    It's so sad to see CC getting so much hate from every single direction.. And for what? Wanting to play the game she loves like all the other players? For being white? This is the kind of bullying that causes people to take their own lives and its only escalating. Went from taunts to knocking her to the ground, to literally trying to take out her eye.. Like, that's insane. I hope she stays strong and doesn't let it get to her and hope it never causes her to have suicidal thoughts

      WHat I hate most is how VERY BAD the referees whistle. I am an old Dutch competition basketball referee and I am baffled by the faul plays that are not whistled for. I mean they're not playing rugby!

      Suicidal thoughts ????????????? That's really being melodramatic. She was disappointed with her year, and with the way the league, players and refs treated her sure, so was I, but Suicide ? That's really ridiculous, she's just starting her career and it's bright.

      @@jlsc4125 well she had a very successful year, broke over 60 records including all WNBA records. I'm sure she is disappointed with the level of vicious attacks, 17% of all called flagrant fouls were against her that's not including the ones not called of which there were several. I am sure she expected some hazing as a rookie but what happened was way beyond hazing and exposed to the world why the WNBA is and has been a trash league for decades.

    If Nike drops Clark for Wilson then it is racist. I wish she would just pack it up and go play in the European League. I would really hate that but that's what the WNBA deserves to happen. Or maybe she could go play in the 3 on 3 league. She was already offered 10 million to play 3 on 3.

  • @jlsc4125

    It's sad that the W gave Aja the MVP, she's certainly not deserving of it again. She's far from the Most Valuable player to the league. She certainly is the most valuable on her team, but it's not a team award, it's a league award and there is no doubt that when it comes to value, CC blows everyone else away.

    Nike’s blatant disregard for Caitlin Clark’s extraordinary impact on the WNBA is nothing short of a monumental failure.
    Despite her ability to triple viewership and drive substantial revenue,
    Nike remains shackled by unfounded fears of backlash from a segment of the league that resents her meteoric rise.
    Their preference for A'ja Wilson over Clark for a signature shoe is not just perplexing;
    it’s a colossal miscalculation that overlooks the undeniable demand for Clark's brand.
    By sidelining her, Nike is squandering a historic opportunity to align with a game-changing athlete who is reshaping the landscape of women's basketball.

    In these crazy and troubled times, one might be looking for a safe bet. Or maybe a sure thing? Let's
    look at the analytics. (Stats) Clark is consistent and stable. That's a very good base. Her fans, aka
    the money, or the "Effect" are overwhelming in numbers. Hmm. Some might say, Drop it Like it's Hot,
    or You Snooze, You Lose! Nike? Ssshhh. they're sleeping. [another hint = Colt's game]
