Not one person is watching the WNBA because they think Caitlin Clark is hot ☠️
i am😏
@@4dn48😮
Swear. Like. Dafuvk. She ain’t even trying to be cute
Facts.
@4dn48 🧢
I swear to god, basketball fans and former players show more disrespect to future talent than any other sport on the planet
The majority is just against white players
Naw that’s would be baseball
As a soccer fan I can't get it lol
@@Mokuteke what is baseball?
Yup its crazy in these basketball streets 😂
Clark is an average looking person (not an insult most people are). The haters are just grasping at straws at this point.
Shes got nothing on the rookie on the la sparks.
@@ubadman1he literally just said she's average and you say that. How about their game? Exactly
He looks like Mel Gibson wit no breast
She's low key below average
@@alexandermendez4653looks are subjective lil bro 💀💀. Just like most things in life.
“look at that straight white women bringing the ball up the court”😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
😂😂😂
Why did I read this in Uncle Ruckus voice?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Dont believe me come and see me
I got the oka chobie so floaty homie
When i come thru with the brew like im 32 but im 31 but i got the funds of a honey bun, they know me homie so flow me dont believe me come and see me
She is a threat to the LGTBQ
Yo I laughed for real
Generational talent comes into WNBA, increases viewership and interest: Women attack her; whose fault is it?..... Men😂😂
nailed it.
Shits insane they don't wanna succeed because they realized they're not talented
Lol right??
Let’s see how she fairs. No woman is attacking her. They treat her like a competitor.
@@brooklynmedina7676 What does her appearance have to do with being a competitor? Did u even watch the video?
For years wnba players talked so much about wanting to grow the game and get paid more and now someone comes into the league that can do that and they shit all over her
Chronic, Toxic, Female Logic.....
It’s because she’s white, let’s keep it real
Bill Burr stand corrected once again
But they aren't shitting on her.
@@alexlewis5068what do you call what's going on?
No disrespect to Caitlin, she’s a nice looking girl but I have literally not heard a single person say “OMG Caitlin is so damn fine, definitely gonna be checking out here games 😍😍” 😂
No one thinks you’re fine
You think she’s a nice looking girl? Seriously?
@@kdr5d She's a decent-looking athletic girl in good shape. She's not ugly, but she's no beauty queen, but she *does* 'look fine' on the court, in a playing sense. Really, she's just about right, in that her appearance doesn't particularly swing her either way, so her playing can speak for her.
@@mavfin8720 so she doesn’t look exactly like her dad?
@@kdr5dYes. I do. Girl next door. To each their own.
Caitlin Clark should quit the WNBA and take the 5 million Ice Cube offered and play in the Big3.
She wouldn’t make it playing against men bruh. Let’s not get it twisted she’s good for a girl but competing against men is a completely different animal.
@@kirbyaugustine761 I didn't say she would be good against men. She should take the 5 MILLION plus the endorsement money. She doesn't have to put up with the hate and make less money.
She could but I think in the long run she will be just fine.
No she shouldn't go to the big 3 because he would make more money off of her being there for example he would make 100 million and pay her 5 million if that look what he paid everybody who was in those Friday movies
@@kevinjones2858 what difference does it make how much money he makes? He owns the league so he should make as much as possible.
Bro if you think Caitlyn don’t belong in the league yall just don’t got jobs and just pocket watching
The View is complete 🗑️.
Too pretty?😎 I think there's a lot of jealousy going on🤣🤣
😭💯
For real if it was just a looks thing people would be gravitating towards Cameron Brink and Angel more than CC
@@HoodedAlchemy exactly but I ain't hearing much about them.
Cameron brink was right there on draft night with her and they decided to call CC too pretty
Who's jealous? The fans are saying that and it's just not true. Them ladies are not gonna hand CC the win..
Women are so jealous with one another its INSANE
Jealous Ones Envy.
maybe there really is no jealousy. Maybe the fans are pitting Clark against the other players unfairly and it is causing way more friction than should exist. I don't believe the other players are jealous or hateful towards Clark- a lot of male fans are instigating beef between Caitlyn and the other women.
Spot on. Although Caitlin is going to be making millions of dollars, I feel sorry for her. She spent years working to get to the WNBA, and she has to deal with this hot mess. 🙄
Sad but true and the funny part is most of her money is from sources outside of playing Basketball.
Boo fucking Hoo. it's sports and shes one her way to be a millionaire. So what if people don't like her. is she still playing? did she die? Nope still playing and you guys just need a reason to hate on black folks because they don't like your great white hope pt. 2. If her name was Cici clark and she and brown skin and all the same stats none of you would b commenting
She's a woman that has been around other women. She should have expected this honestly. Women are literally evil to each other. So much worse than any man could be
When i tuned in to watch Catlin Clark the first time i didnt know she was white. I was just given women basketball a chance, she thrilled me. Her and Angle and a few others pulled me in
I like their playing styles and passion for the game of Basketball.
I like her playing style, attitude, and leadership on the court.
CC is having a ripple effect for increased viewers. Good for her, hope the WNBA doesn't eff up a golden egg
They will.
They already started....hope the drama stops!
She won't be a golden egg until she starts making points. Right now A. Reese is second in the WNBA as far as scoring. Caitlin Clark is first in the league for turn overs. Just because she's attracting a crowd don't mean she's a good player. How long do you think it's going to take for people to start getting tired of coming to see a losing team. Her college days are history
@lisajefferson8840 angel Reese 12.4 ppg (33rd in league). Thats a flat lie. Chennedy12.6 ppg and CC 16.3 (15th in league) average more
Saying that people really have a issue with women basketball players that are lesbians and that's why they were not getting popular is hilarious 😂😂😂
Right? If that were true, you'd expect lesbian "adult entertainment" to be a small niche thing. Which of course it is not.
I don’t follow women’s hoops but before they pointed it out I hadn’t even assumed Caitlin was straight lol. If she identified as gay or straight I wouldn’t have been shocked at either one lmao.
it is true though and even this podcaster even took note of Caitlyn being heterosexual.
@@yakzivz1104 wnba players being Lesbian has nothing to do with whether people watch them or not. It's because the wnba was not entertaining until Caitlin clark came.
But it's not entirely wrong. Representation matters right? Most of the country isn't black, but the wnba is. Most of the country isn't alphabet, but a good portion of the wnba is. In today's political climate being straight is OK even though the rainbows would say it's not. There's nothing wrong with people liking her for that dimension because they identify with her. Before clark was on the scene the story was how dumb the wnba was for asking for more money even though it's never made money. The players aren't feminine overall, and femininity sells. While clark isn't a model shes cute, fit and straight. So are the other main rookies that are getting shine reese and brink. And brink may actually be able to model. Those chicks being straight is a factor and it's okay for people to like that. It's not just the alphabets but it's the inferior product by the alphabets. An inferior product is easier to take when it's done by attractive people.
One word. Jealousy.
Dont believe me come and see me
I got the oka chobie so floaty homie
When i come thru with the brew like im 32 but im 31 but i got the funds of a honey bun, they know me homie so flow me dont believe me come and see me
Meaning: the state or feeling of being jealous. Types: Reactive; Suspicious; or Delusional. Maybe Jealous: feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages.
Never thought I would watch “The View” on a basketball UA-cam page 😂😂😂
Did you like it?
EVERYTHING is about race these days and it’s getting really old. Hell, it’s been old for a while now.
How old?
I really dont get how her popularity is just attributed to her race and sexuality even though she isnt the only straight white woman in the wnba. Kelsey Plum and Sabrina Ionescue are both the same race and have the same sexual preference but nowhere near the popularity that Caitlin Clark draws, so theres gotta be more to her than that. Honestly, we need to look at the people who make these claims like Jemele Hill, because this constant race baiting is getting annoying and has always been unnecessary, and the people who make these claims need to be called out for the racists they are
Plum and Ionescu came from Washington and Oregon, respectively, two schools that didn't make much of a splash in the tournament during their careers. If it wasn't UConn or a team in the SEC or Big Ten, you almost never heard of certain female players.
@@GDExodus Ionescu had some hype she was just never as popular. I remember people saying she was gonna save the wnba on espn
The white part is true to a degree, the straight part is a reach.
@@DJJE928its just a redundant argument in this way. “Oh she walks like, talks like, looks like, acts like 70 percent of the country she works in as an entertainer , of course she’s popular UGH” like its some hot take or transcending idea that people gravitate to successful people that mirrors them lmao.
@@CelabWilliams-gb6rm marketability is the name of the game in entertainment. The more people see themselves in you, the more popular you will be. What is unfortunate about it is sometimes there are people that are just as good or better than you that don’t get the same opportunities. This is a real thing that has happened to black people for decades. Both things can be true, she absolutely deserves the recognition she’s getting because she’s a really good ball player and it also comes from the fact that her being a middle America white woman increases her visibility 100 fold.
Imagine being straight and you get criticized for having a preference lol. The pettiness is disturbing. Who cares what race or who they prefer to date? Why can’t we celebrate how great this draft class is? Like this draft class has the potential to completely change the history and trajectory of the WNBA.
Clark is the one that helped with this change and brought out what a lot of people enjoyed about the NBA, to the women’s game. I agree that her being white has a lot to do with view-ship, but her talent also has a lot to do with it too.
I actually downloaded the WNBA app because of this draft class. I got interested in the WNBA because of these players, white, black etc.
Also like Low said, Clark is a walking bucket and her game is fun to watch. Seeing a lot of these women play ball is something because since most can’t dunk, they develop a lot of other skills that I appreciate. Clark just brought out and had me realize and appreciate how talented these women are. I knew they were talented, but Clark and this draft class gives a new perspective for people that may have underestimated them in the past.
It's crazy how people like sunny hostile hostin make a point out sexuality and if we actually was disinterested and turned off by it being lesbians in the wnba they would have an uproar. But it's ok for them to point out someone being straight and that's why people watching and it's unfair but she can't see how disrespectful distasteful and disingenuous that is as it's almost the same thing they cry about people do towards the lgbtq community smh. I hate people like her that stands for a group or whatever she isn't even apart of but acts as though she is being oppressed or dehumanizied when she isn't smh.
I concur.
I used to be a Caitlyn Clark hater because I thought she was overrated and her game wouldn't translate. After seeing all this hate I cannot deny it, only great players are scrutinized this much. Talking about her race,sexuality and attractiveness is nasty. If that's all she was then she would be a model not a wnba player. I am officlaiy a fan
Clark at the very least can score and has fundamentals. I can't hate her because the wnba has no talent whatsoever.
It's ironic that the gate campaign against her is only creating more fans and supporters interested in seeing what she'll do next.
Caitlyn Clark is a Top Tier player and people are mad about that.
@@MrREAPERsz lmfaoooo disgruntled saltine talking points makes no sense you are dumbb
I have to say, I think she'd make a kick-ass model. but I'm a fan because of her passing. SO effing precise! the 3-points are impressive, but her passes pull the whole team together. she's what a point guard should be.
Some people really think people weren't watching the WNBA because of the black and/or gay players? Caitlin plays like Steph. That's why people are watching. Has nothing to do with her race or looks.
Thank you she can shoot fr that's why we're interested not white or straight she gets the buckets like steph
Exactly 💪🏾💪🏾
Imagine thinking your sexuality or race dictated how people perceieved how good your sport was 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely crazy why these other players arent mad at their own fans for not bringing it is wild
I'd rather watch the local high school BB game. Those boys are future college hoops stars being made and a LOT more talented.... JS
She isn’t pretty like that. There are way more prettier wnba players then cc. It’s her talent that separates her. She balls out!
No catlain no wnba talking. As coach dawn Staley said Cclark is the sole reason of the rise woman's basketball.
She never said "sole reason" but yeah
Yes indeed this is so true.
How?? She’s not even top 20 best players in the league?? Social media making her popular
@@nappychef891 the fans are making her popular on top of her being a top 10 best player as a rookie.
@@nappychef891 who she's a rookie she will be a rookie of the year. No question about it.. As of now she's in top 15. Research bruh.
Critizing for looking good and straight..what a time to be alive
to be fair, they're not critizing her. They're critizising the viewer because they think they only watch her because she's good looking and straight.
We all know that we're not tuning in to see caitlin if we want to see a good looking straight wnba player though. lol
@leefswgoh7558 most WNBA players don't even "look good" on the court because they're too busy running around and getting sweaty, basketball isn't a great sport for looking cute so it makes even less sense thinking about it
@@leefswgoh7558 Still, it’s an admission by critics that straight white is the exception in the WNBA … not that there’s anything wrong or shocking about that … but they seem a bit defensive.
Kyrie is going to name his autobiography “My Struggle “
😂😂😂😂
😂, it took me awhile but gott damn that's wild
This has been some of the weirdest discourse. She’s sold out arenas, got 55k people in Iowas football stadium, and broke viewership records. She also has a huge fan base. No she’s not the only bright spot with women like Brink and Reese and they deserve their flowers too. But to say it’s because of her sexuality and looks is actually crazy and I don’t know how someone could take that seriously. Who even judges a basketball player by those metrics?
wnba players... :|
She is a fan favorite and brings in the crowd. Got to love the attention she is bring to the WNBA.
not sure anyone does. seems like the haters (on both sides) are just assuming that OTHER people do. "she's only popular because of her race and sexual orientation!" or "the 'woke mob' hate her because she's white and straight!" equally BS.
If the WNBA existed when Cheryl Miller was in her prime it would be different now she was an exciting player.
Facts. She was like a female MJ and Shaq put together.
@@KenpoKid77 I’d say more MJ and College Pistol Pete.
She was the female WILT
Yup but see that’s the thing all these new fans don’t even know her or how good she is. They don’t even know Diana and sue bird and how actually great they played and is better and more exciting than what they see from Caitlin. But these new fans ain’t giving that a chance because they only here for one person
@@flockaveli15 I agree with everything in your post except the exciting part. Although those players were all great I never found them to be exciting. CC brings a skillset no one has ever seen in women's ball. That's what makes her exciting. And she just has the IT factor. People loved Dr J. Was he the best? No but he was 1 of the most exciting players of all time. When my Dad took me to Sixers games as a kid I would get the chills when they announced his name. There was no one like The Doctor. Better players? Heck yeah. More exciting? Not to me.
When they say pretty I’m like what?!! I don’t want to talk bad about Clark 😅
i thought resse is better looking
But?
@gunnernathan7023 duhhh ngga I know I'm ugly but I'm not dumb and delusional to think I'm not
@@az21bob666 angel Reese is also 6 3 she not looking at most dudes
She is pretty. Take off the shades.
I started watching NBA because Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan. i just started watching WNBA because of Caitlyn Clark.
Jerry West? How old are you?
@@theblackmamba323bro gotta be 80 or 70
@@kNaildlmfaoooo
Yes. So true
I don’t thinking ever use Caitlyn and sexy in the same sentence
She cleans up right well, and, respectfully, has really nice calves, from all of that running, when the bruises from the beating she gets, on the court, are not showing.
Just try it and see the good and warm feeling it brings to your mind. Stop hating on that sexy lady.
It’s crazy cause NBA 2K12 actually put me on historical players and made me a NBA nerd. I started reading all the books, watching all the documentaries and yea a lot of people my age (26) don’t know ANYTHING about nba history. Meanwhile Ik ALOT
💀
Basketball is not a community anymore. Its just full of chaos
Especially on Twitter/X… lord have mercy talk about a toxic warzone. A bunch of stupid fans pushing out tweets with no context. Everything is for views and click bait. I hate that app, I haven’t been on it for over 8 years.
The wnba was never a community
The best marketing movement the NBA ever did was to push MJ and protecting him by changing the rules in order for him to dominate, yes the league had Bird and Magic but Michael took it to another level.
Caitlin can straight up ball out her shooting prowess and overall game is what got people to hype up WNBA she is the face of a new era for women basketball, why hate on something that's going to benifict everyone in the future in exposure and money wise?
She is white that's why.. Being racist towards white people is perfectly acceptable in today's America
So u telling me the should soft the rules for her EVEN MORE???? Do u know how messed up you sound mj was putting 30 ppg every single year before the rules changed and it was quite evident why they did it (some teams weren't even playing defense anymore) the only problem i see with cc is she is gettin guarded at full press which is logic since she can get hot at any moment
Umm, no. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson complained about rules, Pistons behavior, hard fouls way before MJ did. MJ never brought it up unless explicitly asked
Jordan's first 3-4 seasons, 1984-1988 were statistically his highest performing seasons in history. Playoffs and season wise.
Any rule changes (specifically flagrant foul) did not help Jordan. Bulls won with Jordan having a LOW scoring NBA playoffs in 1991. All throughout the 1990s, Jordan's overall scoring performance and efficiency dropped compared to his 1980s numbers.
Rule changes did not "help" Jordan. Pippen improving significantly helped. Jordan's 1986/1987/1988 performance was never recreated. That was Jordan's best individual performance
There is no "marketing" that changes how in 1987 and 1988, Jordan lead the NBA in steals and points by such a gross absurd margin that comparing Jordan to any other player at the time was laughable.
There is nothing to "protect". The 1990s (rule changes) fid not help Jordan. He scored less, but he had teammates capable of scoring above ten points/game.
As someone who had been watching the WNBA since I was 3 years old in 2007, the hate, racism and other things is getting really really annoying
Couldn't agree more and to think back on when they had BLM all over the court and jerseys absolutely disgusting honestly
@@daintydiagnostics7238 Like at this point, I don't know what these women want. Like what do they want the fans to do. We tried everything and yet they still complain. I just wonder does these woman sit back and think for once on why some people doesn't take the WNBA seriously because they always say that they wanna be paid more, they wanna be recognized more, they wanna be shown more support but at the same time, they don't seem to understand that they are the ones that's hurting their own league because of their jealousy and being selfish most of the damn time
When they mentioned her looks.. that she had Pretty Privilege, I just rolled my eyes. The lady is a 5 at best.
5 is way too generous. She's a solid 2.5, but she can shoot the lights out so it doesn't matter
@@toxicmelody6228 there are some really disgusting people out there..
She is a 7 😊
When I first saw her my first thought was “that’s a dude” but maybe it was a bad picture. In any case she isn’t much to look at and I like her.
I'm thinkin' the OC and all the other raters are about a 1. Jfc why don't y'all grow up
The only reason WNBA is getting so much recognition rn is BECAUSE of Clark😭
It's moreso the rivalry between Clark and Angel that really bubbles up the controversy and subsequently the engagement , let's be fair
@@justthedon1792who is Reese never heard of her before the start of all this Clark bullcrap.

You know what’s crazy I can’t recall one thing Caitlin Clark has said but I’m always seeing quotes from other WNBA players talking about her, and I still be watching her highlights
Why can't it just be her game?
Man they sully the sport by saying shit like this
The sarcasm at “The View, man love me some of The View” quote at 5:58 is killing me 🤣 🤣
Filipino people love the nba despite there never being a full blown Filipino person in the league. They only have Jordan Clarkson and Jalen Green and Jalen won’t even play for their national team. She’s really talented and her game translates for causal viewers its that simple
Can't be serious. She literally looks like rick owens 😂

Then why didn't they make these same accusations when Kelsey Plum first joined the WNBA?
Or Rebecca Lobo...or Sabrina Ionescu? Low is preaching the Gospel. They need to leave Caitlin Clark alone. She's talented and the haters can't stand it.
They did. Plum is more of a mixed dude chick though. Clark is a girl girl and does white girl stuff
Kelsey plum was very bad when she first came to the league
@@Panicjac Plum thnks she s black
@@PanicjacClark isn't really that girlie, even looks wise slightly masculine. Cameron and Angel act way more girlie/ bubbly off the court.
The jealousy is crazy haha😂 you would think woman would support each other instead of tear each other down
WNBA players acted like they were civil rights leaders fighting to improve things for all women but now the truth is revealed. None of them care about the OTHER players in the WNBA or women in general, they only care about themselves. Caitlin Clarke getting endorsements and stuff is a giant step in the direction they all claimed they wanted to go so why aren't they happy? Because she's getting the attention and money instead of them. I guarantee every woman who has complained would be fine with it if they were in her place. People who ACTUALLY care about others are ok with putting in the work for future generations to benefit from even if they never get to enjoy those benefits themselves
As an black American im embarrassed.
Angel Reese has a hand as well. The media is just not covering it. Angel Reese’s first game was not covered and someone live stream it with over 2 million views.
LOW THANK U😭 I’m driving home from work
Lmfaooo W
That boi back cooking
They need her and here why: Revenue, Marketing, and Branding.
We are talking about the wnba due to Caitlin clark being there thats how much impactful she is even though shes going through a rough patch but the fact that people are generally interested in the wnba due to Caitlin is crazy one person is able to have that influence on the sport
They just won't accept the fact that before Caitlin, very few people had any desire to watch women play basketball. Someone launching threes from 6 feet behind the line will do that...then there's her filthy passing. She's fun. Her teammates can't even handle her passes.
Only reason people are Caitlin Clark fans is because she lost to Angel Reese and the entire YT community wanted to coddle her
Brother there’s been women already doing it and better. That’s the problem. Y’all think she’s doing something never done before when she ain’t. And when she messes up yall just bone everyone except her. Like brother a lot of her passes ain’t all that clean to begin with and she gets pick pocketed and stopped defensively pretty much every game which is why yall see her team ain’t winning and she’s not playing good in those games either. Jackie young from the aces cooked her and they whole team but yall won’t acknowledge that but will acknowledge Caitlin and put up her stats but take all the context out that would show she didn’t have a good game
Bruh Caitlin Clark is not attractive 😂😂.
Bro, you’re weird
The WNBA DOESN'T need Clark or anyone else for that matter. As long as the NBA be pimpin', it be playin'.
In Caitlin, Angel and JuJu, the WNBA is getting their Magic, Bird and Jordan as far as moving the needle. Sad thing is, I'm still willing to bet the WNBA and sports media are going to cause them to fumble the attention and bag that those three will bring to the league.
Gambling. Gambling is why people are watching period 😂
Cameron Brink is very pretty and white and there is no smear campaign on her like Caitlin Clark, lmao
lol yea because yall don’t even sure her love for playing good. Don’t you think it’s weird to say you support women basketball and then only watch one player who’s losing. Don’t you think most people would think there’s something weird with that especially when other women even in her own class is playing better without the same hype
@@flockaveli15 It's called the IT factor and that's just the way it is. No one in today's women's game has the IT factor like CC. That's just a fact. If it wasn't true there would be no phenomenon going on.

Aside from the fact that nobody has a problem with jokic and luka, the reason people might have a little bit of shade with those 2 its because they are not americans besides Luka definitely gets warranted hate he cries, complains, flop, talks trash the most, yet big portion of the nba fanbase including me is fan of his game.

Clark ain’t FINE. She ok looking… what the what… People aren’t watching her because she’s a cute white girl. She can ball and the league needs attention.
We need to do better than this foolishness.
Bro, you’re weird
@@Tman23212 I’m addressing Jamele Hill’s comments. Her talk about this being a straight white woman as though people are watching because she is a pretty white girl is weird. She just has game..
Your assumption and therefore your comment is what is weird…
We look back and see that with bird and magic. No one said that 10 games into their first season they saved the nba.
if Paige didnt have her injuries, all the talk might have been about her instead of Clark. But I don't think she would get the same level of hate because she played at UConn.
don’t even entertain that “some MAY be watching bc she’s white and straight.” like no. no one is watching basketball for that i refuse to believe it.
Sure, she's a girl from Iowa, but there's lots of those. She's a girl from Iowa who can shoot the lights out like a female Steph Curry. That's why they watch her.
I am a big Caitlin fan, and the college basketball stardom absolutely started with her incredible play, but being white is a significant factor in the expansion of her fame since last year's final four. Iowa is 95% white so that was an organic fandom, but the arenas would not be selling out if Caitlin were just as cleancut but black. The Fever home game crowds look like Disney on Ice shows or Taylor Swift concerts.
If Bron didn’t exist the NBA wouldn’t be nearly as popular as it is today. These leagues need a face and these women are rejecting it out of jealousy. They know they’re better right now but they aren’t as marketable
Dude LeBron literally has made the league less popular are you fuckin joking rating have been down over the last 8 or so years because he don't know how to shut his fucking mouth about politics. You have no idea what you are talking about
Actually I agree with you that they are rejecting her cause they are jealous but also cause she's white they are racist while at the same time crying racism it's amazing watching these imbeciles
There would have been plenty of other guys to take that spot Kobe would have been the face he never really was because when he started to win as the star lebron was in the league already, kd probably wins the finals on the thunder as well which would made him the face after Kobe
@@MokutekeKobe was the face until the SA case then Lebron stepped in
@@Mokuteke none of them are LeBron James. Angel Reece and Cameron Brink could also be in Caitlyn’s position but neither of them are as marketable as her. LeBron is the news story every single day not KD or Kobe. It’s objective that the league would not be as popular without Bron being the face. There being an opportunity for another face doesn’t mean the league would be as successful. The WNBA has 3 decades of experience with that
Most people don't know who is even gay in the WNBA
Women really are so easy to be envious and insecure. The nba never has problems like this
Pretty hilarious. Cameron Brink is objectively pretty (prettier?) and yet no one mentions her being too pretty. Ridiculous.
She's beautiful. She could be a model. 🤷♀️
Men seem to not hate on up and coming players but woman seem to not want to see each other win
It's in their nature.
They're always like that. I never took feminism or female empowerment seriously. They can truly hate each other.
But still complain about not having opportunity it's so weird
The media should be blame for all the resentment Caitlin is receiving from WNBA. Here it is a adolescent person with exceptional talent being thrown into a league of grown women and lesbians and calling her the G.O.A.T. before she ever accomplished anything other than personal stats.
The Chicago Sky really be ballin
If Caitlin Clark's attractiveness and sexual preferences was the appeal then why would that not be the case with others? Why people not gravitating towards Cameron Brink? She's white She's straight shes pretty even more prettier than Caitlin, so why isnt she getting the same attention as Caitlin Clark that they're crying about? No they ignore the talent and skills and male it about everything else its not. If it was about what they saying it is then why haven't this attention been on the wnba before cause we not gonna lie and act like there wasn't straight white attractive females in basketball before now. Most just either sucked or was boring to watch before now thats why nobody cared about the wnba but leave it to superheroes of political social justice league to make it about race and orientation and all that bs. 😕
I’m a black woman & I’ve never watch Tiger Woods play golf or Serena Williams play tennis because I don’t like golf or tennis. I just know of them because they were all over the media.
But how dare they give a white woman any media attention that's just racist

Caitlin has a habit of signing autographs before and after every game whether home or away. THAT is key to creating fans, young fans are engaged by the attention YOU as a STAR give them. That alone creates a multiplier effect to the fan base.
Jemele hill is an insult to the Lisa Leslies and Cheryl Swoops of the WNBA black women who built the league and made it main stream
This makes no sense to me. Caitlin Clark isn't on the same baddie level as Hayley Van lith, Angel Reese, Paige Beucers or even Elena Delladonne, but she can really hoop and basketball doesn't care if you look like Michael Jordan or Sam Cassel as long as the ball goes in the basket. This rhetoric is so disrespectful not just to her but to fans of basketball in general. It says that we're blind and need things other than talent to believe that a star can hoop or that we're dumb enough to actually believe this pretty privilege bs.
Cameron brink n Paige bad asf 😂😂
Women and jealousy...terrifying
You know how many post there are on social media of Men and Women fawning over black players like Angel Reese and Liz Cambage. I haven’t seen one post of anybody crushing on Caitlin 😂
Food at arenas is very unhealthy, obviously.
The Spark and Aces was the game right after the Fever and Liberty game, 2 games back to back but the Fever and Seattle was a 1.7 million viewership
I was saying this to a few friends one day when they were talking about Caitlin Clark. If you can ball people are gonna watch. It's that easy. The WNBA up to this point hasn't had anyone that people wanna watch.
I believe it’s more about her style of play that captivates audiences, sure she may get more of that Midwest white crowd, with her playing for Iowa in college and her being white, but if you had a woman of color who could shoot from the logo consistently like Steph Curry, I believe she would be just as popular, maybe more with black audiences, but still just as popular overall.
Jamelle hill is legit crazy lol
Really glad I found your channel brother, you always call it how it is without bias. You’re spot on with your examples too, I don’t ever watch tennis or golf but I have watched Tiger and the Williams sister play in big matches and moments because they’re box office. The WNBA is filled with a bunch of haters smh.
The numbers don’t lie. The attendance for the fever and mystics the two worst teams beat the finals attendance. Crazy.
wnba thinks they can tell fans what they should like. doesn't work that way wnba
Imma say it....those LSU vs Iowa games were drawing the same line down the aisle like it was the OJ verdict
Race did played a part of me watching more golf (I'm Asian Australian) when Tiger was playing but it was his skill and the excitement of watching him made me watch more. I never knew about CC until a few months ago because she was exciting to watch. I also like Angel Reese and started watching basketball again since Jordan retired.
Wait, Clarke is good looking? This is news to me. I also see lots of haters calling her a man, so I don't think the general consensus is that she's pretty.
The view want up but the rookies classic has overwhelmed but the old stars are putting up stats
W take man, how I’ve viewed it is they are presenting sizable leap in talent and showmanship I enjoyed watching a few talents in the W but by far this rookie class has elevated the talent expectations by a lot
1:06 i remember one season they had to play in high-school courts.
If it was about attractiveness, then Hailey van lith would have been the number one pick and she wouldn’t have gotten flamed after the final four game.
I 💯 % co-sign everything you just said. You, sir, hit every nail on the head.
Finally, someone calls out what it is. At some point, everyone benefits from race. Essentially, it's a commonality fans share with the player, person, and values, and there's nothing wrong with it. Clark is a baller andb everyone should respect that because it takes s lot of hard work and dedication to be half the player Clark is. Caitlin is probably the most relatable player coming into the wnba with how she carries herself and her journey to getting there. Her performances in the game are similar to what Steph Curry has done because of the excitement he brings being a close to average person without being crazy athletic.
I didn’t even think if CC was straight or not until now 😂. I just wanted to see her hoop, idc about what she do off the court
WNBA when no one watches: 😡
WNBA when they finally get fans: 😡
I m from Costa Rica and Caitlin Clark is the reason I got interested on the WNBA... Just like that!!!
