I never watched the WNBA, so I just recently learned that a season is only 3 months or something. Basically, the players are being paid for practicing their hobby in a loss making league. Any payment is a pretty good payment under these circumstances. If the league growths and starts becoming a net positive product, things will change. If not, stop asking for money that isn’t earned. The stars like CC will make their money with sponsorships, that’s where market value comes into play.
WNBA access to ARENAS is difficult during the months that the NBA practices and plays, so the women have to go overseas in order to play and earn a living during those months.
there is no rivalry, their stats in college does not compare to validate a rivalry. It does will be beneficial to the WNBA to generate a reese-Clark rivalry story ala Bird-Magic Johnson to popularize the women's league.
@@napolitano915 you do know WWE is literally just Star Wars. or Game Of Thrones. Turning basketball into game of thrones and is how you create interest. who will reach the top and win. will it be Messi Or Ronaldo. Larry Bird Or Magic Johnson. storylines. drama. betrayal. etc.
I’m sick of anyone whether they watch or not complaining about the salaries! The wnba loses money which means any of them are lucky to have a job at all! Simple economics in business if your product is not profitable than any employee who gets payed anything is a blessing! People are too simple minded to understand economics!
WNBA loses 60 million a year!!!!!!!!!!and can’t even pay it off guess who does the nba!!!!!!!!these women are lucky to be making 500,000 thousands a year lol they should be thankful and not complaining about pay lol 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️the nba literally is saving them for being evsirated from being a sport.
I agree with you to a point! Clark is fun to watch she’s like the girls Steph curry just can pull up from anywhere and make it! Reese is kind of boring on the court however to her credit off the court, with her look, personality, and attitude, she does draw attention! Remember throughout history in sports what turned the leagues into gaining national attention was player rivalries! The nba was on verge of collapse before bird and magics rivalry that started in college! Jordan against Magic, Bird, and Isiah! Then turned into Jordan against everyone Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Kemp,Olijiwan, Payton, Ewing, Starks, Miller, etc! Then Kobe, Shaq, Iverson, Lebron then Lebron, Steph, Durant, etc! In order to grow a league you need real rivalries! For the wnba nobody can think of one rivalry that stands out, ever! So they need Caitlyn and Reese to both do well and go at eachother! Two years in college they had prime time games and both lived up to the hype! So the wnba has to build up the hype and play off it and build that rivalry! If they cannot do that then the league will continue to fail! Even if Clark is great, nobody will continue to watch if they cannot create a rival for her
@@kathyshea2444 Caitlin the better player ... But Angel Reese being good and all the controversy and even racial divide between viewers really lifted the sport ( I'm not saying I like the racial divided but I'm just being honest )
Nope, they get paid what they get paid, when their product can stand on its own and make a profit, then they can get more money, until then, there just welfare recipients
@@joeb2650 She’s 1 out of 3 brand ambassadors for Gainbridge (who has their name trademarked). Gainbridge is also the name of her WNBA team arena. Whether she is playing or not or even retires, she will forever make money off of Gainbridge.
Just looking at the stats, It would be better to say that Clark and Reese were the reason that so many ppl tuned in to watch that game. Reese was her arch nemesis, and ppl love seeing these things. Clark may get a lot of the recognition, but would so many ppl have tuned in had these two women not had their rivalry. She deserves her flowers, but last year, we saw a lot of amazing talent in womens basketball that gave it an overall boost. South Carolina had a flawless season and came out with the championship over Iowa, and yet everyone seems to be brainwashed into believing that Clark is the only thing that happened 🤦🏽♂️.
THANK YOU for seeing things the way they should be seen. Everyone acts as though the WNBA would fold if she wasn’t playing. Everyone acts as though women’s college basketball NEVER existed until she, and she ALONE played. SHE was in 2 straight championships and lost BOTH?!? As you stated, where were the accolades deserved by South Carolina’s amazing season? Considering the majority of the “Caitlin Clark craze” seems to coming from people who admitted they never watched the games before, I think they need to go back in time and watch Cheryl Miller, Candace Parker, Diana Tarausi, and other players who ACTUALLY made women’s college ball with watching. Then and only then will their comments be worth listening to.
@@BigA7x7 The League exists for over 25 years... and noone was ever interested. Now people are, and the reason is Clark. You do not have to like it, but thats a fact. Of course there were other great female players before her, but noone was interest in watching them play. But they are interested in Clark and to a degree her nemesis Reese. Those 2 could do for the WNBA what Magic/Bird did for the NBA. There were a lot of great players before and during their era, but those 2 saved the NBA! If the heads of the WNBA are somewhat intelligent, they milk those 2 for everything they have.
Youre a total CLOWN! SC basically had two teams with the deep bench they had, whereas Iowa barely had 3 talented players on their team! CCled the NCAA in scoring AND assists her junior and senior year! CC beat the NCAA Womens, AND Mens scoring records and set or broke every single other record! CC beat Steph Currys 3 point record. I could go on and on but in reality I know youre against CC because shes white! Btw, how many records did AR break or set? LMMFAO!
Even in this clip you can see that he even pushes away her mic.....he clearly is not joking with her.....dude is barely a mid player & ain't worth the attention
Name someone who Creepy, Serious and a wack job. Caitlin Clark is Iowa normal which is why she is a big deal! Hopefully and praying this world of self entitled pompous professional sports people don’t ruin her.
Did you just say Caitlin Clark was single-handedly doing it herself with Angel Reese without no help from the WNBA or NBA just some guy streaming the sky game had 2 million people tuning in. 😂
That reporter was just doing a heart sign and people think he's a creep? People in asia and pretty much some parts of Europe do that in KPOP events/concerts. Even men do that and that's normal. SMH
Yea good thing it’s North America not Asia or Europe it’s creepy it’s a man double her age hitting on her in a professional setting it’s creepy and outta place
Its WNBA were wokeness is at its peak. In the land of the US of A the birthplace of woke. Where any actions of man even the most gentlemanly and kindest is and will only be seen as creepy and perverse.
Yah awkward but hardly worth losing a job over. I kind of lost some respect for Caitlin not coming out and calling out her fans. They make Swifties look rational. Now they want to fire the Fever coach for saying Caitlin had some work to do on her game at this level.
I hate all the people who say “what did he do wrong?” “It was out of context” “this was blown out of proportion” and “it’s a nothing burger” but If you have actually any inclination about Gregg he has a lengthy history of being inappropriate.
Dude please take your time for good content. You are using scraps to entertain. I can’t keep watching things that honestly only take 1 minute. Don’t get greedy brotha
What blew up the sport was Angel Reese making that mocking hand gesture to Caitlin Clark in 2023, and all of controversy surrounding that. It drew in viewers who had never watched women’s basketball. I was reading news about the White House when I heard about it as the story was covered by the White House press corps (there was this controversy and intrigue about whether Angel Reese was going to vis the White House after their win). People were on news sites arguing about Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese, lol. After following that I started learning about other players as well which got me interested in watching the games. Now, I’m totally invested in the women’s basketball players from this draft class.
A bit more with that White House thing.....Jill Biden wanted to invite Iowa to the white house too. Never before had the runner up in any college or pro sport receive an invite....
she got 20 million from Nike! So either way she won! I hope she plays out her contract and goes oversees to a league that will appreciate the viewership she brings! Jealous current and ex players and certain fans 😉 are mad that she got the bag and is the most famous woman’s player in history! I love it and I hope the broke players and ex players keep the tears flowing! Lmao 😂
She may be the CURRENT “most famous” female basketball player but, absolutely NOT the MOST in history. Diana Taurasi…?? Candace Parker..?? Brittany Grinder…?? I don’t even CARE for these players but, they did a HECK of a lot more to bring women’s basketball closer to the forefront as it was just in the infant stages than Clark. Two championship games and she lost BOTH?!? Wait until she sets records in the WNBA then I might change my mind.
The WNBA estimated that Caitlin Clark will bring in $100 million to the WNBA this year!! In Minnesota they've just had to expand their ticket sales to 19,000 for a game in July. This is a team which last year averaged 7,700 fans per game!!
WNBA median pay is on par with NHL median pay, and UFC median pay. You'd think these woman would appreciate that, rather than think they deserve as much as their male counterparts. Especially considering that if you look at it from purely a business perspective, it's failing.
There was a feud between retired Boxer and now promoter Oscar De Lahoya, comparing the pay of professional boxers and UFC fighters. Professional boxers make much more. Oscar told UFC fighters to come join him and get decent pay. That started the feud with UFC.
@brody6634 Dana White, CEO of UFC, didn't appreciate Oscar going on ESPN TV, telling his UFC fighters to leave him, and come to the Boxing world with him and make more money. However, I do believe that UFC is more popular today than semi pro and pro Boxing?

Wait.. what? The reporter said he liked her hand-heart signal and wants her to do it at the press conferences?? thats it? Whats wrong with that??? Jesus H this world is so dumb
NCAA womans was better than mens this year… didn’t think i would ever… ever in a million years say that… still can’t believe it… but it was just electric to watch… CC is an absolute baller.
Pat Bev wasn’t joking… he pushed the reporter’s mic away multiple times during the interview… yes he was being malicious… stop justifying this clown’s antics
Im icky of all the people defending Gregg Doyel like “what did he do wrong?” “It was out of context” “this was blown out of proportion” and “it’s a nothing burger” but If you did any research or knew anything about Gregg, then you’d know he has a lengthy history of being inappropriate.
From Nike. You know he was talking about players salaries and he was not singling out her salary. If you don’t know that then you are another one of those people who commented without watching the video.
I was watching to see lsu and south Carolina team she just was apart of it them two teams are the ncaa champions. I really started watching to see them play because they eas the ones that spark my interest.
Mike, why did you not show the most important part of the PatBev clip? He keeps pushing her mic away and finally tells her she needs to leave and seriously makes her leave. I thought he was joking at first, but that ain't joking anymore!
When will the WNBA players understand that that it’s not only about being good on the court. People need to want to watch the games for them to get paid. They will not be able to cry themselves into being paid… In fact, that will put a lot of people off for watching them…
I think this proves more than anything why the NBA is so popular. The storylines. The focus on what goes on in the players' personal lives and a concentrated effort to release that type of content in volume. Simply put, you either need crazy athletic dunks/blocks or coverage on controversy. The NBA provides both of those and it translates. Idk where the $$ comes from in the WNBA but they should market better.
So you’re telling me that other female basketball player only got a deal because she’s black and they cried she didn’t have a deal yet?….. ayooooo wtf is this world? Talk about privilege.
Can we stop talking about the wnba and let the ladies only talk about it … let them build a buzz and build up viewership… the product it boring and this Clark chick ain’t dunking or making the league exciting…’stop simping for this women let them handle this
The LSU-Iowa game this year was not in the final four, it was the Elite 8 in Albany. Iowa beat UConn in the final 4 and lost to South Carolina in the final
I would say her hype peaked when she got 20 million from Nike! So either way she won! I hope she plays out her contract and goes oversees to a league that will appreciate the viewership she brings! Jealous current and ex players and certain fans 😉 are mad that she got the bag and is the most famous woman’s player in history! I love it and I hope the broke players and ex players keep the tears flowing! Lmao 😂
@@DaNxYsmells007I was saying in the aspect nobody watches the wnba regardless so people would actually have to watch the other teams which I highly doubt it
Sure it is the Clark Hype has got Caitlin a 28 million dollar shoe deal with Nike it got Aja Wilson her deal with Gatorade Caitlin has got the Wnba chartered flights so saying the Caitlin Effect has peaked is nothing farther from the truth Every Game Caitlin plays in Home and away is or will be sold out her Fever Jersey sold out in a hour Caitlin has done more for the Wnba then anyone person or persons ever has and it's only going to get better
Caitlin has to score 30pts plus per game to keep the fans coming! The Fever averaged only 4,000 spectators per game last season! Her problems will be her off court sponsor demands. WNBA averages only 7,300 per game! The WNBA loses more than $10 million annually for a 6 month season! Maximising the Clark effect is critical to WNBA success on and off the court.
Yeah the Doyel thing was blown out of proportion. I thought he made some really weird sign judging by everybody else's reaction and not to mention he did sound very nervous to talk to her lmao.
I do agree with you these punishments are too extreme. They’re rude if it anything else but they are really extreme! And I believe maybe this is a good example of how Gen X or boomers feel about how woke media tries try to cancel everything without giving it further clarification …….. and unfortunately it’s not just the people that you cancel. I have to suffer. It’s the people around them as well……..
Why do you people in TRACK think you deserve more MONEY. First there is no MARKET that buys any TRACK and FIELD Products if there is any.

Same problem as the WNBA. There aren’t underpaid man, they get paid based on viewers etc. If people aren’t watching, you aren’t gonna get paid much. They are actually being paid what they are worth.
Clark is most definitely a superstar player. The change of pace with the big girls is the biggest hurdle for her. A few more games and she will be more in sync.
I’m all for camel face vs hairy 🐱 those 15 points from each “superstar” is gonna be awesome to watch when I’m done doing everything else that’s more entertaining or important
Hi, Mike..., I wish people would leave ( Caitlin Clark ) alone and let her play..., "Basketball." * Into the season..., we will know better, where Caitlin Clark is mentally, physically, and emotionally... * Great show and I am happy that I "Subscribed" to an excellent channel... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)
It took decades for the NBA to carch on with the public, fueled in a very large part to the Bird / Magic rivalry followed by His Airness. Perhaps Clark / Reece will be followed by an equally stratosperic women's player to Michael Jordan, solidifying the existence of the WNBA with similar popularity to other women's pro leagues around the world. Congratulations, Ladies and welcome to American popular culture
I think the guy was trying to get in the good graces of Clark, but ended up being unaware in the moment that it was just weird/'creepy. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
Are you serious on the pat bev thing bro? He literally doubled back to tell her to leave, like 6 different times in the middle of him talking to other people he stopped and then turned back to her and would push her mic away and tell her to get out of the area they were in
I’m all for respecting women. We live in an era where u can’t say anything without it being a problem…unless he’s attractive. If Jason Mamoa woulda said that to her it would be a completely different reaction 🤷🏽♂️
People don’t get it, professional sports is all about entertainment. You need the drama of Reece and Clark, even if there is no real bad blood between them. This sells tickets and gets people interested in the league. I will probably attend a game or two just to see them play and I have never even watched a complete game on TV. I like sports, men’s and women’s sports. I can get into MLB and college softball.
Angel Reese pulled in over 800k views her first game but the wnba hated on showing her first game for the “great white hope” smh. And ya wonder why the wnba’s growth been so slow. Also we see you mike staying on code for your kind you can’t fool the real

I guess the theory is the season goes up the more money it attracts and the more teams they get. Similar to the PWHL plans

WNBA median pay is on par with NHL median pay, and UFC median pay. You'd think these woman would appreciate that, rather than think they deserve as much as their male counterparts. Especially considering that if you look at it from purely a business perspective, it's failing.
UFC fighters get paid less
@@LaCream973 as well as more, but I said median pay, which according to Google the median pay in all 3 sports I mentioned are similar
There was a feud between retired Boxer and now promoter Oscar De Lahoya, comparing the pay of professional boxers and UFC fighters. Professional boxers make much more. Oscar told UFC fighters to come join him and get decent pay. That started the feud with UFC.
@@patrickhenry2845 yeah, ufc fighters are definitely getting shafted. There's a group that should be complaining, not wnba players 🤣
@brody6634 Dana White, CEO of UFC, didn't appreciate Oscar going on ESPN TV, telling his UFC fighters to leave him, and come to the Boxing world with him and make more money. However, I do believe that UFC is more popular today than semi pro and pro Boxing?
Just remember people, steph curry was almost traded to the bucks instead of monta ellis before he became a superstar🤷🏽♂️
Clark is fun to watch!! She is like the girls Steph Curry, she just can pull up from anywhere and make it! Reese is kind of boring on the court, however to her credit, off the court with her look, personality, and attitude, she does draw attention! Remember, throughout history in sports what turned the leagues into gaining national attention was player rivalries! The nba was on verge of collapse before bird and magics rivalry that started in college! Jordan against Magic, Bird, and Isiah! Then turned into Jordan against everyone Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Kemp,Olijiwan, Payton, Ewing, Starks, Miller, etc! Then Kobe, Shaq, Iverson, Lebron then Lebron, Steph, Durant, etc! In order to grow a league you need real rivalries! For the wnba nobody can think of one rivalry that stands out, ever! So they need Caitlyn and Reese to both do well and go at eachother! Two years in college they had prime time games and both lived up to the hype! So the wnba has to build up the hype and play off it and build that rivalry! If they cannot do that then the league will continue to fail! Even if Clark is great, nobody will continue to watch if they cannot create a rival for her
Don’t ever compare her to Steph
@@superthon7762 she shoots like Steph why wouldn’t I compare her to Steph? That’s what every ex and current nba players compare her to as well! lol 😂
Jemele Hill is a professional race baiter. She makes everything about race because that's the only way she stays relevant on Twitter.
She makes more than the average American man
It's amazing that you say ESPN said it was the most watched game ever like that's factual.
Espn.........
Come on mike.
As someone whos been watching womens basketball NCAA & @NBA....I tried to tell y'all 💩 is not sweet on the nect level!!!
Wait.. what? The reporter said he liked her hand-heart signal and wants her to do it at the press conferences?? thats it? Whats wrong with that??? Jesus H this world is so dumb
NCAA womans was better than mens this year… didn’t think i would ever… ever in a million years say that… still can’t believe it… but it was just electric to watch… CC is an absolute baller.
Them Indiana vs Chicago games will definitely be televised!😜
If you watch the full Pat Bev clip, he kept pushing her mic away and asked her to leave. That’s 100% malicious and petty and not cheeky at all
L.
I can't stand Jemele Hill. Always complaining about something, pay gap, mis*gyny or race. Can't just take a win and build on it. 🤦🏿♂
Naw, Mike. Bev definitely meant how it sounded. He later told her to get her mike out his face. Call it how it is bro.
Pat Bev wasn’t joking… he pushed the reporter’s mic away multiple times during the interview… yes he was being malicious… stop justifying this clown’s antics
Im icky of all the people defending Gregg Doyel like “what did he do wrong?” “It was out of context” “this was blown out of proportion” and “it’s a nothing burger” but If you did any research or knew anything about Gregg, then you’d know he has a lengthy history of being inappropriate.
I don’t see a problem,She has 26 million dollars.
From Nike. You know he was talking about players salaries and he was not singling out her salary. If you don’t know that then you are another one of those people who commented without watching the video.
@@fightsports66 it doesn’t matter what he was talking about.She has 26 million
I was watching to see lsu and south Carolina team she just was apart of it them two teams are the ncaa champions. I really started watching to see them play because they eas the ones that spark my interest.
He only asked her to send him the heart sign each time. He wasn't looking for anything.
Again, something blown out of proportion by the media.
You're obviously a creep too.
Mike, why did you not show the most important part of the PatBev clip? He keeps pushing her mic away and finally tells her she needs to leave and seriously makes her leave. I thought he was joking at first, but that ain't joking anymore!
When will the WNBA players understand that that it’s not only about being good on the court. People need to want to watch the games for them to get paid. They will not be able to cry themselves into being paid… In fact, that will put a lot of people off for watching them…
I think this proves more than anything why the NBA is so popular. The storylines. The focus on what goes on in the players' personal lives and a concentrated effort to release that type of content in volume. Simply put, you either need crazy athletic dunks/blocks or coverage on controversy. The NBA provides both of those and it translates. Idk where the $$ comes from in the WNBA but they should market better.
Gregg Doyel looks like he should be on To Catch A Predator SMH what a f'n CREEP!!!
why?
Because people are projecting
*WHAT ABOUT THE ACTUAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!* Does anyone care about the NFL conference championship game or the *SUPERBOWL!*
I love CC, the only reason I watch it. The coach for the fever, mark my words will eventually be replaced, she hampering Clark progress.
Better luck next season, Iowa fans. Sometimes, when you play against an S.E.C program, then you get dropped like a nobody
Mike you should make a skip option for that prize pick nonsense!
Running into problems where? Stop it
So you’re telling me that other female basketball player only got a deal because she’s black and they cried she didn’t have a deal yet?….. ayooooo wtf is this world? Talk about privilege.
The interaction between Caitlin Clark and the reporter was just creepy. They made the right call suspending the reporter.
I agree I just don’t know if a suspension was necessary. Maybe just a tongue lashing from his boss?
The reporter showed no respect to the player. Thats unacceptable.
Can we stop talking about the wnba and let the ladies only talk about it … let them build a buzz and build up viewership… the product it boring and this Clark chick ain’t dunking or making the league exciting…’stop simping for this women let them handle this
The game between Iowa and LSU this year was not in the Final Four; it was in the Elite Eight.
She’s the only reason the wnba is relevant
cap
The LSU-Iowa game this year was not in the final four, it was the Elite 8 in Albany. Iowa beat UConn in the final 4 and lost to South Carolina in the final
Hate to say it but the Clark hype peaked in the tournament now it's all downhill from here
I would say her hype peaked when she got 20 million from Nike! So either way she won! I hope she plays out her contract and goes oversees to a league that will appreciate the viewership she brings! Jealous current and ex players and certain fans 😉 are mad that she got the bag and is the most famous woman’s player in history! I love it and I hope the broke players and ex players keep the tears flowing! Lmao 😂
Hype peak? Who cares she's still doing the exact same thing at a higher level. Kids care more about internet clicks than actually basketball.
@@DaNxYsmells007I was saying in the aspect nobody watches the wnba regardless so people would actually have to watch the other teams which I highly doubt it
@kburrell81 🤣🤣🤣 who tf watches every team? Bro if you watch all 32 nfl teams or all 30 NFL teams get some help.
Sure it is the Clark Hype has got Caitlin a 28 million dollar shoe deal with Nike it got Aja Wilson her deal with Gatorade Caitlin has got the Wnba chartered flights so saying the Caitlin Effect has peaked is nothing farther from the truth Every Game Caitlin plays in Home and away is or will be sold out her Fever Jersey sold out in a hour Caitlin has done more for the Wnba then anyone person or persons ever has and it's only going to get better
The wnba will never have the talent the nba has. This is just facts.
0:21 is perfect 😂 very accurate
She should have joined the pistons ong
Hey, you have minority viewers. We were here for Angel Reese etc, not Clark. F Clark claiming a record she didn’t break.
Can we talk about her lonzo ball jump shot & the extremely manly jawline
Mannnnnnnly!!!!!
jealous much?
I like how you're giving all this praise to Katy Clark, like Angel Reese not helping with this WNBA popularity😂
Caitlin has to score 30pts plus per game to keep the fans coming! The Fever averaged only 4,000 spectators per game last season! Her problems will be her off court sponsor demands. WNBA averages only 7,300 per game! The WNBA loses more than $10 million annually for a 6 month season! Maximising the Clark effect is critical to WNBA success on and off the court.
Safe take: Fever vs. Sky will be the next big rivalry. Sky not only has Angel Reese, but also the Cardosa kid from South Carolina.
Not a problem, resistance will make you look good. Play ball, that's what you do
Yeah the Doyel thing was blown out of proportion. I thought he made some really weird sign judging by everybody else's reaction and not to mention he did sound very nervous to talk to her lmao.
When they were listing the Nike Shoe Signature Brands I heard... Caitlyn Clark, who?, who?, who?
CAITLIN
@@chhansen9813 Thanks Mrs Helper. let me guess ... the C in CHHansen stands for Caren?
I do agree with you these punishments are too extreme. They’re rude if it anything else but they are really extreme! And I believe maybe this is a good example of how Gen X or boomers feel about how woke media tries try to cancel everything without giving it further clarification …….. and unfortunately it’s not just the people that you cancel. I have to suffer. It’s the people around them as well……..
As a track athlete. Track athletes are actually underpaid the it’s literally one of the hardest sport to train for.
Why do you people in TRACK think you deserve more MONEY. First there is no MARKET that buys any TRACK and FIELD Products if there is any. Who are FACES of TRACK and FIELD to sell MERCHANDISE ,and what would be their MERCHANDISE?. Oh SPIKES and what? That is why no MAJOR Companies INVEST in TRACK and Field. It is only available, and IMPORTANT to see every FOUR years. Other Sports are available to see on a yearly BASIS. Diamond League and the REST of Monetary MEETS are RUN by None Profits GROUPS.
How hard you train has no bearing on pay. It's about revenue, and how does track and field generate any revenue? It's rarely on TV, and I have never met anyone who bought a track and field jersey.
@@Shine13373 that’s because the system is f**ked up. Idk why on earth usatf does allow anyone to buy country’s track gear over a period of time and stuff like that.
@@Live-LifE7825 good point from sales perspective and you can’t complete like that daily and weekly cause track is one of those sports where you push your body pass every limit possible if it was you would get injured real quick. So yes by your point they would need to fine a way to better market the sport. I always preach that the markets sucks
Same problem as the WNBA. There aren’t underpaid man, they get paid based on viewers etc. If people aren’t watching, you aren’t gonna get paid much. They are actually being paid what they are worth.
Reese vs Clark rivalry is the Bird vs Magic 2.0, just getting ready for Air Jordan (Makiah Bryant) when she gets to that point
Clark is most definitely a superstar player. The change of pace with the big girls is the biggest hurdle for her. A few more games and she will be more in sync.
I’m all for camel face vs hairy 🐱 those 15 points from each “superstar” is gonna be awesome to watch when I’m done doing everything else that’s more entertaining or important
Hi, Mike..., I wish people would leave ( Caitlin Clark ) alone and let her play..., "Basketball." * Into the season..., we will know better, where Caitlin Clark is mentally, physically, and emotionally... * Great show and I am happy that I "Subscribed" to an excellent channel... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)
But she not Winning
She look like Larry Bird.
They players and league brass don't want CC to make an impact, they want to make an example of her.
I've been watching women's college basketball for years....I remember Dawn Staley at Virginia.
If Beverly was joking, he wouldn't have doubled down his rude behavior by asking her to move just for holding the microphone close to him.
Who actually watches the WNBA consistently? The answer is very few people in the USA, and no one internationally.
🤣🤣🤣 dude you know nothing. I swear lil dudes never seen a girl in his life because he acts like they don't exist.
Okay clown!
We dont know that wilson girl so nobody will buy the shoe. Does that woman have any idea about how money is made?
She plays no defense
You mean, can't play defense. They don't care about that.
It took decades for the NBA to carch on with the public, fueled in a very large part to the Bird / Magic rivalry followed by His Airness. Perhaps Clark / Reece will be followed by an equally stratosperic women's player to Michael Jordan, solidifying the existence of the WNBA with similar popularity to other women's pro leagues around the world. Congratulations, Ladies and welcome to American popular culture
Respect for this video. Sad it still prehistoric men mad at this .......
What time does your valet parking shift star?
Caitlin Clark and her family was very uncomfortable from Greggs comments, Gregg said that on his article
How do you figure Pat Bev was making a joke when like a minute after that clip you showed he kicked the woman out?
shocking take on pat bev, dude is a menace to society....you can see him force the mic out of his way so she can't catch his statements.
0:22 I love this joke😂😂
Edit: Mike, Mike, Mike, do not EVER compare Wemby to Clark ever again. Wemby would make her retire😭😭😂😂😂🤣🤣
I think the guy was trying to get in the good graces of Clark, but ended up being unaware in the moment that it was just weird/'creepy. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
Are you serious on the pat bev thing bro? He literally doubled back to tell her to leave, like 6 different times in the middle of him talking to other people he stopped and then turned back to her and would push her mic away and tell her to get out of the area they were in
IOWA LOSES BUT GET THE ACCLAIM THE DESURVENT PLAYERS WHO WON ARE NOT GETTING. MEANWHILE CLARK, THE MODERN DAY GRATE WHITE HYPE, FAILS BUT GETS PRAISE.
Youre a top shelf clown! CC broke or set every single womens NCAA record AND some mens NCAA records!
I’m all for respecting women. We live in an era where u can’t say anything without it being a problem…unless he’s attractive. If Jason Mamoa woulda said that to her it would be a completely different reaction 🤷🏽♂️
THe Fever needs to step up the pace, Clark isn't the issue.
WNBA just got there magic and bird in Clarke and Reese
their
The WNBA is one of a few leagues that hasn’t realized that complaining about pay doesn’t get people watching the WNBA.
Neither does kneeling for the anthem!
People don’t get it, professional sports is all about entertainment. You need the drama of Reece and Clark, even if there is no real bad blood between them. This sells tickets and gets people interested in the league. I will probably attend a game or two just to see them play and I have never even watched a complete game on TV. I like sports, men’s and women’s sports. I can get into MLB and college softball.
Angel Reese pulled in over 800k views her first game but the wnba hated on showing her first game for the “great white hope” smh. And ya wonder why the wnba’s growth been so slow. Also we see you mike staying on code for your kind you can’t fool the real
