She also has the Jordan rule too. They are playing CC even harder than the other rookies. It's sad, but CC is not complaining about and she is fighting through it.
They are intentionally trying to keep the Rookie race close, But Caitlin is already pulling away from the rest. Top 3 in Rookie stats in history in first 3 games. We will see tonight
I'm a bisexual brown-skinned Latina and I guess I am a racist for supporting CC according to Aja Wilson. Does she even realize that CC also has fans that are not white? She needs to stop with the race baiting. Fans love CC because she can hoop and has character.
She needs to understand that their are 130 plus million white americans and only 30 to 40 million african americans so if aja wants to make some money she will have to appeal to both. Shes just mad that caitlin by herself is making more than the entire aces roster. Even with the behind the scenes shady stuff aces management does
@@cobra7282 F*ck it….Ima tell you EXACTLY what’s going on. Clark is a straight VERY white girl from middle America that went to a very white school in middle America that was KILLING everyone in college basketball breaking all the records…She played like Steph Curry and has a “flashy” game. The casual white fan jumped on the bandwagon because this white girl was the best in college basketball (men and women) and that doesn’t happen often so she was their “great white savior”. That’s why we have these clueless fans talking crazy because they didn’t watch basketball til she got hyped up. It is what it is.
What is her complaint though? Sounds like she was asked a question about whether or not race is a factor and she simply stated that she thinks it is. Didn't see her complaining about how it is unfair or that people should like her just as much..
I cant speak for others - OLD BBall coach here. I can say that I didn't watch WNBA at all. But CC brought me back to the game. And now that Im here, I'm sorry that I missed the last 10 years of play. These women can ball!! However, when a player like CC comes around - I watch, I talk about them with others, I jump out of my chair, and I BUY things. Thank you CC for bringing millions to the game. BTW - your LOGO 3 against the Suns was off the chain!!
Amen Brother she’s going to overcome the haters, she’s going to overcome the defenders, she’s going to overcome the league, she’s going to overcome the media. She’s going to overcome it all because she’s that f’n great. She’s going to overcome hate from her own f n team And She will be the best woman’s basketball of all time. Michael Jordan rules already!!!
Your an overboard fan, she is a scorer but not Michael Jordan type. She is a Steph with height, which is still great. Nobody wants to admit when she gets out played. It's okay to admit she is not perfect, but the the way that you fans live in your delusion about her is crazy to me, because nothing is ever her fault like she is a perfect player and everything is somebody else's fault. She makes mistakes like anybody else, just roll with them and support her but don't be delusional about it until she proves it. It's always about what your allowed to do when it comes to your coach and that's why others are not allowed to play like Caitlin and given as much rope cause she shot more then whole teams in college and remember they never won the championship and she was there for years. This is all to her fans not to her cause she is handling very well and not following her fans pretend narratives.
@@phallghuy you have CCDS Caitlin Clark Derangement Syndrome You are a overboard hater and denier She is a 2 Time Naismith College Player of The Year She holds 45 Division 1 NCAA scoring records including all time scoring record and second all time in assists. You are the delusional denying hater. She is easily Rookie of the year the fastest person In points and assists only to Candace Parker 9 games in. Stop listening to internet cannon fodder because you sound very ignorant and uneducated on the facts . She is doing all of this with a terrible team and terrible coach. Jordan rules applied to her immediately so you can let that analogy just burn in your psyche and be in your head.
When Clark enters the NBA and do what MJ and Curry has down playing against Superstar men......Then you can compare the league leading" Turnover Queen" to them.
This is crazy. Her race had nothing to do with the fact that Caitlyn broke all records in college BB both men and women. She earned it! Clark is a winner and will be great and dominant in the W.
It's not easy for some people to accept that they aren't as popular as the new kid on the block . So the haters find it easier to drag out the race card than work on their own attitudes and humility . But using the race card only hurts the user in the end by making them less popular and less likable.
Oh... you're right Why do you think that we talked about Tiger Woods? Why do you think that we talked about Venus and Serena Williams? Smdh.... but you're right.... misguided but right
I don’t like Caitlin because what I saw her doing in college: pushing other players down with two hands, taunting players with her hand signs, and other things. She was acting like a thug.
There is something that is happening here that plays a part in how the different athletes are being covered and praised. Pearl Moore & Lynette Woodard are GOATs of college basketball. Have scored more points than anyone Clark included and did it in less years. Clark had a Covid year that added time to her playing/scoring. Those women are overlooked and not praised and why is that. You can’t jump over people who did what you did better than you just because of the school you went to or division. You have to speak to the fact that Nike has only given shoe deals to white female athletes and not one black wnba athlete. You got it wrong because nike only just now gave Aja Wilson her shoe deal in the aftermath of the world being pissed off seeing Clark get a shoe deal before ever playing a wnba game. That’s not right and it’s not right on all levels to show the champion and best player on the wnba doesn’t have recognition for her sport but a college girl gets all of it before her. That’s not ok. Nike Fcked up and they know it. There is some truth to what they are saying people just don’t like the fact it’s being said.
Exactly! Aja won a national championship at South Carolina. MOP of that national championship. Won ROTY. Won back-to-back DPOY's, 2 MVPs, back-to-back championships, 2023 FMVP, 3x blocks leader, perennial all-star, made all-defensive teams, all-nba teams, etc. She's the most decorated and best player in the league, and you can't celebrate her?!
Stop lying about more scored points and covid year as extra year . If the general public and sports goods manufacturers don't give a damn about other athletes , because they're not that important . By the way , the "w" in wnba is "women" not welfare . Stop promoting the [ Blak is Welfare = Welfare is Blak ] ideology !
Race? What about Dr. J, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, LeBron, Stephen Curry and Caitlyn have in common being so popular? These players have unique styles playing that fans love to watch that set them apart from other professionals players. 😎😉This has nothing to do with race.
They are arguably the GOATs of far more popular sports. Tiger was not only the first black guy to dominate, but was also the first guy to dominate at a Jack Nicklaus level. MJ was the best player in a hugely popular sport for about 10 years. Women's basketball is not a popular sport, but all the sudden you get a flashy white girl from the Midwest to come along and it is popping off. It is ultimately a good thing for the sport, but that doesn't mean we can't simply point out the facts..
As a white person... It didnt hurt Caitlin by being white. Its not the reason she succeeded but it might explain some of the non-basketball fans support. For example. if she was a black girl would she be as popular? Probably not. because people EXPECT black greatness in basketball. They dont expect a white girl from the heartland to be the best player by a mile. She is like a novelty. Its kind of like how no one is impressed by a above average white QB... but every one LOVES a slightly above avg black QB. its the underdog appeal.
She's not the best player in the WNBA. Aja Wilson is. Check Aja's resume. Where are you getting this "the best player by a mile" ?! Again...go check Aja's WNBA resume. It's no way she shouldn't be celebrated with how crazy her resume is. Not even Clark should be more celebrated than her in the WNBA. Please do your homework.
@@j-us-t_be-in-g Listen goofy. She has been in the league for like 5 days. I was referring to her college career.. Where she got famous. She wont be the best in the WNBA for atleast another few weeks. plus Aja isnt white.. Did you not read my comment ? Black people are supposed to be the best at basketball... thats why its not a big deal when they are. People dont pay attention to that. If the best player in Hockey was black.. then you would see people glazing and freaking out. Like they did with Tiger Woods.
They all just want attention and CC is giving it to them, and if it wasn't for CC she would be irrelevant and wouldn't have gotten that shoe deal. If it wasn't for CC I wouldn't have known who Aja was, honestly. Better watch that mouth woman and sound a little more appreciative, you'd be surprised what it would do for you.
Is it ridiculous?! Aja has proven herself not only in college basketball, won a national championship, and now in the WNBA, won back-to-back DPOYs as well as championships, and a FMVP one of the two along with other accolades in the WNBA. On the other hand, Clark has no championship from college, and very early into her WNBA but yet she way more celebrated than Aja?!
Well Jokic 3 MVPs 1 championship no shoe deals, commericials etc, Ja no MVP, no championships , but shoe deals, commercials....it happens, you dont get to dictate how people spend their money, its not always about whose best. Also the way people play also dictates how marketable they are
Obviously the main reason people are fans of her are for what she is doing on the basketball court, but I do find myself wondering if she would be as popular as she is if she was black. Keep in mind that a big contingent of her following are white people from the midwest. How many of those people would be as fanatical if she was black? I'm guessing quite a bit less. You could argue with Serena's popularity, but keep in mind that she had to be arguably the most dominant female tennis player of all time to get that sort of popularity.
Caitlin, Angel, and Cameron have garnered significant attention from the basketball world, despite being rookies. However, the WNBA veterans are not inclined to go kiss the ring. Both on and off the court, all three females should exercise caution because they possess a bullseye. The situation is rapidly intensifying, to the extent that Angel and Caitlin may require constant 24/7 protection.
Ok, so if she is insecure cos shes black, n jealous of caitlin cos shes white, she could do what mj did, turn white (mj=michael jackson the king of pop)
How many ppl you know or seen with vitaligo? No one is insecure CC is white, they’re mad she is overhyped cause she is white. How can you call a rookie a goat? Guess CC is going to winning the next 6 WNBA chips. How many came before her that are colored and didn’t receive this much attn
Her race does have something to do with her popularity. She is talented but her race does help. People this is America. Some of you people are a little ignorant. And to the creator of this video Clark directly waved of Raven Johnson. And that video went viral.
If this is the case, then why did they promote Jordan over Bird? Bird had multiple rings at the time. Jordan hadn't even made it out the first round. Why didn't the media promote any of the white WNBA superstars that came before Clark? Ionescu, Stewart, Plum, Taurasi, etc?
@@thegritculture9914 …Bro when Jordan entered the league Bird was in his way out. Checked the dates…Bird career was ending. Jordan was the new rookie. They didn’t come in the league at the same time. No where close.
@@thegritculture9914 ….in America it’s always about race. White is the majority race in America …it’s changing soon it will be Latinos , but whites control much of the power structure in the USA. It is only natural that they will want to see images if themselves to advertise and promote. Is that not human nature?
What?! Does she have a point that?! Look at how accomplished Aja is at the college level and WNBA level but don't get praised for it?! Get the fuck out of here. Clark has only broken records....gets the MJ treatment.
AJ’s way off base on this subject. CC has a huge following for one reason, one reason alone…it’s the ‘way’ she plays…fast & furious, full out with a Wild West gunslinger swagger . Boring to see low post, 2 point balling. Watching CC is damn exciting!
Her teammates have clearly been freezing her out as well. This is not by accident, Sides and Dunn are HARDCORE activists first, basketball people second. They want to make an anthem kneeling lesbian activist out of Clark and if that fails, they will make an example of her and run her out of the league, just like what happened to Candice Wiggins.
Whatever…..tons of folks are also noticing that teams like Connecticut can drop threes like nobody’s business. But keep the ticket prices low for most seats or these new fans will fade.
Yep . A'ja is not wrong . Whole lot to do with it . Why do you think she was asked about her name being used to advance or incite racist agendas ( amongst other negative ones ) ?
Why do some of you believe cursing imoroves your validity? If you want to talk that way with your boys okay but you turn me off with the cursing. Yeah, I'm a Black woman and I would never allow my son to talk to me or with me with that vileness. It does not increase your intelligence but it may turn off others as well.
@@Dolemite19 What he said wasn't accurate. He's just saying the words he heard others say. I cuss so I don't care if people cuss but what point do using those f-bombs make? Like I said it's fine if he uses them around his homies but some words have no place in a public forum especially if he's trying to grow a channel. Believe me, this will not be the only channel I've left. I like civil discourse.
The comment in question comes from an interview with a reporter. Go back read it and discuss it in context. Steph is Steph he’s one of one and earned his green light, CC hasn’t earned anything you expect us to just give her our respect because it’s the popular opinion. JuJu is a better player overall and her hype won’t be 1/3 of CC hype and a honest person would say race plays a major role in that. Your whole vid just gives off I love my massa vibes, only date yt woman vibes, hate my gums cause they blk vibes😂
Massa vibes..lmao. Ignorance is bliss. Jordan didn't win anything in the pros for 9 years before his championship. So how did he receive all of those endorsements and attention?
@@thegritculture9914 beating Georgetown in the ncaa championship in college. The 87 & 88 dunk contest took him to another level. Performances against the best players and teams pistons, bird/celtics, Cleveland, and Lakers made fans and players respect his game and see him as the next great. CC hasn’t earned any respect we’re all just supposed to give it to her and that’s not basketball. Compare Clark freshman season at Iowa to Ju Ju as a fresh at SC not even close. Ju doesn’t receive a qt of the hype and she’s more WNBA ready than CC right now. Don’t front like you don’t why Taylor swift fans and other clowns are saying she’s the greatest basketball player ever, you know. You just pimping the algorithm and I ain’t mad at you get your chili, but an honest conversation about basketball is gonna have to happen at some point and the context of that conversation will be that CC is an excellent 3 pt shooter, but an average player
@@thegritculture9914 MJ won the title in his 7th season. Also he was consistently the best player of one of the most popular sports on the planet. Women's basketball is not a popular sport in the grand scheme of things.
@@CBo-li3rg Gonna have to disagree with the freshman year comparison. Clark was way more efficient than Juju as a freshman while playing with similar usage. Juju is a better defender than Clark due to her better athleticism. It's close, but I would probably give Clark the edge as a freshman.
Caitlin Clark style of play is why she is popular. It hasn't do with her race. So aj Wilson and angel Reese is jealous that Caitlin Clark is popular And they're not popular.Nike know Caitlin Clark is popular because her style of play and fans will buy anything has do with Caitlin Clark. That why Caitlin Clark got the shoe deal with nike. it Caitlin Clark style of play got Caitlin Clark the shoe deal and fans like Caitlin Clark style of playing make fans buy anything has do with Caitlin Clark. So angel Reese and AJ Wilson should stop bring racist and make it about race
Its attitudes like Wilson that is a huge turnoff and is a big reason why people dont want to give the WNBA a chance. Clark has a chance to single handily save your league and all they want to do is burry Clark. I watched Wilsons highlights and its clear as day why Clark brings in the eyeballs. Wilson is skilled and effective, but her game is basically 10 ft and in. There is no dunks or flying through the air, just excellent fundamentals . its just not sexy like pulling up from the logo with someone in your face and burying it.
If it is true (and it’s not) so what? Suppose there was a sports league in Japan that was dominated by non-Japanese players, and one day a superstar emerged that is Japanese? Aren’t we told all the time that youngsters need role models that look like members of their community? Well, is it so bad for the majority community of girls to finally get one?
And Aja Wilson need to knock it off, she know she is not that good on a set of eyes, and unfortunately sometimes that still matters, and this is one of them cases. And also her playing style is not that exciting, at that size people want to see you be able to dunk or something, not a weak ass lay up,,, that's the difference between yall and the men but it's like they don't get that and that's where the problem lies.. it's truly not about race cause I'm black...
Because it's a combination of how she plays and what she looks like. It is a nuanced subject and race is a factor to some extent. No one is following her solely because she is white, but because she is white and they like the way she plays.
The reason people like Caitlin is because she is really good not because she's white! I'm white and all the players I like are black even one's who have not won a championship.
Spit, bro. This victim garbage and everything is about race stuff is tiring. These are 2 basketball players with different styles. One talks, the other talks mostly on the court. And that's all it is.
The hate is thought at home 😢 this is all so sad that sportsmanship is not part of the the WMBA. They are going to ask in a year or two why are they not getting more money. HATE 🎉❤❤❤❤
Hero, for what. Woman hasn't even finished 1 year in the pros, and she's a hero. Hyped hero is more like it. The woman can't jump over a napkin. Just another big booty sista, with little skill, not making the game better, but more focused on her so called brand. Give Angel Reese 2 years before she becomes irrelevant. If Angel Reese was to quit the WNBA, people would be curious not upset. Catllyn quits, the league loses sponsors and television revenue. Just facts. Want the money and prestige that's goes along with it, be daring to go it alone. I don't recall Michael Jordan being tatted up, or wearing cornrows or dreads, while most of the league went that route. But it was Michael and his Straight pseudo conservative image, that put money in his opponents bank accounts, just by him being better than them. This hate towards Clark is on so many levels. I'm sorry, but being gay women who dress like men, is never going to be a image, any major sports league is going to promote. I'm not saying it's right, but that's the reality of the situation. Not telling the women how they should look, but that's a fact.
Their skills are mediocre at best but they have convinced themselves that they are so good and worth seeing because they've been doing it so long and know they're the best in the world but girls are just not really that good of basketball players as far as the skill level goes. This league has been a gift to y'all because they felt sorry for y'all after all them years of failed attempts to make anyone interested in a league for y'all, and since the NBA was doing so good they said they would take on that burden, because they lose money every year from y'all, so please everyone stop living in that fantasy world y'all been living in before CC, because she's the real deal, and with or without the WNBA she will be just fine!! But will y'all!? And I don't bet my life on many things, but I would on this, if CC went overseas or to the Big 3, the NBA would shut y'all down!. Facts
People go watch the movie the great white hype and you'll see this movie play in g out with CC . Samuel Jackson and the promoter needed a white star to generate money so they hype an below average boxer who hasn't won anything bit made it seem he was the best in rhe world. They did all thay just to generate money
People shouldn’t it be obvious that A’ja Wilson knows how the media works better than we do? Are we involved with the inner workings of the media as she is ? How do we know better than she does from sitting on our couches eating cheese-zits?
You are definitely PARTIALLY right, but… A whole bunch of dumb asses had lots to say about Angel Reese, including Black Men, I’m not sorry Our PPL came together and defended Our Sister. The insults hurled at her was/is consistent with her being “Black” SC Champions didn’t get their props for their incredible victory, you just kinda glossed over that… 👎🏿👎🏾 Now I do agree Caitlin Clark is a great player with lots of accomplishments and she shouldn’t be judged based on her 1st game or her ppl’ ignorance/racism. I know you are being neutral but that’s not reality, good luck to all the players hope they all do well, especially Angel Reese, 👊🏾👸🏾🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
Not being neutral. Just objective. Anybody can get it, no matter the group. I won't go deep, I'll just say this....operating from the lens of identity is a Zionist construct.
She's the great white hope, and she's not living up to all the hype at 1-6. Her being white is the main reason why she's so popular and that's good for the WNBA. She did accomplish a lot in college with the refs help, but now she really has to earn her stripes. Her whiteness has benefited the league with more fans and revenue.
A ja... put a sock in it... you re an embarrassment to your fellow players,,,,give CREDIT where credit is due,,,,Caitlin is the greatest player to promote womens basket ball ... She is skillful and exciting to the max baby.. CC is the Queen,,,,,,,,smell the roses....and wake up.
