Clark is a huge advocate for kids getting involved in sports. She started a non profit organization for under privileged children. She always makes time to sign their jerseys, basketballs and home made signs. She is sweet with them. She does this with a big ole open Heart. Love her!
I love that so many fans are kids. This is the big reason I feel the WNBA needs to improve their officiating & crack down on the overly aggressive play. Its troubling that existing WNBA fans dismiss rookie hazing & the high level of aggressive play as normal. Parents will not let their children continue to watch if the unsportsmanlike overly aggressive play style is allowed to continue unchecked. Parents want their kids to see the referees punishing unsportsmanlike behavior, not turning a blind eye to it. Like it or not, part of growing a sport & bringing in new fans is making the game more palatable to more consumers.
You used the word "nonsense" to describe so much of what we are hearing and seeing these days. So True! I used to check out more videos on this topic (WNBA/CC et al) but I've become very selective: I want, new, positive and relative information. You and a few others (i.e. Chicks Dig Scars and Adrienne Ross) here are providing that. Thank you!
More of this Please… A Positive Message from the WNBA and CC#22 giving up her time to spend time with the Kids. Something that’s very important to her. I still remember when CC#22 was late to After Game Questions because she was signing Autographs… She actually got ripped from her own Teammates… Take a step back, Play Ball 🏀 and remember Kids are Watching…
Caitlin loves the kids! She just wants to play the game she loves and make a positive impact in the kids lives. The joy on her face makes my heart happy.
Great video, I love the positive shift. All the talk of CC getting beat up, denied, racism, Alphabet Soup stuff is going a bit overboard. Not by you, but other UA-camrs that are milking the negativity. CC will be fine and God willing has a great WNBA career ahead of her.
She takes the time with fans`. She isn't a prima donna. It makes her relatable and more appreciated by fans. It is also what makes her marketable to corporations. I am sure we will see her on a Wheaties box.
This is why the people like her. She not an ungrateful, narcissistic malcontent like the rest of the U14 league she’s plays in. I’m glad CC is not playing for team USA. I don’t to waste my time watching that garbage.
Those numbers comparing the WNBA and NBA reminded me of 6-6 IA high school basketball back in the day. We were actually more popular than the boys' game in IA.
Bri is a sports photographer and has covered tons of Clark and other athletes. A reporter asked CC about Bri in a media time interview recently and she gushed about Bri’s photography and coverage. Bri was so excited about getting mentioned like that. 😆
@@donaldcummings8407 Her steals are off ball not on ball. She’s been pretty good at stepping into passing lanes . She’s been getting stripped once or twice a game and I’ve only seen her get one or two on ball steals all season. To be fair in a few games they’ve been so far behind by halftime that i’ve had to turn it off. Otherwise I’ve watched every single game.
@@ronsmac Meh,semantics..You singling her out for bad defense when her teammates dont play any either, is disingenuous.Many basketball greats dont play particularly great defense but they do pick their spots.She leads her team in points per game, assists, and steals(whether it's "off ball" or not).Quite frankly, she had better teammates in college than she does now..
Seems to me that Caitlin wants to make the kids experiences similar to hers when she was younger. Her role models were very much the same as she is today, great with fans and focused on her game and getting better. Unlike the typical W player who is more likely on social media with adult themes, sports broadcast media and the constant banter about social justice or social identity or some ill in society that may not really exist or matter. Clark is genuine, most of the others (particularly those who can’t stop criticizing) are not.
You're right that the kids won't really be listening to/aware of the debate that's going on about toxic off-court activities - but they will have seen Chuh-neddy Carter sneak up behind Caitlin and body slam here while the ball was not even on the court; and they will have seen the Sun player the other night go clattering into CC22 and knock her off her footing and then execute 3 very nasty head flips pretending that CC22 was exaggerating what had happened (while if you could edit her out of the footage, you see that Clark hardly moves at all, because she's focussed on continuing withy whatever she was trying to do before the foul.
"Good" is what everything and everyone should be about. Unfortunately, violence, hatred, jealousy, racism, et al., can make anything "good' into "bad". Fortunately, to be a bottom feeder is a choice.
The difference between CC and AR off the court is consistency. Was great to see, more of this from AR might finally grow up, yep, I said it, might 🔥 a few, but where is the lie? JP
@@ebl8037 No one knows, fair enough, what is your confirmation bias, take etc., btw, we should all go away, stay away from social media, the world would be a better place. Everyone projects, and speculates and at times AR SPEWS A BUNCH OF RIDICULOUS NONSENSE, AND LIES. Now to be fair, CC who is much more media savvy, and runs the Kobe, MJ playbook, OBVIOUSLY feels differently than what she feeds the press, so therefore by definition, SHE LIES BY OMISSION. I don’t know what you know, you dont’t know what I know. We don’t know what any known person, famous person thinks or feels about anything, OTHER THAN USING OUR OWN INTUITION AND LOGIC BASED ON WHAT THEY SAY IN THE PRESS, get it? got it. good….. bye. JP
Why would CC want to be on an olympic team with those players? Its good she got snubbed. In 4 years all those players are gonna be gone and shell be with a younger group of players that arent black lesbian activist.
The "woke a monster" comment was not about herself, it was about her fan base... the monster did wake and it was the fan base that complained as evident. Just wanted to get that in there.
Why you redefining what she said? Isn't it disrespectful to her to make her words what YOU want them to be? She has time to become the monster she spoke of it's a common basketball reference used when someone starts balling out of control.
I think the monster she woke was Carrington of The Suns! 🤣 I can’t wait for CC to deliver payback, but The Fever need to get better and CC needs to continue to work on her game. She will.
@@ebl8037 aren't you being hypocritical? You have know idea what she meant either, unless you can read minds, seems as though you are filling in the blanks as well
That was cruel, lol. She was just trying to build confidence. ☑️👌🤣🤣🤣 But……. Ride that 🚂 Robin, passé news is still good news. Forecast today, 100% chance of CC, and mostly clouty, and if they start moving west, go chase that clout storm wherever it goes, and milk it for all it is worth. 💨 ⛹️♀️❤️🎯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ JP

Love these kinds of interactions. CC is gonna be such a fantastic ambassador for the W
I like that Caitlin Clark is taking the high road and just focusing on basketball.
I've watched this five times and I cracked up every time😂😂😂
cc is always giving back to her fans. love those smiles from the kids
Later in the video, that same kid said “this is the best day ever” because of Caitlin.
He’ll always remember that shot getting blocked by CC. ❤️
Good reminder that there IS joy in this sport stuff. The temptation to argue/attack/belittle all the time is a dark joysuck.

That is cool CC really does care about the kids.She just don't talk about it, she is involved in it.just got to love that.👍😀

Clark seems to use her time well . . . Of course, her avoiding social media helps her use of time . . . as it would/does for everyone.
I'm like, I looked up players and watched Women's sports! It's huge! I love the Positive!
Those kiddos need to learn in life you will be disappointed and I’m glad Clark was there to teach them that lesson 😂
As a super fan I feel as though I should get inside scoops on the next hot video Sir. Also tell AJ I hope the family doing well

Little kid challenges Caitlin.
“That’s all I needed.”
You have been super careful about what up say. Good grief your still get the overall feeling wrong
That age when she dreamt about being an Olympian. It was now a BROKEN DREAM!
She’s treating that little kid the way that Carrington treated her in that Connecticut game, lol.
she going to be a great mom someday!❤
I bet she'll be a great mom if she ever becomes one.
That was by far the best on ball defense she’s played this season.
She leads her team in steals..I guess they dont count, eh??

She plays defense on kids only
BooYaaaa
It reminds me of when and what she used to do in Iowa.
