Caitlyn has opened the eyes/brought awareness to the WNBA. New viewers are becoming fans. Ticket prices/larger arenas/jerseys will increase. Future talents with more polished skills are coming! I'm excited!
Ha, you mean ticket SALES will increase. No one wants their prices to increase, noob. And no, she didn't 'bring awareness to the WNBA'. PPl been 'aware' of it for 26 seasons and still don't wanna watch it. Settle down, captive of the moment.
I am a big Caitlin fan however the media is treating her unfairly. Please let the young lady adjust to the pro game. Everyone is using Caitlin to monetize off her name and massive following. This is a lot of pressure on a 22 year old. People are playing race politics and putting her own peers against her. Stop this crap 💩! She is a once in a generation player who shooting and passing skills will modernize today’s WNBA. Take your emotions away and allow Caitlin to grow into her God given talent.
Agreed. Now that Clark got a deal with Wilson maybe her team mates might begin to reaize thry are not even in her league, stop being jealous, and get on the Clark gravey train and support her success. ( I hope)
Go Woke, go broke. Focus on basketball, cit out the neo-racism and I'm down eith it. I'm not optomistic for the Wmbs reflects what's going on in the national culture.
Not really chief. Y’all are just CC fans who don’t have any respect for the players who’ve come before her. Y’all don’t even give a shit about the rest of league at all or care to learn about Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Briana Stewart, Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, other high profile players who have made their mark on the league.
@@chevyyyyyyy You could’ve led with “I didn’t know much about the WNBA” instead being disrespectful towards those other players given that they’ve made their own legacies even before CC laced up a pair of Kobe V’s. Like cool you’re a CC fan, but quit acting like those after-mentioned players were just some unknown people, just because you couldn’t have been bothered to watch. By the way I’ve been paying attention since the Houston Comets 4-Peat in from 97-00 with Cheryl Swoops and Cynthia Cooper.
Not a CC fan yet, but that Curry style of play is exciting to me. She's playing better than her stats suggests. Her team is just bad. The coaching is bad. They miss so many open shots and take bad shots instead of passing. CC could have had double-digit assists in each game if the open player would simply shoot while open instead of passing.
Yea so we can see her get her butt kick just like she's doing. It's like that surgeon on greys anatomy. She was doing second year work while people in hear class was doing 4 to 5th year work.
Gotta say it’s exciting to be part of the tsunami of male fans helping Clark sweep away the old WNBA. Clark and her fans are forcing the end of the WNBAs grievance/entitlement business model. You can’t really blame the players for being afraid of the change, they aren’t businessmen or objective thinkers except for Clark herself of course who appears to be both (unlike the executives of the WNBA). I have little doubt that Caitlin should also be commissioner.
I think WNBA players and coaches instead of attacking her should be able to be grateful. Thanks, Catlin they will have better salaries and more attention from the media. On the other hand, she needs a coach and teammates who help her to adapt to the league and defend her against the ingratitude and hate of some WNBA players who think are great and nobody knows outside the U.S.A.
Existing stars in the WNBA will gain as well with the newfound exposure. We now watch their games and highlights because CC brings out the best in them. The Golden Goose will take the league to new heights.
@@mytwocent3752Once in a lifetime thoroughbred player and you want her to play like every other draft horse? Coach can't see the future right in front of her. Need to build around CC, not force her to fit your losing record game plan.
@@PTRMANhow long have you been a baseball fan? Three games in, CC22 have played more minutes than her teammates, putting up decent stats and improving. Her teammates needs to step it up. Calling out the coach this early with a rookie is tad harsh.
Last 7 years the Fever have been in the basement. Christie Sides took the coaching job in 2023. Boston was drafted in 2023. The Fever won 13 games, 8 more games than 2022.18 to 20 wins are needed to get to the playoffs. Boston and CC should get us there.
Yeah, but I think Sides is not the coach to get them over the hump. She needs to build around CC, her thoroughbred, but instead insists on putting CC in with the rest of the draft horses pulling plows.
How are you going build around a player who doesn’t have a mid range or float game, can’t go left beyond a step back 3 ball going that way, and can’t finish through contact when she actually drives to her right. If y’all want it to be the Indiana Hawkeyes just say that. It’s Jimmer Fredette all over again, an electric scorer in College at BYU who couldn’t do much in the league when the athleticism caught up with his game and he couldn’t adapt.
@@johntrelthomas841 She has a midrange but metrics dictate you can score bigger when you shoot 3s even if you have a lower percentage at it. That is the reason 2 point shots are a rarity in NBA, management and coaching now would rather have them shoot 3s than longs 2 becuase all the experts did the math and that is what it said. - shoot 3s rather than long 2s, that is why players stepping back became a thing these last 6 years or so.
Not until the Coach and the rest of the team are on the same page. Most of the other players can be Salvaged. Their Awful Coach, just needs to GO, and in a hurry
the key is the new fans like me..i have never heard of you. But can see your jealous of the new players coming in , especially Clark..i heard you played pro for 20 yrs and yet not matter how great you and the old guard is..or was...you people didn't even moved the needle on bringing in new fans..
Game 1 - 13 uncalled fouls against Clark. Game 2 -16 plays Clark frozen out with no touch, sat a whole quarter. Every game - Clark face guarded and double-teamed like it's game 7, opponents screaming if they get a stop as if OT in the finals Final four '24- rabid Ucon fans bomb Iowa with death threats Final four '23 -"Coach of the Year" Dawn Staley says "We're not monkeys" to coach Lisa Bluder who coached the the least-starred team to reach the highest level with the highest efficiency offense; who never did or would say such a thing; Andrew just beats Staley with better coaching. Finals '23 - South Carolina players viral to LSU players Dawn Staley's framing that "Iowa is racist", they themselves then acting with the same bigotry towards Clark that Tiger Woods faced nearly 30 years ago. '23-'24 - The difference today: instead of nearly all of the public overwhelmingly rallying behind Clark, the way they did behind Tiger Woods, a huge faction is jumping on the "everything is about race" dei brainwashed cult bandwagon. Future Failure - The race-colored-glasses wearing Hive mind is incapable of basic logic which leads to self-sabotage and failure which will only lead to blame and then more failure and then more blame. REAL Culture is the Foundation - In all of this noise, too few have recognized that the entire Clark phenomena has been " about " Iowa - the state, the school, and the culture. Iowa has the deepest history of supporting women's basketball and the most loyal college fan base in the country. It's not even close. Iowans were supporting girls basketball tournaments with the same passion as boys back when it was 6 vs 6. Of course, in a culture where girls are never taught that they can't do anything a girl - with an average basketball body - would grow up believing that she can do anything and doing just that - setting every major record for the regular season, and the tournament, and taking the least-starred team the farthest, 2 years in a row, did anyone has ever done. The Iowa fans, like their coaches, exhibit the most enduring loyalty, win or lose. Iowa fans only expect two things, great effort, and loyalty. Also Iowa fans extend a warm ham of support to people of all backgrounds who would join their team or even engage them in good sportsmanship. This is why players, of all backgrounds, we'll save for the rest of their life that they feel like Iowa is their second home. Clark had the courage to buck the Monopoly talent pipeline and to remain with those who had built her up. These millions of Iowans then caused such a rise in ticket sales and viewership that Clark became a national phenomenon in college. Her Iowa buoyed popularity became a positive viral affect where non Iowans learned about Clark's unparalleled talent and good character. Now Clark has brought all of these fans with her to the WNBA, well, to the Fever. Courage us the Key- Every previous great player had the choice to try and build her own Legend at a unique school. They were just kids, so we let them off the hook, but their parents and mentors failed to see the obvious - just as it is with the night sky, a new star cannot be stabd out if it is behind a whole group of stars. If Paige Becker's had instead gone to Minnesota she would have built her Legend as big as Clark's with her talent buoyed on the support of millions of Minnesotan fans. Now they don't care about her because she didn't care that much about them. Instead she went to exhibit A: Ucon which has been killing the wbb competitiveness for years and only developed a small (yet rabid) fan base - failing to even transfer enough fans to the wnba, for all of their top players, to even sell out the same state Connecticut Sun or any other team with UCon players. A'ja Wilson had the same choice - to take the risk of building her own legend or to join a one of the few talent Monopoly front-runners. She made her choice and now has the results if that choice They all have. No one is inspired buy a player who signs up for sure trophies. People are inspired by unexpected underdogs who develop organically with a loyal team and do something both unique amazing. This is extremely rare and difficult to do, but Clark had the courage to try and do it, that most of all separates both her off the car and on the court choices. College is the WNBA Driver- if basketball players fail to develop a following in college, then they will fail to have a fan base and therefor fail to have market traction because the WNBA is not a positive part of the zeitgeist. Self-fulfilling Tragedy- today we have far too many people who mistake Manufactured Culture for real and Organic Culture. Instead of benefiting from being within a United States where people can look towards other states and learn from their strengths, and in this example learning from the great loyalty of Iowans, people are being led by the nose of a fake culture media machine that actually degrades them and then tells them that they can't learn from Iowans because Iowans are "too white!" People have a choice, whether or not they see it, whether or not they use it.
I have never watched the WNBA but since Clark is playing I look forward to all the highlights. To bad so many don’t want to embrace what she is bringing to their sport !
I’ve pickup street games when young & we didn’t play like these WNBA players do if we have played like these bullies do we’d end up in one big street fight
Sensational basketball player , white , religious ,,smart great with her teammates what’s wrong here WBNA women why the jealousy. Caitlin is bring attention to a league very few knew existed.
What she's doing is raise the level. Girls now have a new model to imitate or exceed. The same has happened in women Olympic wrestling and other sports.
The transition period wasn’t the shade… it was the who would you pick with the first pick. DT- I’d choose Paige, next question. Like CC wasn’t worth a second thought
She said that bc she’s an UConn alum.. that’s where DT played in college. If you’re a new WNBA fan that would be the reason you felt that was shady.. ppl who have been watching since DT WENT PRO already knew she’d say Paige for that reason alone (UConn) not to mention the #1 pick usually goes to the worse team
DT realizing that she’s so yesterday, no one cares about anything she says but everyone wondering when the cancer she spits out will finally be gone to allow the WNBA be all it can be. Only reason anyone knows who she is started when she mentioned CC….now she can enjoy charter flights😁😁 oh that’s because of CC also 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Caitlin clark is so positive as a role model for all young girls and boys .plus she's an amazing ⚽ soccer player could be a professional soccer player. No one can touch this learn to love cc she's helping in wnba private jet now thank you cc.
I would say as soon as Caitlin learns to adapt to, and incorporate the "roller derby" style of play into her game, things are gonna get interesting. I would just ask the vets to not strive to put Caitlin in the hospital because you don't like her. I hear she's a very nice person...give her a chance to at least survive your style of play. I think she's fully capable of adapting. Maybe back off the bruiser contact strategy.
She has a high IQ of the play; the way she passes the ball and reads the game is exceptional. I watch WNBA then because ofTaurasi, but Clark is fun to watch.
I know it's a business selling tickets,TV, merchandise, etc.. They play to win games ,not records. if you were picking a team to win today , not next year or down the road as the WNBA is constructed today who is your 1 pick ? To win today I would take Aja Wilson. Google her resume and give me your pick
Kaitlyn Clark the reason I am watching women basketball now. Well let me rephrase it not women basketball watching her games only I like her attitude I like her style of playing playing and I like her professionalism.
What I’ve seen Dumb Diana do to players even without the ball like knocking ,pushing them down with that intentionally playing dirty if I was commissioner I’d ban her from the league
The WNBA aint nothing without Clark. If Clark says "to hell with this crap" and just leave, the WNBA will go back to being nothing. The very presence of Clark allowed the league to receive 50 million for charter flights, and these idiots want to bust her up. It is like biting the hand that feeds you. When you play against someone in a large spot light, you are also in that spotlight.
Sense to me like that all these ladies this speaking against Kaitlyn Clark are just jealous. That’s all it is is jealousy and some of these players are washed up and need to go home and let the new people come in.
For the haters that say CC is struggling. First 3 games CC stats 2nd in the league in assist , 22nd in rebounds , 7th in points ,tied for 1st in free throws, 1st in 3 pointers made,13th in field goals and her player EFF ranks 18th.
Please follow the facts. Yes she is an utstanding player, but only one of five on the floor at a time. Her colleg stats were excellent: 45% FGs, 38% 3s, 57% 2s 86% FTs plus assists and more. She scored more than 1/3 of Iowa's points. Great! So far her WNBA stats are close scoring 23% of the team's points. She is helping change the WNBA, but they were getting better before she arrived WNBA attendance was up 16% last year without her. The world is embracing women's basketball and she is a boost, but only one of many.
She's Americans sweet heart and just keeps getting better and is the goat with around 35 millions Nike Wilson insurance companys Gatorade,sport cards collectables jerseys t- shirts sweat shirts photos and more hello.
Cc it's not about race or color . she's white and cute to look at but her heart loves everyone the same black Mexican native American Jewish middle eastern no matter your religion Asian islander so get her the respect she gives you which is mercy love and and a kind heart
Need give a few players time take away from wheeler and the girl tami replaces by next year they won’t be here need players fit into the system fast pace breaking type offense in sets you have Mitchell who can create who own shot lik3 Boston n Clark team Defense and Team Rebounding this is the best I can see right now lead by Caitlyn Boston Tami .Mitchell pow lets goooooo
She's going to be the best player in the WNBA as soon as the rest of the teams start letting her win yes I said that let her win cuz that's what y'all want to let other teams let her win she's not physical she's not fast she can shoot
What any sports venue need to survive are white fans. In order do that a white player has to really stand out among their peers. Caitlin Clark is such a player and more. There is nothing racist about this it's the truth. She is a generational athlete I could play with my grandkids and ask them who the highest scorer in college basketball history and that would be Caitlin Clark
No that's not what happened. Catlin and her yeam got a charter plane, but the rest of the teams had to travel commercial and when the other wbna women complain and call the wnba out on the racism then they did this. Stop lying for her.
If I would watch sports hmmmmm why??????? For the damn entertainment factor period. If the lady is hot well thats just a bonus. The old wnba pre CC BORING and WOKE. Now well still boring,but I'll watch her cause she exciting to see play. That's your job play.
You really think that Caitlin had nothing to do with loss? Take a look at her stats and it may help to understand how she contributed to the loss. Don’t label her as ‘mamba’ because Kobe could create his own shot. At this level, the players are 100% better than college players. Iowa spoiled her by having every member on the team throwing up screens for her all throughout the game, she needs to learn how to create space for herself. Also, she better hurry and cash that NIKE check QUICK. 🤣🤣🤣
@zoley4181 CLARK-20,8,6....STEWART-24,5,2. CAITLIN is playing against way better competition. STEWART used to be the best player in the league, until CAITLIN CLARK came along.NOW GO SIT.
