly so. It’s based on skill and accomplishments. She disproved her own point by bringing up Kelsey Plum but didn’t realize it. Kelsey set the all time college record while scoring 54 points and then went to the WNBA and nothing happened like what Caitlin has brought to the league. Kelsey is straight, white, attractive and a record scorer. But her style of play is like comparing any typical NBA player to Steph Curry. No one gets excited watching Plum. But we go crazy watching Clark or Curry. It’s Caitlin’s game not her race or looks.
The NBA is trying hard to push Luka. They tried to push Jokic but he doesn't want to be marketed. The NBA is an American brand so what American Caucasian has the skill to be marketable? Comparing the NBA to the WNBA just doesn't work.
"A little more?" She's the all-time record breaker in college that plays like Steph Curry. It's that simple.

Bird was claimed to be overrated by some but not appreciated by others due to his skin colour like Clark is now
Both Bird and Clark had good games but not the stellar perfomances needed to have an upset win
She also presents herself as someone everyone want to be around wich is rare these days
It’s because she different in how successful she is.
Caitlin is highlight passing and Steph Curry type 3’s while elevating a traditionally non-powerhouse program. Kelsey was white and didn’t get the same hype so def not a black/ white issue. Caitlin’s skillset just translates better to TV and from a marketing perspective
She's selling tickets, all her game in IOWA are sold out. She's doing that since late 2022. Her game is different from all of them, thats why she got the media attention. She even got me to start watching W, and i'm from across the globe. All these people know are whine and use race card that it lost it's real meaning.
The Originals(Blacks) are so athletic and good at all sports, that I believe all other races are tired of seeing them dominate in every sport.
Facts
The originals (whites) are so smart and innovative, that I believe all other races are tired of seeing them dominate in every facet of life. Clown.
LOL
I’m 43 and have played sports and been a fan my whole life. I’m sorry, but the media and pop culture at large love black American culture / Hip Hop culture and its figures….even the most ridiculous ones. You can’t go to a public event, even a rodeo, without hearing rap music. Have you seen many white guys on ESPN in recent years? I could go on.
The ironic thing is that this all has come full circle and now the ordinary girl from flyover country is the one catching shade from the Fuzzy Zoeller gatekeepers of today. Interesting.
Do WNBA players want media coverage or not ? Lol
The women Black Basketball players don't get the same attention from the media because they're not near as talented as Catlin Clark.
But i don't understand why race has to be brought into sport its all about the performance and talent not skin colour,!!!😮😮😮
Hating on Catlin Clark It just exposes their insane jealousy and blatant 😮racism tbh
Here’s the thing with this topic.. Caitlyn’s game is so good that she’d be talked about despite her race. So it’s not about race. But it is true that she may get a little more love because she is white dominating a predominantly black sport. Tiger woods, the William sisters and pk subban all got the same type of love when they dominated in predominantly white sports as well. And the dude pk wasn’t even dominant he was just good for a bit. This mindset got to stop. Her being white creates more of a narrative which sells better yes but when it comes to sports, blacks do not need to do more for the same love… let’s not play victim
My thing is Diana Taurasi tho…she was the best player on the best team in college every year she was in college and she got nothing. It’s not racial at all…it’s about what agenda they want to push.
Race is an agenda
The fans want what the fans want.. Lets not get it twisted
Sparks lost 2 Caitlyn 😂
I think it's because Caitlin clark is doing it how the men do it, I think it's more sexist than racial, her game is lined up with what's hot in the NBA right now
How and don't just say because she shoots deep 3s....if you go 2-14 from 3 where's the excitement? We drag James Harden for taking so many 3s and missing them. This is why I don't compare men to women.
I feel it’s because of her skill set. And she’s shooting the basketball from the parking lot. A’Ja is legit, but no one else is doing this. Angel Reese make buckets but she looks like she’s just throwing the ball up. Let’s stop this nonsense.
What is wrong with these WNBA players??? It's not football so you can't blame it on concussions...
lol this why people don’t like this yall finally have a girl who owns basketball best record and people are not satisfied smh
Shes full of it on the coverage for black athletes
I'm really tired of everything being about race because it's used so much that it has lost its value. No one cares about ANY of the players in the WNBA except Caitlin and maybe Angel Reese. There have been plenty of great white players in the WNBA that no one cares about at all. Caitlin is setting records, and the public is generally interested. They can hype her, but that doesn't guarantee eyeballs. People generally like her game. As a company, why would I make a deal with a player nobody knows or even cares about? I know that there are a few deals with white women in the WNBA and not their black counterparts. Ask why? This is more relevant but also be prepared for the answer because it may have made sense for a company to have chosen that person and not their race. Sometimes, it happens.
She's wrong
If you believe what she says, you have to show me a black player that is just as exciting a Caitlin
