      Darn good point. Caitlin gets attacked: crickets. Fever fans (CC fans) are accused of being racist and the league puts out an immediate press release that this rampant racism must be stopped. Why not try and figure out WHY not go to the root of the problem and ADMIT why Fever fans ARE angry. Fix the root cause.

      The statements put out by the Sun players and then followed up by the WNBA just set in stone their hypocrisy by allowing all of the same things they accused Indiana fans of, to be leveled not only by Sun fans [inside the arena no less!] and other teams' fans, but by the opposing teams' players, coaching staffs, front offices, officials/refs, and even WNBA leadership, at the Indiana Fever team and Caitlin Clark.
      Sun players and other opposing teams' players, officials/refs, and even WNBA leadership, took it even further by creating an environment on the court that allowed/condoned/encouraged Caitlin Clark to be assaulted under the guise of a "physical" league/environment unlike which no other player has been subjected to. When data was provided as evidence in the form of the number of flagrant fouls levied against Clark in comparison to all other league players, the word simply was put out to no longer call on court assaults of Clark as any kind of foul whatsoever, so as to simply not provide additional statistical proof of the assaults aimed at Clark.
      Thru inaction, the WNBA simply sent out a strong message letting the rest of the league know that there would be no consequences whatsoever for either assaulting Clark, or attempting to assault Clark, on the court, under the illusion of competitive sport. Meanwhile, Indiana Fever fans who are witnessing said assaults, call the WNBA out for what they see and experience before their very eyes and their adoring children's eyes, and are then subjected to hate speech by the assaulters, and the WNBA itself, to complete the circle of hypocrisy they've created to "defend" themselves from within this supposed "tough" and "physical" league.

They are all so grateful for the exposure, the support and the energy the fans brought to them. They've stolen my heart! But yea, a lot has been exposed and this is why we never heard of the WNBA before...it's all about them.

Now I watch for her and for the Fever and I'm learning about other players too. Unfortunately, I'm also learning that some of them are thugs who would rather play in obscurity than have someone be popular if that person doesn't fit into their clique- and it definitely seems that the WNBA administration either agrees with those players or the players have so much power they fear them. Btw, I met Caitlin Clark, not at a game but in the store I work in. Just a normal clerk/ guest conversation, not about basketball. Totally down to Earth, polite and not a prima donna in any way.

No complaints from Caitlin - just gratefulness for the opportunity to play in this league and to play and grow with her teammates. The entire Fever team has been a class act and represented the WNBA as leaders with the media and on the court. Look forward to an absolute beast of a team next year as the new President looks to revamp and up their coaching staff and talent to build around their leader Clark and their other stars Boston and Mitchell.

    Adrienne I really appreciate your bravery calling out the hypocrisy of the WNBA management and league players who want the attention Caitlin brings but not a normal culture of fans. Their activist agenda doesn’t work for a wider fan base of people who don’t share their views. But guess what we ONLY want to watch excellence not identity politics. Ironically, the only adult in the room is Caitlin Clark who never disparages anyone! She only wants to be the best she can be. And we only want her to play in a fair environment. So far that hasn’t been the case. Time for some real soul searching in the WNBA if they want to grow. Their dysfunction is now on full display.

    “boy can she ball!”
    Unfortunately I’ll have to wait until April to watch her again( if she returns to this league) as I’ve witnessed the WNBA for what they represent and I am more that very disappointed in the League and how it is run from the top, down to the referees.

What I have been introduced to, and it makes me sick, is thuggery, biases, cheating, and the WNBA’s agenda that tries to link racism to following CC’s career. Stop it! You wanted the views. You wanted the fame. You wanted the money. You got it…. Yet you fail to respect the person that handed it to you on a platter. I will not be watching any other team but Fever, because most of them seem to be full of nasty players.

Give credit to the admin/coaching for running a totally "managed" product up to this point, but now the world beyond 50k red carpet fans is interested they have to change. CC's handlers will not endure another season of abuse like this, they will call for alternatives.

The players are being left to think and react their way through social media racism, anti-LGBT trolls that are intermingled with real fans. They need coaches that help them understand how to interpret and handle all media, public relations etc., and to realize what kind of asset and big picture value CC is to the league (and therefore themselves). Without the social media and PR intelligence, they are going to constantly set off negative bombs and implode. Maybe help these players understand what success looks like in a few years also. They need to get control of their feelings triggered by troll fans, and get on the same page… otherwise ignorance and stupidity will ultimately lead to failure. CC ain’t doing this, and they need to leave her alone! Next … get some real referees that will call the game fair and consistent. They should also have media and public relations, big picture oversight and training. Get the bush league level of physicality and intimidation out of the game, backed by suspensions. If the referees cannot officiate the leagues position on this, get rid of them.

    I'm a 47 year old from Norway and I love watching basketball and since CC arrived it opened my eyes to the WNBA for the first time. She brings excitement and passion to the game and her professionalism makes her a good role model for young girls everywhere to pick up a basketball and learning the game. Also watching Aliyah Boston develop her game and Kelsey Mitchell arriving to give the Fever a boost into the playoffs has been fun to watch. The Indiana Fever have every right to feel proud of themselves and their season.
    The WNBA has talent and a host of exciting players like A'ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu to name just a few but as a newcomer watching the league for the first time, it does little to endear itself when it can't even celebrate success, sportmanship and the love of basketball without resorting to labeling people as racist just for rooting for a specific team or player. What kind of values are that supposed to be? It's no wonder this league has failed to reach the same popularity and marketability as the NBA despite some claims that it has always been a good product even before the arrival of Caitlin Clark.

Keep honing the chemistry and teamwork and you will be unstoppable! I look forward to celebrating with you when you win the championship!

    The Fever team is filled with nothing but likable, charming, sweet and beautiful young women.
    Maybe my favorite team of all time to follow.

      CC keeps it fun to play. It shows in their smiling faces. Team unity. All business on the court but happy peeps on the bench. Wheeler is the perfect example. Winning is contagious and the Fever players have never felt this good before CC.

    It’s nice to hear a rational voice in this muck. Thank you for calling the crap out. I will not watch again until spring IF CC comes back.

    That was so awesome! To see the Fever thank the fans. Then you have Alyssa playing victim after they won the Game and now how is anyone supposed to respect the Sun and or the WNBA?? I bet you have gained some more viewers since Clark. I'm new to your channel Adrienne. Good Job.

    The Fever's video was a class act. To thank fans like that made me smile, plus all of the fever players were included, all of them, CLASS. You are right about the WNBA, hell at this point Caitlin should start a league of her own. Talented players who want to play ball, and grow the game. I would watch.
