It's Time To Have A Tough Conversation About This Rise Of The WNBA... | Pat McAfee Show 

Best comment. Same here man!

Legit people picked magic and Jordan over larry way back when 😂😭like who has their own shoes . Magic does . Jordan obviously does. Wtf is a bird it doesn’t exist 😂it’s not about race it’s about how exciting they are I think fighting shows that better than any other sport if doesn’t matter how you look somewhat how you act but mainly about excitement

Yes sirrr. Stop with because she's white narrative. Many of the WNBAs biggest stars are white. They didn't have the it factor CC has. As a black man .. just saing

She’s not great. Got all the calls in college and now she’s not and it shows how regular her talent is. She can become great but highly doubt it from someone that can’t play defense and unless they surround her with the other two best shooters like they did for Steph their team won’t be successful.

MJ won a NCAA chip, Tiger won Masters at 21, they have crowned CC has the Queen but she has not won anything and lost to Cardozo this year and Reese last year . Reese is responsible for a lot of her popularity because of the drama from last year , just like Bird and Magic ..people love a hero and a villain , a white hero and a black villain is even more appealing . You say she is great, great players when championships . She is exciting yes ...but the hype is more than just because her play

Idk if I could take it as him burying Ion or burying the CW. LOL 😂

Home of Blue Bloods and SVU Reruns Mind U.

CW straight catching strays. 🤣

Home of SVU Reruns LOL

@gonyne8625 lmao I love the CW bit .. every time they get into it I just smile😂

They are so used to not making money they want to continue like this

​@@HiveMind629 lol Funny AF. Seriously tho, I saw an article and a post game interview with Breanna Stewart and her coach a few days ago after playing the Fever where after 2 games against the Fever they have reported a 2+ million dollar in revenue in just those 2 games, the most ever in their franchise history. Even Stewart threw her hands up and yelled woo live and was impressed by the numbers, some of them are starting to see the Clark effect, just gonna take a lil time for more of them to appreciate and respect it so that everyone can reap the rewards.

Tbh they never had a bag. They were selling wolf tickets

@@jaredg3152 nah they weren't selling any tickets

@@OldBadGamer614 can't sell what you don't have and that's a product. A real bb fan would be insulted by all this hype over a rookie that hasn't earned anything. Name one NBA player that got this kitten gloves treatment their rookie season

Without Pat, all you have is convention centers and parking lots

That’s badass.

Everyone owns the jersey that they're going to buy. There's nothing in the NBA's rookie class that generated true jersey buzz.

People wear jerseys still?

@@cazdrexler555 When was the last time you either went to or watched any professional team sporting event? You would see thousands of people wearing them.

Gonna be #1 now

Need to get you a "No Ma'am" t-shirt!

@@RandA1220I actually own one 😂🤣

So crazy how ahead of his time Al Bundy really was! He literally should be a documentary!

@@RandA1220I have one

Goddamn, dropped Al Bundy musings on us.

Don't matter she a champion Clark is not

@@detroitholman6077 and she wasn’t even the top pick in her own team. That means she isn’t even the top rookie on her team. There’s 14 other women on the LSU squad that are champions too. Being a champion don’t make you great

​​@@detroitholman6077See that's the problem with the culture! That ring is all that matters. Let me tell you how I see things in the white man. That 28 million is worth a lot more then that ring Angel Reese has. And by the way Angel Reese came out of college the number 11th ranked player in the country

Yeah, they kinda ignore Cordoso. Although she's been hurt.

Reese is more marketable in my opinion that’s why she is kind of the face of Chicago sky I think

Bill Burr has been saying that for years

But according to Charles Barkley, men are more petty than women…

Women rather watch the Kardashians and make them billionaires 😂

Bw here to co-sign!

@@CommunityNotesVerifiednailed it 😂😂😂😂

They all over Twitter right now crying

Trying to cancel pm as we speak. Just for telling the truth

​@@JuanSuero-ln9vrmaybe not likely though. She's got her insta and tic Tok fame that's huge

@@JuanSuero-ln9vr Wheres the disrespect though? You do know its a game of competition right? And nobody is gonna let her just do her thing. She gotta go get it. Just like that other point guard on her team.

@@JuanSuero-ln9vr Well said...

Had a smile on my face the second he started the trolling and I could see that's how the whole segment was going. Absolutely amazing.

Amen

please, I watched the Clark foul but had to immedialtely turn it off when they actually started playing ball again. It's awful and can't be fixed.

@@nashtruckerso did you stop watching when draymond cheap shots players in the nba?

​@@SMthaodyessythe NBA is watchable though.

wnba needs to clean house

@@SMthaodyessy Who still watches the NBA Dunk Festivals???

Because lefty closet racists need to be spoken to like a baby in order to understand

I'm so here for it lol

Sarcasm is my love language.

I know. Wow really. It's a small market. Not her again.

Exactly

This is white supremacy

Many such cases. Sad!

Very true

Female culture 🤣

I think they are going to royally screw it up

Yea the old hats are jealous and cause they are not getting as big a shine.

@@tharengore7215 More like the hair hats.

Agreed. PR and Marketing has to do a better job or will lose this momentum

Yup poor scheduling, 8 games in 11 days. 3 in under 70 hours. 8 of 11 games vs top 5 teams. They gonna lose this surge in revenue quick, at even 5-6 they’d be in a playoff spot and very relevant

I’m here for it

@@charles2731imagine if she dominated the olympics and then never touched a court again. That would be pretty legendary

Lmao then she won’t get paid not a good assumption

I hope she doesn't because, then they would say she couldn't hack it and she quit.

@@belindafoster-eb5sb no shame in quitting on a league that doesn’t want her

For good reason as we now know, these are "professionals?"

EXACTLY!!!!!

Black lesbians 😂😂😂

​@@codyking3825Not sure color or orientation has anything to do with it.

How many of those women are straight? Also something to consider.

Why so she can suck and get finesse because they didn't have that money for her lmao

Itd be the funniest thing if Clark wins ROY and a title and tells them to piss off

for reals im sure she regretting now.

She's not stupid. She knows that the real money comes from endorsements. She's not going to go to the big three get 5 million when Nike can tell her we want you in the WNBA and will give you 20 million to play in front of a league that actually has an audience. Use your brain....

She's making more in endorsements in the WNBA than the $5m in big 3.

catlin clark scored 3 points last night ..........i scored ZERO. she's barely better than me

@@annajordan243 how many more points did she have than you at the NCAA D1 level?

You've never scored a basket in your life, you're just a racist hater

@@annajordan243she’s still the leading scorer among all the rookies so there’s that

@@annajordan243 I thought she left the game injured last night?

That's part of the problem, they're trying to rebrand. I mean geez its lesbians cosplaying toxic masculinity. I'm sure they're more pissed at a rockie being protected.

Well ya, they're women

Poor little white girl

@cruzinthruspace poor little white girl with 60 million in endorsements 🤣👌🏻

Refs don't need to do nothing. She better get some Female Charles oakley as her teammates and protect her

That's a false narrative! People like you like controversy! The media helps with that! This type of play has always been this way!

😮that was actually a good comparison..I forgot about that

Well, we kinda knew about Ionescu after her shootout with Steph Curry. And some know Kelsey Plum from her t-shirt cannon of an arm and her 3 vs 3 Olympic medal. And people knew about Brink because of Instagram. But yeah, everyone else is famous because of Clark.

Wow that’s you. I knew who all the players were. I love women’s basketball.

@@Lashonette1976 you missed the point, Lashonette. 🙂

@@Fletchman1313 ya I didn't know any of them. me and many many others,

Sabrina’s shoe game on point

There’s nothing to protect the wnba was always played like this. If you watched the games you’ll see Clark overall is playing just as hard and she’s actually flopping a bit trying to draw fouls. She’s fine it’s the media and weirdo fans that’s acting like she’s being assaulted and hated. The only thing the players are mad about is the fact that they keep getting asked questions on Clark and the play style they’ve always had going on is getting critiqued.

CNN stopped ovulating and actually did some (bad) journalism?? Impossible!

It’s the “advocates” who are hating big time.

Love Pat since he brought me back to NFL after I lost interest w my local team, formerly the Redskins!!!

All he did was show stats that were facts 😂

What did they say? I'm curious what that clown network said about this

They have chartered flights all because of her.

It certainly would "Serve Them Right" to have It All Fall Down Around Their Pin Heads

She should have “suffered an injury” and be out indefinitely.

even with her i dont know anyone that watches

Don't forget if the money dries up they can always depend on Greyhound being their for the league.

It's a good thing for your kids to learn what its like to be white today in America. You're going to get beat up for your race at some point in your life, and that's just how it is. Maybe you're in some place that's fairly rural or a highly white suburban area, but this has been the life for white people in urban areas for a long time, and its spreading. Caitlyn Clark has her millions, she'll be fine.

It’s been fair. Y’all are just pissed your great white hope is a bust

They are currently growing because of exactly that..the heat she s catching is bringing in all sort of publicity..that's why they are allowing it to go in think about it..beside iam happy to see a league were the extra soft people wont make it

@@jimone732 Short sighted take.

@@jimone732 By all means, keep it tough and keep it a well kept secret. Let them toil away in obscurity still bitching and moaning about the respect they feel they deserve when a mediocre 5A men's bball team would smoke the best WNBA team.

@@jimone732 embarassing take - you probably think jokic should be hacked every play so that he can't score or make insane assists 🤡

I love your comment so much truth in it they will learn never bite the hand that feeds you it’s enough for everybody to get a slice 😂

You make too much sense

It doesn’t even look like she’s aiming for the basket sometimes. Shits wild. But then I see a video of her practicing threading like 10 threes in a row. Wtf am I missing

@@charles2731 Easy to shoot uncontested opposed to an actual game vs WNBA players?

@@Raindeux I agree. The point was she doesn’t shoot threes at all, she lives under the basket. It would be like watching Zion shootin a bunch of 3’s in practice. What for? That’s not their game. Just more look at me behavior

They are just as jealous even though they are directly benefitting 😂😂

But Women do not support other women and do not believe in the chilidish things us men says brotherhood. there is no sisterhood. except bishes being bishes.

yeah they have been pathetic - they should go to war for CC

She's the flavor of the moment. Swoops... Bird... Griner.... had their names shoved down our throats too. She'll be an after thought in a few months. As will the league.

Nothing wrong with that. Everyone is a flying commercial coach.

Pretty sure they still are. 16000 per game...

Was in the works for years

@@orochimaru3950 Yeah, they were just waiting for their meal ticket...and she arrived.

He's tired (like the rest of the fans) of seeing blatant fouls without penalties. The blindsided shove by Carter was the limit! Enough!!

@@THuff808 That poor hetrosexual white girl.....

Cause when women are put in place they become stubborn no difference from our own wives.

same with Twitter

I don’t think Pat really cares pol

@thejandjchannel5016 probably doesn't but Pat and The Boys are The Boys so you stand with em.

Complex is wack. Clahns!

I will say, the racism I saw towards Reese and that entire LSU team the last two years was pretty bad too. The entire new audience of the WNBA is just the worst.

​@@Alexander_Grantlol

20 Megaton Bomb-Drop of TRUTH.

@@Alexander_Grant No they are not. What a foolish thing to say. A tiny portion say inappropriate things online. The vast majority watch on TV and triple the ratings. They go to games at over a 200% increase buying tickets 100% higher than last year. They are driving unprecedented features like private jets and new franchises and a soon to be greatly improved CBA which will double salaries. These new fans ROCK!

@@Oneanddone14 All you've said is that they bring more money, I don't disagree with that. The quality of the fans are awful though. Caitlin Clark fans on average are horrible sports fans, they want Clark coddled and any opposition to her is met with calls of racism. The structure of this video we're talking about is just all about money, not the quality of the games, not winning games, not winning National Championships. No, it's about TV ratings and jersey sales. You've done the same thing. I know that the WNBA now has more people watching, but the quality of the new fans are horrible sports fans. I'm not talking about normal trash talk, I'm fine with saying things about their game, "Reese hasn't broken any records," "Clark hasn't won anything," those are fine and is healthy trash talk about the game. Calling Reese and that LSU team a bunch of thugs or saying Clark is only getting attention because she's white comes from horrible sports fans that shouldn't be watching the sport. People who do that for players like Larry Bird get rightfully clowned, saying he was only popular because he's white, but somehow it takes center stage in the minds of this influx of WNBA fans.

Especially if they continue as is and don’t let Clark shine. Shi t will get old soon

No kidding because I know I’m fed up with the dirty plays already

When was it alive..ain’t nobody watching wnba games..

It’s dead now

It’s dead now fr.

In her defense most of them go in. And if they don't go in she gets the rebound and puts it back in.

She is all good and smiling now. She has over 3 million followers on instragram, Met Gala, Vogue photo shoot and various NIL deals as well as a sneaker. Plenty of people love her. Stay in your struggle!!

It's hilarious how woke liberals claim to champion diversity yet they don't want Clark diversifying the WNBA

@Frederick0220 There is plenty of diversity in the WNBA. Karen Martin is just one example, and she is loved. Have several seats!!

What the WNBA needs is accountability and a come to Jesus meeting with all coaches & players to talk to them about their physicality on other players! Literally, it's the Fever against the Detroit Pistons! Every team acts like the Pistons to take CLARK down! As far as the racism, that is coming from the veteran WNBA players, and it needs to stop!

@@BigAjia When dues paying members are being unfairly targeted by management, other players or are clearly being treated differently, it is the elected union officials' duty to raise the issue for resolution or file a grievance. Why is Catlin Clark not being represented for blatant discrimination from a league that's racist throughout? The world knows Clark is being targeted under the guise of "Initiation," Rookie Hazing," or "Testing." Everyone is on fire about what's going on but you, brushing it off as normal. Some nasty s*it is going on and it now obvious.

And here come the WHITE TEARS… Your people have been treated so bad in this country, LOL…

He's literally praising her and her peers but sound off.

If that's the case then Brink would be getting the same treatment right?... I think the other players are jealous of Clark, but race has nothing to do with it

​@@Mischief716Race has nothing to do with it? Are you delusional?

Or you know she's THE star players this season. Jordan, Magic, Bird and Wemby all got pushed around. Candace got beat tf up. It happens.

This is why ESPN pays this man and his program... he is not an employee he is a sought after product!

bruh that was NO lady

Melanie King just looking at pictures of her, "This is tough."

100%. Pull the Caitlyn games out of their averages and it's even more lopsided.

What you're describing isn't professional at all. It's prison ball. Clark there to play ball, not throw hands or engage in hoodrat nonsense.

The W has built themselves a Comfy Play House, and are Big Mad that CC is gonna turn their "Bubble" Into "Rubble", so they are gonna "Get Out Ahead Of CC, and Destroy their Playhouse Themselves. Boy Oh Boy is that a Genius Strategy!

Ever heard of Reggie Bush? Lonzo Ball? Hell, even Kobe and Lebron James? They all had hype entering their rookie year in the pro leagues whether if it was because of their talent or just plain hype (Lonzo) . They were all targeted by the vets in their rookie years. This isn't anything new. Y'all need to stop coddling CC and let her get acclimated to the physicality of the league. There will always bee dirty players in every league, get over it.
