Why WNBA Players HATE Caitlin Clark & NBA Players LOVE Her 

Yes

They have a great chance to make the playoffs. Winning it all is another thing.

i dont know ...but she may save the WNBA

Nope, She can't do it alone, she will need the other ladies of the Fever team to help her.

Oh you bet I'm in the band wagon. Caitlin Clark is just getting started. Give her some time.

Who has been tearing her down?

​@@prettybrownbrown7 Most pro's were throwing shade. Diana Taurasi and especially Angel Reese fans.

@andrewcook1246 how was saying the wnba is different, there will be an adjustment period, throwing shade? It seems that she was right

@@prettybrownbrown7 14/3/3 on 30% which is basically numbers for the average wnba player 2 games in lol. They are jealous of the attention and money. In one Nike deal Clarke's gonna make more money than the entire league. It rubs people the wrong way especially those who believe they were better and never got any shine

@@andrewcook1246 ??? Not sure how this applies to my comment

Honestly, not in my community. Both she and Angel has made a huge impact. Angel is the reason I started watching WNBA again, and I love it again!

classic reaction among women

They’re just sour that all the efforts that they’ve put in to elevate the wnba over the years were incomparable to a rookie, who’s white and straight btw 😂

@@Ohtani9999 ....this "white and straight" thing is making me cringe... Its wild how people turn their agendas to player agendas...

​@@BadWolveThe WNBA is filled with entitled, angry black lesbians. If you really think Clark being straight and white has nothing to do with it, you're delusional

Same. I'm from Iowa and most dudes here didn't care much about female basketball because we never envisioned how fast paced these women play.opened up our eyes a bit.

​@@RonniejamesleoI'm with ya. Just watched my 1st WNBA game ever...with Caitlin! Bought the season pass. Gonna watch Kate Martin and Nike Muhl. Been watching those 2 for 4 years. It was a great recruiting class for the WNBA. WILL THE HATERS DESTROY THEIR OWN LEAGUE.....SOME MORE!!!

Same. That's why she could have a Jordan like effect on the money in the WNBA.

Ross your here watching.

Exactly, I hate basketball but for some reason I'm here. Maybe the wnba cab raise enough money to send griner back to Russia

She’s the only one that’s gonna sell tickets

@@Andy_Babb Cameron Brink looked really good. She must be on a better team. Hopefully the new draftees take over and the league transitions. Next season they can cut the veterans and go with more draftees. Rebuild the league with modern basketball.

@@_PatrickO Hope so. The league is practically nonexistent right now.

And this is exactly why she is the one getting all these lucrative deals that they aren’t getting.

And this is why those wnba players will be on her ass all game, cuz ppl like you think she is the only one who knows how to hoop

She having won anything just hype.🤣😂

PEANUT BUTTER AND JEALOUS

and racism.

And racism.

@@bobby12348 CC won signature basketball. Only CC nad Micheal Jordan have that , and that's hurt a lot. 🤣

She is a Christian.

True facts

If angel reese acted like caitlyn they would kiss the ground she walked on

You forgot the majority of those who hate her. Not that it has anyone to do with color. 1🙄

​@@opfreak Angel is a flop. She proved she knows how to foul out of a game.

Yes, sorry for that mistake PU-Family!

😂😂😂😂🎉

​@@PU-Basketballbuckeyes is Ohio.😂

Lol buckeyes is one of our biggest rivals.

Ty is gonna lose his shit when he sees this video 😂😂😂😂

Good point. Women eat their young.

Agreed.

like thats it LOL

That’s the most biased thing I’ve ever seen

Add to that how much black people hate white people and the gays hate straight people

That was a little much lol.

She IS the next Jordan! She is the best athlete in world history! She is god! WORSHIP HER!!! She deserves millions before her first season while the other WNBA players get nothing!!! Are you trying to get us lynched?

Larry Bird and Magic Johnsons daughter..

Clark Kent - ready to turn into Superman.

She can have an impact like Jordan I think that's what he meant to say..

Lol...😢😢😢😂😂

This isnt aging well 😢

🎯

Compared to who? Name one NBA player you honestly believe Caitlin Clark can out play?

@@twilliams2433he said “like” not “better”

IMO it's both. They both feed into each other.

​@@Magic.God.Othinus As well as their insecurties😮

Wow white folks calling racism ain’t that something lol

Sounds like victim mentality. Just work harder.

No prejudice just jealousy

Yeah, that focus is a weapon.

Oh boo Tom Brady never got as much attention as Caitlyn is getting.

According to her last two games, she is only a threat to herself. But, I'm gonna keep watching. Hope you do as well.😊

vincemarino1939 Caitlin is a threat to winning. Cause she keeps losing.🤣🤣🤣

She will disappear, yes she will give you points here and there but them turnovers are at a historic level, not racism just truth about the mediocre yt person getting hype praised upon them when they aren't that good,

@@fredhamptongunclub8074 Yes Racism, since only Candace Parker and Sabrina Ionescu had as many points and assists in their first 7 games as Caitlin. Caitlin's P.E.R. , how the NBA rates player effectiveness, has her 15th out of 144 WNBA players, and 35 spots ahead of the next rookie. The Turnovers have come down and will continue to do so. Also, ROY is determined by PER, not votes, so Caitlin will win that by a mile. And she is the biggest draw by many magnitudes, making the league more money than they ever dreamed. But keep on hoping.

@@walterdavies2984 She is on her way to ROY, will earn over 10 million dollars in sponsorship, and is the reason the players now can fly charter and get some recognition. Or, she can go play in Europe, and half the league has to continue working jobs in the off-season. Ya'll are SO DUMB.

Have fun fighting through airports, layovers, canceled flights, and flying coach.

Good one. Great insight, irony, sarcasm, and truth.

I would love that for her just to show them how valuable the actual FANS see her!!! But only after her first season so there could be actual context to compare. The owners of those teams would be putting league wide memos out for all the players to STFU!!! lol

@@StudentOfLife365so would I

They lost them points are pointless lol

@@lorimabee2564 Relax. If she scored 50 points it would still be pointless. Cuz it's a PRESEASON game!

@@lorimabee2564 It's pre-season. wins don't matter, evaluated talent does matter.

I like the WNBA record she broke in her Debut that contributed to their 21 point loss.~ 10 Turnovers!😏

You obviously don't follow the WBNA. There are some of the greatest women in the sport playing.

@jsjazz12 Glad to hear it. That is why I asked the question. These days, the malcontents get too much attention everywhere.

You are absolutely right about US Women’s Soccer. Back in ‘08, I ran into the team when they were visiting the DMZ in Korea. They were incredible and great ambassadors for the sport and the US everywhere they went! Both the US and Korean media were following them everywhere and they were front page news! Flash forward just 5 years and all that goodwill started to disappear when you know who showed up…

@@scottwendt9575 Yah. Wish I was wrong. 🙄

There are, but as in any big group, the few most vocal at the top set the publicly perceived tone of all the players.

Yes, she can't shoot going to her right, and she is a turnover machine.

what does being black have to do with anything

Who cares your skin color? She's a decent player and hasn't shown or proven anything different.

They are jealous with her Signature basketball. Only MJ and her had it and it will hurt them a lot. 🤣

On a stacked ass team with nothing but all-Americans as well

Diana's points are valid for sure. It's just the total disdain in her delivery that makes it seem more personal than MAYBE it is. We also have to understand that college is a cult, and Taurasi was in Cultville, UConn, so again, when referencing Paige, the favoritism towards the UConn connection shows up in Taurasi's voice, meaning that if Paige played for Iowa and Clark played for UConn, Taurasi's comments would be completely reversed even though she would have been speaking about the exact same players. (A big part of it may not be related to the Caitlin/Paige debate, but rather the UConn vs non-UConn angle.) Peer pressure from her UConn connection, whether real or perceived, I'm sure has an effect on how she views, and vocally translates those views on audio/video, referring to the non-UConn star Clark and the UConn star Paige. Some people just are perceived as abrasive even though they may not be as abrasive as they come across to the masses.

@@qt3dot14ish No way!!! Tarausi straight up is so afraid Of Clark. As she will be better and she not from Uconn. And she is not gay. ( thats just a fact so I do not want anyone to be upset about my statement)

College teams play against 64 other teams in the Final 4. The WNBA plays against only 11 other teams.

I know. When that player was locked up in Russia, I was like, Okay. She deserves it. Now, don't get mad. I wouldn't want any American to be in a Russian prison.

Don't forget that the coaches and some of the WNBA players look like Jowanna Man.

What they're not understanding, is the NBA went through similar times when it was first created!! It took time for them to grow into the monster it is!!

Sit down and shut up? We ARE talking about WOMEN - especially black women. Many women don't know how to do that.

So trickle down economics then? Everyone already already knows the wealth NEVER trickles down, Reagan.

​@the13xiii52 Yeah, so this is a basketball league not the US economy. Not even remotely comparable whatsoever.

There is no explaining this to grown adults if they already don't understand it. That's one of the problems in America, we always think we can rationally explain things to stupid people. Ego and irrational emotions can supersede the money issue.

@@qt3dot14ish We just want an explanation of why the black girls that beat Kaitlyn in 2 championships don’t get to be the game changer. Why don’t they land the first ever million dollar endorsements for WNBA. Why don’t they get covered in PRADA for the draft. Just answer the question, honestly.

So funny!

Preach! She's like Tiger Woods.

No 🐐! She is most definitely a baller, but came up short in the NCAAs which would have lifted her to that status.

@@othellosson1621 Did you ever hear of the Indiana State team that was beaten by Michigan and Magic Johnson in the NCAA finals? A guy named Larry Bird played for the losing team.

@@larrygriffis But he went to the NBA and won with a killer team!

@@othellosson1621 , that is life sometimes a great player shines on his or her own in this case without the laurels to show off.

@@Wolfen443 The truly great ones shine regardless of the circumstances while collecting the highest accolades!

To me she’s more like Larr Bird. She just needs a Majic to play off of

@@leonardgatonska564 Iowa did remind me of Indiana State.

Sadly, the WNBA players have created more heat with potential fans (in this case, newcomer fans who are following Caitlin Clark) than with opposing teams. I used to watch the WNBA when it first started, and what I remember most was the Comets-Liberty games. I still haven't felt the romance for a WNBA rivalry the way I felt about that.

No folks more toxic than the Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe combo.

Thing is Bird and magic were both likeable Caitlin is too but not sure if Reese is? I know most of the woman players in we WNBA are toxic and not likeable

Reese is very likable. They are competitors, it's what the broadcasters and media decide to focus on.

They're the only reason I watched any college basketball this year, and I plan to watch games of the WNBA this year, and I've never watched a game. All the girls will profit because of Caitlin, sold out games and TV revenue will set records this year.

CC manages to be graceful, while going all out! If women don't start watching now, they never will.

Jealous??? She did the hand gesture first to Angel but YOUR PPL somehow thought Angel should’ve been fined that’s why we aren’t receptive. CC waving blk players off but she didn’t bank on her going to a predominantly blk league…Stop the madness…Diana Taurasi is white and so many others as well that we root for.. stop the bs..

racist?

That's not the issue. Clark isn't changing the money flow to the NBA players, and the owners are so rich that, obviously they will take the subsidy reduction, but they aren't losing sleep over that small amount of money.

@@qt3dot14ish I was mostly joking lol but they are kind of annoyed that they (nba) subsidize the W but still hear them complaining about not making enough and not getting support from the men. I think they’re annoyed the women aren’t capitalizing on the opportunity out of pride and jealousy.

Amen. Amen. The people who glorify her now, will make her life harder. Let's see what she can do. Her team did not win a title. She did not lift Iowa unless Iowa can get new players and transfers like South Carolina.

That’s a slap in the face to all the current players. Maybe that’s why she is winless.

@@scout7060 So, insinuating that the current players aren’t talented is not an insult ? You don’t have to put other players down to make Caitlin look good. If she has the talent it will speak for itself.

Stop lying 😂😂😂. I’ve never watched WNBA either but know a few players and pretty sure you’ve heard a few names 🤦🏽‍♂️

So you honestly saying you couldn’t name one player past or present

​@@Thomasraymunwho was really watching wnba before Clark came along?

@@Thomasraymun Not one. I have never cared for the W, the greater masses haven't either. It's not about women because I love women's tennis, volleyball, T&F, WNCAAB (I pay no attention to names I just want certain teams to win) and Olympic sports, it's just the W was never anything most have wanted to pay attention to.

@@Thomasraymun Never, and even to this very moment, I only know three and two are from Iowa.

Either she's better than them or she's bigger, more known and more marketable. NBA players support the wnba for the most part especially the ones who have daughters .

Your point is so shallow..............................yet 100% accurate!

WTF! Caitlin is flat chested with a rail thin frame and a large protruding adam apple, is that your example of a Playboy model. Four years of college basketball and their was never any mention of her having a boyfriend; now all of a sudden she supposedly has a boy friend who plays for the Pacers, but according to you she's the first straight wnba player. 🤣🤣

really?? ouch

I agree

She no Goat by losing every game.😂😂🤣

@@bobby12348 yeah but she is the only reason I’m following the WNBA right now. So there’s that.
