Why Nike Banned the Caitlin Clark Shoe

Absolutely. Leadership at the top is non-existent. The only thing she seems to do is cower in the face of political correctness and placate the moaners and complainers. A good commissioner would start with a crackdown on over-the-top flagrant aggression in the league, put in place a program to monitor, review, and address the terrible refereeing in the league, and step down on players, coaches, and owners who blindly label good supportive fans with blanket terms like racists. I can't believe the owners overall aren't screaming at Engelbert to get her act together and address some of the most dysfunctional aspects of this league.

And a brain !

They need to replace anyone who is responsible for this league as it stands.

A. The racist filthy media, WNBA and ESPN ladies have had goals from the start. One (1) was to not give Caitlin the MVP Nor The ROTY award and succeeded in one since they had promised Aja the MVP EVEN BEFORE The season started. 2. To have The Fever and Caitlin lose as many games as possible and as was obvious to lose in the playoffs (The Fever WOULD HAVE WON that series but for the WNBA's filthy tactics). 3. Losing the Playoffs meant they knew had the Fever won they may just win the whole thing and they could not allow Caitlin to become maybe the Biggest Athlete the world has ever seen, surely the biggest female ever. 4. As suggested above, the WNBA players have easily damaged Caitlins greatness--she would have been even greater if not for the physical and mental abuse that has been allowed by the WNB (and NBA since they pay the WNBA). Those were their goals. Moving on, (B) nothing was done against RACISM when C Carter shoved Caitlin down and calling her a "White B#$%@#" but the WNBA states they 'wont tolerate hate or racism...'? They have beaten Caitlin Clark up, both physically and mentally and they expect the masses to just go along with it?!!! THAT IS WHY there is much unrest within CC's fans, because the WNBA and the racist media turn a blind eye to the abuse the THE White girl who has actually helped this filthy league rise. If the abuse on Caitlin was not tolerated by the WNBA/Refs, nor by the heads of ESPN, Disney, ABC and others, all things would have very much more peaceful and neutral presently. C. The WNBA players claiming Fever fans are the ones who are too abusive. These uneducated ladies can't read nor can't see nor are reason and logic their forte. The hate towards Caitlin is MUCH greater and has been for a long time which is why Caitlin/Fever fans need to stand up for her and what is right and sound because she wont. D. It is these WNBA players, the ones hating Caitlin and her awesomeness, who have made all of this a Black and White issue while at the same time they indirectly piss on Asians and Latinos for totally ignoring them in just about every branch of entertainment. They cry out racism yet they too dish it out towards every other race, ethnicity and background. REMEMBER, there are many Asians and Latinos who also enjoy Caitlin Clark and want her to play over seas, so are they racist, too, not to mention there are many Blacks who also support Caitlin?

You have to understand it's all the other shit that happens as a result of it. Every time CC is hit with a slight hard foul you have her fans saying the most racist, wild shit you can imagine and trying to protect her way too much.

@@The2006Scaper I feel like most cc fans wouldn’t mind going back to 1950s America if u know what I mean

@@HenryZhoupokemon Yeppp feel that 100%

​@The2006Scaper your argument is irrelevant when you accept Wilson is mvp and isn't played like this.

Why are my comments gone

Easy points to note are defence and to a lesser extent, off ball play. If she can improve in these areas, she'll be really well rounded.

yeah all those records including ROTY but she needs improvement. MMMM, HMMMM.

Could you explain how she is now getting a shoe when she’s been dominating the wnba

Who cares that you are black. It’s just skin color. Stop using it as a talking point. Who gives a fuck.

@@PirateD.KingLuffy Because in the past 20 years, only 5 or so WNBA players have ever had a Nike Signature shoe. This shit has never been a given for even the best WNBA players. MOST of the women getting signature shoes have been in the past few years. So Aja is right on schedule for the new wave. Caitlin is ahead of schedule because she's pure box office. And that fact should be understandable on its face, not met with jealous objections.

I totally agree

Aja Wilson is the best player in the WNBA, it's not even close.

@@The2006Scaper- BS. She can do some things and is a good player but Aja in not on the same level as an all around player and never will be.

@@Idkwhattoputhere24-m8v CC cant guard a traffic cone and has limited offensive skillsets. She doesn't even have a floater package yet. A'ja can be utilized anywhere on the floor to make offense for herself or her teammates and guard 1-5 every single night. MVP and DPOY multiple times. Tell me how CC is clearly better all around? As a black man to another black man you're embarassing us and need to pack this take up.

@@jamesballard3457 maybe it's because caitlin is a guard that is required to do multiple things that A'ja Wilson isn't supposed to do.

@@jamesballard3457 horseshit, stop talking out of your ass. Aja is a far superior player, CC still needs to develop.

@@qnonbs How is this racism?

@@Dimesprodzblack women hate that a white women is dominating their game

@@Dimesprodz they’re hating on Caitlin because she’s so good tht she takes away from other athletes, specifically colored athletes. By definition, racism is prejudice against any given race. She don’t gotta be black gng

@@DimesprodzIt’s actually reverse racism

⁠@@Erick-ui8ge Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, Sabrina, Diana Taurasi dominated and there was no hate. You’re generalising and acting like it’s only black women that play/watch the sport

Couldn’t agree more

Great white hope indeed.

lol

Then she needs to be black just like RDJ.

The only reason CC is getting all this attention is because she is the new white hope, cut the BS.

There's no such thing as 'reverse racism'. It's just racism. Never use the term 'reverse racism' - it gives credence to all the morons.

Not comparable. LeBron had high levels of hype from Highschool. Caitlin became popular in college. Also different leagues may have an effect.

Yet LeBron praised her.

They were working on the shoes for probably a year.

But the process to develop his sneakers was done years before they came out. Remember each sneaker has to be patent approved which takes 22 months to do.

We have gone way beyond petty with this wnba bs

i heard Sabrina's are good but with what Aja said bout that white player... hell nah

It will be a symbol of woke and celebrities will buy and wear it as a statement. But that's it. It won't sell more 400,000k pairs and that is taking her viewership into account. While Caitlin's Wilson basketball and Jersey's are selling insane even after restock after restock.

What does "wokeness" have to do with this.

@@Dimesprodz Yea even that guy doesn't even know wtf he's talking about. Simply put, Nike is just trying to chase the money and is in scramble mode

@@Dimesprodz everything

@cheesun124 No, it doesn't. People don't have to like Caitlin. If they don't It doesn't make them "woke." Nike, choosing Aja doesn't Mena they have anything against CC they chose another marketable player that is receiving the MVP.

Come on Dimesprodz..open your eyes.

I think she could sue them and get out of the contract. I'm sure there is a case to be made that she is losing money because of their refusal to put out a shoe for her while she is red hot.

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with her skin color. Caitlin Clark, is just an extremely good basketball player that wasn’t welcomed to the WNBA, for many reasons; with skin color being the least of the reasons!

So woke they sell expensive shoes that cost a few bucks to make by people in some of the worst conditions on Earth

What about sketchers? Perfect fit for her and her fanbase.

These “as a black male” comments are so cringe .. pandering to gain favor for expressing an opinion… weak

@blsfinest1981 We have to let it be known, otherwise you'll think it's another racist W person smh. Again, America's race problem is real, I just don't buy into the BS when I can clearly see that it's BS. I'm not going along with you just because our skin is the same color. I raise the flag! I have been employed in a position where it was my job to enforce EEO. I never lost!! I'm not perfect, but I know that this CC negativity is BS.

​@@blsfinest1981 not really...we have to separate ourselves from the weirdos that indulge in racial idolatry

Maybe Simone Biles could get these women in a room and talk to them about what it takes to be great and become a sports icon and a product mover. That girl earned it.

Less than you think.

I’m one those who followed and then watched the games. It’s hard not to root for her. After a few months , I purchased her Jersey. I followed until her last game of the playoffs. I cancelled my sports subscription service . Will bring it back on once WNBA season start. The rest of the league is really unwatchable. No one will watch. Clark, is fun to watch. The rest are flat footed players

Facts 😂😂❤❤

no doubt

Good for u

Its clutch he has that bar on the bottom for ez skipping 😂😂😂

Uhh, who watches ads willingly?

Fr, I didn’t even see highlights or publicity about it

No one ever does and I don't that would've changed.

They would've lost. Too many turnovers from 1 player, They won which means she wasn't needed.

Your editing is so smooth, appreciated it!

@@-mpyour editing is so smooth, appreciate it!

bot ahh

Bot

Not CC’s fault, it’s you guys fault that come watch only to be ignorant about the league and troll

Yes!

Thanks obomba

U can thanks obomba

I doubt they will ever be limited. I say because she avoids signing stuff that she thinks someone will immediately put on Ebay for profit. I don't think she'd want one of her shoes so exclusive that only the wealthy could have them.

Sketchers is more fitting.

Honestly, that's how it is on the internet. Like a swingset, the higher the hate, the more crazed the fans, and vice versa.

@reaper_is_unavailable In person, too. She said she experienced it in the game.

@@reaper_is_unavailable that doesn’t make anything right 😂 and Aja should’ve been had a shoe regardless of Cc

Internet trolls and fans are too different things people 😂

@@IsaacBenton-y4y I just feel it’s different when it’s trolling and straight up racism 😂the George Floyd pic was crazy

The beauty of pro sports is that you don't make it without hard work and talent. Your skin color doesn't get you anywhere if you can't perform. Does she really think that CC is where she is because she's white? She set the all-time scoring record in college. She was making shots from a distance never seen in women's college basketball and rarely seen in men's basketball. She took two teams to the NCAA finals that may not have made the tournament without her. I used to admire her, but I'm so over A'ja Wilson. When her shoe sells weakly and Clark's sales go through the roof, I'm sure she'll be bitter about it, and not give a thought to how her own negativity is turning people off to her.

@@francesw.6774 I love Aja Wilson but yeah.. Pretty disappointed she's pushing that privilege nonsense.

No one

But you guys wanna cry about people “hating” on Clarke when y’all are everywhere hating on every other WNBA player

@@shaunaedee4540 Aja Wilson is unbearable from a personality standpoint shes a center not a guard and nobody wears shoes that are meant for them or forwards from a basketball perspective. Lastly she herself is delaying her shoe development because she has come out and said she wants final say which wont happen in a season. Her having a shoe is ok but its not going to be a shoe people will buy unlike sabrinas cause they are a guard shoe and shes less woke
