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.
Nike sound a little like ESPN in their attitude toward CC. They are missing a huge opportunity to capitalize on the CC effect by not putting out CC signature shoes.
I believe Nike recently hired a new CEO, a seasoned executive with excellent history with Nike. Nike’s stock price surged with the news. I believe we can expect changes in the company, including focusing on Caitlin Clark marketing strategies 👍
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.
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.
As a man looking in, I say CC get a male sponsor hit the weight room and subdue the fkn WNBA into submission. The best rule in the wild with an iron fist just ask Lebron, Kobe,MJ, Magic,Bird ect...
They should because it will affect their bottom line......she should sue for breach of contract then once contract is cancelled sign with their competitor.
Let me get this straight, General Motors can produce dozens of new cars every year and Nike can't bring out more than 1 new shoe a year? Something smells fishy in this excuse.
Does she care? I suspect she is quite happy to play in NBA and enjoy. Stop politicizing women and let her raise this as an issue, if she feels it is necessary. She is a lovely, humble women, leave it that way, please.
So the truly intolerant claim the tolerant are intolerant and exert massive intolerance all the while calling response to their intolerance as proof of intolerance against them. Have a problem with an attempted blinding?? Well that’s intolerance. Have a problem with no-calls or most flagrants in the league directed at a single player. Proof of more intolerance!
Let Adidas make a shoe and print endorsed by Catlin printed on it. Pay Clark or the endorse and not the shoe. Does Nike have the spine to sue Catlin....NO
Sad to state the truth, but if all this assault was happening to a black woman, heads would be rolling; protests would be rampant and noise would be heard all around the world. Nike would be on their knees asking forgiveness for their cowardness. Unprofessional. No more Nike for me.
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]
Okay, racism, sexual preferences, plain old jealousy---- BLINDING jealousy. Why is it that nobody in charge sticks up for Caitlin Clark, who keeps her mouth shut and plays the game. Dignity. Maybe it IS racism, sexual preference and plain old jealousy. Talk me down because I don't get what's the deep down here.
I don't think CC cares if they make 100 or 0 ads for her... CC still gets paid either way... So who cares if Nike decides to just throw away their money? I honestly don't see an issue here???
Hey Super star??🤣 Seeing you don't care about title 9..🤢Why not take your super star team, go play national boys high school champs?? And see if you change your mind,or lack of it😭😭💔🙏
Why doesn't she just dump NIKE for getting her signature but not doing a stitch to promote her ??!! Let her just walk over to ADIDAS who will unleash her products onto the Market virtually overnight . Her millions of fans in America alone will snatch up her stuff. NIKE may not realise what a major blunder they have made over this in which case the Sacred Cow is somewhat overweight . Empires come and go. Maybe its NIKE's turn.....and Why TF not ?!

Had she be black or a member of the rainbow community be sure that this wouldn't be happenining. It's anti white racism and heterophobia.

@@skyboss1184 Don't buy it. She's knows she's loved, a look at her bank account is all she needs to know she's appreciated.
Done with Nike
TO BE COMPETITIVE, RELEASE BOTH AT SAME TIME, HIGHEST SALE DETERMINES REAL STARHOOPER😊
Drop Nike,deal with Under Armour!😂😂😂
Release CC's shoes. They are guaranteed a sell out. Not interested in AJA Wilson's shoes.
Nike signed her to prevent other company from using her to beat Nike
Why not release both shoes and let sales speak for themselves.
Because that would actually make sense
@@Gmalife lol I hear ya,
They don’t like what would be said.
If Nike treated a black player as they have Caitlin there would be protests and calls for boycotting!
Nike will learn the hard way.
Nike sound a little like ESPN in their attitude toward CC. They are missing a huge opportunity to capitalize on the CC effect by not putting out CC signature shoes.
This goes beyond reasonable
Huge miss and I'll be selling my stock
@krazeplumber13 Of course you will, haha
Well NO MORE NIKE stuff 4 me...MAYBE NIKE need's to Boycotted also....Let's C how much power they have when the $$ rolling in slow's way down...
@RonBryan-pv2lf Haha spoken like a 🤡
I believe Nike recently hired a new CEO, a seasoned executive with excellent history with Nike. Nike’s stock price surged with the news. I believe we can expect changes in the company, including focusing on Caitlin Clark marketing strategies 👍
Seriously?!?? I think we’ll all believe it when we fully see it. By that time Nike will be banned by millions.
Caitlin needs to divorce Woke Nike!!
UNDER ARMOUR and Caitlin Clark!!! Nike fumbled the bag with Curry too.
Nike has always sucked .

@jlsc4125 Just curious, do you clarkie Groupies get membership cards. If so, I want in
@@billiestevens318 Don't worry, the anger Reese shoe is coming out even sooner; the onIy problem is they onIy get you part way through the season.
@@billiestevens318 So are you against anyone that appreciates talent ?
how to not take advantage of your best investment. The CEO should get fired for ignoring this opportunity
@michaelprozonic Best investment? It’s girls hoops, probably their smallest investment.

As they Should. Nike should Shove it. Well Done Rocket Scientist Nike
Nike wrong for this
Caitlin is a inspiration. Everyone should love her!!!
Fools never learn 😊
I left Nike a long time ago. I like my UA stuff just fine!
They should because it will affect their bottom line......she should sue for breach of contract then once contract is cancelled sign with their competitor.
I have never bought a piece of sports memorabilia, but I would have ordered a pair of CC Nikes.
Let me get this straight, General Motors can produce dozens of new cars every year and Nike can't bring out more than 1 new shoe a year? Something smells fishy in this excuse.
That how woke Nike is paying somebody 28 million to do nothing, very smart
One cautionary rule to follow… if a brand puts out more advertisements around a shoe, it's probably not that good.
WNBA hit the self-destruct button with how they have treated Clark.
I wish Nike would just go away...
Does she care? I suspect she is quite happy to play in NBA and enjoy. Stop politicizing women and let her raise this as an issue, if she feels it is necessary. She is a lovely, humble women, leave it that way, please.

Just say NO to Nike
She's making tens of millions of dollars at the age of 22. Where's the problem?
She is not being given the respect she is due.
I haven't bought Nike in years. Too involved in politics. C.C. should ditch the WNBA and Nike.
Bet you could make 2 shoes in a year ????
@@eugenefleming1614 😂
It wouldn’t look good if CC shoes outsold Wilson’s. And of course…..they would….
Let Adidas make a shoe and print endorsed by Catlin printed on it. Pay Clark or the endorse and not the shoe. Does Nike have the spine to sue Catlin....NO
Attention ALL CC 22 FANS!...STOP BUYING AND WEARING ANYTHING NIKE! AND WRITE NIKE AND TELL THEM SO.
Sad to state the truth, but if all this assault was happening to a black woman, heads would be rolling; protests would be rampant and noise would be heard all around the world. Nike would be on their knees asking forgiveness for their cowardness. Unprofessional. No more Nike for me.

Have not bought Nike stuff in years...Boycott them folks...just a woke company that needs to disappear...!
I don’t think Catlin cares as much as her fans do about those things. That’s why things are getting toxic between fans and other players.
Who would actually want to play in a pissed off lesbian league
Money is out of the picture main cause NIKE breaking her shoe's that we would have bought, now no NIKE anything....poor WOKE.
I'm giving my Nike to my dog to chew on. Never again will I buy Nike. Time to buy Under Armour and Addidas.
The world is giving CC her flowers even if WNBA won’t!!!🤨
Do not buy Nike stocks ...
The major stock holders are "shorting" the stock ... A lot of investors are going to get hurt ...
America's Sweet ❤️ heart CC
Boycott!
Where is Caitlin shoes? I am ready to buy!!!!
🙏🏿 SHE'S STILL GETTING PAID💲28 MILLION WHAT'S THE PROBLEM !! 💲💲💲💯💪🏿💯✊🏿
Exactly right. With 28 million she has it made. She will star, sign autographs for adoring fans, and have an awesome career.
Hmm. Diversity, equity, and inclusion. Just words. Just as I thought.
Nike CEO should be fired.
nike is waiting to see if Clark does any thing good. They are pathetic!
Its better release both their signature shoes.
Another fatal business mistake...tanking share prices, clever🤪🤯🤡🤯🤪🤮
I have never heard of that other woman.
Sorry Nike - no sales here.
Okay, racism, sexual preferences, plain old jealousy---- BLINDING jealousy. Why is it that nobody in charge sticks up for Caitlin Clark, who keeps her mouth shut and plays the game. Dignity.

My wife and I buy Nikes every year I guess not anymore
I don't think CC cares if they make 100 or 0 ads for her...

So who cares if Nike decides to just throw away their money?
I honestly don't see an issue here???
Buy adidas
really old news

Who needs Nikkey
Nike can stick their shoes and all the other garbage they know where
