The WNBA needs TO RID themselves of these Prima Donnas that act like big baby's because someone comes into the league that's actually a great player and They Don't Like It well to bad stop with the bs childish crap and play basketball and get better
Putting less effort into attacking their superior, not to mention, spending less time on social media, and putting more time into improving their game!
No Rookie has received this kind of attention, men or women. Guarded 90 ft out, double, triple teamed, bumped, gouged. To say rookie can expect this is SO INACCURATE AND AN ATTEMPT TO NORMALISE HER TREATMENT. Name any other rookie that has received this kind of treatment.
Thats because they are a woman's league. You are conflating men and women's sports. All women leagues have issues like jealousy and resentment. You just don't know it because nobody watches women sports outside of the Olympics.
@@johnbryan2414true! Male athletes use their jealousy to motivate themselves to work harder to improve their performance on the field or on the Court!
It is not the trash talk It is not the excessive fouls It is the refs acting as if the fouls did not happen And the blatant eye poke is way too far. In the NBA, Jordan, Bird, Barkley have had other players try to rough them up. (bad boys of detroit) But the ref's called the fouls. And when Barkley was trying to make his way down the court and the player guarding him was on him like a cheap suit, Barkley stopped dribbling and turned to the player and quit literally threw him off himself. Barkley made his point, but he also got the foul call. After that the refs started to call the fouls on the defensive player when they happened. We all know, as soon as Clark tries to stand up for herself like Jordan of Bird or any other players in the NBA would have, the refs would call a foul on her and not the offending WNBA player. The injustice is the refs failing to call the blatant foul committed on Clark. And where is the Fever coach to call out the refs for failing to call those foul There is no way in hell an NBA coach would let their player cuss out the refs, but that NBA coach would sure as hell be in the ref's face for not calling the fouls. Even if the coach got a technical. It reeks of corruption from the WNBA management. If the ref's are not being punished for failing to do their job. The WNBA management wanted it to happen.
Where was Caitlin's coach? Apparently you missed the articles that told how many fouls had been called against her, the coach, as well as the fact that she was constantly reporting all the flagrant fouls and thuggery to the association, so it's not like she was sitting there accepting it all as good or turning a blind eye. The whole WNBA needed to wake up and realize what they were accepting as OK actions that WERE NOT okay!!
@@carolc2472 I did miss it if the Fever coach did try to hold the ref's accountable on behalf of Clark. It is definitely not part of the highlights about this issue. I am glad to hear that the coach is doing her part to fight the corruption of the WNBA
Her toughness? Nobody has ever been subjected to the level of brutality Caitlin endured as a rookie and "swish, swish, swish" -- she shot them all down cold. The most hilarious payback I have ever seen as one rookie held the entire league accountable for its pettiness. The kid is a legend, and they are legendary losers, especially that sociopath who stabbed her in the eye. She is by far THE toughest, most talented, and poised player the WNBA has ever witnessed. They don't deserve her, and I hope she takes her billion-dollar presence elsewhere.
CC has broken more than 60 records in her rookie year. This says two things. It tells us not only how great Caitlin really is, but also how mediocre the league has been in general.
Most of us know how interesting women's basketball is. I can't name a single team, and I already forgot the name of the chick featured in this story. I did make it to 4:47 before remembering that I do not care.
I agree with you mostly, but there are players with bigger numbers than CC. If there weren't shed get MVP as well. That said, if she stays in the WNBA, and continues to improve, I'll be expecting her to get MVP year after year and if that happens, your comment will be proven right. I suspect, while CC is undoubtedly a generational player, the hype has a lot to do with her humility in the face of enormous negativity from established players.
Drop the WNBA from your viewing pleasure. The W is no better than a college level teams. Coaching is worst than top high school coaching, because the game is slow, poor passing, and no assist. Clark made the W worth watching.
I agree the ref's should be ashamed. We need to remember the ref's are employed by the league. Did the ref's ignore the fouls at the request of the league?
WNBA deserves to remain the joke of ALL sports leagues. The olympics is less of a clown show. These childish "veterans" that attack her deserve their low pay.
The wnba needs CC a whole lot more than she needs it. Just think about what she did for the league, and how she was treated for doing it. No gratitude, but game after game being bullied, and sometimes mugged. The blatant eye gouge would have been an assault charge out in public. We know that in the opposing locker room, that there was some hi-5ing going on after the game. CC, she got game, and the thugetts, have no shame.
@stephenfletcher1579 Well said. When bully behavior is ignored, it's condoned. Bully-culture, on the court, in the office. At least schools are starting to do something to fight it.
She outplayed many of the veterans in the league!!!!! Her game is far and wide better than most of the players, and the players who played with her had their game improved significantly, she was so good at seeing the court and passing to the players in the best possible position to score a win games
Thug life was on full & proud (WNBA gave no #$&@) display this season, disgusting for random ppl, like me, who tuned in & now out to see CC highlights ONLY!!
Chennedy Carter, just did not try to imitidate her but tried to put CC out of the game with an injury to her shooting shoulder. She tried to dislocate her shoulder with her move to up-lift the shoulder out of the socket!
Why doesn’t the coach take up for her when she is excessively fouled basically just beaten and thrown down.? Are the coaches in on it with the refs? Is this something has come down from on high the top of the WNBA? I would never watch a game without Clarke in it.

I dont care that much about genos remarks about cc rookie season but he and other big names need to scream at these horrible refs and weak leage execs about this abuse.
The WNBA “ladies” screwed the pooch. These players are now playing victim because they won’t own up to their hateful behavior. The coaches and referees will all be looking for jobs soon. Attendance at games will drop to nothing and they deserve what they get!!!
Watch her game,it does all the talking. When you have a player in any sport that makes all the others look common the one thing you see happen is aggression and anger. The reason they are literally sucker punching her and blind siding her is because it’s a last ditch resort and the only thing they can do to stop a superior player is try and hurt them. They have to attack her in force 5 on 1s and be bad sports or else lose .
I don’t remember there ever being any other player in their rookie year going through as much as Clark has endured……. Not Taurasi, not Sue Bird, not Breanna Stewart . They were respected and there was no jealousy shown towards their abilities. Clark has the same right to the respect others before her received.
Relating to title on the cover. It's alway someone did this to me! I can't be the cause of my own failure. That's parents giving their kids candy and praise when they need correcting.
Love watching her assist passes,great player with unbelievable bursts of speed that leave players thinking wtf just happenned ,no need to even talk bout her scoring abilities. 😂😂😂😂
So many people need to be shown to the door! From referees, to players, to commentators! she has done more for the women’s basketball game by HERSELF than all of the BIGMOUTHED naysayers combined! She is the GOLDEN GOOSE. The truth may sting but it WILL SET YOU FREE! The new GOAT has arrived and is here to STAY! The way Miss Clark is being treated is CRIMINAL!
All these players that play dirty do that because they're not good basketball players and Caitlin Clark is showing them up! So they resort to jealousy and racism and act like a bunch of 5 year olds. 💯
Clark's reaction to flagrant fouls, hard fouls and blind referees shows her Catholic upbringing, and Jesus' advice to turn the other cheek. She is the bigger and the adult in the arena for this.
The other players were clearly trying to injure her and take her out for the season and no one stopped them. She’s smart to leave the WNBA and go play European ball because they were eventually going to succeed and seriously injure her
What other rookie is guarded from half court because they know once she crosses half court she’s in range and sometimes she’s triple team what does that tell you
Tell these WNBA coverage channels to QUIT HARPING on these negative issues. Quit pushing hate for women on women! Quit creating scenarios where one woman has to step on another woman to be successful! STOP perpetuating this crap!
It reminds me Pelé, in soccer! Being the best of the best, he was always savagely hunted by opponents! But his answer was often by scoring more sensational goals!😂😂😂
Get us to a brighter future where the stories are about strengh and resiliency of a woman, without the catfight aspect, no more woman hating woman. Can we get there in about 10 - 20 years? Change the narrative of women stories?
A lot of them can only dish it out when it’s returned to them they start whining they just get upset because she’s better. She outplay them out hoops them and they’re extremely envy of her. They want to be her and they can’t or I should be unable to match her unless they cheat.
None of the other players are better than CC. Few are reasonably able to challenge her. Their JEALOUSY is overwhelming and disgusting. I will enjoy watching the league implode, now that she has decided to go elsewhere. Let them wallow in the pit of failure.
I wonder how many of these players will be smiling now that Clark and all her fans have left the WNBA, along with the private charter flights disappear that got to enjoy for a season. I hope the NBA stops picking up the tab for the WNBA since they’ve shown they are not interesting in building the league up. Add the Angel Reese possible steroid use, the next season will be a rude wake up call for these jealous petty girls (not woman, but children)
The bigger issue is "where are the other Fever players to back up their star point guard when she needs it?" There have been several plays during the course of the season and if this had been the NBA and even one of its most pacifist teams, would have resulted in the benches being cleared. I've said this a long time ago and since then several former big names in the NBA have also chimed in, namely Charles Barkley.
League a55holes: Come back, we didn’t mean it (heh heh). We’ll only poke out one eye at a time, & clip you from behind only 3x a game. C’mon, return to the punching bag league. We can dish it out but can’t take it. Whhaaaa!!! You did to me what I’ve been going to you ALL NIGHT!!
It's really disgusting that more of those flagrant fouls weren't called. It does start to look like a conspiracy. Oh well, more minimum wage for this league.
Who's paying off the refs to be so blind? If regs acted like that in a high school league, people would be protesting. But I only hear about the players. No professional ref, much less all of them in the WNBA, should be that bad.
The WNBA players have proven that they're not worth watching. The veteran players are completely envious and jealous of Clark. The WNBA isn't as much a sport as it is a hissy fit & cheap shots by a bunch of entitled women. Rookies like Princess Reese was just as bad. Reese couldn't succeed even while using steroids. They should all have been happy that Clark was bringing viewers, but no their pettiness wouldn't allow it. Their pettiness will prove to be their downfall. Taurasi proved that she didn't know what the hell she was talking about, Clark could run circles around her.
