Rob Parker - WNBA Discourse Has Been More Soap Opera Than Basketball 

Yep

Yeah, but u CONVIENTLY leave out the IGNORANT behavior from the CHILDISH players! My black people never pass up an opportunity to make ASSES of themselves, this is just the latest example! The culture needs a Serious RESET!

That’s because nobody cares about the wnba. Cc is the attraction

Because no one on God’s green earth cares about high school level basketball

It's OK nobody watched Tiger for golf either 😂

yes, we are witnesses to the victimhood of caitlin clark, the richest and most famous player in league history before she dribbled on a wnba court. i certainly wonder why the other players feel some type of way about her. nothing like this would ever happen to a michael jordan (oh wait, the pistons), or a lebron (oh wait, his own teammates envied him immediately). or maybe, we should all stfu about this ridiculous racism-against-whites or racism-against-blacks madness and either watch or not watch the games. if you support clark, then stop pretending to care about her well-being more than herself or her own father. if you support reese, stop pretending that clark is an invention of the media as a white-folkhero while disacknowledging her winning two straight naismith player of the years, breaking the ncaa scoring record, and right now being one of five players in wnba history to average 15-5-5 in a season--despite her being only a rookie., OH and her team is now in playoff contention despite playing 6 of her first 10 games against the top 2 teams in the league. it is astounding that even in the context of women's basketball issues we find a way to invent mass hysteria and racial hatred, and this happens ALWAYS because of the collective and individual inability to--as a people with the ability to read--have more than one thought in their head about anything at the same time. americans might historically be the dumbest assortment of people in the history of mankind.

Bad girls club: WNBA edition

I try and watch the games for what they are and not compare em to the men’s game.

Truth.

@@SmartDave60 Basketball is my least favorite sport by far. I can't watch men's or women's. But I'm enjoying the drama in the WNBA.

LOL!! No wait it has already started.

there won't be any husbands there!

@@mcfirebug my thought exactly

Lmao straight up!💯😂

They will if both of them become great

I've said that all along......👏👏👏

Any games not featuring Clark, you mean.

@quinnosborn3441 Nope both have agendas

A bunch of fake fans just riding a social media wave I couldn’t agree more. This was well said.

most??? there is a loud minority who want things to stay the same. the majority of potential women sports fans find the pro leagues repugnant. but see a glimmer of hope in clark.

Exactly. One of the worst attitudes I have ever seen in professional sports. It's embarrassing.

💯

Y’all can’t be serious

@@adamant5550please explain

Please look up CC flop at Ohio State. That was terrible. I bet you won't though.

They did today on first things first!

Just for they record, just because you talk about a sport, doesn't mean people will be interested in it. Like that nonsense statement McNutt made. If they put on NASCAR, will you be watching the next race? How about if they talk tennis? Will you be tuning into Wimbledon? No you won't. You can't force people to like a sport they don't feel is entertaining.

The basketball is embarrassing.

If they talk basket Angel will be trash 🗑️ 😂😂😂😂 , 36% of layups . Zero shooting skills

@@DagenLucas the numbers suggest she is the 2nd best rookie.. she ain’t a perfect player but she is the 2nd best player in her class 🤷‍♂️

CC has her focus on the game and its amazing that the moment she gets the ball she knows where her teammates are and if they are open they get the ball immediately. Now in defense of the other players that want to make sure they score. the WNBA is all about me (except for CC) that's because there is a m in team.

JuJu Watkins, Paige Bueckers, Cameron Brink, Kate Martin, Nika Muhl, and Hailey Van Lith all got overlooked last year I thought due to Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese

Who cares

That's the truth.... Racist violent assault under the guise of "a basketball play". GTFOH

If Clark had chosen UConn, she'd probably win a couple titles but she'd just be another UConn player that people will eventually forget. By going to Iowa, she was able to become the most prolific offensive player in women's basketball history. She will be a known legend for a long time.

She didn't turn down UCONN. Geno didn't want her. He went to her high school and left at half-time due to her selfish play, attitude and the way she was screaming at her teammates. He wanted and got Paige Bueckers! 😅

@@ninacruiseu a got damn liar. Geno didn’t want her lmao

And she was given a flagrant. You commenting and didn’t watch the game. 🤣😂🤣

@@HonestLeighSpeaking Your not understanding. @afri00009 understands it's automatic. Reese saying it's a basketball play is her arguing it shouldn't be called a flagrant and that "playing by the rules" is playing with a "special whistle". No, it's playing by the rules in it was the correct call, this game.

​@@user-wd4ty9se7lno you are combining her statement, yes she said it was a basketball play because it was, and the special whistle wasn't especially about the flagrant foul

If it was violent it would have been a flagrant 2: it was a flagrant 1.

Why do ya’ll use coded language like violent… stop the dog whistles its disgusting…

It's not crazy with all the haiting these wnba players and former wnba players do on Clark. If this was a one off , then no big deal. But you can hear the hate in Reeses interview, last game she celebrated a cheap shot.

​@@soda8736they're top athletes with competitive fire. What do you want them to do? Bow down and worship her?

@@agag2684 absolutely not. But I can't see how some people can't admit the WNBA players and former have a personal agenda against Clark. Sherel Swoops literally made up lies to hate on Clark.

@@soda8736 of course there's bound to be some jealousy. She's the new hotshot rookie that people were saying was coming to dominate their league yr 1. Lebrons own teammates his rookie yr were downplaying him. People are holding WNBA to different standards. There actually having segments on are People being too mean to CC. When would people ever have segments on are people being too mean to a man

Bad rule in both the NBA and WNBA. These are basketball plays.

​@@GnofgWell the problem is players with bad intention can make it look like a basketball play but the main purpose is to hit the guy or gal on the head. If you watch old school bball, guys like Laimbeer or Malone used to raise their arm to block the shot or go after a rebound but at the same time they made sure to drop their elbows on their target's face player's face.

@@naofumiiwatani1763 no comparison to Lambeer. Lambeer is the dirtiest player ever. He went for the body. This was a basketball play. The flagrant foul rule is a poor rule both in the NBA and WNBA

@@Gnofg How dare they try to protect the vulnerability of players in the game with flagrant foul rules smh 😂😂😂😂

@@uncleb7821 it was a common foul. There is no intent. It happens all the time in the NBA and it sucks there too. The only team that really did cheapshots were the Pistons and they tackled you. I have watched every NBA finals since 1965. Do you have any evidence of head injuries from fouls? If you ever played basketball you would no this is a common foul. If no intent then it should only be a common foul.

It's exhausting!

Most people don’t care about race

​@@RageQuit29biggest lie you ever told yourself 😂😂😂

one was a basketball play and one was a cheap shot. Just be quiet bro. So by that logic Caitlin's a complainer because she leads rookies with technical fouls.

@@ryanrichardson7941There's no way you can compare a flagrant foul with technicals. All of CC's technicals were for complaining about hard fouls she wasn't getting calls for. Those hard fouls are now turning into flagrants.

Wow Nick wright ur daddy huh

Yt Fragility 😢

​@allenday24 Stop lying for CC. At least one of her techs was for cursing at the ref (f you) after SHE was called for fouls. She's been known for her potty mouth. She's a fierce competitor, not a wallflower!

They can't talk about it. Reese consistently embarrasses herself. She's a professional victim. Clark has never said anything to her or about her. Reese is obsessed with Clark. It's weird.

And she was given a flagrant. You commenting and didn’t watch the game. 🤣😂🤣

@@HonestLeighSpeaking He's not saying they didn't...he's talking about Chris....who's downplaying it on here and was doing the same thing on First Things First yesterday....it's why he's going with the "I guess it's the letter of the law, but..." nonsense and just saying it was a "hard foul".

So you disagree with Caitlin ? because she said it was just a basketball play .

Because nobody cares

@@ricorogers9319 I’m saying Chris and Rob were bemoaning the absence of coverage of the actual games and not just the drama and they are doing the same thing.

The WNBA just isn’t good enough to talk about, there’s high school games that are far more entertaining

Drama sells, can't really blame them for "reporting" it as it creates ratings. Just because I don't agree with the tactics, it doesn't make them invalid.

Exactly neither one of them dissect the game down...Chris was like did you see that hit CC across the head

@@dadillonfulok then do talk about it then

their wives are acting up at home they ha no choice but to act offended, lol.

So you watch "SPEAK" also

​@@samjones8501😂😂😂😂😂

She’s a walking double double. Everybody doing that?

@@dionshaewishum4179 Double doubles are overrated when the minimum requirements are 10 points 10 rebounds. You just have to camp under the basket, get rebounds, and then put a few back up, which is Reese's whole game. You can actually get both stats, rebound and bucket, both in the same play. Rebounds aren't hard to get when your whole focus is getting rebounds. Rebounds are guaranteed whenever there is a missed shot, you just have to be there to get it. Hell, Clark had 8 last game and she's a guard who plays perimeter defense who's not actively trying to get rebounds. The more impressive double double is points and assists. You actually have to create an assist in addition to the person needing to score for the assist to count. You can't score yourself and have an assist in the same play, unlike rebounding and putting it back up. In Reese's case, sometimes she can have 2-3 rebounds in a row from her own missed shots and then score. So that's 3-4 stats in one possession. And I've got a couple more stats about your walking double double: The Sky are 1-6 when Reese gets a double double, and they are 3-3 when she doesn't get a double double.

​@CultureB4U2 Highly sought after? Is this why Reese went 7th in the draft? Wasn't even the first choice of her own team.

@CultureB4U2 15 10? 11 10 maybe

@@dionshaewishum4179yeah because she’s rebounding her missed lay ups all night

They made Reese stand up and cheer when her teammate knocked Clark down when the ball wasn't even in play?? Really Reese could at anytime stop behaving the way she does.

@@chris20874 Exactly....she's like the chump who wrote that comment. She wants all the attention and acts like a clown and then cries any time she's called on it. "Pile on"...lol.

she needs to do the one thing she can't do. just stop talking about clark. that's it. she can't though, she needs to practice er layups.

Mashed potatoes and gravy. You can eat the mashed potatoes without the gravy, but you can't eat the gravy without the mashed potatoes. Reese is the gravy.

@@clarkkent1521 yup.

Yeah, she hasn’t been targeted 🤣🤣🤣

@@jasonlewis1926 I never said that but everything that happens to her is not targeted & she’s not the only player getting hit

​@@Truckloadlil Chicago Sky has only 2 flagrant fouls so far. Both on C.Clark. Not targeted?

Another person that doesn't know what woke means.

And Clark is the little girl that's going to save the league from the scary black women

The media has officially taken woke and changed the definition

@@donaldchesser157 White Media

For yall to say quit. Being a victim sure like to play victim a lot imagine crying over what a ROOKIE said at a press conference

😂

And Can'twin Clark looks just like Herman Munster 😂

​@NicThomas7144 can't win because she was drafted by the worse team in the league. Still out scores, assists, and 3 pointers made and only 2 rebounds behind miss Clark whose rebounds come from 50% of her own shot less than 10 ft from the basket. Lol you just a racist hater. Caitlyn may not be the hottest but she is definitely hotter than 90% of the bull dagger league.

What beauty pagent will Caitlin ever win, I'm curious to know!😂

In your head. The MAGA fanbase won't shut up about it despite them not even liking womens sports

People really letting their racial biases shine through and it's funny cos shoe on the foot the discourse would be completely different. It's a one way hostility and the fact that people cannot be honest about that I can't respect it. As a black man that has seen Serena, Tiger and Lewis Hamilton have struggles with trying to break into white dominated sports. I'm appalled at the hypocrisy on display and people pretending this is normal behavior

Because that’s an average basketball move + Clark initiated the hook

For the SAME REASON that no one is talking about Clark’s CONSTANT stiff arm push offs! 😂😂😂

We’re aware of her being a fiery competitor and apparently you forgot that her dad told her in one of her tournament games to shut up talking to the refs🤷🏿

Shut up 🙄

Cuz it is if you watch basketball

lol cc > reese and its not even close

Agreed why they not talking about Aja Wilson 35 10 5 or anything on the game.

I would take Brink over Reese. On paper not as productive, but Brink is not a detriment. I say that because Reese has 7 double doubles this year and the Sky are 1-6 when she gets them and are 3-3 when she doesn't. Small sample size, but it seems the more Reese does the more they lose.

she might be, Reese simply waits near the rim and then takes 2-3 shots under the rim to get a basket.
