Reacting to WNBA Superstar A' ja Wilson saying what everyone else knows and why it doesn't matter except for this reason. #wnba #sports #entertainment #caitlinclark
She's the new Taylor Swift...America saw this poor white angel get "bullied" by a black person on a national stage and in response will stop at nothing to elevate her to the top. Look how Angel(Kanye) is already being downplayed by the mainstream media despite being the most decorated player in her draft class. We've seen this before and will sadly see it again if we don't become the biggest supporters of our own.
Its about money and popularity. Since you don't watch the WNBA i can tell you there's a lot of great white players. Sue Bird is white and considered one of the best female players of all time have 4 wnbatitles, five Olympic gold, 2 ncaa but was not getting all those deals. Clark wnba shirt sold in record number even when compared to male sports, her first game and second game is already sold out. When her shoes come out all these white people will buy it for their daughter. Do you guy think that many black parents will be buying Aj shoes. Aj never sold out any game. At the end of the day people like to see people that look like them succeed in something. Who have the most money to spend in America upper middle and rich white man they will be buying her merch like crazy thats why she getting these deal and all the other white players are not.
@@johntruxal432 STFU... You sound like a fool, you the type of person who would say if we don't talk about cancer it would go away, well just like cancer won't go away racism won't either!
@@johntruxal432the deal came because of the backlash Nike received after offering a deal to Caitlin Clark who hasn’t won anything. Based on A’ja resume she should have had that deal a long time ago.
@@stevelumumbashabazzz5087 that's odd since bleacher report and other outlets say nike has been working with aja the liar on her shoe since last season...
It is about race. Only coward and liars, say it's not about race. This country were built on the on the backs, native Americans and black people. When Iowa lost against LSU last year. Jill Biden, wanted to invite them to the White House. Iowa lost to South Carolina this year and were invited to SNL. Etc....... Caitlin Clark is The Great White Hope
Did it matter that Jordan and Tiger were black and got better deals than Bird or Jovic? Clark is popular because as Shaq said she is the best woman’s college player of all time and Curry said she shoots better than him! She set all time records while hitting Logo 3’s. No one else did that. The Athletic magazine had an article showing that Caitlin had a better shooting percentage than Curry from beyond 30’. Amazing stuff like that gets attention. If she were black or Asian or mixed, she’d get the same attention. It’s not color, it’s skills. No one watched Diana Taurasi who is great, won MVP’s and is white. Same with Sue Bird. Same with Breanna Stewart. If your position was right those players would have brought the attention Clark has years before because they are great white players. But they didn’t because they don’t have Clark’s skills, records and Logo 3. Case closed.
Clark got more popular when she had the incident with Reese. White middle America crowed Clark the best female player ever which is false. But both things can be true…Clark is good player and Clark is super popular because she IS white.
They still don't just those 2 games.... Prior teams have tried but the W fined 1 owner saying if all teams can't have PJs no team can. Sports strange to me like hollyweird
They should've told her thanks for everything..then showed her on the court who's really running things over here as they been doing. 2-10 "WE ALL KNOW IT'S A 🏁THING" BUT IT'S ABOUT THIS 🏆AT THE END. CLARK FANS CAN'T STOP THIS💯
Good Black Magic, Melo My Mannnn!.... Keep on doin' your Thang Thizzle My Nizzle! Keep talking, the real truth and nothing else but the Truth Brody! Bigggg Ups 2 U! 😊!....
Caitlin Clark isn’t Larry Bird. She hasn’t won anything. So hope sells and manipulates. She is the hero in a movie with no stars. Aja has won. She just the wrong color. God bless you all.
Actually, I would not be surprised that she is Larry Bird. Boys shouldn't be playing against girls, and it will come to light! They are pushing this trans thing hard! Wait and see!!
Larry Bird never won a national championship! Coming to the NBA he never won anything neither! She hasn't played a professional game yet.. and she's getting all this Buzz! I think it's fantastic and black people that watch the WNBA and all the players should be grateful with all the exposure the WNBA is getting
It’s about race, and the SUPPORT said race supporting their own with their dollar. I said this at the time of the show deal, Nike already KNOWS that CC supporters will buy that shoe. Talking about it won’t make it go away either. The thing is this, we’ve been talking about it since forever, other groups they hear it, know it and understand it so well, they continue to support their own. Which, it seems, that “we” have an issue with. We know the rules of engagement and refuse to follow them, we just wanna talk about it… Once they admit it… Then what ?
It can be about race, but some choose to be victims and don’t realize that it is a good thing for everyone because it draws eyes. Relative example would be Tiger Woods.
And look what Tiger woods went through… Sergio Garcia said “ we will feed Tiger Fried chicken” Fuzzy Zeller said “ I hope he doesn’t feed us fried chicken , greens or whatever they eat at the Masters dinner. Tiger woods is a winner. He raised the Tv views, players got paid more money, and he won major after major. CC hasn’t won anything. That’s the problem !
Let's be real. She is a great player but don't get it confused. " She is the " Great White Avenger " to the Clear Folks. Lets not forget the John Cena , " You can't see me outrage " awile ago . Let that sink in and tell me that race doesn't matter. I'll wait........ Ok proceed,lol
It never happened stop buying the lie, KVL even said it never happened. Clark’s jesture was to her strength coach. Research what you talk about instead of sounding ignorant and making a fool out of yourself.
I guess race had no factor in the Chinese people voting for Yao Ming to start over Shaq in the all star game in the 2000s. It was all because of Yao Ming being the better player. Sure it was. People need to stopnwith the BS when it comes to race discussions when it comes to us. If there is a crime or something negative that happens and it is a Black person you already know the words or phrases "thug", "raised by a single mother", "no father in the home", "ghetto", or "black on black crime" will be used. Arnold Swartzneggar, Jerry Jones and Bill Clinton all have side babies and outside kids and none of them will be referred to as "baby daddies" and none of the women will be covered as "baby mamas". Everything in this society is seen through the prism of race.
Definitely some of it is race but I don't think its as big of a factor as people make it out to be. If Caitlin Clark played for UCONN a traditionally dominant basketball program , was a center who just shot hook shots but still put up the same amount of points and was a tattoo'd lesbian from California I don't think her popularity would be where its at today. Her style of play and the fact she carries a lesser program on her back fuels her popularity big time
that's true, but one thing the other stars like A'ja, Reese, Cardoso, Pili, got is they are very attractive and beautiful along with being a baller. Clark she gots everything including sponsors etc, except she don't got the looks.
Let's supprt Aja. Buy her merchandise. Pave the way for the next sister. I live in Las Vegas. I enjoy and congratulate the Aces for their two. But I'm a born and raised Chicagoan. And we've got Chitown Barbie. Holla. But I'm for the black race before everything else. So I will buy something with Aja's name on it. And of course, Chitown Barbie (aka Ms. Angel Reese). I'm looking forward to this WNBA season. Give it up to Caitlyn. She can't be ignored. It starts tomorrow. I see you Ms. Cardoso. ENJOY.
The saddest thing is seeing people conditioned to think everything is about race and dei topics instead of learning what it takes to be at the top of any profession. Logic - set aside Caitlin Clark for the moment - Look at the attendance history for the Connecticut Sun. They never ever sell out, nobody cares about the WNBA in connecticut. Now why is this important? The biggest Monopoly of high school talent has been Yukon for years, with the majority of players cited as greatest having gone through that program. Still the WNBA team from the same state has almost zero following... Why does the Connecticut WNBA have no following? Simply put most professional stars have to build their Legend in college. But on teams like Yukon All of the Stars cluster together, and just like the night sky you can't see a single star shine if it's completely surrounded by other stars. Simply put Yukon fails to create Stars so when they go to the WNBA nobody cares. South Carolina is the new uconn, they lose five five star players and they get five more five star players from the next class, that's 25% of the five stars for an association of 350 D1 teams. Then South Carolina goes on to buzz saw through the league and turn the championship game into a travesty. Nobody likes monopolies because they kill sport, and nobody except homers is excited about players on Monopoly teams. If Asia Wilson had wanted to be a star she should have not played on a monopoly team. The same thing for Paige Buecker's, if she wanted to be a bigger star she could have gone to Minnesota. Instead she chose to join a front-runner. This is not complex logic. If somebody wants to be a star in college they have to choose a path that will enable them to build their own Legend. If players failed to do that in college they probably will not be superstars in the pros. Caitlin Clark is the only top level five star who had the courage Tupac the Monopoly system. She also smartly stay loyal to the strongest fan base for women's basketball in the country, look it up, it's history. The rest of it is noise, nobody is denying that people see race or skin color, but they keep throwing out these blanket phrases such as "it's all about"... So when people do that they are actually invalidating themselves as an authority to talk about the racial things that actually are real. No other player has shot the ball like Clark and no other player has set all the records that Clark set, and no other player has brought a team so lowly ranked in terms of talent so far two years in a row. No other player ever. She also did this with good character and although she doesn't advertise it she's very big and charity which we in Iowa know about and respect her for. Instead of throwing jabs at Clark the smart thing to do would be to learn from her example. Will that happen? It doesn't look like it. The next generation of girls aren't out trying to build their own Legend on their own teams but are all clamoring to join South carolina, uconn, and a couple of other to build super teams. They're all going to bury their own light, and this hurts all of the young women athletes, young black women included. Give them better advice than to get caught up in this race blame. Encourage them to apply basic logic to their decisions such as those that will provide them the best mentorship, the best exposure, the best platform to shine from, and the best fanbase. Send us the best black girl player in the country to Iowa and I guarantee you that we will sell out the arena for her and we will follow her for her entire career and to the pros just like we will for Hannah Stuelke.
It maybe, but she cannot prove it. Caitlin Clark is a great athlete, who is currently selling out arenas and merchandise. She is bringing money and more fans to the WNBA. When has an arena been sold out to see A;ja Wilson?, because that is the what the for. Many people do not know who she is. Angel Reese is also selling more tickets than her and she is not YT. These youngsters are changing the WNBA for the better. That is the reason A'ja Wilson and the rest of the old has beens are being pushed aside. Until now, that WNBA has been in a rapid decline
BECAUSE HISTORY HAS BEEN PROVEN, JUST LIKE JACK JOHNSON, THEM WHITE DEVILS SUPPORTED WHO,WITH THIS TRANSFORMER CC!IT'S THE SAME GOTDAM!!THINGS MUTHAFUKKAS!!!!!!
First of all aja Wilson is not old shes only 27 years old and has accomplished more in a short time in the wnba than any other player in history of the league shes beautiful and has personality and it all started in college Clark and Paige and non defense playing Sabrina inonescu are all media assisted why couldn't the media get behind Wilson with all of her accomplishments being so young .and y'all Wonder why folks say the great white hope
@@anthonytaylor7928Because nobody cares to watch Aja Wilson regardless of her accomplishments in a failing league she can be good all she wants but everybody not must watch and it’s a shame y’all try to act like CC isn’t must watch tv she plays the game more like men do and can shoot better than most men can from range! That’s the reason she gets what she does cause she’s box office not cause she’s white! So if what your saying is true why haven’t they given any other white girl threw all these years anything close to CC GOT
Aja has a statue of her in front of the college arena where she played at South Carolina. Her Nevada Aces team played an exhibition game in Columbia, SC this past weekend. The 18,500 capacity arena was almost packed to see her!
@@anthonytaylor7928 it’s not Clark’s fault 90% of America doesn’t know who she is, black hate for her is ignorance. Caitlin is not your enemy, grow up!
Nah, for you guys it's always about race. To everyone else it's about her talent. I can guarantee Mrs Wilson would have a totally different opinion of her if she was "Candice" Clark with a Nigerian family heritage. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it if a white person said "The only reason the Williams sisters are so popular in tennis is because they're black" right? Sounds kinda racist right? Now you see how hypocritical this is.....
They should just let her shoot uncontested 3s all night?!? Yeah, ok. Caitlin fans stuck on that “participation trophy” mentality. This ain’t it. She’s in the big league now!
Its about money and popularity. Since you don't watch the WNBA i can tell you there's a lot of great white players. Sue Bird is white and considered one of the best female players of all time have 4 wnbatitles, five Olympic gold, 2 ncaa but was not getting all those deals. Clark wnba shirt sold in record number even when compared to male sports, her first game and second game is already sold out. When her shoes come out all these white people will buy it for their daughter. Do you guy think that many black parents will be buying Aj shoes. Aj never sold out any game. At the end of the day people like to see people that look like them succeed in something. Who have the most money to spend in America upper middle and rich white man they will be buying her merch like crazy thats why she getting these deal and all the other white players are not.
It is about race and she is benefiting from it but honestly it's not her fault 😂. Not saying they/you are saying that. Just don't want to see hate/shade thrown at her because of it. Is it fair no it never is but we got to start somewhere.
Race probably does matter but I will make a few points: people a confusing the popularity of CC and March Madness, Her games in MM got 18 million viewers. Her Pro games got at best 2.4 million and lost 700 thousand by her second game. She was popular because she shot deep 3's and scored 30-40 points per game at Iowa. people want to see her do that in the pros...she ain't. If she continues to play below average like she is then ratings will continue to drop. People watched her in college for the spectacle. She is not providing that in the pros. There is no fun in watching her score 20 or worse yet 8 pts. If she does not step it up, the predicted boom of the W could be over by June. Nothing about the ratings/attendance of the other 11 teams is any better than past seasons.
A'ja has a rough face. Now, you can add a bunch of pc buzz words and fancy phrases designed to make people feel some type of way. But, A'ja has what casting directors call a "horse jaw". That's a hard widget to trade in the market place.
Lol. Hell no. There are some cute girls in the WNBA, but CC ain't one of them. All the makeup in the world can't help me unsee, and then she has the body of a 15 year old boy. At least the other women have female parts that we can see.
Say what you want race is in everything. Sport is about support, viewership and money. Yao Ming got voted into the all-star games over Shaq because Asians where supporting him. People will support and want people that look like them to succeed. And who has more money to spend in america upper middle class and rich white men. Which shoe and merch are they more likely to buy for their girl Clark or Aj . Who was crushing it when it come to viewership and pulling numbers never seen before in female sports. Lets not act like she got the deal for no reason. When her shoe is out a lot of white people will be buying it for their kid i cant say the same for AJ when it come to black parents
Its not about race except to some black people and liberal reporters. There have already been top european players in the college and the WNBA but none of them became famous just like none of the Black players became famous.
She should have took the BIG3 deal and screwed all of them. She brings eyes and money to the sport stop hating BLACK people don’t have to be the best at everything not saying she is now because she is not.
@@everytruckingthingyouneed and it’s not about being fouled shit play hard she don’t get a pass but being targeted nah I don’t see dudes doing that because they won’t be jealous of her.
A'ja Wilson is a great player, but to say Caitlin Clark's success and endorsements are because she's white is wrong. There have been other great white players before Caitlin Clark and they didn't generate the excitement and attention like her. She's the NCAA'S all time leading scorer. She puts fans in the seats. Look at the Indiana Fever attendance since she's joined the team. All of that matters when you talk marketing and endorsements. People will tune in to see Caitlin play. People don't run home to see A,ja Wilson.
That she balanced out the racism by calling it out and getting her long overdue deal I'm motion because of it. You have to applaud that she took action and capitalized. 👏
Race aside..that dude Clark is average at best. 12 pts. in 3 qtrs. in the Natty, can't handle full court pressure defense. After dude scored 18 against those girls in the 1 qtr., dude was a non-factor. So stop the madness!!
@@edubb1luv100 Lol ...And she's making more than any one of your girls ..She sold more jerseys than the whole history of every player in the WNBA lmao. Stay mad kid
@@edubb1luv100 Yeah...because white people route for white players...like blk people route for black players. You like Jokic? Or you gonna be Kendrick Perkins? Exactly
Its been said a million times they have to play the victim.. it boils her blood she should be thankful ?! But they are angry go to the airport tomorrow.. look for a wig and long eyelashes ( fake )
@@user-cs1pi8zg1n how long you been in this country? You know as soon as you point out yt people's BS. They're going to say you are playing the victim and how grateful you should be for there BS.
Shit ain’t about race in this case, it’s about jealous women with a false sense of entitlement. Clark got the league buzzin whether you wanna see her win/fail and she actually gives people what they want to see. Wilson is the best player in the league but that didn’t translate more viewers. These new girls are bringing viewers of course businesses are gonna capitalize. Haters just wanna make it about race
Nobody came to watch the black players either. CC gets ppl watching and properly handles the spotlight proper. Lots of black players gets deals, just not the wnba cause they suck and dont handle themselves proper
It's not the color of your skin!!! It's not about race.... it's about CHARM! Look how famous Steph Curry, Beyonce, Kobe, etal. You cannot force people to like you... just because you are good at what you do.
You didn't even bother to comprehend the article or what I said. You just jumped right to the victim mentality talking point. People have a God-given right to gravitate towards someone based on how they look or where they are from. If CC was Shaniqua Jenkins playing in Iowa, there wouldn't be anywhere close to the excitement that there is for CC. And that is PERFECTLY fine. But i think on a subconscious level it's hard for certain people to admit that biasness exists in sports and entertainment in general. Because if they exist in entertainment, then that means they exist in all things, such as job hiring, criminal justice, and everything else.
Does anyone here like A'ja Wilson just because she's black??? I'm definitely not signed up for some basketball player's world view. Who cares what she thinks. It boils her blood? Wow...such a simple perspective. Life is almost NEVER black and white. Also there ARE other white female basketball players, right? And sorry to burst your bubble, Clark has black, white, Hispanic, and Asian fans and friends. Clark is admired because she's the all time D1 scoring champ, and 3rd all time in assists, 2 NC appearances too. That's why. There are plenty of other white players very few people care about. Also, Clark's fame is boiling her blood???...when Kate Martin (her best friend) is an Ace...kinda weak. Last...my son is bi-racial. We love him for who he is in all ways.
I'm sure people do like A'ja because she's black. And that's okay. The first time Black Panther came out, it was a huge deal because Black people finally had a superhero they could see themselves in. No more Superman, Spiderman, batman, Iron Man's, Captain Americas. The kids finally had someone who looked like them. Caitlin is a good player, but she would be anywhere close to this popular regardless of the scoring record if her name was Latoya Jackson, and she was from Chicago. It wouldn't matter what she did on the court. And that's OK. It's your GOD given right to like who you like based upon skin color. Even if it's an unconscious thing. A'ja never stated anything daragatory, just the truth, and I guess it hurts.
@@DarkBlackMagicLatoya Jackson, how about Michael Jackson? America loved him because he was talented. Trust me not everyone is so simple minded. They are just not. Sorry. I completely disagree.
Michael had to bleach his skin and perm his hair to be loved. Sad but at the same time he was a genius for doing it, because he knew with that wide nose and dark skin, he wouldn't have e crossed over like that.
@@DarkBlackMagicRevisionist history ...the overwhelming sentiment was Michael had a problem with plastic surgery. You're reaching. Why was Bob Marley such a big deal...because he was bi-racial. No. Most people didn't even know that. He was just a genre icon and incredibly important person in Jamaica and around the world to all races and genders. I refuse to accept your world view. You must have grown up in a very homogeneous ethnic region, with no diversity.
@Joe-ny2up Michael was a genius who would do whatever to reach his fans. He may indeed have gotten addicted to the plastic. But it's well known he even took the base out of his voice to be more accepted like many Blk men do in the corporate world. But that's neither here nor there. Whether or not you choose to accept or acknowledge simple realities is your porgative. The O.J. Simpson trial is a great example since it's fresh on people's minds after his transition. Many people from the White community believe O.J. got off because it was a majority Black Jury. Just like many black people believe the same about Rodeny King. Despite seeing Rodney King get beat on camera by 6 officers within an inch of his life, the Cops were found not guilty by an all White jury. Which led to the riots. Either racial biasness exists of it doesn't. Come on now. But then, on the other hand, if you feel this way or better yet, have the luxury of feeling this way... good for you. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. Peace.
I think the main thing is all of the WNBA ladies will eat better because of Caitlyn Clark. She just came on at the right time. Black players are going to get shine because of her r q d their talent will be recognized. I instead of combining, we need to show thar we are just as good, if not better.
I'm glad it's about race. Roland Martin called it right. Now the WNBA will be forced to pay the black players more. Do your research on the "Larry Bird Rule". It was because of Larry Bird's😊 white privilege, black players ate good!
lol. The Larry Bird rule is real, and it didn’t have much to do with white privilege. It was simply allowing a team to sign its top player for more than any other team as long as said player had three years of service. Give credit to the Big-O, Oscar Robertson, for taking the fight all the way to the Supreme Court and winning which was the beginning. It was the reason for the merger and was the most important decision in opening the door for increased player salaries, marketing deals etc. Bird was 3 time MVP and had won multiple championships at the time of his deal. Cut the cap. Had nothing to do with privilege but his market value. and shouting out Roland Martin. Sheesh. 😂😂😂
Race aside.. A’ja Wilson game is not as fancy/flashy as Caitlin’s. I don’t think we’re being completely objective. Is there another WNBA player who has a similar game to Caitlin? Shooting unconsciously from Steph Curry Range? There’s a Japanese kid playing college ball Tominaga who is one of the most popular players. He also has a similar game, just jacking up 3’s.
So just because a player is shooting it long makes them exciting?? Well most of the league does that and by the way Clark is looking in training camp a lot more players are doing it better than her right now
