What I think sucks the most is that Caitlin Clark cannot shame or even really say anything against these people without getting attacked for being 'insecure' or 'emotional'. But a man could deffiently get away with bashing on his haters and even going against them in a game to prove themselves.
@@dwightcurrie8316 Except that it clearly doesn't stop people from downright harassing her online. Any man would be encouraged to mock the haters and all of the disrespectful opponents, but she can't.
@@darkraven5424 Thank goodness she's smart enough to "Keep It Classy" and stay Mum. She'll win in the end by doing exactly That. And Yeah, Men calling out these Pinheads is as it should be
@dwightcurrie8316 So, men should be able to call people out, but women can't? Really, that's your stance? That a woman shouldn't be able to defend herself? And sorry, but why are you quoting sayings? Half of your sentence doesn't even make sense due to your insertion of dumb sayings.
I’ve never commented before, but this issue of men being dismissive of female athletes and underpaying female athletes. I wrestle for my high school and I’m the first and only female wrestler. I’ve had to wrestle boys and ngl most of the times I lost (although I have pinned 4, 1 on JV and 3 on varsity). I always feel like I have to win to prove that girls wrestling is actually decent, which is so bs because honestly I’m not the best. It’s my 3rd year wrestling and I did take 7th in states, but they’re are so many girls who are nationally and internationally ranked who would smoke these boys. Even if the boys did wrestle these girls and lost they’d make some b.s excuse for it. Like even though I’m better than most of the guys in my team and I beat them in practice they’ll still be like “I wrecked you at practice and you suck.” I’ve basically been called every slur and my accomplishments are always undermined by the boys on the team. Honestly, as long as we women enjoy female sports and we support each other that’s all that matters. We don’t need men’s validation and frankly we’ll never even get it so why try. Just be happy doing your best
@bunny I appreciate that! I’m at a club with all girls now and they’re honestly the best! We’re all friends and some even have girls teams in high school. And now there’s a lot of girls wrestlers and I’m lucky I get to go to girl tournaments and stuff like that. 💗💗💗
You talk about “ MEN”…. Hate to tell you !!! You “WOMEN” do not watch your women’s teams!! The real problem is “MEN& WOMEN” some women are talking about CC rt now!! I DO NOT WATCH BASKETBALL AT “ALL” & I have now watched 4 of her games. She is a TEAM PLAYER…. she does not hog the ball… she gives CREDIT to her teammates!!! I like watching THE TEAM PLAY!!!
@tarverr.mcknightjr4439 what you’re saying isn’t really the main point of my comment. I was just saying how guys pick on me for wrestling like they do to Caitlin Clark. And you’re right, I’m don’t watch basketball because I haven’t played since I was little. BUT I did watch all the Olympic trials for women’s wrestling on UA-cam and I plan on watching the real thing on the tv. Basketball isn’t really my thing but I’ll make a point to watch one of her games now. Honesty I don’t want to argue but I feel like you didn’t actually read what I wrote. But yk what, have a great day! 💗
@@manicpepsicola3431 oh yes I would lose for her badlyyyyyyyyyyyy. But on the field I work she would not win against me. Let's compare oranges with oranges and apples with apples. I am no pro basketball player
She has done more for women's basketball than any player before her. Her WNBA debut was SOLD OUT. She is a great shooter, but her vision to see the open player or make a play is incredible. This last NCAA tournament was incredibly fun to watch. She brought in the fans, which benefits all the players/teams. Would love to see her wipe the floor with these idiots who think they can beat her 😂
Caitlin, I stopped following the NBA a number of years ago. It wasn't fun anymore. I've never followed the WNBA, but I will when you get there. I think you're astounding. Keep your head in the game and disregard the superfluous. I'm looking forward to watching you.
Noone hates her. Shes an amazing player. They hate her disrespectful fans, and media talking heads, that feel the need to remind us every 2 seconds that "everyone" is only watching the wnba now because of Clark, and that the players should be kissing her (non existent) ring. Its obnoxious. Enjoy her greatness and her bringing attention to the league without crapping on the other players and the league its self
I think the guys who said they'd win probably don't realize that Caitlin plays against men basically every day. Granted, they are in practice and obviously wouldn't be rough on her, but it's not like she has zero experience against men. She also has two brothers and played a lot of ball against them as well. As for the salary, you do need to divide the 650k number by 2 since the WNBA plays half the number of games. Still not comparable, but slightly better. The commissioner has also explained in a previous interview that the $76k is based salary. There's bonuses and goals that can bump it up to the $500k area. I'd assume whatever those are, Clark is going to hit them. I'd guess the Jersey sales thing is from necessity; if you can't pay the bills, you got to save every penny. Just like the sudden change in chartered flights, it wouldn't shock me if that also changes this year as well. Growing women's sports is one of her true passions, and I think she understands that the WNBA isn't in the best shape right now. There's a ton of talent, but has been unsuccessful in the financial side. So I think things like the jersey sales and salary are important, but she's getting to do her childhood dream and so the money probably isn't the most important to her right now. I've had lower paying jobs myself that I enjoyed what I did and those were superior to jobs that paid more but I disliked what I did.
I am British and have never given a shit about sports in the slightest and even I can see the way she’s being treated is complete bullshit. She is taking this in stride and I respect that but she really shouldn’t HAVE to deal with this. She’s doing the sport she loves and she’s doing it well. She seems to be trying to stay out of drama as much as possible. That should be a good thing! What disgusts me more than the dudes that treat her like shit - because at this point I could see that coming before I even clicked on the video - is the women, especially the women who are also basketball players, because they know what she goes through to get to where she is and they STILL act like that. This isn’t to say she has to be perfect to be respected. She doesn’t. People are people. She’s allowed to make mistakes, just like any other athlete. She’s human and should be treated as such, not held to a higher standard.
i know absolutely zilch about sports, but i know that she should be making much more money than that. most women sports are woefully underfunded, under-advertised. while i support trash-talking, if they resort to transphobia during it that’s not trash-talk that’s discrimination
On the point of salaries... it's the revenue made in each respective league... wnba doesn't make enough money to pay the players that high.. I agree they deserve more but the money isn't there. Unless the nba gives some of their profit to the wnba
Marketing is easily the biggest thing stopping the WNBA from making money and getting fans. If even a fraction of the money put into NBA marketing went into the WNBA it would see a huge jump in popularity.
@@fkcombustion I'll give you that right now the WNBA's annual revenue is about 2% that of the NBA, but The WNBA makes about half the revenue per team that the NBA did in 2000 yet has nearly none of the comparable advertising and marketing as the NBA at that time. WNBA viewership and profit keeps increasing, but the effort to market them and advertise them isn't there. Attribute that to what you will, but it isn't the players fault who put out an excellent product every year.
@@izydas4122 because they probably tried advertising and it led nowhere, leading them to invest their money more wisely elsewhere. I doubt it’s malicious, likely just economics
theres a reason why shes in the wnba, and not the nba. cant compare mens and womans basketball. i still dont know why her teammates and other wnba players dont like her after watching this.
Dude I love Clark- but no chance in hell that she’s faster then those men football players - she would get dogged in the paint all day they are stronger and more physical - just plain and simple
I don't hate her she's a great basketball player.... however she does look like Mel Gibson's sister and that's not an insult that's just a fact of life...YEAH!
@vincemarino1939 people existing in communities that dont center (or actively decenter) the male gaze and mens opinions and perspectives, and where women tend to uplift each other for their personalities, skills and talents really threatens you huh
@@honey6610 No. Life is good. You obviously don't know anything about WNBA culture. The queer women are the majority and often many are not accepting of straight players. Many retired straight players tell about the shit they took from queer players. Especially clean cut girls like Caitlin. Part of the image problem the league has always had. Should be about the hoops but it is not.
Caitlin Clark is doing things that no woman has ever done in USA sports history. Her rookie card is worth $5000. When she was only in college , she packed 55,000 people to see her play. No woman has never done that.
The whole Antonio Brown situation is really disgusting. It's so fricking creepy and I don't know why he didn't get way more shit from it (but I guess that should be expected from twitter). I don't know how right wing goobers and reactionaries can act like we've "solved" sexism and actively mock women for feeling uncomfortable in today's culture when shit like that happens so blatantly - and on such a public scale! It's just upsetting Thanks for the upload though, I always enjoy your longform content! It's nice to see more people talking about the subject, maybe it'll raise some awareness and hopefully get some people to be more mindful
As some one who watches and plays woman's sports and on mixed teams. There is a skill gap between men and women due to biology but it is shortening. Especially in western countries were womans sports are at least somewhat celebrated and encouraged. The problem with pay in womans sports is directly tied to how many many people watch. Yes people tune in to finals and into key games but there isn't a steady viewership all season. For example i live in Canada where hockey is big. Everytime our womans national team plays the US the games sell out but there is hardly anyone watching the games they do between championships and tournaments where they play mens junior teams. My point is you want to support womans sports, watch womans sports. It is a different game (not worse) than the mens. Look at is such. It is also in general A LOT cheaper to watch then the mens. For example i enjoy pro womans soccer more than the mens. I think it is a better game, with better teamwork, and with a lot fewer dramatics.
Ty for breaking this down cause playing the same game *differently*, utilising different strategy angles and skillsets to achieve the same (literal) goals due to the aerodynamics and other physical dynamics of biological difference in body structure DOES NOT equate to men being superior I'm so mad about the default assumption being "you can't put men and women against each other cause men are naturally better"
10:12 I’m so disappointed with people, as soon as I saw a woman outperforming men at basketball I was 100% sure that there would be transphobia, and it really hurts me deeply how all these men are so threatened by a woman simply being good at something, that they resort to such a low and hateful blow such as transphobia. My heart goes out to all the trans people and all the people hurt by the transvestigators. It’s truly vile.
People just love resorting to it for no reason. I remember when lady gaga was accused of being a dude just for being boxer shaped. When people make those claims, they know it's not true, they just want to hurt someone.
Lesbians are hating on her , men love Caitlin. She is the only woman I know the name of in WNBA . I don't care about the existence of others at all lmao .
people have been similarly awful to angel reese. her instagram comments are an absolute garbage fire. people just hate to see young talented women succeeding and getting attention for excelling in a male dominated sport. tale as old as time unfortunately
What is it with all these bitter WNBA players trying to tear down a younger woman who has done more to promote the game these past four years than the WNBA marketing team has done in decades? Like when Breonna Stewart said that Clark’s legacy isn’t as great if she doesn’t win the NCAA championship. Just why? Very disappointing.
women only need to be twice as good as other women. NBA is open to women why would she not play there? The topic of this video should be why females are so jealous of each other, and how that influences their lives negatively. Cat is already a great female basketball player and will be great in the wnba
What is the name of the worst player in the NBA? I don't know either but if it was a woman we sure would. Why? Because she would get more recognition and praise than players who are twice as good.
@@J55S for sure 100 percent!!!!. if you are the first player from India to enter the NBA you will have recognition because you are unique. I was going to say that we could compare it also with 5 foot 9 player getting a lot of attention in the NBA, but is not fair a to compare women with very short players. Since a 5 foot 9 player does have a clear handicap in the NBA and women should have no handicap just for being women , they only need to work like men and they can achieve the same.
This just seems like insecurity and jealousy. @7:00 we love the equality. 😂 @10:20 I can definitely see all the transvestigators going after her. Don’t bother trying to argue with people like that. They literally think every celebrity ever is trans and half the time their reasoning is that they have wide shoulders or a manly walk. Or they target someone who was a child actor before so we have like so much info about them from a young age, how do they think they’re trans. These people are just wack.
I've been religiously watching Iowa Women's Basketball since the tournament in 2023 and have so much love for Caitlin. Watching these absolute ding dongs think they can take her 1v1 makes my blood boil. Thank you for brining this issue to light on your channel because a GOAT should never be treated like this!! Yet here we are!!
caitlin clark is single handedly inspiring millions of young girls to take basketball seriously. this leads to more people taking their kids to woman’s games, which leads to more sponsors , which leads to more spots. in the next decade the WNBA will be profitable. the NBA wasn’t until the 90s when watching basketball became more popular
lets hope so:) !!!!!!! the market for women's sports will be mostly women, please convince your girl friends that sports are cool and nice to see like soap operas on Netflix :)
I never watched Women's NBA before when I saw Caitlin Clark play basketball I got hooked on watching her every game. Its insane how she pass the ball and shoot
No, this is not the "dusty Manopocolypse." The majority of hate coming at Clark is from jealous WNBA players. The WNBA is a joke. Clark is bringing interest to the cruddy league which is crap at best. Also, don't discount how the black WNBA players hate Clark because she is white. If I were Clark, I'd play 1 year and then quit the WNBA and watch it fold. Then I'd collect on my endorsements and watch the WNBA fold. Clark will be fine ...
imo the only people who hate Clark are those who are insecure or misogynistic. I've seen a video of a bunch of people, even dudes, admit that Clark would beat them in a 1 v 1
what a cringe video. claims men are being shallow and rude and then goes “oh you’re 5’10 thats hilarious girl go off”. Men are more physically dominant get over it. If that wasnt the case, there’s just be one intersex NBA.
I don't see this kind of news, but I also mute it as soon as it pops up. I hate that it always comes down to conversations about brute strength, when basketball is about skill and precision (strength helps but still)
I work at a country club and the men will go out of their way to put on women's sports bc they're actually interested in the sports (not for gross reasons). I have never seen that before. The guys have been raving about Caitlin, her stats, and they'll literally say she's better than most men.
Speaking as man who is a sports fan and a man who spends money on sports. 90% of men are in support of Caitlin Clark including me. The reason why men say they can beat Caitlin Clark because the quality of play in the WNBA is not that good. It was a rumor that the WNBA players lost to a high school boys team. The WNBA has a lot of Lesbians in the league and that is why men thinks that she is a transgender. the WNBA has had a lot of support over the years but they always fail for many reasons I can go on why the WNBA has failed a lot and why veteran players are hating on her.
"Men will not buy the fact that a woman is this talented at what she does" That is untrue. The men are excited as hell to see her play, and Ice Cube offered her $15M to join his currently all mens league
CC is a class act Period .. always team mates Coaches and Fans first .These anti CC pod cast it’s all click bait Keep your self serving comments to your self .We Have Eyes 👀 That Don’t lie
I’ve always found all sports excruciatingly boring, was with my in laws who love ALL sports and a game was on where Caitlyn was playing. I was absolutely MESMERIZED by her playing. It was incredible to watch. I still don’t watch sports consistently now, but even I can agree she is awesome
I feel like the Caitlin & Steph comparisons are disingenuous, they’re two totally different players. Steph’s got a much better handle, Clark’s a better passer, Steph does his most damage off-ball, Clark’s on-ball almost all the time, etc. it’s almost like comparing a hummer to an F-1, just two totally different things.
On the flip side of CC's accession, she's been giving us prime examples of white privilege in action all season long, mainly because of how sports media and her stans treat her. A great example in any comment section (including this one) people will say that the WNBA is only relevant because of her, completely disrespecting/ignoring the Black women who paved the way. IDK how much you are following the WNBA but a CC follow-up video, once she's knocked out of the playoffs (if she makes it), would be so fetch. A lot of her stans have been using her name to be racist/homophobic against other WNBA players all season long.
Do not trash the WNBA 4x champion, 3x WNBA MVP, and NCAA Sheryl Swoopes! She didn’t get everything right, but talk to me when Caitlin gets close to her awards.
I agree with some of what ur saying but the college football players would very likely beat her in a 1v1, as the one guy said he’d just back her down in the paint & because she isn’t as strong he’d get easy layups, Clark would get open & shoot circles around him but the odds of hitting an open 3 r too low compared to a 95%+ chance he’d have at his layup. I understand why ur defending her but this isn’t the right approach, the real issue is them asking this question as if it matters. Clark is good at 5v5 women’s basketball, that is worthy of praise on its own, she isn’t where she is because she can beat men in a 1v1 post game with no shot clock. Also I’m not sure if she’s faster than them, certainly possible but not a guarantee as they r also elite athletes. To top all that off u don’t have to chip away at Antonio Brown’s sanity because he is already insane lol, like CTE insane, nothing he does or says makes much sense anymore.
People Need To Stop Worrying, Gossipping, Stay In Thier Own Lane, Mind Their Own Business, Leave Caitlin Clark Alone, and Allowing Her To Live Her Life."
Ok here we go again. Someone who doesn't understand business and finances. The WNBA has never made a profit in its existence! It is subsidized by the NBA so without the NBA there would be no Wnba. So you can't pay a rookie coming into a broke league the money you mention bc before Caitlin Clark no one was watching or going to Wnba games so they don't have money yet as hopefully the league will continue to grow and make their own money to where the men doesn't have to fully support the league both financially and fan wise as well. I would go on here but this is a mute topic that anyone who does a little research would clearly understand. Also the women play half as many games in a regular season.(Whoops left that fact out huh)Oh and Antonio Brown is a Super athlete from the NFL so while crazy he would beat Caitlin Clark in a 1v1. It's just biology. In fact the number 1 high school player in the country last year was Cooper Flag. You don't think he would destroy Clark in a 1v1? I'm just seeing what your sense of awareness and reality actually is?
I'm a huge Caitlin Clark fan and she has exposed me to actually watching women's basketball. However last year's best high school team would stomp a WNBA all star team. Most men who can actually play basketball would beat Caitlin Clark in a 1v1. Those are just facts. Now if we had a shooting contest then she would probably beat most men but you said a 1v1. As for the guy you mentioned at the beginning of the vid if he is still in shape he most likely would beat Caitlin Clark. Again let me be clear I'm a huge Caitlin Clark fan but we got to keep it real when talking about different genders playing a physical sport
what irks me most is that men will literally act like all this hate is from women bc "women be petty" 😑😑 like I'm not saying no women hate her but are we fr more upset with Angel Reese's trash talk then whatever tf AB said here?? it's so frustrating to watch men be fans of her yet so eager to put the other women players down to "humble" them. it all feels like it comes from a place of men thinking they know better than women even when these women have been involved YEARS (some decades!!) before them 🙄
A constructive critism - I’m very surprised you only covered a feminist perspective, excluding the white privilege she has. A lot of people also didn’t like her success because at the same time Black women of success weren’t acknowledged that way. It would be a more objective video if you added racism part too.
I could hang with Caitlin Clark in basketball. She could beat me in a game and I could beat her in another game. I have skills like Michael Jordan. So with me being coached and trained as a professional basketball player. Caitlin and myself may be evenly matched or I could be better. It's okay I love Caitlin for who she is. Im happy and proud of her for her accomplishments.
I do not watch “MEN” play basketball ball, because it is ALL ABOUT “ME” !!! I am the GOAT!!! I have found I like watching Caitlin Clark play , because she is a TEAM SHOW!! She gives credit to the team, they become better. They all get to play & make baskets. She does not have to carry them or SCREAM “ I AM THE {GOAT}”!!!! You get to enjoy a game!! I enjoy watching the team play!!! I did not know anyone on the team. I do now. I also see a “ELEGANCE “ to the team & how they play together.
Honey, people are not buying tickets and merchandise.That's where the women are gonna get their money and hopefully Caitlin.Clark can change that.. But have you also noticed that Caitlyn?Clarke has not said a word about her salary.Cause she doesn't care.She is want to play basketball....
it's like the whole Riley Gaines and Lia Thomas thing where people claim Thomas (a trans woman) took Riley's first place medal at the Olympics. They. Tied. For. Fifth. At. US. Championships. Yes, Lia did go on to win in other events, but in the showdown with Riley Gaines there were 4 women who beat BOTH of them in the USA ALONE. why do people think Lia and Riley tied for first at the Olympics? 1. they secretly don't believe a woman who isn't trans could ever beat a trans woman...so clearly it was a tie for first on the global stage - it's the sexist believe that (despite 200 free not even being Lia's best event) bio women are so biologically inferior to bio men that it is literally impossible for a bio woman to beat a bio man regardless of the circumstances (let alone for 4 to do it in a single country - not even the Olympics...even though, again, 200 free is not Lia's best event event). 2. the media never really bothers to question this, post the names of the 4 women who beat them both (literally nearly impossible to find, the focus is *entirely* on Lia and Riley because clearly female athletes do not matter no matter how good they are unless they are Instagram famous like Riley is or play into a narrative...yes ladies, we have no value even if we literally win a national championship and are not even worth naming unless we can be used to in someone who doesn't even follow our sport's post on Facebook as rage bait!), or in any way counter that the four women who beat them both have any value - like, it's insane, I can't even find their names...do you know how messed up that is? Same with this, people are getting mad and focusing on Caitlin Clark exclusively because some men are butt hurt that their 5,6" selves couldn't beat a basketball player who is turning pro...because how dare we suggest a woman is better at a man than anything ever. Oh! And assuming women who do well in sports *must* be trans - so disgusting! Especially these people who claim to be "defending women's sports". Look, I know there are issues with how to safely include trans people in sports (especially those that involve pure sprinting like swimming can) that may take us some time to fully sort out, but if you're response to a woman being good at sports is "well, she must be trans" doesn't actually seem like you give a single shit about women in sports so why are you even commenting? Like, these people clearly just care about depicting women are biologically helpless and are just using "defend women's sports" as a more socially accepted way to voice their opinion if they don't actually believe that women can be good at sports unless they are bio male. No jokes, on discussions of the Lia Thomas Riley Gaines thing AND this, I've literally seen people who claim to be feminists being like "it's not that women are biologically inferior, their bodies are just made for other things, like comforting their husbands and making babies." - 2024 people!
I agreed with everything you said, but the salaries are what they are for a reason. The nba makes Billions in revenue, while the wnba barely breaks even. If there is no revenue, there is no high salaries. Caitlin Clark will change that, like Tiger Woods did for golf. I never watched the wnba and very little women's college, but I watched more last year bc of Clark than I have since I started sports. To be honest, I only keep up with the nba in the playoffs, but I am a big college b ball fan. She will definitely make the wnba more relavent, and I will stay in tuned bc of her.
The problem with the pay for wnba players is that the sport has never made money. If the NBA wasn’t subsidizing the league it would probably have folded years ago. Perhaps this new attention will help, but is it fair to pay the athletes who don’t make their league any money the same or similar to the athletes who bring in big dollars?
Antonio Brown is like The Rapper like Kayne West. Sometimes you they say things that makes sense other time you got to shake your head at them. Watch the Jason Whitlock interview with Antonio Brown . He makes sense and then he just goes into another direction. Sherry Swoopes apologize to Caitlin Clark.
I’ve never heard of any of these men and when she looked up the basketball career of the 5 foot 6 guy I was confused because, assuming he had a minute of basketball experience in his life wasn’t on my radar
In that bikini picture she had her legs together tucking in that wacker😂 Im honestly just kidding. I think she is an outstanding athlete and she would tear me up on the court...but i will pack her ball at least once 😂. I wish her success but with the days we are living in today you can't dismiss the allegations because it does exist and it is going up ...I have a feeling i won't be getting a heart 😂😂😂 but nice video 💯
im fairly certain most high school girls that play basketball could beat me in a 1 on 1 game. in fact im sure of it. maybe middle school girls too. cailtlin clark would probably beat me with her arms tied behind her back and hopping on 1 leg. maybe blind folded. i think its weird that so many people would be emotionally involved like this.
I don’t get why people hate her but I legitimately know multiple men that are not pros that would smoke her. But when it comes to women that’s what you should focus on is why women in the wnba hate her
Maybe men would lose to her but we had Rapinoe screaming at men about pay and talent and how her team was the best and then they lost 7-nil to a 15 yr old boys team . Even Sarina said she wouldn’t get a point against a guy ranked over 500 in the world . , so you can understand why we raise eyebrows

I DO NOT WATCH BASKETBALL AT “ALL” & I have now watched 4 of her games.
She is a TEAM PLAYER…. she does not hog the ball… she gives CREDIT to her teammates!!! I like watching THE TEAM PLAY!!!
@tarverr.mcknightjr4439 what you’re saying isn’t really the main point of my comment. I was just saying how guys pick on me for wrestling like they do to Caitlin Clark. And you’re right, I’m don’t watch basketball because I haven’t played since I was little. BUT I did watch all the Olympic trials for women’s wrestling on UA-cam and I plan on watching the real thing on the tv. Basketball isn’t really my thing but I’ll make a point to watch one of her games now. Honesty I don’t want to argue but I feel like you didn’t actually read what I wrote. But yk what, have a great day! 💗
So much respect for the men who admitted that they would lose😌
Same, reminded me there are good ones out there hahaha
If she's pulling up from anywhere out there, I'd have to turn into Bill Lambier to win, let's be real 😂
@@NealBones i guess no pro basketball male admitted they would lose. Reality is still more important than fiction.
@@winspainking4984 and you are not a pro MOST MEN are not pros MOST MEN including you WOULD lose step aside pookie
@@manicpepsicola3431 oh yes I would lose for her badlyyyyyyyyyyyy. But on the field I work she would not win against me. Let's compare oranges with oranges and apples with apples. I am no pro basketball player
She has done more for women's basketball than any player before her. Her WNBA debut was SOLD OUT. She is a great shooter, but her vision to see the open player or make a play is incredible. This last NCAA tournament was incredibly fun to watch. She brought in the fans, which benefits all the players/teams.
Would love to see her wipe the floor with these idiots who think they can beat her 😂
These guys who think they can beat her 1 on 1 are delusional.
Caitlin, I stopped following the NBA a number of years ago. It wasn't fun anymore. I've never followed the WNBA, but I will when you get there. I think you're astounding. Keep your head in the game and disregard the superfluous. I'm looking forward to watching you.
Love your personality. Your going to do great things.
Noone hates her. Shes an amazing player.
They hate her disrespectful fans, and media talking heads, that feel the need to remind us every 2 seconds that "everyone" is only watching the wnba now because of Clark, and that the players should be kissing her (non existent) ring. Its obnoxious. Enjoy her greatness and her bringing attention to the league without crapping on the other players and the league its self
I think the guys who said they'd win probably don't realize that Caitlin plays against men basically every day. Granted, they are in practice and obviously wouldn't be rough on her, but it's not like she has zero experience against men. She also has two brothers and played a lot of ball against them as well.
As for the salary, you do need to divide the 650k number by 2 since the WNBA plays half the number of games. Still not comparable, but slightly better. The commissioner has also explained in a previous interview that the $76k is based salary. There's bonuses and goals that can bump it up to the $500k area. I'd assume whatever those are, Clark is going to hit them.
I'd guess the Jersey sales thing is from necessity; if you can't pay the bills, you got to save every penny. Just like the sudden change in chartered flights, it wouldn't shock me if that also changes this year as well.
Growing women's sports is one of her true passions, and I think she understands that the WNBA isn't in the best shape right now. There's a ton of talent, but has been unsuccessful in the financial side. So I think things like the jersey sales and salary are important, but she's getting to do her childhood dream and so the money probably isn't the most important to her right now. I've had lower paying jobs myself that I enjoyed what I did and those were superior to jobs that paid more but I disliked what I did.
I am British and have never given a shit about sports in the slightest and even I can see the way she’s being treated is complete bullshit.
She is taking this in stride and I respect that but she really shouldn’t HAVE to deal with this. She’s doing the sport she loves and she’s doing it well. She seems to be trying to stay out of drama as much as possible. That should be a good thing!
What disgusts me more than the dudes that treat her like shit - because at this point I could see that coming before I even clicked on the video - is the women, especially the women who are also basketball players, because they know what she goes through to get to where she is and they STILL act like that.
This isn’t to say she has to be perfect to be respected. She doesn’t. People are people. She’s allowed to make mistakes, just like any other athlete. She’s human and should be treated as such, not held to a higher standard.
Thank you so much for calling attention to how ridiculous the hate around her is❤❤❤❤ we love women suppoting women in success
no one is hating her for her game, they hatin because she is white. I wish there was more to that but it is what it is.
100% Can't stand she is the face of the WNBA and selling massive amounts of tickets.
i know absolutely zilch about sports, but i know that she should be making much more money than that. most women sports are woefully underfunded, under-advertised. while i support trash-talking, if they resort to transphobia during it that’s not trash-talk that’s discrimination
On the point of salaries... it's the revenue made in each respective league... wnba doesn't make enough money to pay the players that high..
I agree they deserve more but the money isn't there. Unless the nba gives some of their profit to the wnba
6:47 He is so fine. The height, the hair, the accent. Who is that man? Lol 😅
I did not know about the WNBA until a few months ago. Clark is doing stuff for this game only few people have done.
proofs for you to do this story. She is a generational player. She will rebuild the WMBA.
Marketing is easily the biggest thing stopping the WNBA from making money and getting fans. If even a fraction of the money put into NBA marketing went into the WNBA it would see a huge jump in popularity.
If the WNBA made even a fraction of what the NBA made they could spend more on advertising 😂😂
@@fkcombustion I'll give you that right now the WNBA's annual revenue is about 2% that of the NBA, but The WNBA makes about half the revenue per team that the NBA did in 2000 yet has nearly none of the comparable advertising and marketing as the NBA at that time. WNBA viewership and profit keeps increasing, but the effort to market them and advertise them isn't there. Attribute that to what you will, but it isn't the players fault who put out an excellent product every year.
@@izydas4122 because they probably tried advertising and it led nowhere, leading them to invest their money more wisely elsewhere. I doubt it’s malicious, likely just economics
CLARK #22 MY GOAT 😊 she is wonderful 😊 BLESSINGS to Clark & womens B Ball!
Facts; Martinez numbers were against males far superior than the females Catlin were putting her numbers against 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
theres a reason why shes in the wnba, and not the nba. cant compare mens and womans basketball. i still dont know why her teammates and other wnba players dont like her after watching this.
You just said that she's a legend. WOWWWW. When did she become a legend?
Dude I love Clark- but no chance in hell that she’s faster then those men football players - she would get dogged in the paint all day they are stronger and more physical - just plain and simple
Why does everyone hate her? Because everyone loves her...
Cuz she's not black
I don't hate her she's a great basketball player.... however she does look like Mel Gibson's sister and that's not an insult that's just a fact of life...YEAH!
bruh how are you comparing stats between male and female players😂 you realize the stats are for playing against THEIR OWN gender
If Caitlin Clark has 0 fans, I’m dead
Periodt !
We all dead...
She has tons of fans... All Trump supporters.
Lucky you. The number of her fans is a non zero positive integer.
@@KingKoopa1 literally what does that have to do with her at all

@vincemarino1939 people existing in communities that dont center (or actively decenter) the male gaze and mens opinions and perspectives, and where women tend to uplift each other for their personalities, skills and talents really threatens you huh
@@honey6610 No. Life is good. You obviously don't know anything about WNBA culture. The queer women are the majority and often many are not accepting of straight players. Many retired straight players tell about the shit they took from queer players. Especially clean cut girls like Caitlin. Part of the image problem the league has always had. Should be about the hoops but it is not.
Caitlin Clark is doing things that no woman has ever done in USA sports history. Her rookie card is worth $5000. When she was only in college , she packed 55,000 people to see her play. No woman has never done that.
We need a study on why men who say Caitlyn Clark will beat them become 10x more attractive
Its the truth. Thats attractive.
LeBron will beat them even harder right? pros against amateurs,

The whole Antonio Brown situation is really disgusting. It's so fricking creepy and I don't know why he didn't get way more shit from it (but I guess that should be expected from twitter). I don't know how right wing goobers and reactionaries can act like we've "solved" sexism and actively mock women for feeling uncomfortable in today's culture when shit like that happens so blatantly - and on such a public scale! It's just upsetting
Thanks for the upload though, I always enjoy your longform content! It's nice to see more people talking about the subject, maybe it'll raise some awareness and hopefully get some people to be more mindful
As some one who watches and plays woman's sports and on mixed teams. There is a skill gap between men and women due to biology but it is shortening. Especially in western countries were womans sports are at least somewhat celebrated and encouraged.
The problem with pay in womans sports is directly tied to how many many people watch. Yes people tune in to finals and into key games but there isn't a steady viewership all season.
For example i live in Canada where hockey is big. Everytime our womans national team plays the US the games sell out but there is hardly anyone watching the games they do between championships and tournaments where they play mens junior teams.
My point is you want to support womans sports, watch womans sports.
It is a different game (not worse) than the mens. Look at is such. It is also in general A LOT cheaper to watch then the mens.
For example i enjoy pro womans soccer more than the mens. I think it is a better game, with better teamwork, and with a lot fewer dramatics.
Ty for breaking this down cause playing the same game *differently*, utilising different strategy angles and skillsets to achieve the same (literal) goals due to the aerodynamics and other physical dynamics of biological difference in body structure DOES NOT equate to men being superior I'm so mad about the default assumption being "you can't put men and women against each other cause men are naturally better"
@@stephe1506The worst player in the AHL would look like Connor Mcdavid if you dropped him into the PWHL. Sorry but that’s the truth.
10:12 I’m so disappointed with people, as soon as I saw a woman outperforming men at basketball I was 100% sure that there would be transphobia, and it really hurts me deeply how all these men are so threatened by a woman simply being good at something, that they resort to such a low and hateful blow such as transphobia. My heart goes out to all the trans people and all the people hurt by the transvestigators. It’s truly vile.
I feel like transvestigators are considered dumb even by average transphobes. That’s how weird they are.
Saying she is trans is pathetic, but it is because she is outperforming women. She isn't outperforming men at basketball. They don't play together.

People just love resorting to it for no reason. I remember when lady gaga was accused of being a dude just for being boxer shaped.
When people make those claims, they know it's not true, they just want to hurt someone.
Lesbians are hating on her , men love Caitlin.
She is the only woman I know the name of in WNBA . I don't care about the existence of others at all lmao .
cant believe we have you out doing interviews😭😭 this is everything
people have been similarly awful to angel reese. her instagram comments are an absolute garbage fire. people just hate to see young talented women succeeding and getting attention for excelling in a male dominated sport. tale as old as time unfortunately
How is woman's basketball a male dominated sport
@@huemungus5321 basketball** is a male dominated sport. don’t be dense

What is it with all these bitter WNBA players trying to tear down a younger woman who has done more to promote the game these past four years than the WNBA marketing team has done in decades? Like when Breonna Stewart said that Clark’s legacy isn’t as great if she doesn’t win the NCAA championship. Just why? Very disappointing.
Because Breonna was on a stacked team that could gave won without her and she is delusional.
@@Oneanddone14 no one here cares about your opinion male
And then men wonder why women pick the bear 😊
Women have to be twice as good as men at EVERYTHING and they still don’t get the recognition and praise they deserve
women only need to be twice as good as other women. NBA is open to women why would she not play there? The topic of this video should be why females are so jealous of each other, and how that influences their lives negatively. Cat is already a great female basketball player and will be great in the wnba
What is the name of the worst player in the NBA? I don't know either but if it was a woman we sure would. Why? Because she would get more recognition and praise than players who are twice as good.
@@J55S for sure 100 percent!!!!. if you are the first player from India to enter the NBA you will have recognition because you are unique. I was going to say that we could compare it also with 5 foot 9 player getting a lot of attention in the NBA, but is not fair a to compare women with very short players. Since a 5 foot 9 player does have a clear handicap in the NBA and women should have no handicap just for being women , they only need to work like men and they can achieve the same.
That is an absurd thing for an adult to say. Maybe from a 14 year old who just watched Barbie.
@@winspainking4984 Achieve what? Play in the NBA? They can try if they want. That woman doesn't exist currently, but a woman eventually may do it.
Put together a graph showing the age, gender and race of those that say they "hate" her, I think you already know how that will turn out.
Yeah it is mostly black women hating cause a white girl is better at basketball than them
i like the noise you’re using for bleeping in this video. it’s gentler on the ears than actual bleeps …. thank you
the best male basketball player I know admitted Caitlin would beat him 1v1, and he's got three inches on her and absolutely dominates in boys games
Like Snoop Said..."Gangsta Know Gangsta"...........And Talent Knows Talent
This just seems like insecurity and jealousy.
@7:00 we love the equality. 😂
@10:20 I can definitely see all the transvestigators going after her. Don’t bother trying to argue with people like that. They literally think every celebrity ever is trans and half the time their reasoning is that they have wide shoulders or a manly walk. Or they target someone who was a child actor before so we have like so much info about them from a young age, how do they think they’re trans. These people are just wack.
I once saw them argue that Holly Madison was secretly trans.

I've been religiously watching Iowa Women's Basketball since the tournament in 2023 and have so much love for Caitlin. Watching these absolute ding dongs think they can take her 1v1 makes my blood boil. Thank you for brining this issue to light on your channel because a GOAT should never be treated like this!! Yet here we are!!
Thank you for making commentary videos on topics that most UA-camrs don’t!
She could hang in the NBA as well. She really is that incredible!
caitlin clark is single handedly inspiring millions of young girls to take basketball seriously. this leads to more people taking their kids to woman’s games, which leads to more sponsors , which leads to more spots. in the next decade the WNBA will be profitable. the NBA wasn’t until the 90s when watching basketball became more popular
lets hope so:) !!!!!!! the market for women's sports will be mostly women, please convince your girl friends that sports are cool and nice to see like soap operas on Netflix :)

What a nice comment! Thank you!!!
I never watched Women's NBA before when I saw Caitlin Clark play basketball I got hooked on watching her every game. Its insane how she pass the ball and shoot
No, this is not the "dusty Manopocolypse." The majority of hate coming at Clark is from jealous WNBA players. The WNBA is a joke. Clark is bringing interest to the cruddy league which is crap at best. Also, don't discount how the black WNBA players hate Clark because she is white. If I were Clark, I'd play 1 year and then quit the WNBA and watch it fold. Then I'd collect on my endorsements and watch the WNBA fold. Clark will be fine ...
Tyler you're the girl's girl we need and not to be dramatic but we'll die for you
Wait omg I this is what I strive for! LY💗
ILY2! 🩵 We really need you please don’t ever leave us 😅
If I played Caitlin Clark, my ankles would be reduced to powder
I love the new profile pic and the “the weekend bender” branding ❤❤❤
I love people in completely different sports claiming they can beat her. Just because you do a sport doesnt mean you're good at anything else.
imo the only people who hate Clark are those who are insecure or misogynistic. I've seen a video of a bunch of people, even dudes, admit that Clark would beat them in a 1 v 1
No but it's always the 5'6 gremlins?!
what a cringe video. claims men are being shallow and rude and then goes “oh you’re 5’10 thats hilarious girl go off”. Men are more physically dominant get over it. If that wasnt the case, there’s just be one intersex NBA.
Omg I'd die if you were a news presenter on my TV arghgxxschgf
Omg that’d be so fun
I don't see this kind of news, but I also mute it as soon as it pops up. I hate that it always comes down to conversations about brute strength, when basketball is about skill and precision (strength helps but still)
I work at a country club and the men will go out of their way to put on women's sports bc they're actually interested in the sports (not for gross reasons). I have never seen that before. The guys have been raving about Caitlin, her stats, and they'll literally say she's better than most men.
Speaking as man who is a sports fan and a man who spends money on sports. 90% of men are in support of Caitlin Clark including me. The reason why men say they can beat Caitlin Clark because the quality of play in the WNBA is not that good. It was a rumor that the WNBA players lost to a high school boys team. The WNBA has a lot of Lesbians in the league and that is why men thinks that she is a transgender. the WNBA has had a lot of support over the years but they always fail for many reasons I can go on why the WNBA has failed a lot and why veteran players are hating on her.

"Men will not buy the fact that a woman is this talented at what she does"
That is untrue. The men are excited as hell to see her play, and Ice Cube offered her $15M to join his currently all mens league
CC is a class act Period .. always team mates Coaches and Fans first .These anti CC pod cast it’s all click bait Keep your self serving comments to your self .We Have Eyes 👀 That Don’t lie
I’ve always found all sports excruciatingly boring, was with my in laws who love ALL sports and a game was on where Caitlyn was playing. I was absolutely MESMERIZED by her playing. It was incredible to watch. I still don’t watch sports consistently now, but even I can agree she is awesome
They want a Michael Jordan when they have a Larry Bird right in front of them.
Caitlin Clark is the only woman to be offered 5 million to play in Ice Cube's 3 on 3 men's league. The only woman period to be offered a shot.
I feel like the Caitlin & Steph comparisons are disingenuous, they’re two totally different players. Steph’s got a much better handle, Clark’s a better passer, Steph does his most damage off-ball, Clark’s on-ball almost all the time, etc. it’s almost like comparing a hummer to an F-1, just two totally different things.
On the flip side of CC's accession, she's been giving us prime examples of white privilege in action all season long, mainly because of how sports media and her stans treat her.
A great example in any comment section (including this one) people will say that the WNBA is only relevant because of her, completely disrespecting/ignoring the Black women who paved the way.
IDK how much you are following the WNBA but a CC follow-up video, once she's knocked out of the playoffs (if she makes it), would be so fetch. A lot of her stans have been using her name to be racist/homophobic against other WNBA players all season long.
Do not trash the WNBA 4x champion, 3x WNBA MVP, and NCAA Sheryl Swoopes! She didn’t get everything right, but talk to me when Caitlin gets close to her awards.
This is the first I've heard anything bit praise for her. I imagine it's just a small group of loud single men...
I agree with some of what ur saying but the college football players would very likely beat her in a 1v1, as the one guy said he’d just back her down in the paint & because she isn’t as strong he’d get easy layups, Clark would get open & shoot circles around him but the odds of hitting an open 3 r too low compared to a 95%+ chance he’d have at his layup. I understand why ur defending her but this isn’t the right approach, the real issue is them asking this question as if it matters. Clark is good at 5v5 women’s basketball, that is worthy of praise on its own, she isn’t where she is because she can beat men in a 1v1 post game with no shot clock. Also I’m not sure if she’s faster than them, certainly possible but not a guarantee as they r also elite athletes. To top all that off u don’t have to chip away at Antonio Brown’s sanity because he is already insane lol, like CTE insane, nothing he does or says makes much sense anymore.
People Need To Stop Worrying, Gossipping, Stay In Thier Own Lane, Mind Their Own Business, Leave Caitlin Clark Alone, and Allowing Her To Live Her Life."
Ok here we go again. Someone who doesn't understand business and finances. The WNBA has never made a profit in its existence! It is subsidized by the NBA so without the NBA there would be no Wnba. So you can't pay a rookie coming into a broke league the money you mention bc before Caitlin Clark no one was watching or going to Wnba games so they don't have money yet as hopefully the league will continue to grow and make their own money to where the men doesn't have to fully support the league both financially and fan wise as well. I would go on here but this is a mute topic that anyone who does a little research would clearly understand. Also the women play half as many games in a regular season.(Whoops left that fact out huh)Oh and Antonio Brown is a Super athlete from the NFL so while crazy he would beat Caitlin Clark in a 1v1. It's just biology. In fact the number 1 high school player in the country last year was Cooper Flag. You don't think he would destroy Clark in a 1v1? I'm just seeing what your sense of awareness and reality actually is?
I'm a huge Caitlin Clark fan and she has exposed me to actually watching women's basketball. However last year's best high school team would stomp a WNBA all star team. Most men who can actually play basketball would beat Caitlin Clark in a 1v1. Those are just facts. Now if we had a shooting contest then she would probably beat most men but you said a 1v1. As for the guy you mentioned at the beginning of the vid if he is still in shape he most likely would beat Caitlin Clark. Again let me be clear I'm a huge Caitlin Clark fan but we got to keep it real when talking about different genders playing a physical sport
you can’t be talking about Sheryl Swoopes about like that. don’t disrespect the WNBA
what irks me most is that men will literally act like all this hate is from women bc "women be petty" 😑😑 like I'm not saying no women hate her but are we fr more upset with Angel Reese's trash talk then whatever tf AB said here?? it's so frustrating to watch men be fans of her yet so eager to put the other women players down to "humble" them. it all feels like it comes from a place of men thinking they know better than women even when these women have been involved YEARS (some decades!!) before them 🙄
A constructive critism - I’m very surprised you only covered a feminist perspective, excluding the white privilege she has. A lot of people also didn’t like her success because at the same time Black women of success weren’t acknowledged that way. It would be a more objective video if you added racism part too.
I could hang with Caitlin Clark in basketball. She could beat me in a game and I could beat her in another game. I have skills like Michael Jordan. So with me being coached and trained as a professional basketball player. Caitlin and myself may be evenly matched or I could be better. It's okay I love Caitlin for who she is. Im happy and proud of her for her accomplishments.
I do not watch “MEN” play basketball ball, because it is ALL ABOUT “ME” !!! I am the GOAT!!!
I have found I like watching Caitlin Clark play , because she is a TEAM SHOW!!
She gives credit to the team, they become better.
They all get to play & make baskets. She does not have to carry them or SCREAM “ I AM THE {GOAT}”!!!!
You get to enjoy a game!! I enjoy watching the team play!!!
I did not know anyone on the team. I do now.
I also see a “ELEGANCE “ to the team & how they play together.
Honey, people are not buying tickets and merchandise.That's where the women are gonna get their money and hopefully Caitlin.Clark can change that.. But have you also noticed that Caitlyn?Clarke has not said a word about her salary.Cause she doesn't care.She is want to play basketball....
it's like the whole Riley Gaines and Lia Thomas thing where people claim Thomas (a trans woman) took Riley's first place medal at the Olympics. They. Tied. For. Fifth. At. US. Championships. Yes, Lia did go on to win in other events, but in the showdown with Riley Gaines there were 4 women who beat BOTH of them in the USA ALONE. why do people think Lia and Riley tied for first at the Olympics? 1. they secretly don't believe a woman who isn't trans could ever beat a trans woman...so clearly it was a tie for first on the global stage - it's the sexist believe that (despite 200 free not even being Lia's best event) bio women are so biologically inferior to bio men that it is literally impossible for a bio woman to beat a bio man regardless of the circumstances (let alone for 4 to do it in a single country - not even the Olympics...even though, again, 200 free is not Lia's best event event). 2. the media never really bothers to question this, post the names of the 4 women who beat them both (literally nearly impossible to find, the focus is *entirely* on Lia and Riley because clearly female athletes do not matter no matter how good they are unless they are Instagram famous like Riley is or play into a narrative...yes ladies, we have no value even if we literally win a national championship and are not even worth naming unless we can be used to in someone who doesn't even follow our sport's post on Facebook as rage bait!), or in any way counter that the four women who beat them both have any value - like, it's insane, I can't even find their names...do you know how messed up that is?
Same with this, people are getting mad and focusing on Caitlin Clark exclusively because some men are butt hurt that their 5,6" selves couldn't beat a basketball player who is turning pro...because how dare we suggest a woman is better at a man than anything ever.
Oh! And assuming women who do well in sports *must* be trans - so disgusting! Especially these people who claim to be "defending women's sports". Look, I know there are issues with how to safely include trans people in sports (especially those that involve pure sprinting like swimming can) that may take us some time to fully sort out, but if you're response to a woman being good at sports is "well, she must be trans" doesn't actually seem like you give a single shit about women in sports so why are you even commenting? Like, these people clearly just care about depicting women are biologically helpless and are just using "defend women's sports" as a more socially accepted way to voice their opinion if they don't actually believe that women can be good at sports unless they are bio male.
No jokes, on discussions of the Lia Thomas Riley Gaines thing AND this, I've literally seen people who claim to be feminists being like "it's not that women are biologically inferior, their bodies are just made for other things, like comforting their husbands and making babies." - 2024 people!
I agreed with everything you said, but the salaries are what they are for a reason. The nba makes Billions in revenue, while the wnba barely breaks even. If there is no revenue, there is no high salaries. Caitlin Clark will change that, like Tiger Woods did for golf. I never watched the wnba and very little women's college, but I watched more last year bc of Clark than I have since I started sports. To be honest, I only keep up with the nba in the playoffs, but I am a big college b ball fan. She will definitely make the wnba more relavent, and I will stay in tuned bc of her.
What's this "everyone hates" BS. She has millions of fans and supporters and maybe a few hundred haters.
The problem with the pay for wnba players is that the sport has never made money. If the NBA wasn’t subsidizing the league it would probably have folded years ago. Perhaps this new attention will help, but is it fair to pay the athletes who don’t make their league any money the same or similar to the athletes who bring in big dollars?
Antonio Brown is like The Rapper like Kayne West. Sometimes you they say things that makes sense other time you got to shake your head at them. Watch the Jason Whitlock interview with Antonio Brown . He makes sense and then he just goes into another direction. Sherry Swoopes apologize to Caitlin Clark.
I’ve never heard of any of these men and when she looked up the basketball career of the 5 foot 6 guy I was confused because, assuming he had a minute of basketball experience in his life wasn’t on my radar
In that bikini picture she had her legs together tucking in that wacker😂 Im honestly just kidding. I think she is an outstanding athlete and she would tear me up on the court...but i will pack her ball at least once 😂. I wish her success but with the days we are living in today you can't dismiss the allegations because it does exist and it is going up ...I have a feeling i won't be getting a heart 😂😂😂 but nice video 💯
im fairly certain most high school girls that play basketball could beat me in a 1 on 1 game. in fact im sure of it. maybe middle school girls too. cailtlin clark would probably beat me with her arms tied behind her back and hopping on 1 leg. maybe blind folded. i think its weird that so many people would be emotionally involved like this.
I don’t get why people hate her but I legitimately know multiple men that are not pros that would smoke her. But when it comes to women that’s what you should focus on is why women in the wnba hate her
Maybe men would lose to her but we had Rapinoe screaming at men about pay and talent and how her team was the best and then they lost 7-nil to a 15 yr old boys team . Even Sarina said she wouldn’t get a point against a guy ranked over 500 in the world . , so you can understand why we raise eyebrows
