And then after she apologized in private to Caitlyn swoops went nuts and did not want to talk about her for the next 5 months and she's having one of the great rookie seasons ever in the W. Something is deeply wrong with Sheryl
Agree...the only thing swoopes can do is to do a 180. She needs to apologize to Caitlin, the WNBA, and start being a professional....but from the little i have seen, i don't believe she is capable. She's a "has been", that needs to repent and turn her life around.
No it's not so you can't support Angel Reese as a black woman and tell who is hating on CC call there names the only hate I see is coming from CC fans now you successful undermine a black woman's job the definition of racism the ability to affect change socially or economically
@@GigglewithFelix321This is why i say it isn’t racism. She’s just psychotically envious that she’s being surpassed and can do nothing about it. She shows love to white players routinely. It’s jealousy
If you find you're digging yourself into a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. When it comes to Clark, Stoops traded her shovel for a backhoe.
Kudos to CC's parents for how they raised her,,, dont know a 20-22 year old who has had to put up with so much verbal & physical Abuse- and always taken the High Road,,, part of her greatness is not getting down in the mud with these creeps. Not just swoopes, the whole dang Chicago Sky team and Coach--- and keeps smiling,,, Young girls have a REAL role model ...
I'm from the Caribbean and it's because of CC me and my family started watching WNBA and now we know about other players as well..CC 💯👑💫🌟✨ and the fever is contagious...
Are white pple terrified to call black pple racist? Black plle are more racist than anyone in the world. Look at the insane verifiable racism towards Clark all year
Swoops comes off as a bully, and with no instigation. Caitlyn Clark is composed, keeps everything positive, raises up all of her teammates, and shows respect, humility, and appreciation towards all the WNBA legends that came before her.
Nancy Lieberman has done more for women's basketball than swoops ever did! The only reason she gets a pass is because of her color not because of her past. Do u think if Nancy did the same thing towards Reese she would still have a job? I don't think so! As Swoops said, black people can't be racist 😂😂😂
Nah she’s just a racist who has been validated in her racism the last 5 years so she doesn’t understand what is going on and that actual fans are sick of the BS
Very good point about the pace. But the accuracy is key also. 😊 I didn't like to watch basketball before I checked out CC. Now I'm hooked on HER. The Fever team has been inspired to play great... by CC. Coach? IDK... She must be good too.
Swoopes has shown us that the league needs an overhaul! Old ideas and outdated methods! From the commissioner on down...fire everyone and start over at the start of the new season. The Fever has awaken the sleepy WNBA league and now everyone is training hard and getting ready for CC & the Fever! "Let go!"
Rachel, really enjoy your podcasts, you always seem to have interesting and intelligent things to say about women's basketball. No one can take anything away from what Sheryl Swoopes accomplished as a player, but the fact remains that she has shown repeatedly in her post-WNBA career that she is not a good person. Her telling Caitlin that she was "confused" about the extra Covid year is rich. Swoopes has peddled so many falsehoods about Clark, concerning the duration of her college career, her age, frequency of shots, Clark being a one-dimensional passer, an on-court bully, and on and on. All things easily refuted with a 10 second Google search. She is constantly trying to demean and diminish the WNBA's most valuable asset AS A WNBA EMPLOYEE, and the league is allowing it to happen. Truly shameful. The WNBA really needs to cut all ties with this toxic woman.

@@trutherjay8447 I respect your opinion, and I grew up in New York… this scenario is a bit different. It has everything to do with her being a white girl we both know it… what happens if Kaitlyn becomes the greatest player of all time and she happens to be white?? that’s what they don’t want to happen
@@TheOnesimple true I think I’m ready for the season to be over cause this is draining and I’m not even a huge Clark fan my favorite player is Sabrina mabrey but Clark and Reese don’t deserve this hate especially if it’s cause of the skin color
If you search "WNBA diss track", exactly what you said (and more) I lay out in blunt, and offensive terms. As much as I like Rachel, even she's avoiding stating the obvious (I guess she has to). But yeah, search that if you can.
i would say a better comparison would be to deshields...the one who flagrantly fouled caitlin. I look at reese as just a jealous immature kid that has time to grow up. Deshields and swoopes are a better comparison....hell, swoopes even defended deshields...i don't know anyone else on this planet that would defend that act.
Worded perfectly, “Iowa team with better players”. I wrote on another podcast that Caitlin was teaching Sides and her teammates the Iowa system, run the floor, back door cuts and pick and roll. If this team ever puts together 40 minutes, oh the carnage.
Swoops is not just digging herself into a hole, but that hole is in a pile of manure. The hate started before the first game was played, so, where did it begin, and will it end this year?
The SAS show that had Nancy Lieberman as a guest when this all came out showed a graphic that 17% of all the flagrant fouls in the WNBA this season have been committed on Caitlin Clark. That is just crazy.
I had never watched the WNBA, not even news clips, until I stumbled upon UA-cam shorts of Caitlin Clark getting beat up and the jealousies. With all the videos I've been watching of Caitlin Clark, UA-cam has now prioritized Caitlin Clark content on my homepage. That's primarily what I've been viewing on UA-cam lately. I mentioned to my brother about the upcoming Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics game September 19. He plans to buy tickets for himself and his son. Meanwhile, living near San Francisco without a WNBA team until 2025, I intend to purchase an online subscription to watch the game. As a former athlete and a member of the 1970 National High School Cross-Country Champions, I commend you for your unique, honest, yet tactfully sensitive analysis.
The only thing I knew about the WNBA is that the American hater got traded for the merchant of death from Russia. Once Clark came on the scene I watched about 5 UA-cam videos a day. By far what you have said is the most spot-on video I have ever seen. You are correct the reason WMBA hasn't grown it is so full of unlikeable characters. You are so spot on saying the WMBA needs to grow up.
If you look closely at Angel Reese's rebounds in the @WNBA, there are constant rebounds of shots that she herself misses close to the basket and I have counted up to 5 rebounds in 6 seconds and she doesn't put the ball in the basket, what a joke
The only reason Swoopes knew about what year Caitlin was in was because Nancy Lieberman called her to tell her she was wrong but that was the last time Swoppes spoke to Nancy Lieberman
Apparently, Sheryl has major issues, and doesn’t know how to face them. I agree with everything you said, Rachel. Brilliant observations, and wonderful inside knowledge you shared wit us! Appreciate you and your positive light, outlook, and understanding!!
I’m calling out the commissioner to bring about fair treatment to all the victims of these woke players. WNBA needs a revamp from the top and axe those delusional legends who acts like they’re the gods of the court..it’s swooping time😮
I have never watched a WNBA basketball game up until a couple months ago. Now i am watching it and the commentary social media channels several times a day. I am going to continue to watch closely. The part that got me going was Angel Reese disrespecting Caitlin with the hand gestures, before i even realized who Caitlin was. As a child, i was bullied, and I have a bias against any bullying. Its to a point now that I not only root for Caitlin, I root against Chicago. I am still so shocked how Caitlin just drew that flagrant fall by deshields. I figured that All this hate against Caitlin was just jealousy by by immature youngsters. Then i saw all the media about Swoopes. Now i am beginning to believe that it is WNBA itself that is causing this. How this year pans out will depend on if i continue to watch WNBA. I am certain that if Angela becomes rookie of the year or Swoopes doesn't grow up, that i likely will never watch WNBA again after this year. WNBA has an opportunity to ruin itself or to grow itself....let's see what happens.
Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark are the WNBA's Splash Sista's and it's amazing to watch! Unfortunately Sheryl Swoopes won't put away her "Joy Reid" card long enough to enjoy what we are watching.
But think about all the people that was irrelevant before CC arrived... ESPN pundits, retired WNBA players, female players becoming famous for hard fouls on CC! Everyone is getting paid! Swoopes has new nails, makeup, horse hair and a new wardrobe! Business has never been so good in the WNBA! CC has made everyone rich & famous!!! So what are they so mad about again??? I don't get it! I've never seen so many people coming out of retirement...it's like a gold rush!!!
That was a non-apology to Caitlin. Firstly, she needed to do it publicly, and secondly, she needed to address ALL the lies she told on Gil’s Arena, not just the that she played for 5 years. And since then, she’s been still awful to Caitlin. Talk about immature. How sad, the 22 year old rookie is more mature and has more grace than that older woman. Shameful.
BINGO! Swoopes said she "made A mistake", not multiple. That's NOT an apology. Plus, Swoopes only texted Clark yet she CALLED Reese. Swoopes' bias is clear.
Bill Cameron owns the wings he is also a minority owner of Thunder where Nancy Lieberman is an analyst for the Thunder so it should come ss no surprise that he brought her in plus she lives in Frisco Texas and is heavily thought of in the Dallas Area
They have to,if they want the WNBA to be around!! Need to take the control of the league,get it out of the black0 les$%ans players hands and make it a respectful league for all races of women,not just one!!!
Regarding 1 of the motives for Swoopes' hate: - another YT streamer did the research and found out that Caitlin is on pace to beat all of Swoopes' records, with already beating Swoopes' best MVP loaded team season stats in over 95% of the major stat categories (I think 15 categories?).
Not a surprise. I won't be at all shocked if Caitlin doesn't hold every WNBA offensive record & even be in top 20 all time in some defensive stats, by the end of her career.
@@JustCallMeMr.Incognito If her career isn't ended by a foul from an opposing player, or if she leaves the league whether to a different one or totally quits playing the game.
Like the leftist radical Whoopi Goldberg who never says Trumps name she always say "you know who" these lunatics are absolutely insane and openly racists towards whites especially straight whites
I think it all ties into AR and how SS thinks AR should be ROTY and is trying to promote her by demeaning CC. It’s just not working because CC is kicking everyone’s butt on the court.
Numbers don't like. Comparing Clark's stats to Reese's proves it's a no contest. Only aspect Reese's stats are better is rebounding. Caitlin even averages more blocks per game compared to Reese.
That text alleged apology was as fake as can be! First off, she declined to mention the 40 shots per game and CC being 25 years old nonsense! A real apology wouldve been at least a phone call apologizing for ALL of the BLATANT LIES she said on GA's pod, not a flippin' text message! Im not an AR fan, but as a Human being, I am worried about AR's mental health in the near future! AR literally believes her basketball skills are comparable to CC's, and thats absurd, AT BEST! These AR fans are setting her up for a serious mental health issue by lying to her and everyone else! The whole thing is so sad, and the worst part about it all is that CC hasnt done anything to anyone but play hard and not complain or ask for special treatment! NOBODY expects CC to get special treatment or not played physical, and competitively, NOBODY! We just want the BS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO INJURE HER TO STOP!
All Swoopes did was say she "made A mistake" not several nor was it an actual apology. I totally agree, the proper & mature way to handle it was to at least CALL Caitlin as opposed to a tex, which Swoopes originally said was a private exchange & would not reveal any details. Then she lied again by posting screen shots in an ATTEMPT to repair high her already ruined reputation.
Let’s look at it this way Kaitlyn Clark came into that losing team almost at the bottom of the barrel and changed it because all those players are there before she came. It would happen took them five or 67 games but look where they are now.
Starting at 10:15 in the video you nail the CC effect. She plays like no other player out there...her ball skills are amazing...her shooting is a thing of beauty...and her stamina is incredible....now it is like her teammates are catching up...when they are clicking they are hard to stop....annnd Caitlin is just so fun to watch!
If I make a stupid statement or take a stupid stance on a subject, I should have the courage and desire to make things right. Sheryl, it's not too late.
We've lost "Truth" in our society in so many areas...political...business....sports and others areas. Nancy spoke the truth while Swoopes just spews a false narrative over and over! She has lost credibility!....Caitlin is an amazing player...and a fantastic person!
Diana Taurasi said it on national TV! "Reality is coming!" She just didn't know that reality was coming for them all! LMAO It's not racism...it's worst! It's narcissism! Just look at all the famous black/ white players hating on CC. So it not racism it envy/ jealousy/ resentment conceal in narcissistic behavior. Not one of these so called GOATs has made a difference in the WNBA and now they want recognition! Okay... "you guys kept the league afloat until Caitlin's arrival! Thanks guys!!! We'll handle it from here!!!" Move out the way...
I recommend you watch the following video of Sheryl Swoopes leading Texas Tech to the 1993 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship at ua-cam.com/video/jl2PLzPepVs/v-deo.html. Swoopes had a great relationship with her white teammates.
Great program. I interviewed Sheryl Swoopes for a newspaper story 29 years ago in Lake Havasu City, AZ. I have always remembered how great she was. It doesn't jive with the person we see today.
Why is majority of the race so salty about CC?? I never heard any news of her talking bad about any player, and she brings viewership to the league too.
Great job and really, you hit all the pressure points. Old school coaching, attitudes and barbaric strategies. We don't need a whole league of 17-18 year tenured players. No one's been watching that style. It really should mimic the play that we see in the women's college elite 8 and final 4. It's Showtime... let's get it! Again, great job! I've watched a couple of your videos but now I've just subscribed.
@johnwear4354 *was maybe! I never watched any WNBA pre Caitlin so Swoops is completely irrelevant to me. Clark, Mitchell, Boston, Hull, Samuelson, Smith, Dantes, Fagbenle, Wheeler Saxton, Wallace, Ionescu, Carter, Reese....,,,today's players I recognize when I see them! Sheryl Swoopes is a dried up old woman full of racial hate and envy. Sue Bird isn't! Why can't Swoopes be more like Sue Bird?
I've recently discovered your videos and I must say I agree with everything you've said. You speak with intelligence, objectivity, factually, honesty and just plain common sense. It's truly refreshing considering all the garbage and hate that we see on social media. I never subscribe to anything but you're so impressive and I'm now a huge fan. Keep up the great work and continue what you're doing. You have a bright future and I look forward to seeing you in all your roles.
Call this what it is. Extreme Jealousy .And reverse Racism. Shame on Sheryl Swoops. If Caitlin was not in their league, they would be back to flying couch or riding buses. I am a black man but this is dispicable behavior from Sheryl Swoops and her ilk. Shame on her.
The hate and resentment towards Caitlin Clark is due to the sponsorships and endorsements she got in NIL (name, image & likeness) deals while she was at the University of Iowa and it has been reported to be worth around $3.5 million and this is before Caitlin came to the WNBA. This was before she got that $28 million contract with Nike.
All this started back in 2023 during the NCAA tournament. When Catilin broke Swoopes single tournament scoring record. Swoopes made some unprofessional comments then also.
I'll give Swoopes a LITTLE leeway since Clark did it in 6 games but I think a more interesting & telling stat is Clark averaged 3.5 more points per game in her 6 games compared to Swoopes performance in 5 games.
@@JustCallMeMr.Incognito However, I think Sheryl Swoopes had a higher percentage of shots made. In the 1993 NCAA Women's Championship game, Swoopes hit 16 of 24 shots from the field, or 67%. Did Clark ever make this high of a percentage of shots from the field? More importantly, as to points per game, Clark had a total of 191 points over 6 games, for a per game average of 31.8. Swoopes scored 177 points over 5 games, for a per game average of 35.4 points per game. So, please correct me if I am wrong, but Swoopes scored an average of 3.6 more points per game than Clark in the NCAA Women's Basketball championship tournament.
@@johnwear4354 you're correct, I mixed up who had which avg. PPG. Supporters of both Clark & Swoopes can likely go back & forth endlessly over various stats. Swoopes was a great player at the time but level of overall competition & ability is vastly different now & Swoopes has ruined her legacy among most due to her clear dislike/bias for Clark.
@@johnwear4354 maybe not "unprofessional" but clearly meant to discredit Clark setting record for total points in a single NCAA tournament & breaking Swoopes' record.
Sunday afternoon my wife looked at me and said did you ever dream we would be excited for a WNBA game!! I had watched before but she’s only watched our son. Unbelievable how much fun we’re having watching the Fever and learning about new players. Great stuff!!
Thanks Ms. Demita! Keep posting good content. Sad about haters. WOW! GREAT analysis on the state of the WNBA. Change is coming, hopefully they go with it or be left behind.. CC is ROY and vote as MVP! Uwian na! Mabuhay!
Swoopes lies about CC in public, but apologizes in private.
And then after she apologized in private to Caitlyn swoops went nuts and did not want to talk about her for the next 5 months and she's having one of the great rookie seasons ever in the W. Something is deeply wrong with Sheryl
Should change her name to Sheryl Oops, for not fact checking before making statements that she needs to apologize for!!!! Lolol
I agree. She’s trying to stay relevant but is making herself irrelevant. 😮😂😂
... apologizes for ONE of her numerous lies. And that wasn't even her fault, it was the stupid Covid that was soooo confusing!
Is there any other way?
Immature and Narcissistic of Swoops to post a private message in public! #Petty
Agree...the only thing swoopes can do is to do a 180. She needs to apologize to Caitlin, the WNBA, and start being a professional....but from the little i have seen, i don't believe she is capable. She's a "has been", that needs to repent and turn her life around.
I've been say this woman is nutZ with a "Z!" If she is ever near CC increase security! I'm saying "Crazy!"
Immature for Nacy to talk about their private phone call on SAS's tv show.
No it's not so you can't support Angel Reese as a black woman and tell who is hating on CC call there names the only hate I see is coming from CC fans now you successful undermine a black woman's job the definition of racism the ability to affect change socially or economically

💯
Her pettiness is destroying her legacy. Being a great basketball player does not make you a smart and thoughtful human being.
To show that much hatred and jealousy is damaging her legacy. Maybe she was a dynamic player, but behind closed doors, this is who she is. A bully
or a good person.
She was a 'great' when nobody watched the sport. Now someone comes along, a generational player, and it greys out everything Swoopes 'achieved'.
Being a racist is beyond petty jealousy.
@@CalLaBaut Swoopes was also a generational player.

WNBA needs to "swoop" down and cut ties with her.😊
Swoops earned all hate she’s getting. All bark no bite, just petty
She isn't even really getting much hate, just accountability.
Swoopes is just another racist. Nothing petty about that.
Sheryl is bitter because she is broke. Now she's unemployable as well.
And she's a hard hardcore racist towards whites
She needs food to maintain that figure
She work for herself a pod case. Which CC fans watch😂😂

Nancy L need to be the commissioner of wnba!!!!!!!!!!
She is no nonsense. I think she would do well
Are white pple terrified to call black pple racist? Black plle are more racist than anyone in the world. Look at the insane verifiable racism towards Clark all year
100% ❤ That's the right choice right there.
Perfect. Engelbret is useless. Just uses the buzz words . Has no clue of operations.
Good idea
No accountability. Swoops is coming off as jealous and biased.
Swoopes is racist. She can't stand a white woman being successful in a predominantly black league.
Swoops comes off as a bully, and with no instigation. Caitlyn Clark is composed, keeps everything positive, raises up all of her teammates, and shows respect, humility, and appreciation towards all the WNBA legends that came before her.
Naw. It's too late for Swoops to save her legacy. She ruined that at Loyola-Chicago, and now this.
The fact that America is not addressing racism from black people does not help. This is about race.
100%. “Only white people can be racist” is absolute bullshit and needs to be talked about as such.
Nancy Lieberman has done more for women's basketball than swoops ever did! The only reason she gets a pass is because of her color not because of her past. Do u think if Nancy did the same thing towards Reese she would still have a job? I don't think so! As Swoops said, black people can't be racist 😂😂😂
Stephen A Smith was right about Swoopes.
I'm not at all a fan of Stephen A Smith. I think he's too abrasive & over the top but, I give him props for calling out Swoopes.
The reason people love the Fever and CC is the pace….Swoopes is living in yesteryear….its time for her to pass the torch.
Nah she’s just a racist who has been validated in her racism the last 5 years so she doesn’t understand what is going on and that actual fans are sick of the BS
Swoopes has managed to snuff out that torches flame !
Very good point about the pace. But the accuracy is key also. 😊 I didn't like to watch basketball before I checked out CC. Now I'm hooked on HER. The Fever team has been inspired to play great... by CC. Coach? IDK... She must be good too.

@@TheOnesimple true I think I’m ready for the season to be over cause this is draining and I’m not even a huge Clark fan my favorite player is Sabrina mabrey but Clark and Reese don’t deserve this hate especially if it’s cause of the skin color
@@TheOnesimple 👍👍👍
If you search "WNBA diss track", exactly what you said (and more) I lay out in blunt, and offensive terms. As much as I like Rachel, even she's avoiding stating the obvious (I guess she has to). But yeah, search that if you can.
And still CC has not jumped in the drama. Just pray and continue to focus on your game. Thankfully she has sound family.
I commented her first that. I hope she continues to stay above the bs and just keeps playing bball and getting better. That’s all she wants to do.
Amazing breakdown!! Loving the content, CC winning a championship would be insaneeee this season but could you imagine
We believe. What a story that would be. Great story for a movie unless Disney makes it.
Hollywood for sure would make a movie out of it if the Fever wins the championship. A Cinderella movie
@@rodwellchigome7567 If Disney would make it, CC's character would be anything but white. Just like what they did to Snow White.
@@Kal_El_08 Hahaha. Too true.
The immaturity and unprofessionalism of Swoopes is equal to that of Angel 'The Thug' Reese!
i would say a better comparison would be to deshields...the one who flagrantly fouled caitlin. I look at reese as just a jealous immature kid that has time to grow up. Deshields and swoopes are a better comparison....hell, swoopes even defended deshields...i don't know anyone else on this planet that would defend that act.
SS is an example of what is wrong with the WNBA
Worded perfectly, “Iowa team with better players”. I wrote on another podcast that Caitlin was teaching Sides and her teammates the Iowa system, run the floor, back door cuts and pick and roll. If this team ever puts together 40 minutes, oh the carnage.
Swoops is not just digging herself into a hole, but that hole is in a pile of manure. The hate started before the first game was played, so, where did it begin, and will it end this year?
The SAS show that had Nancy Lieberman as a guest when this all came out showed a graphic that 17% of all the flagrant fouls in the WNBA this season have been committed on Caitlin Clark. That is just crazy.
Not just that but 4 of the 5 flagrant fouls, at least at the time, were committed by Chicago players. That's NOT just coincidental or random.
I had never watched the WNBA, not even news clips, until I stumbled upon UA-cam shorts of Caitlin Clark getting beat up and the jealousies. With all the videos I've been watching of Caitlin Clark, UA-cam has now prioritized Caitlin Clark content on my homepage. That's primarily what I've been viewing on UA-cam lately.
I mentioned to my brother about the upcoming Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics game September 19. He plans to buy tickets for himself and his son. Meanwhile, living near San Francisco without a WNBA team until 2025, I intend to purchase an online subscription to watch the game.
As a former athlete and a member of the 1970 National High School Cross-Country Champions, I commend you for your unique, honest, yet tactfully sensitive analysis.
The only thing I knew about the WNBA is that the American hater got traded for the merchant of death from Russia. Once Clark came on the scene I watched about 5 UA-cam videos a day. By far what you have said is the most spot-on video I have ever seen. You are correct the reason WMBA hasn't grown it is so full of unlikeable characters. You are so spot on saying the WMBA needs to grow up.
If you look closely at Angel Reese's rebounds in the @WNBA, there are constant rebounds of shots that she herself misses close to the basket and I have counted up to 5 rebounds in 6 seconds and she doesn't put the ball in the basket, what a joke
I would fire her from the start matter fact I demand ESPN to do it or I will call them out
Caitlin let's her play do the talking
Like all the greats! She’s outclassing the haters by rising above the petty & continuing to elevate her game!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The only reason Swoopes knew about what year Caitlin was in was because Nancy Lieberman called her to tell her she was wrong but that was the last time Swoppes spoke to Nancy Lieberman
Apparently, Sheryl has major issues, and doesn’t know how to face them. I agree with everything you said, Rachel. Brilliant observations, and wonderful inside knowledge you shared wit us! Appreciate you and your positive light, outlook, and understanding!!
I’m calling out the commissioner to bring about fair treatment to all the victims of these woke players. WNBA needs a revamp from the top and axe those delusional legends who acts like they’re the gods of the court..it’s swooping time😮
I have never watched a WNBA basketball game up until a couple months ago. Now i am watching it and the commentary social media channels several times a day. I am going to continue to watch closely. The part that got me going was Angel Reese disrespecting Caitlin with the hand gestures, before i even realized who Caitlin was. As a child, i was bullied, and I have a bias against any bullying. Its to a point now that I not only root for Caitlin, I root against Chicago. I am still so shocked how Caitlin just drew that flagrant fall by deshields. I figured that All this hate against Caitlin was just jealousy by by immature youngsters. Then i saw all the media about Swoopes. Now i am beginning to believe that it is WNBA itself that is causing this. How this year pans out will depend on if i continue to watch WNBA. I am certain that if Angela becomes rookie of the year or Swoopes doesn't grow up, that i likely will never watch WNBA again after this year. WNBA has an opportunity to ruin itself or to grow itself....let's see what happens.
Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark are the WNBA's Splash Sista's and it's amazing to watch! Unfortunately Sheryl Swoopes won't put away her "Joy Reid" card long enough to enjoy what we are watching.
It's the Cinderella treatment right?
CC is a Splash Assister! (you read it here first)
@@nocakeforsusan8701 Good one! They are fun to watch. They really have grown a lot since the start of the season.
Rachel 2K > Sheryl Swoopes🙂
💯
This is stupid, just keep it basketball & keep CC away from this bull-sht drama
There is some irony to this. Millions of people didn't know who Swoopes was until CC came along.
True💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯
You sound stupid. If you didn't know who Swoops is and was you're not a basketball fan.
But think about all the people that was irrelevant before CC arrived... ESPN pundits,
retired WNBA players, female players becoming famous for hard fouls on CC!
Everyone is getting paid! Swoopes has new nails, makeup, horse hair and a new
wardrobe! Business has never been so good in the WNBA! CC has made everyone
rich & famous!!! So what are they so mad about again??? I don't get it! I've never
seen so many people coming out of retirement...it's like a gold rush!!!
@@Genghistron-K lol you sound crazy
@@Genghistron-K What a particularly weird push for Swoopes. One she will always be remembered for, instead of her legacy. Incredibly stupid!
If Swoopes wants to turn off prospective fans over race, she can just be forgotten.
That was a non-apology to Caitlin. Firstly, she needed to do it publicly, and secondly, she needed to address ALL the lies she told on Gil’s Arena, not just the that she played for 5 years. And since then, she’s been still awful to Caitlin. Talk about immature. How sad, the 22 year old rookie is more mature and has more grace than that older woman. Shameful.
BINGO! Swoopes said she "made A mistake", not multiple. That's NOT an apology. Plus, Swoopes only texted Clark yet she CALLED Reese. Swoopes' bias is clear.
Bill Cameron owns the wings he is also a minority owner of Thunder where Nancy Lieberman is an analyst for the Thunder so it should come ss no surprise that he brought her in plus she lives in Frisco Texas and is heavily thought of in the Dallas Area
Yes you right
Hopefully Kelsey sticks around next year
They need to pay her! 💯💯💯💯
Sheryl just needs to let it rest Nancy is all class
All bullys including players need to be let go permanent..
They have to,if they want the WNBA to be around!! Need to take the control of the league,get it out of the black0 les$%ans players hands and make it a respectful league for all races of women,not just one!!!
If that's the case it's most of the wnba
Racists like Swoopes needed to be let go, a long time ago.
With CC dipping out of WNBA, things can go back the way they were, no charter flights & nobody watching the games!
If Swoopes can’t let it go and stay professional she needs to be removed
“Attention is a Hell of a Drug”…
In my opinion, why does anyone care what she thinks? If you can’t be welcoming and supportive… See ya 👋
Because she is influencing the young black women who are all too happy to make life miserable for CC.
Man she’s weird. Her and Monica straight hating on CC. The jealousy at its best
Just like how female rappers hated on nicki Minaj
Swoopes = 🗑️
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
The fish rots from the head. The change has to start by replacing the WNBA Commissioner.
Agreed
I think that Nancy L. Should be The Wnba Commissioner in 2025
Regarding 1 of the motives for Swoopes' hate:
- another YT streamer did the research and found out that Caitlin is on pace to beat all of Swoopes' records, with already beating Swoopes' best MVP loaded team season stats in over 95% of the major stat categories (I think 15 categories?).
Not a surprise. I won't be at all shocked if Caitlin doesn't hold every WNBA offensive record & even be in top 20 all time in some defensive stats, by the end of her career.
@@JustCallMeMr.Incognito If her career isn't ended by a foul from an opposing player, or if she leaves the league whether to a different one or totally quits playing the game.
CLARK is MVP. GLOBAL SUPERSTAR in and out of court. Nancy Lieberman is also a GLOBAL HIT.
There's been a don't say her name thing going around. Like say instead 22 or the point guard.
Like the leftist radical Whoopi Goldberg who never says Trumps name she always say "you know who" these lunatics are absolutely insane and openly racists towards whites especially straight whites
I think it all ties into AR and how SS thinks AR should be ROTY and is trying to promote her by demeaning CC. It’s just not working because CC is kicking everyone’s butt on the court.
Numbers don't like. Comparing Clark's stats to Reese's proves it's a no contest. Only aspect Reese's stats are better is rebounding. Caitlin even averages more blocks per game compared to Reese.
Thank You Rachel and Nancy for being fair and professional . Rachel was so right about a new WNBA
That text alleged apology was as fake as can be! First off, she declined to mention the 40 shots per game and CC being 25 years old nonsense! A real apology wouldve been at least a phone call apologizing for ALL of the BLATANT LIES she said on GA's pod, not a flippin' text message! Im not an AR fan, but as a Human being, I am worried about AR's mental health in the near future! AR literally believes her basketball skills are comparable to CC's, and thats absurd, AT BEST! These AR fans are setting her up for a serious mental health issue by lying to her and everyone else! The whole thing is so sad, and the worst part about it all is that CC hasnt done anything to anyone but play hard and not complain or ask for special treatment! NOBODY expects CC to get special treatment or not played physical, and competitively, NOBODY! We just want the BS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO INJURE HER TO STOP!
a text from february where she admitting making a mistake....it seems to me, all she has done is shown more mistakes that she needs to apologize for.
All Swoopes did was say she "made A mistake" not several nor was it an actual apology. I totally agree, the proper & mature way to handle it was to at least CALL Caitlin as opposed to a tex, which Swoopes originally said was a private exchange & would not reveal any details. Then she lied again by posting screen shots in an ATTEMPT to repair high her already ruined reputation.
Sheryl is playing the fool!
Let’s look at it this way Kaitlyn Clark came into that losing team almost at the bottom of the barrel and changed it because all those players are there before she came. It would happen took them five or 67 games but look where they are now.
it's more than hate it's ENVY
Thanks for making a video on this. I always respect and enjoy hearing your down to earth and honest perspective.
Starting at 10:15 in the video you nail the CC effect. She plays like no other player out there...her ball skills are amazing...her shooting is a thing of beauty...and her stamina is incredible....now it is like her teammates are catching up...when they are clicking they are hard to stop....annnd Caitlin is just so fun to watch!
You are spot on about the W and a complete Change!
If I make a stupid statement or take a stupid stance on a subject, I should have the courage and desire to make things right. Sheryl, it's not too late.
Yep, that would be the mature & responsible thing to do.
Its too late for Swoopes not to be a racist.
@@Orcinus1967 Swoopes is not a racist.
Swoops has opened her mind up for all to see. What the public sees is not very nice.
We've lost "Truth" in our society in so many areas...political...business....sports and others areas. Nancy spoke the truth while Swoopes just spews a false narrative over and over! She has lost credibility!....Caitlin is an amazing player...and a fantastic person!
It's called RACISM
Diana Taurasi said it on national TV! "Reality is coming!" She just didn't know that reality was coming for them all! LMAO
It's not racism...it's worst! It's narcissism! Just look at all the famous black/ white players hating on CC. So it not racism it
envy/ jealousy/ resentment conceal in narcissistic behavior. Not one of these so called GOATs has made a difference
in the WNBA and now they want recognition! Okay... "you guys kept the league afloat until Caitlin's arrival! Thanks guys!!!
We'll handle it from here!!!" Move out the way...
I recommend you watch the following video of Sheryl Swoopes leading Texas Tech to the 1993 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship at ua-cam.com/video/jl2PLzPepVs/v-deo.html. Swoopes had a great relationship with her white teammates.
Subscribed! This Lieberman/Swoopes drama is crazy. Sad that an old friendship is burned to a crisp because of pride.
4:30 the fact that she thinks “getting the covid year” she had was the thing she should be apologizing for. Says a lot lol
Excellent podcast ... keep up the good work.
Great program. I interviewed Sheryl Swoopes for a newspaper story 29 years ago in Lake Havasu City, AZ. I have always remembered how great she was. It doesn't jive with the person we see today.
One word explains everything. NARCISSISM.
Racism.
Why is majority of the race so salty about CC?? I never heard any news of her talking bad about any player, and she brings viewership to the league too.
Swoops doesn’t have “haters”. She has people who call her out for her blatant racism and needless hate towards one specific player.
Great job and really, you hit all the pressure points. Old school coaching, attitudes and barbaric strategies. We don't need a whole league of 17-18 year tenured players. No one's been watching that style. It really should mimic the play that we see in the women's college elite 8 and final 4. It's Showtime... let's get it! Again, great job! I've watched a couple of your videos but now I've just subscribed.
Sheryl Swoopes, who dat? Never heard of her!
Swoopes is one of the best female basketball players of all time.
@johnwear4354 *was maybe! I never watched any WNBA pre Caitlin so Swoops is completely irrelevant to me. Clark, Mitchell, Boston, Hull, Samuelson, Smith, Dantes, Fagbenle, Wheeler Saxton, Wallace, Ionescu, Carter, Reese....,,,today's players I recognize when I see them! Sheryl Swoopes is a dried up old woman full of racial hate and envy. Sue Bird isn't! Why can't Swoopes be more like Sue Bird?
Spot on and subscribed. Nancy needs to be WNBA Commissioner and hire Rachel DeMita.
I've recently discovered your videos and I must say I agree with everything you've said. You speak with intelligence, objectivity, factually, honesty and just plain common sense. It's truly refreshing considering all the garbage and hate that we see on social media. I never subscribe to anything but you're so impressive and I'm now a huge fan. Keep up the great work and continue what you're doing. You have a bright future and I look forward to seeing you in all your roles.
Case study on how to tarnish your legacy. This is what swoops will be remembered for. Emblematic of the vast majority of wnba players.
Call this what it is. Extreme Jealousy .And reverse Racism. Shame on Sheryl Swoops. If Caitlin was not in their league, they would be back to flying couch or riding buses. I am a black man but this is dispicable behavior from Sheryl Swoops and her ilk. Shame on her.
Drama in womans sports is SOOOOOO much worse.. Literally the pettiest thing ive ever seen
It cuts both ways...drama in the NBA exists
Great video, as usual!
Thank you for sharing your perspective and personal knowledge and for breaking down the situation so professionally.
The hate and resentment towards Caitlin Clark is due to the sponsorships and endorsements she got in NIL (name, image & likeness) deals while she was at the University of Iowa and it has been reported to be worth around $3.5 million and this is before Caitlin came to the WNBA. This was before she got that $28 million contract with Nike.
Yet NIL deals & similar endorsements have ZERO to do with on court ability, skill or performance.
All this started back in 2023 during the NCAA tournament. When Catilin broke Swoopes single tournament scoring record. Swoopes made some unprofessional comments then also.
I'll give Swoopes a LITTLE leeway since Clark did it in 6 games but I think a more interesting & telling stat is Clark averaged 3.5 more points per game in her 6 games compared to Swoopes performance in 5 games.
@@JustCallMeMr.Incognito However, I think Sheryl Swoopes had a higher percentage of shots made. In the 1993 NCAA Women's Championship game, Swoopes hit 16 of 24
shots from the field, or 67%. Did Clark ever make this high of a percentage of shots from the field? More importantly, as to points per game, Clark had a total of 191 points over 6 games, for a per game average of 31.8. Swoopes scored 177 points over 5 games, for a per game average of 35.4 points per game. So, please correct me if I am wrong, but Swoopes scored an average of 3.6 more points per game than Clark in the NCAA Women's Basketball championship tournament.
What unprofessional comments did Swoopes make during the 2023 NCAA tournament?
@@johnwear4354 you're correct, I mixed up who had which avg. PPG. Supporters of both Clark & Swoopes can likely go back & forth endlessly over various stats. Swoopes was a great player at the time but level of overall competition & ability is vastly different now & Swoopes has ruined her legacy among most due to her clear dislike/bias for Clark.
@@johnwear4354 maybe not "unprofessional" but clearly meant to discredit Clark setting record for total points in a single NCAA tournament & breaking Swoopes' record.
Sunday afternoon my wife looked at me and said did you ever dream we would be excited for a WNBA game!! I had watched before but she’s only watched our son. Unbelievable how much fun we’re having watching the Fever and learning about new players. Great stuff!!
In a perfect world the WNBA would completely collapse, because Kaitlyn goes to play in the big three, wouldn’t that be fun?
Raechell, you have the best media announcers voice in the business. So very clear and articulate.👍
Thanks Ms. Demita! Keep posting good content. Sad about haters.
WOW! GREAT analysis on the state of the WNBA. Change is coming, hopefully they go with it or be left behind.. CC is ROY and vote as MVP! Uwian na! Mabuhay!
