It's ok you can say her name😂 Caitlin Clark got them what they have been asking for 20 plus years!
Why are they trying not to say Caitlyn?
By golly, I read this comment and sat through the 15 minutes. These two pulled it off!! That in some sense is an accomplishment.
One word: jealousy…
This actually is really upsetting.
Dissing Clark like that. Screw this channel!
You know why lol.
Because the media talk about the white girl too damn much 🤷🏾♀️
They might not have intended for this video to be racist but it is. To pretend that this was about optics and not about the additional revenue that a certain somebody (I wasn't sure if I was even allowed to say her name) generated already this year is delusional. Imagine two white people making a video about how the NBA finally gave the players the salaries that they deserved and called it optics when in reality it was because immense popularity of Michael Jordan (I know Bird/Magic started it, stay with me), and the two white people never say Jordan's name or give him credit. And then pretend that no blacks should be upset about this slight.
Give CC her respect for speaking out like a veteran.
They refuse to say her name. Unsubscribe to their channel.
@@1398go I never even subscribed. It only came up my feed because of her name
@@1398go Indeed.
She didn’t speak out tho lol
@@natfluential you just didn’t hear it or just in denial.
They don’t want to say Caitlin Clark has made the difference coming into the WNBA period !!!❤❤❤
Boycott their channel….DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR CHANNEL.
Angle Reese has about 2.5 million more followers than her
@@1398go😂😂
@@play030pls let them know about their delusions
Entire WNBA is thanking Caitlyn Clark
CC is a blessing let’s all admit
Jesus was a blessing...Clark has what we call "... privilege"
@@kountrynotary7445 Stop sounding like a single mom. Give Caitlin her rose doofy🤪🤪🤪
@greggcrawford124 just what I thought...another goofy troll. Get yourself a hobby...basketball is not a good fit for you.
@@kountrynotary7445 Her "privilege " has been earned. Stop with the hate!
@johnsteward132 The Veterans of the league aren't privileged...no one's privileged. Get a hobby because you don't understand team sports.
They are saying it’s about race but there has been lots of White players and they didn’t do anything.
It’s because of CC
Exactly
Had no idea WNBA players did not fly private. Glad to see that changing.
The bottom line is that more revenue is coming in because of Caitlin, Angel and this new draft class. They’re the reason there’s so much interest in the WNBA all of a sudden and why revenues are increasing. If it wasn’t for that, they wouldn’t get those chartered flights no matter how unfair people think that it is. This new draft class is dramatically increasing revenue for the league and they seem poised to turn a profit this year. I’m watching for the first time ever because I want to follow Caitlin, Angel, Nika Muhl, Jacy Sheldon and Cameron Brink. I’ve watched every game they’ve streamed so far on the WNBA app, and I had to catch a bootleg stream of Nika Muhl’s game last night from somebody on twitter. I’m a first time WNBA viewer. And I have to give credit to Angel Reese for grabbing my attention and the attention of so many other casual observers who didn’t even watch women’s basketball when she made national headlines last year and it was covered by non-sports news media. That’s when I learned about Angel and Caitlin, and following them I learned about a bunch of other players. Now I’m invested in the players themselves which is why I want to see them play in the W.
U do realize there is ZERO revenue right
This is simple math. Ticket prices are going up and ticket sales are going up. The cost of commercials will be going up. The CBA will re redone soon. Chartered flights is a win that is able to be done so it was done. CC and the rookie class are good for business. Everyone will make more and the WNBA will have more money to spend.
This is another huge missed opportunity by the WNBA they could have turned airport interface with the public into a positive and charter money into more marketing and public outreach
They are actually giving tickets away and thatz the NBA spending money
Is she avoiding naming Caitlin because of her fear of getting cancel by black people?
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Probably
Nah, there’s no need to. You already know her name
That part. I talk about Caitlin all the time there is absolutely no need
@@theklr Yep!! Don’t hyper the white chic, as she’ll may bring more of her kind to watch and spend money on WNBA.
Gotta love Caitlin Clark ... Sue Bird and the rest of the women could not get charter flights !!! ...
Mfers can’t even say Caitlin Clark.
I’m outta here.
Screw you guys for doing that to her, how dare you!
They hate so much on this new athlete, won’t even say her name and tip toe around the fact it’s cuz of her.
Can’t let any white people win, because black would lose!
There’s no need to. You’re here defending her name not being mentioned
Stop. That's not true. U r making it about that . We know C C is y.
She sure made sure not to say Caitlin Clark's name, like CC is Valdamort...lmfao
Lol. They DIDN'T CARE about these women getting harassed or being late UNTIL they got a player that will bring new fans, who smashed college records and who people want to buy tickets for. A simple "Thank you Caitlyn" would be sufficient.
I’m happy for ALL of the women past and present that are benefiting from CC’s hard work and success!!! It’s is my pray that the negative coverage from veteran players stops, because this tide can lift ALL BOATS!!!!!
I think k the new WBB fans that are here for CC and only CC gotta understand there’s been many people fighting for this and other items. I think those that are here for the CC can come in with some humility. I think what they are doing is broadening the discussion instead of making it all CC all the time. Every story doesn’t have to be centred around her.
Let’s get real here you don’t have to say her name, but everyone knows CC is the reason everything in the wnba is changing, no one cared before including me, now we do
Welcome you’re late. This has been a topic for the last five years in the league
@@theklroh well, and most of America hadnt watched a single Womens basketball highlight video prior to Clark, most will be “late”. It was boring here 😂
@@elijahteputepu2519 okay. Your loss
It gotta make dollars to make sense. The WNBA is probably hedging in hopes that these new players popularity will put more butts in those seats and in turn generate a substantial growth in revenue.
I think the league realized they’ve never had a rookie coming into the WNBA worth 40 million dollars without playing one game. Plus causing arenas to sell out and teams looking for bigger venues. They need to protect their investments.
This is the Truth
You want to diss Clark by not saying her name, FOLKS, DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR CHANNEL.
No, they are not dissing her. Listen and stop trying yo start mess.
Thank god!!! The wnba gotta make sure Caitlin is gonna be safe 😂😂
I only watch WNBA when CC is playing against any team. I won't watch any team without CC.
Everybody knows that chartered flights are the way WNBA players will now travel is because of Caitlin Clark's. Why can't you admit it?
The liberty against the sky was not a game worth broadcasting. I was so disappointed with the way the liberty played.
yes I’m new to WNBA.
That’s usually not standard. I’m concerned in the liberty, but that may be the wake up call needed
It actually was because ppl demanded it. Don’t discount what ppl demand. Bring the same energy to the men when they get blown out. Bet you don’t have that energy when the Celtics or nuggets get blown out. Wild take.
It’s not just Caitlyn Clark. But it’s mostly Caitlyn Clark. The world would flip if Angel Reese, Rickea Jackson, Camila Cardoso or Cameron Brink had to fly commercial
As a fan from India, its amazing to see the amount of intense discussions on social media about the WNBA and around Caitlin Clark. Its almost like the cricket discussions in India 🙂As far as the salary discussions in the past few weeks, its equally amazing that a player like Caitlin Clark is allowed to get paid only $76k. The highest paid Indian woman cricketer (her name is Smriti Mandhana) in the Indian women's cricket league gets more than $400k. Different leagues, different economics....
WNBA would get bashed if they continue to not give teams chartered flights, WNBA will get bashed if they give teams chartered flights because of Caitlin Clark.
Some folks have no idea how bad they look when they don’t celebrate victories…shut up already!!! My God!! This is not a good look!!
This has been a 5 season conversation, but glad you can make it
@@theklrthese newbies are a HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM…
@@michellesmith9522 Right? They have audacity to be loud and privileged. Hate to see it.
It looks perfectly fine. Some people don’t want actual things discussed. When the Civil Rights Act passed, it wasn’t smooth, b/c it as pasted does that mean you don’t discuss the challenges? Like be serious.
@@theklrhella annoying!
If it wasn't for the "unspoken player" no one would even be talking about the WNBA. The "unspoken player" moved the needle. I would never have watched a WNBA preseason game if not for the "unspoken player". Now I have signed up for the WNBA regular season on-line app. HHHHMMM, wonder why.
False
I'm old enough to remember NBA teams doing that in the 80's...also I've always felt the league makes more money than they've let on.
This was a great class. Wait til you see the one 5 years from now!.... Then 5 years after that. Haters should stop tearing down the wnba in Clark's name. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR NEW FAN BASE!
This is league is getting chartered flights, but what if the flights turn out to be only on old propeller planes from the 1960s?
So many stars, that is why last year’s ratings were so high….
WNBA GOTTA get it together.
Racism is real, but some people are always going to complain.. it’s about money.. and the level Clark has brought. If it wasn’t for Clark I would have never visited this channel 🎉
Same
Just say THANK YOU Caitlin!!!!!
Nike has to protect their product.
The league isn’t paying for it directly.
Subsidized
I think this has a whole lot more to do with dollars, than race, at least in a direct cause and effect sense. There is zero question that Caitlin Cark's popularity is what moved the needle here, and to a slightly lesser extent Angel Reese and some of the other high profile rookies that garner eyeballs. Said differently, IMHO, it wouldn't matter a lick if the video of CC walking through the airport had surfaced, if she wasn't increasing ticket sales, media sales etc. If you are the Commish and you see ticket sales rising exponentially, and you know you are now in a much better position to negotiate with the TV networks than you were before, voila, you know that you will have the revenue available to pay for charter flights. Now, as to the race issue, it's probably reasonable to assume (unfortunately) that if CC were black, she would not be quite as popular as she is now, but there is also a decent argument that her still of play is also a big factor in her popularity. Examples, no one can dispute that Nikola Jokić and Tim Duncan are phenomenal players, but there is a reason why they'll never approach the popularity of Steph Currie. Why because Currie, at his height, is more relatable to many than a 7-footer, and they way he scores is more exciting for many/most than a 7 footer dominating in the paint, even if the 7 footer ends up scoring more points in any given game.
A legitimate journalist would contact all their resources in the WNBA and ask why the change?
Did anyone on this channel do that?
The quiet racism is loud. Look how many people support Chicago..... empty building. You want more for the WNBA but only words without actions. Where were those 2 millions and why nobody buys a ticket... only words do not fill the arenas. The Indiana game brings 20 000 000 dollars to Dallas with a full arena of people .....I don't know why
Stop commenting when you don’t know what you’re talking about…that game was opened to season ticket holders only and their season tix are sold out…
Sounds like the WNBA has outgrown its commissioner
we need a Black woman commissioner
Y’all look goofy not saying her name but had to use it for click bait😂
The new players are raking in the money to pay for it. Just be glad.
Ali broke the law and make it in trouble for that broadcast but.
There were not 2 million views. There were 2 million impressions which are the way different than views. That means if you scroll past. It accounted in the view, so don't get too excited about that.
No, they're saying why did it have to take the white girl needing it for them to change something. Especially when the WNBA has been needing chartered flights.
Just say Caitlin Clark..how hard would that be????
I’m so sick of this race thing and I grew up in the projects
It's as if the commissioner isn't equipped to lead the W into its next stage of greatness. #NewLeadership
OR maybe it took players STANDING UP and drawing red line.
Wasn’t no money before multiple teams already sold out season tickets it’s a different league. People don’t like to admit one person can change things but Clark is that person. There’s money here now this helps everyone
Naw that's not why. The league couldn't afford to pay for the service now they have a real superstar who carries the league
That's why she's getting paid the "big-bucks"
Bro the way u say best this best that ,like come on man if no cash is there u can't buy a bungalow 😂
Refurbished chartered planes
Y’all need to be grateful and just say thank you when you see Caitlyn Clark
Caitlyn Clark Effect period. Without CC WNBA players will fly economy for the rest of their career 😂
WNBA web problems, especially re streaming, are longstanding. IT was run by the NBA for awhile. I don't if that's still the case. WNBA's website and app are still a mess. It's like their IT is designed by people who like design rather than people visiting the site.
No one wants to make it a race thing. So wr know CC gets her props.
Give these girls/ladies a raise
Caitlin Clark played in front of a sold out arena with high TV views. Angel Reese is playing in front of your typical WNBA crowd right now. These ladies better embrace Caitlin Clark
Hard to get the best quality of a product when the organization as a whole doesn’t make a profit
Hey friend, you might want to amend their Freudian slip of "running in the black" , I imagine that some successful black business people would not appreciate running in the black to mean throwing money away when the revenue is not there to cover expenses
The app is awful.
common sense to charter fly celebrities.
US$25M is actually peanuts compared to the revenue and buzz that Caitlin Clark has generated for both NCAA and WNBA. And no, not even Reese or their other pet athletes can garner that kind of income or attention. Just accept it.
The money changed, Caitlin is bringing in the money to WNBA.
I think everything changes when u have a marque, face of the league player who is bringing eyes to the sport. Suddenly more things become possible because frankly there is a real opportunity to grow the sport that didn’t exist previously. There were good/great players before but u know have a player that grows the sport that gets men to watch. Point blank. It’s the right combination in a single player.
Z views are about 5 seconds long, come on what you mean never try to miss lead people, that whole million people viewing is misleading
That’s what I thought. Twitter views are not people sitting down and watching. It’s scrolling views 😂
There could be 20 Caitlyn Clarks and the WNBA would still be the WNBA.
I would pay to see her play. She’s all natural!
They would give all the props if Caitlin was black 😂
They gotta protect their great yt hope at all costs, but no one watches anyway so...
These are preseason games. They still have some time to get it together. The merch is also lagging. I wanted to get my daughter an Ashley Reese t-shirt. There isn't one available. There are no Sky youth jerseys for any player.
Come on guys. Caitlin did this. She moves the needle period!
Caitlin Clark is the reason. Her words carry weight. This Lady can't even mention CC's Name because she's white. She had no problem mentioning Angel's name.
Name a season that the WNBA. Has turned a profit.
This season WNBA may actually turn a profit this year because of Caitlin.
Relax and accept it!
Caitlyn Clark can actually make this league money for the first time in close to 30 years. Don’t have to be a genius to figure this out.
Race has nothing to do with this. Brittany Grinder isn't popular. Angel Reese and the other lady isn't popular. Caitlin Clark moves the needle because she's exciting to watch.
Sooo many folks are missing the message within this discussion. Sexism and Racism has kept gatekeepers with money and decision power to invest in the WNBA by providing safe, private travel. Decision-makers let an individual out-market and live stream them.... Only AFTER the guarantee of views, did they change to invest.
That part!
People are being willfully obtuse. Do not waste your time.
Sexism and racism doesnt exist
A 14 minute video who never mentioned the real reason why women's basketball on the rise. Even if Alli streamed the game, there wouldn't be 10% if Caitlin is not around. Stop kidding yourselves and hide the truth to the people watching this video.
Lady, if you don't know what a competitive advantage is, you shouldn't be sitting in that chair. You're killing the momentum Catlin Clark has created for the WNBA. Some tatted up lesbian has not done that.
This ridiculous from a black man caitlin can absolutely flat out hoop
Thumbs down on this video and will set this channel to do not recommend. They have no problem using Caitlin Clark for the click bait, but then they can't say Caitlin Clarks name through the whole video. More haters who can't give Caitlin her flowers and props. No problem brining up Angel though. For the record I love Angel too, but please stop with the blatant hate.
Just like it was the optics of Tiger woods, Michael jordan, Muhammad Ali, Babe Ruth, and now Caitlin clark. What do they all have in common? Only one thing - being phenomena.
That's the bottom line, when an athlete becomes a phenomenon then things will change with the sport. A lot lot more money will come into that sports League or industry and suddenly we're going to find millions of fans and kids following and emulating that sport.
Don't make it something that it isn't.
Yow the one girl made wnba popular just please stop saying that anyone else did this stop putting color on it I'm black and didn't care about the wnba until Caitlin Clarke came to the game I bet is she gets injured the rates drop
so some more shit NBA players have to subsidize
They won’t say it because she’s white . Keeping it real .
I paid $35 for a season pass to the WNBA. It should have cost me $135 for the session. When is the WNBA going to charge enough to build a great app and make money to pay the players
It was 25 last year lol. I bought it last year and this year.
They might not have intended for this video to be racist but it is. To pretend that this was about optics and not about the additional revenue that a certain somebody (I wasn't sure if I was even allowed to say her name) generated already this year is delusional. Imagine two white people making a video about how the NBA finally gave the players the salaries that they deserved and called it optics when in reality it was because immense popularity of Michael Jordan (I know Bird/Magic started it, stay with me), and the two white people never say Jordan's name or give him credit. And then pretend that no blacks should be upset about this slight.
Massaging the truth and forming your own narratives ......Jesus God, man .....stop ......... Ya finally have a true star who can make positive changes for the league and ya can't handle who it is......... admit it
What changed is the money they hope is coming due to the CC effect to pay for it. Thank CC.
You people are whacked it’s Clark you just don’t want to see it
I did not know a single WNBA player besides the girl who was in Russia before Caitlin Clark.... so if I saw any of them last year in the airport I would not know....
The NBA throwing good money after bad. 😂
Why do you keep saying "certain individuals"?
Why not say the name? Caitlin! Thankyou Caitlin.
Take the W publicly, and have these conversations in private... not posted online. It's racially petty.
Your guest, Terrika Foster-Brasby, uses too many worlds to explain the core reason for the WNBA’s unexpectedly rapid reversal on now using charter flights which is the drawing power of Caitlin Clark who is filling the WNBA’s coffers. The charters offer high security to protect the CC Golden Egg, and your guest displays favoritism by saying “certain individuals” when we know that it is one individual: Caitlin Clark. And, no, Britney Griner ’s past play is not the current motivation for charters because she neither draw money then nor now to the league; Rather, she was the apposite; She disincentivized sponsors and folks from supporting the league and filling seats. For right now, the WNBA universe revolves around the Caitlin Clark asset which the league must protect, hence the sudden choice to use charters after years of stubborn refusals.

Optics? Nobody bothered about optics, or the WNBA, until Caitlin Clark came along. If she was black, this host would be saying her name all day long. Title is clickbait and trying to make money off Caitlin's name.😂
