As a Black man but also a sports fan I'm already a huge fan of Caitlin. Unfortunately social politics and racial identity is ruining sports. Imagine Larry Bird coming up in this era of time? He would get the same hate Caitlin is getting simply because his skin color doesn't make the grade. Hopefully Caitlin's race and sexaul preference won't matter. And people just sees her for the talent she is!
Racism in America is wrong but been embrace like good old “ Apple Pie “ … I agree with Social politics / America’s political environment is part of the problem … Too many people start the conversation about race or racial identity or preferences … The conversation should be about just her potential , accomplishments and how she will impact the WNBA … I believe most of the WNBA, NBA and fans overall believe she is extremely gifted .. why are you and others allow a few people with a different opinion for various reason have people in an uproar “ Like she is the Jackie Robinson of the WNBA “ …. You are feeding the beast on these platforms so why question it ?
Are you REALLY black because you sound twisted? Caitlin may get some hate from some of the jealous women in the WNBA but I assure you she is getting PLENTY of love from adoring fans and corporations! You seem to be skewed...SMDH
Spot on man. I grew up in the time of MLK and was taught by my parents to judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Same thing happened to Jokic last year. Mark Jackson didn't vote for the Joker anywhere on his ballot and listening to Kendrick Perkins say about basically only because Jokic is white
personally i think none of that stuff should matter in basketball. her being white, straight has nothing to do with her talent. for example,angel reese is black brittney griner is gay. she is the GOAT of women’s basketball should be remembered by her skills not by how she looks like or who she dates.
There may be money to be had overseas but overseas is dangerous which should be readily apparent after what happened to Brittney Griner. Also leave it to a fine capitalist to say better to leave your own country and go make money somewhere else. There really is more than money in this life dude.
@@SpinSpin2020 What happened to Griner is she tried to smuggle drugs across a national border, got caught, claimed she should have immunity because she's famous/American/wealthy, got denied on that, and got minimal jail time for it. Incidentally, bringing the same stuff *into* the US would have been a federal felony as well. I have a strong suspicion Caitlin would respect the laws of anywhere she went to play. The problem is she wouldn't get the big brand endorsement deals playing in Russia, so the fact they've got higher salaries to offer and a better environment to play in won't factor into her thinking. Yes, money isn't everything, but women's basketball really doesn't pay that much, careers are short and so she's got to provide for her retirement. It's not as if she's going to get commentary or coaching jobs after she's done playing due to who she is in the current climate.
@virgilrobertsjr7870 why would the WNBA botch her playing in the WNBA? I am a season ticket holder from day one for the Phoenix Mercury WNBA I probably know a thing or two more about the WNBA thing than you do. go ahead and take that as disrespectful if you will but some of these controversies are invented just like with everything the headlies have to pretend there're problems when there are not or at least not to the extent that everyone would like to throw out there. Should I throw in an emoji. smh
OR Caitlin could do a televised shoot-around BY HERSELF once or twice a week, maybe go for world-records of different types? I'd watch, the league simply is not watchable.
She and Angel Reese made more money from NIL and commercials than they will in WNBA, however, they could be the reason why ppl have more eyes on the WNBA and if that's the case, if tickets sales improve. Money improves, contracts improves, jealousy may also improve though
This video is very informative and not to be taken lightly. Not too long ago there was another phenom coming into the WNBA by the name of Candace Parker who was straight and the league tried its best to shield and take care of. She even got married to an NBA player and had a baby. However, the forces of the WNBA eventually got to Candace as she got divorced and remarried a woman and had another baby. Don't underestimate the evil spirit that grips that league. Praying for Caitlin...
Wiggins quit after what she went through. Skylar Diggins- Smith has gotten some hate. Caitlin Clark could be different. She is bringing a lot of eyes and money to the sport. If they go after Caitlin with all the off the court, this could backfire bigtime on the league. Millions of New fans could turn on the WNBA. If they leave Caitlin alone they may get more pay. You know why all the pro golfer like/love Tiger Woods. They are making 10X more money because of him.
I hope you are right, but the egos on some of these girls is insane. You will get snarky comments about how the product was always "great" and it shouldn't take Clark playing to showcase that, but it's just not true.

First sign of this kneeling and social justice bullshyt or worse--trying to take out Caitlin--and it is pretty much a wrap.
I like Caitlin. The WNBA needs all the help it can get. If they are too stupid to understand what a gem Caitlin in to them, then they will fail b/c of their shortsightedness. Regardless, Caitlin will be fine!
Amen! She will maybe play 1 year and retire and go over seas and make millions in sponsorships, while the lesbian woke WNBA league will fold like a cheap lawn chair! The NBA is already subsidizing them big time. So bye, bye! She will become the next Tiger Woods, and I love Tiger. I love watching him and how he analyses the course he’s on. He’s a once in a lifetime golfer and he is the main reason I started watching golf and still do. I will watch Caitlyn Clark where ever she plays, and tv will pay huge money to cover her!
She won't have to go overseas, she's making enough $$ from NIL to subsidize her earnings. Who wants to go overseas where all this troubling violence and war is taking place?
Nobody cares what Sheryl Swoopes thinks. I love that she's STRAIGHT and that they're jealous of her! What a hero. And The absolute GREATEST ever women's collegiate basketball superstar!
@BelaMasz123. It’s already started. USA freaking TODAY wrote an article how women’s basketball should have a “black” face as it’s representation of the game. Who do you think that was aimed at to hurt? Angel Reese? JuJu Watkins? Do you really not think it was a racist article?
@@rickfrench8905I haven't been watching, and I haven't seen her moaning any more than the other "stars" in the tournament. Tell me, should she start acting respectfully like Angel Reese, who runs her mouth the whole game and taunts opponents at every opportunity? Tell me Clark's skin tone doesn't sit well with you without saying Clark's skin tone doesn't sit well with you.
Reese is a total thug! Clark just needs to quit bitching. Her running up to officials and getting in their face is over the line. Any other player would have been given a technical. Even her dad is telling her to chill out. She is very good, but rules apply to everyone.
Really gonna put things in perspective when Caitlin Calrk, an actually talented and skilled basketball player, goes up against all these whiny complainers in the WNBA who are more open to complaining as a strategy to make people watch rather than just displaying higher levels of skill and competence
She'll be fine, she's tough and can handle herself. I'd love it if she just skipped the WNBA and bolted somewhere overseas that pays her way more than the WNBA can even dream of paying her. She'll still receive endorsements there and in America. Stick it to the weirdos in that God awful league.
Winning will change many ideas ! Caitlin is a winner and her team will be a winner . Players only hurt their selves if they don’t welcome and support her.
I believe that these woke WNBA players want to actually hurt Clark... they are angry...why? I do believe I never heard M.J. talk politics.. Clark, keep it just basketball and you will be great, get stronger mentally and physically. Game Face!!! You are solid Clark.
A lot of people who make a career from talking about sports don't seem to understand how important stars are for a developing organization. CC could be the Ronda Rousey of WNBA, if the gatekeepers don't succeed at stopping her.
I'm scared for her. Luckily, she has a supportive boyfriend who works for the Indiana Pacers. So if she goes 1st pick to Indiana he can be there for her.
@@ryanciani3324 Her boyfriend is Connor McCaffery. I think they have been dating for over two years. He is a former Iowa Hawkeye Basketball player. (His Dad is the Iowa Men's basketball coach) if you search you can find pictures of them golfing, boating, watching games etc.
It is amazing the amount of hate and venom directed at Caitlin Clark, and all because she is not of the proper, shall we say, "demographic," to be the dominant player in women's college basketball. Come to think of it, she also is not of the proper, shall we say, "orientation" to be the darling of the media, especially the empty suits and skirts of the Disney Sports Channel. I am truly hoping that Clark tells the WNBA and ESPN to kiss her ass and takes her talents overseas, where she can play in front of larger crowds, make more money and not have to deal with the toxic American media.
@@ReadR00ster1 I take it you don't know she's about to pass the 4th most assists all time in ncaa history and be #1 in scoring and #3 all time in assists. The girl has created more offense than any other woman in college basketball by almost 1,000 points.
This is NOT the best female basketball player. Reese and LSU were better last year. The UNDEATED Game Cocks and DAWN STALEY were better this year. And both have the CHAMPIONSHIPS to prove it!
At this moment in time, Kaitlyn Clark is the goat like it or not and what makes it really special she straight and likes men again that makes her awesome
The GOAT of what? So to be a GOAT don't you need some championships along with some personal accolades?.....she is a marketable cash cow everyone is cashing in on but not the GOAT of anything.....there are many far more skilled players in college than Clark.....Paige Bueckers is one of them.....elite skills both sides of the ball and better shooter....except Paige doesn't take 25 or 30 shots per game....
It was more than poor! It was what she meant to say! She is just another HATER to put it mildly! Just like all the networks!! 99% black commentators! DEI/WOKENESS!!!!!
❤ your point but it’s a major understatement! I live in Iowa and have watched what Caitlin Clark has done for Iowa and basketball first hand!!!! Swoops should be “about what Caitlin will do FOR the WNBA and Basketball as a whole” which will fill the seats & and add excitement for the young girls coming up and wanting to play the sport! Just like what Swoops did for basketball when she was Caitlin’s age! Being gay or straight shouldn’t have a damn thing to do with it! Swoops and the women playing if this story is true, are being selfish and shortsighted!
Annnnd here we've got another one who believes that Blacks should not own or bear any responsibility when they engage in racist and hateful rhetoric. Swoopes was well aware of what she was saying. She just knew that being of a particular "Demographic," that the media would treat anything she said as gospel.

Think. Caitlin played in more games total. Also, she had one or two years of growth and experience on her competition in the last two to three seasons. So yes, her college record is tainted. EDIT -should say comparable, not tainted. Let's just wait and see what she does in the WNBA.
@RichardIILionheart used the wrong word. I am trying to say it's not comparable. I think she's very good, but it's no use arguing about all this and having this controversy around her until she gets to the WNBA. My comment on comparing her competitors may also be off if the added eligibility equally affected all competitors. The scoring record is not comparable, though. It's not a male vs. female thing, it's just how many more games she played. It might narrow the gap if points/ minute played were looked at.
It will be interesting to see whether her new teammates will accept her for who she is or turn their backs when players from other teams get overly physical.
There's widespread sexual abuse that happens in the black community that helps women into the arms of other women later in life. That's why it's so common in the WNBA.
Concerning the comments of multiple female talking heads on Caitlin Clark, remember the sage words of Al Bundy. "Don't try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other."
If that is true, it will be a terrible shame. Caitlin is an extraordinary player and deserves to be on the court and welcomed into the WNBA. Any gay player who holds the fact that she is "straight" or religious against her is a fool. (And I'm lesbian and atheist.) Just everybody shut up and play ball! You have the attention of millions of new fans. Make something good of that!
This is like taking MJ out of the 1990's NBA ........ they deserve to fail ........ get those applications for Target ready ........ Caitlin? Please go to Europe
She is really going to be discriminated against because she's Catholic and straight? How sad! Why? Are people that shallow? I will be watching this situation.
I believe she won’t have a very tough time in the wnba. The league seems to have realised that she’s the only player who can consistently bring in fans and TV ratings. At a time when the wnba is looking at expansion they’d have to be off the rocker to hinder her. If she’s bullied/harassed and either talks about it or quits , the league may not recover for a while. There have been allegations recently which have been denied as expected but there must be a spotlight on it. Outside of the west coast and north east arenas are not filling up. Middle America is where the big growth will come from and it is not quite as liberal as the aforementioned regions. Who better to have as poster child for the league than CC22. She’s an exciting player like none other, cherishes her family, has a boyfriend in Indiana. A major reason iowa is popular is that those women are perfect role models for middle America. Cultural acceptance of progressive ideas can’t be rammed down the throats of audiences who are expected to pay up.
Similar thing happened to Pete Maravich. There was a lot of resentment for that first million dollar contract and the accompanying national attention ( unheard of them) straight out of college even though it actually opened the door for all athletes to start demanding million dollar contracts, too.
Wow . If thats true about wnba then if the avg viewers are the same then Caitlin Collins will have to make an insane debut and show her org "something " special to even be given the chance. With the viewership of WNBA being hilariously low, if Caitlin can bring in just 5% increase initially ill make the prediction she'll be given a "pass" on her seemingly rare livelihood. I really hope she improves and plays big in the pros like she did in college . Cause im still shocked the WNBA still exists. They desperately need a outsider superstar to grow the fanbase.
Noted in the video as "98%", the stifling heaviness of the WNBA's lesbian atmosphere has already caused a number of highly recruited, heterosexual, star players to simply hang up their sneakers and walk away. Add to that the jealousy which predominantly black lesbian players have for a heterosexual white girl who is already being called "the greatest woman basketball player of all time" -- it's a recipe for disaster. You can't score 30-40 points a game _anywhere_ when no one passes you the ball. CC is a physically strong athlete. But she can't stay on the floor constantly battered, tripped and slammed by so many, much larger players. Caitlin _is_ that "once-in-a-generation" talent. And she's probably worked harder at it, and for longer, than any of her peers. I LOVE watching her play. But, with great regret, I'm still compelled to predict that CC won't stay in the WNBA for more than a year or two, if that. She's too smart, and too talented in so many other ways to put up with an extremely toxic atmosphere smothering her joy.
How many National Championships has Caitlin won? 🧐 People can’t comprehend Black People because we know that yo be the BEST you have to BEAT the BEST by WINNING. 😋🏀
Who cares? How many championships did Larry Bird win? Yet he is the clutchest player of all time. He and Magic saved the NBA. The national championship in college means nothing and her sponsors know this. She is the best there is or ever has been in Womens hoops.
The hate for Catlin is crazy. Her statements aren't even remotely accurate about Catlin and the number of games Catlin has played. Let's stop the take and just settle it on the court.
One thing that everyone seems to be missing is viewership. The '70s was not a good time for the NBA on television. Reports of drug use by a lot of the league stars turned more eyes to the college game. NBA games were televised, but not live. They were tape delayed. Then 2 guys game into the league and transformed the way the game is played and how the games were broadcasted. The limited viewership of the NBA in the 70's seems to parallel the viewership problem with the WNBA. Most American's don't care about someone else's sexual preferences, unless they are constantly hammered about the struggles of being lesbian/gay/trans. A vast majority of American's face hardships daily and continue on without much complaining. Caitlin being straight should not be made a big deal either. Each league had an issue that seemed to impact the ability to gain viewership. She has the opportunity to bring a ton of eyeballs to a league needful of the attention and the money that will bring. Add Angel Reese, JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers arrival into the WNBA one can see an excellent transformation at hand. The current WNBA players need to worry less about politics and enjoy the attention these players will be bringing into the league. More attention will increase pay, viewership, and endorsement opportunities for league events. Hating on players coming into the league over issues that have nothing to do with their talent, will only hasten the death of that league.
WNBA needs a nice girl up there. Good for her I hope she shows them what really matters and is not your skin color or who you have sex with. So sick of all this nonsense.
I can fully understand the females desire to be viewed as equals but chest bumping (ouch) just shouldn’t be part of the equation, leave that to the guys.
i suspect the striaght vs LGBTQ environment varies from team to team. The Seattle Storm certainly did alright the Lauren Jackson (married with two kids) and Sue Bird (partenered with Megan Rapino), who by all accounts got on well with each other.
They see everything in color and can not face the fact that she is not black. It is a shame that a player that may uplift viewership gets knocked before she has walked to an W game.
There’s to many lesbians in the wnba for them to get large make fan base. They’ve been scratching their heads over 20 years now wondering why. Guys need a girl to have a crush on to really follow it. WNBA needs more straight players
It has always been a one-way street for acceptance of leftist ideas. We must accept them. They do not have to accept us. In fact, it is A-OK for them to hate us.
Look at WNBA attendance figures relative to U.S. population increase. It went from nearly 11,000 per game at the peak, down to around 7,000. Kaitlin has two things lacking in the WNBA, discipline and conditioning. Some of the taller girls could learn to do flying dunks if they lost weight, hit the weight room, and developed their vertical leap. They instead opt for a comfortable if somewhat plodding team game. Nothing wrong with it, just brings in fewer fans.
Candace Wiggins was awesome. I wish she was still in the WNBA. we are accepting Lesbian players but not straight players. Talk about Reverse discrimination. So its not a race thing. Its a sexuality thing
Good luck Caitlin!! Keep your values out front…. All us “normal folks” will continue to support you. you’re a role model for young athletes, male an female!!
It's a racist situation. Don't beat around bush..record are there to be broken. Not a thing wrong with that. You played very well, know it Clark's time.

Winning will change many ideas ! Caitlin is a winner and her team will be a winner . Players only hurt their selves if they don’t welcome and support her.
I believe that these woke WNBA players want to actually hurt Clark... they are angry...why? I do believe I never heard M.J. talk politics.. Clark, keep it just basketball and you will be great, get stronger mentally and physically. Game Face!!! You are solid Clark.
I think Caitli will be fine. Backed by God.
She doesn't want to be a carpet muncher. Leave her alone!
That's funny. I didn't see "god" at any games.
How can you bring up god in something like this?
A lot of people who make a career from talking about sports don't seem to understand how important stars are for a developing organization. CC could be the Ronda Rousey of WNBA, if the gatekeepers don't succeed at stopping her.
Perhaps this way women's basketball has no fans.
That who leading WNBA needs to be dismantled and replaced ASAP This is BS!!
I'm scared for her. Luckily, she has a supportive boyfriend who works for the Indiana Pacers. So if she goes 1st pick to Indiana he can be there for her.
She has no boyfriend
@@ryanciani3324 She does have a BF, he is Fran McCaffery's (Iowa men's basketball head coach) son.
@@ryanciani3324 Her boyfriend is Connor McCaffery. I think they have been dating for over two years. He is a former Iowa Hawkeye Basketball player. (His Dad is the Iowa Men's basketball coach) if you search you can find pictures of them golfing, boating, watching games etc.
@ryanciani3324 lol, yes she does. He's literally in the crowd at all of her games
She does and he graduated 2 years ago. And is a Graduate Assistant Coach.
It is amazing the amount of hate and venom directed at Caitlin Clark, and all because she is not of the proper, shall we say, "demographic," to be the dominant player in women's college basketball. Come to think of it, she also is not of the proper, shall we say, "orientation" to be the darling of the media, especially the empty suits and skirts of the Disney Sports Channel.
I am truly hoping that Clark tells the WNBA and ESPN to kiss her ass and takes her talents overseas, where she can play in front of larger crowds, make more money and not have to deal with the toxic American media.
Female version of Larry Bird, yes?
No because Clark is all about shooting 3 pointers and Larry was great at everything.
She plays like Steph.
@@ReadR00ster1she led the nation in assists. Don't be a hater.
@@ReadR00ster1 I take it you don't know she's about to pass the 4th most assists all time in ncaa history and be #1 in scoring and #3 all time in assists. The girl has created more offense than any other woman in college basketball by almost 1,000 points.
@@ReadR00ster1 What the H--L are you talking about? Lies become truths if you repeat enough?
For God Sake , Just Leave Caitlyn Alone.
I hope you joins the most successful team in Europe and makes a fortune. Think of the audience she would bring to European womens basketball
How could anyone have more games if there is Covid? That logic doesn't even make sense even for a second. Does she think we are stupid?
This is NOT the best female basketball player.
Reese and LSU were better last year.
The UNDEATED Game Cocks and DAWN STALEY
were better this year.
And both have the CHAMPIONSHIPS to prove it!
Yawn
First women’s b-ball game I’ve ever watched, because of Clark. WBNA women start dumping on her, WNBA will rejoin NBA as irrelevant to me.
I hope they don't go bankrupt because you don't watch!!
We're talking about "career achievements!"
You're talking about "jealousy!"
What do you think nobody gives a fuck about the WNBA
They do now!
@@JaneyHamiltonthey don't
At this moment in time, Kaitlyn Clark is the goat like it or not and what makes it really special she straight and likes men again that makes her awesome
Amen brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The GOAT of what? So to be a GOAT don't you need some championships along with some personal accolades?.....she is a marketable cash cow everyone is cashing in on but not the GOAT of anything.....there are many far more skilled players in college than Clark.....Paige Bueckers is one of them.....elite skills both sides of the ball and better shooter....except Paige doesn't take 25 or 30 shots per game....
Eat your heart out, there is No better player in the USA than CC👍👏speaking of Real women!
CAITLYN with a K LOL
@@4doorsmorewhors glad u can read😀
Poor statement by Swoops.
It was more than poor! It was what she meant to say! She is just another HATER to put it mildly! Just like all the networks!! 99% black commentators! DEI/WOKENESS!!!!!
❤ your point but it’s a major understatement! I live in Iowa and have watched what Caitlin Clark has done for Iowa and basketball first hand!!!!
Swoops should be “about what Caitlin will do FOR the WNBA and Basketball as a whole” which will fill the seats & and add excitement for the young girls coming up and wanting to play the sport! Just like what Swoops did for basketball when she was Caitlin’s age! Being gay or straight shouldn’t have a damn thing to do with it!
Swoops and the women playing if this story is true, are being selfish and shortsighted!
Its not that deep at all. Swoopes was clealry misinformed on Clark's stats. Thats it. Don't go out of the way to make a hate on Clark narrative
It's not that deep but the woman in the wmba are toxic
No she wasn't!!!! She knows she can say whatever she wants or feels or hates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Annnnd here we've got another one who believes that Blacks should not own or bear any responsibility when they engage in racist and hateful rhetoric. Swoopes was well aware of what she was saying. She just knew that being of a particular "Demographic," that the media would treat anything she said as gospel.
Clark is the best at her position, point guard, that's it.
Top headline should read "Most Hyped Basketball Player" rather than "Best Basketball Player."
Caitlin clark is still the best women player in the world and the Best College Basketball Player today
best women's* college player today
NO . The Best College Basketball Player @@triathlontimmy
Forget all that Goat BS.and records. Caitlin gotta get chips to be considered as the Goat.
Great video dude!
This video is very informative and not to be taken lightly. Not too long ago there was another phenom coming into the WNBA by the name of Candace Parker who was straight and the league tried its best to shield and take care of. She even got married to an NBA player and had a baby. However, the forces of the WNBA eventually got to Candace as she got divorced and remarried a woman and had another baby. Don't underestimate the evil spirit that grips that league. Praying for Caitlin...
As a talented white woman, Caitlin will be fine. Trust and believe!!!!
Think. Caitlin played in more games total. Also, she had one or two years of growth and experience on her competition in the last two to three seasons. So yes, her college record is tainted. EDIT -should say comparable, not tainted.
Let's just wait and see what she does in the WNBA.
Not accurate.
“Her college record is tainted.” Really? How?
@RichardIILionheart used the wrong word. I am trying to say it's not comparable. I think she's very good, but it's no use arguing about all this and having this controversy around her until she gets to the WNBA. My comment on comparing her competitors may also be off if the added eligibility equally affected all competitors. The scoring record is not comparable, though. It's not a male vs. female thing, it's just how many more games she played. It might narrow the gap if points/ minute played were looked at.
Swoops is jealous, and what she said is racist. shame.
It will be interesting to see whether her new teammates will accept her for who she is or turn their backs when players from other teams get overly physical.
There's widespread sexual abuse that happens in the black community that helps women into the arms of other women later in life. That's why it's so common in the WNBA.
Concerning the comments of multiple female talking heads on Caitlin Clark, remember the sage words of Al Bundy.
"Don't try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other."
Not being a member of the "community" will be a huge problem. Another great player retired way early because she wasn't either.
If that is true, it will be a terrible shame. Caitlin is an extraordinary player and deserves to be on the court and welcomed into the WNBA. Any gay player who holds the fact that she is "straight" or religious against her is a fool. (And I'm lesbian and atheist.) Just everybody shut up and play ball! You have the attention of millions of new fans. Make something good of that!
This is like taking MJ out of the 1990's NBA ........ they deserve to fail ........ get those applications for Target ready ........ Caitlin? Please go to Europe
She is really going to be discriminated against because she's Catholic and straight? How sad! Why? Are people that shallow? I will be watching this situation.
I believe she won’t have a very tough time in the wnba. The league seems to have realised that she’s the only player who can consistently bring in fans and TV ratings. At a time when the wnba is looking at expansion they’d have to be off the rocker to hinder her. If she’s bullied/harassed and either talks about it or quits , the league may not recover for a while. There have been allegations recently which have been denied as expected but there must be a spotlight on it. Outside of the west coast and north east arenas are not filling up. Middle America is where the big growth will come from and it is not quite as liberal as the aforementioned regions. Who better to have as poster child for the league than CC22. She’s an exciting player like none other, cherishes her family, has a boyfriend in Indiana. A major reason iowa is popular is that those women are perfect role models for middle America. Cultural acceptance of progressive ideas can’t be rammed down the throats of audiences who are expected to pay up.
Same thing the black players said about Larry, its okay....😂
Caitlin is a genius, and she will prove herself sooner or later no matter the prejudice and envy of other 'women' in the league.
Women’s basketball is far from my expertise, but, looks like Caitlin Clark tends to thrive on such intimidation.
Similar thing happened to Pete Maravich. There was a lot of resentment for that first million dollar contract and the accompanying national attention ( unheard of them) straight out of college even though it actually opened the door for all athletes to start demanding million dollar contracts, too.
The moment Caitlin leaves the WNBA it will go back to what it was before which is nothing and no viewers.
Caitlin is 22 not 25
Caitlin is bringing so much press and fans to womens basketball they should be grateful and shut up
Where are we when being heterosexual is considered weird?
I love Caitlin Clark
Stop trashing the WNBA there are no bigots and there are no straightophobics.
Wow . If thats true about wnba then if the avg viewers are the same then Caitlin Collins will have to make an insane debut and show her org "something " special to even be given the chance.
With the viewership of WNBA being hilariously low, if Caitlin can bring in just 5% increase initially ill make the prediction she'll be given a "pass" on her seemingly rare livelihood.
I really hope she improves and plays big in the pros like she did in college . Cause im still shocked the WNBA still exists. They desperately need a outsider superstar to grow the fanbase.
Noted in the video as "98%", the stifling heaviness of the WNBA's lesbian atmosphere has already caused a number of highly recruited, heterosexual, star players to simply hang up their sneakers and walk away.
Add to that the jealousy which predominantly black lesbian players have for a heterosexual white girl who is already being called "the greatest woman basketball player of all time" -- it's a recipe for disaster. You can't score 30-40 points a game _anywhere_ when no one passes you the ball. CC is a physically strong athlete. But she can't stay on the floor constantly battered, tripped and slammed by so many, much larger players.
Caitlin _is_ that "once-in-a-generation" talent. And she's probably worked harder at it, and for longer, than any of her peers. I LOVE watching her play. But, with great regret, I'm still compelled to predict that CC won't stay in the WNBA for more than a year or two, if that. She's too smart, and too talented in so many other ways to put up with an extremely toxic atmosphere smothering her joy.
The commentary of the championship game of the women’s was terrible, would hate to know I paid for a commercial in that game.
How many National Championships has Caitlin won? 🧐 People can’t comprehend Black People because we know that yo be the BEST you have to BEAT the BEST by WINNING. 😋🏀
Who cares? How many championships did Larry Bird win? Yet he is the clutchest player of all time. He and Magic saved the NBA. The national championship in college means nothing and her sponsors know this. She is the best there is or ever has been in Womens hoops.
@@leonc100🤣🤣🤣
@@leonc100LOL
The hate for Catlin is crazy. Her statements aren't even remotely accurate about Catlin and the number of games Catlin has played. Let's stop the take and just settle it on the court.
One thing that everyone seems to be missing is viewership. The '70s was not a good time for the NBA on television. Reports of drug use by a lot of the league stars turned more eyes to the college game. NBA games were televised, but not live. They were tape delayed. Then 2 guys game into the league and transformed the way the game is played and how the games were broadcasted. The limited viewership of the NBA in the 70's seems to parallel the viewership problem with the WNBA. Most American's don't care about someone else's sexual preferences, unless they are constantly hammered about the struggles of being lesbian/gay/trans. A vast majority of American's face hardships daily and continue on without much complaining. Caitlin being straight should not be made a big deal either. Each league had an issue that seemed to impact the ability to gain viewership. She has the opportunity to bring a ton of eyeballs to a league needful of the attention and the money that will bring. Add Angel Reese, JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers arrival into the WNBA one can see an excellent transformation at hand. The current WNBA players need to worry less about politics and enjoy the attention these players will be bringing into the league. More attention will increase pay, viewership, and endorsement opportunities for league events. Hating on players coming into the league over issues that have nothing to do with their talent, will only hasten the death of that league.
I think it will be fun to watch plum and Clark and turasi and Clark and I think Clark and Ionescu could end up being rivals….
To call her the best player in the league already is laughable.
WNBA needs a nice girl up there. Good for her I hope she shows them what really matters and is not your skin color or who you have sex with. So sick of all this nonsense.
I can fully understand the females desire to be viewed as equals but chest bumping (ouch) just shouldn’t be part of the equation, leave that to the guys.
i suspect the striaght vs LGBTQ environment varies from team to team. The Seattle Storm certainly did alright the Lauren Jackson (married with two kids) and Sue Bird (partenered with Megan Rapino), who by all accounts got on well with each other.
They see everything in color and can not face the fact that she is not black. It is a shame that a player that may uplift viewership gets knocked before she has walked to an W game.
Are you saying the being white is a problem?? This can't be serious
So tired of the racism….there needs to be a non lgbtq league
Crazy!!!
There’s to many lesbians in the wnba for them to get large make fan base. They’ve been scratching their heads over 20 years now wondering why. Guys need a girl to have a crush on to really follow it. WNBA needs more straight players
She is wrong CC is not taking her COVID yr. She is going to WNBA instead.
Caitlin is NOT the best player she’s only the most popular player!
I’m gonna start watching because she makes women’s basketball exciting. And I’m a black man.
Let’s remember that many players in the NBA said the same thing about Larry Bird. Queue up the Isaiah Thomas tape…
1:34 Sounds like they aren't very open-minded. I thought they wanted other people to be open-minded towards them.
It has always been a one-way street for acceptance of leftist ideas. We must accept them. They do not have to accept us. In fact, it is A-OK for them to hate us.
Didn't they say the same racist stuff about Larry Bird when he entered the NBA?
They both attended Catholic high School. Are you sure you want this? LSU is the South. It was a slave state. Slava needs to stop.
Caitlin’s mechanics are like Steph Curry’s jump shot.
Look at WNBA attendance figures relative to U.S. population increase. It went from nearly 11,000 per game at the peak, down to around 7,000. Kaitlin has two things lacking in the WNBA, discipline and conditioning. Some of the taller girls could learn to do flying dunks if they lost weight, hit the weight room, and developed their vertical leap. They instead opt for a comfortable if somewhat plodding team game. Nothing wrong with it, just brings in fewer fans.
Candace Wiggins was awesome. I wish she was still in the WNBA. we are accepting Lesbian players but not straight players. Talk about Reverse discrimination.
So its not a race thing. Its a sexuality thing
Good luck Caitlin!! Keep your values out front…. All us “normal folks” will continue to support you. you’re a role model for young athletes, male an female!!
Who are the "normal folks" you refer to?
So reverse discrimination is really a thing?
Swoopes needs to check her facts!!
It's a racist situation. Don't beat around bush..record are there to be broken. Not a thing wrong with that. You played very well, know it Clark's time.
Angel Reese is EASILY the best woman basketball player in history.
Lmao
