Regarding Caitlin Clark- Okay… I have tried to get the word out on how Adam Silver (NBA Commissioner) and Cathy Engelbert (WNBA Commissioner) colluded with Nike to screw over Caitlin Clark. Given the current state of affairs in the NBA (viewership is in the toilet), I am making the following prognostications. 1) Silver has been fanatical in his obsession with DEI and mostly the LGBTQ+ part. In his haste, he forgot do his real job and the problems facing the NBA are a result of his poor leadership. He needs a win. Caitlin Clark can give him this but… 2) Expect Silver to reach out to Nike and drop his insistence that Nike not promote Clark. 3) Expect Elliot Hill CEO at Nike to make grandiose apology to Clark and her fans and blame his predecessor for the terrible things Nike did to Clark. This is crap. Elliot Hill took over at Nike months ago and it was business as usual. But Nike desperately needs a win and quickly. Hill is not the solution, he is part of the problem. 4) Silver will begin promoting Clark as per the LPGA and other sponsors of Clark. She is bigger than the NBA. Silver in his DEI inspired delusion missed this entirely. Part of the NBA’s downward spiral is Silver’s DEI crap. People do not like it. 5) Silver will throw Cathy Engelbert under the bus. He needs to deflect the blame for the WNBA’s 40 million dollar loss. He will blame this on Engelbert. Engelbert created a toxic environment in the WNBA. Watch the fallout of Engelbert’s demise as all the Clark haters in the WNBA turn on Englebert to save their own asses. 6) Sheryl Swoops broadcasting career is over. Her next job? She will be employed as a greeter at Walmart where her racial bias will result in every white person leaving the store having their receipts checked.
