Nobody cares what you think ladies….”condemnation”… lol

The WNBA as a whole is completely lost. They are in DIRE NEED of an outside PR firm. They shoot themselves in the foot at every single turn.

Unprecedented attendance and TV ratings. Then immediately call the very same people racist and misogynistic.

Demand equal treatment from media, salary, travel media coverage then immediately denounce a member of the media for asking the very tough questions they thought they wanted.

The majority of the players in the league are completely delusional and expect to be given things just because. They forget without massive NBA handouts every year this league would have folded a long time ago.

I don't follow the WNBA at all, but my impression has been along the lines here. How are they fumbling the bag of fan interest they've longed for so badly to be largely unlikable? Not including Clark in the Olympics was an unfathomably stupid marketing decision to boot.

You have star players that no one ever saw play till clark joined the nba and now the place is packed and they dont care about anyone but clark. You have a white, straight woman in a largely black league with many gay women.

Clark gets the opposite of the jordan whisle. Mostly fouled by black player. Is that cause she is white, straight. Is it jealosy. Is it welcome to the big leagues? They seen like nasty fouls.

The number of big women hoops personalities who have acted like aholes is just about all of them, geno on down.

If clark went away, so do the fans. Attendance up 48% cause of her. I get why tarausi and others are jealose and pissed. But so many publicly acting like spoiled, nasty brats is hard to fathom

And clark is for real. She is imo the best passer on a fast break or a cut. Man or woman. Sees where the ball has to go like a great qb. I watched the wnba a few times but only when she was playing.

The situation is unprecedented. Complicated. Disappointing. There used to be a fake newspaper on sale once in a while in nyc in the 80s. One sardonic headline was something like, "atomic bomb explodes in US. Michael jackson and billions of others die". And that is the wnba today.

SMH. Par for the course. The players and former players are so jealous of everything Caitlin Clark its disgusting. Instead of embracing the huge increase in attention she has garnered for women's basketball, they resent it - and her.

I watched the replay of the eye poke (attached below) and it looks completely intentional to me. To accuse a reporter who simply asked about it of being racist, homophobic and misogynistic is completely uncalled for.

How exactly is Diana Tarausi jealous and pissed about Clark?

How exactly is Diana Tarausi jealous and pissed about Clark?

Because players like Tarausi were excellent for a long time who put in a lot of effort to make the WNBA a better mainstream product but despite their efforts it never happened.

Then they watch after all those years a rookie come in and take over the headlines and single handedly change the attendance and coverage and it is reason enough to make the old timers and sub par players jealous. Not that I agree with their feelings

She has said some dumb things. Gino too. Surprised at both.

And what exactly do you base that on, other than your imagination?

Actually, I don't think either have.

It's amazing to me how the Caitlin Clark zealots have a meltdown over any statement that isn't a deification of her.

 

[HALL85]

She is a generational player like Bird, Magic or Jordan. The jealousy is because she’s that good.
