BREAKING: Aja Wilson GOES CRAZY After Iowa Retire Caitlin Clark’s Jersey On Same Day! THIS IS CRAZY!

[@Zane-no5dy]

I'm sorry, but until CC22 came along, I had never heard of a'ja wilson or any other wmba player

[@jimbintz2424]

That was Dan Patrick's and Stephen A's point. Until CC NOBODY KNEW ANY PLAYERS IN THE WNBA, unless you were a diehard fan.

[@thomasgirty6397]

crying about the FAN'S SPENDING MONEY??? keep your whiny ,NBA subsidized ,elitest nose out of my wallet. even when fan's put money in thier pocket ,they STILL cry!!!

[@jlaguilar369]

I knew of one by name B.G and only because she got her ass locked up in Russia and a couple of players from the past. I knew Becky Hammond only because she played for the San Antonio Stars and Pop hired her after her career ended as a player. Honestly WNBA was never a hot topic until Clark. I’m sure there’s been some great players in the past, but nobody knows who they are. Oh and I’ve heard of Sue Bird and that’s it.

[@normagwilliam8160]

These black players obviously don’t know how to win friends and influence people-it’s like they are kindergartners fighting for a toy. It’s nuts, and I’ll only watch Caitlin.

[@MacBigUSA]

A’ja left South Carolina in 2018 - six years ago! Why wait six years to retire a jersey? Everything A’ja does just makes her more and more unlikable, yet misguided Nike keeps giving her more and more money!

[@edwardbietsch993]

Nike is not in good financial shape. Saw they lost 33 million, with 25 million in revenue (quarter) last time I looked, after lunch, the stock was down $2. I will not ever buy a Nike product, even with Clark attached to it.

[@charbenz2768]

Why did Aja's school wait until this year to retire her jersey. How long has she been with the wnba? It sounds like they're only doing it now because Caitlin's school is doing it.

[@rkorsberg]

@charbenz2768: Just like Aja's Nike Deal....Aja Wilson follows what Caitlin does and rides Caitlin's lead....riding Caitlin's coattails....In REALITY , nobody had ever heard of Aja Wilson until Caitlin Clark joined the WNBA, and few are going to care about Aja Wilson's College retiring her jersey.

[@smsler5569]

Wilson shows how jealous and racist she really is. You think she would be happy for the new excitement of the league with Clark.

[@DorthedaHeuer]

Some are saying Aja had her planning first never heard of Aja’s jersey 6 years later after graduating!! OMG how funny! 😂 If they are so concerned Aja not getting her ALL attention that day they can wait another 6 years and plan again! 😂

[@KellyWilliams-g2s]

The way Aj has been trying to one up. more likely they picked the date just to voice complaints. Jr high actions once more. Where have the adults gone ?

[@cdnrednek1027]

It's unbelievable how petty jealous women act. Why did it take so many yrs for them to retire her number, they've only had 6 yrs to do it. Suddenly now on the same date, sounds like someone wanted to cause controversy.

[@gordonclay3657]

I appreciate your report and perspective. However, it is clear to me that A'ja's camp came to this date way after it was public knowledge that the Fever had announced theirs. The Fever notified the WNBA before scheduling was set that they would like to have a home game on that date to celebrate. It wasn't until later that A'ja's camp decided to use the same strategy and date and then complain about the Fever. It was A'ja's group that created the conflict late in the game and then stirred the pot. A'ja and her team are complainers and I think the situation with jersey sales and event ticket sales clearly show that potential A'ja and many past A'ja fans are tired of her negativeness, blaming, racist comments, and that the majority of Fever fans are there because Caitlin takes the high road and isn't blaming others for her failures when she make them. She takes responsibility. A'ja's always looking to blame others for her inferior performance in the playoffs. It boils down to What have you done lately, not last year or the years before. That's "has been." Also, Caitlin and A'ja have the same list of records to hold and break. Last year, Caitlin broke and held at least 62 of them. How many does A'ja hold and how many did she add in 2024? I'll bet A'ja doesn't come close in 2024 even with the WNBA purposefully scheduling the worst team in 2024 to start a tough on the road schedule. That back fired in the long run and Caitlin didn't need three other Olympians on her team to win.

[@PJ-ob5mt]

they could have retired Wilson years ago just petty jealousy unlikeable. I knew Caitlin Clark before she entered the Wmba she had always put butts in seats eyes on tv also helped and supported the community cc is Iowa's best supporter

[@WayneScank]

Wilson needs to grow up

[@shaunwalker-y4n]

the way A'ja plays she is semi retired....like all the other never was's or unknowns and wanna be's......

[@doylescharnick1588]

@@PJ-ob5mt If you watch A'JA game on black players didn't try stop her from scoring. Because this league don't want Caucasian to look good.

[@catsbythefire]

If you want to call disrespect, then ajas camp totally disrespected CC by picking the same day. CCs jersey retirement has been in the plans for months. It really doesn’t matter though, they both have totally different fan bases. For the price difference, $64.00 for ajas and $1000.00 for CCs, they don’t set the price. aja I’m sure will bring on the water works at her ceremony, while CC will raise up her team. One is me, me, me......the other is team, team, team. Why did ajas team wait 6 years to retire hers? Perhaps because CC was getting hers retired right after she left college 🤔 gotta wonder.

[@WayneScank]

Yes, A Wilson: Grow Up

[@bradtucker2586]

It's sad when these WNBA women blame someone else for there screwed up carreer. They can't take the pressure let alone the knowledge that they were never in the game

[@shaunwalker-y4n]

A'ja is crap...typical mundane 2 dimensional player with nothing original to offer...where as Caitlin is like a magician who casts spells on the basket ball...NO comparison..

[@teddyppuca912]

On paper, Aja's team is one of the most talented in the league. Not to mention, A'ja is regarded as one of the most physically imposing athletes in the WNBA. Yet she disappeared when her team needed her in their playoff run. Meanwhile, Caitlin took a team that was widely regarded as talented underachievers and got them to believe in them selves and reach their potential.

[@Timbad316]

All wilson has too do is what clark ia doing its really simple its called..... PLAY THE GAME...... thats the differnce between the two players wake up wilson just play ur game let your actions of game play do ur talking Hello....its not hard too figure that out.

[@elviejoinez]

Clark's jersey retirement was planned before that of Aja. Also, Aja left South Carolina six years earlier and it seems that the South Carolina jersey retirement was to compete with Clark's.

[@DorthedaHeuer]

CC fans are going to Iowa and Aja fans are going to South Carolina. Grow up people 1000 miles apart and believe me I will not be watching Aja but CC!! Go CC!! Congradulations!! ❤

[@user-ROBSTIME87121]

So whatever school wilson went to decides, 6 years later, to retire her jersey on the same day as Caitlin Clark. That is perfect, they say, we can ride on the monster wave that Clarks' retirement festivities will create! One big difference is in order to get any attendance at wilsons, we better have cheap tickets ($64.00) to try to fill the arena! Clarks tickets ($1000.00) are almost sold out! You be the judge who is the childish one here! By the way, Iowa had this scheduled months before they even decided to do wilson.

[@danielrhodes7594]

SC has been waiting since 2018 to retire Aja Wilson's jersey! Really, why wait so long if she is such a great player?

[@PhilBryant-r2m]

South Carolina should just go ahead and do it.Theres the old era of Aja and the new era of Clark There’s no reason they both can’t celebrate the same day but remember that Clark’s was planned way ahead of Aja’s.

[@jimsweezey7761]

A'ja is way too insecure & jealous. Caitlin Clark is a super star who has brought WNBA back to life , she has made the W.N.B.A popular for a change.

[@MrMichaelBCurtis]

got to love the story showing only Clark in the background for the entire story.

[@jimbintz2424]

It's not because of jersey number...it's Groundhog Day! Like when CC shoots 3 pointers. It seems like the same thing repeating over and over.

[@DiegoSantana-q7p]

Sorry! I had never ever heard of A'ja Wilson until CC started playing in WNBA, and even then, it was more than half a season to know who she was. CC is the one reason why I found out there was a WNBA in the first place.

[@thomasgirty6397]

[@eduardoante5581]

I am from the Philippines. What I know #22 is Caitlin Clark. I did not know that A'ja is also a #22. Take note for 6 years USC did not retire A'ja jersey, they will do so only when Iowa CC22 will be retiring her jersey this coming "2.2."2025. Also, did you know that there is an ESPN promotion coverage of CC22 during her Iowa days? Not a single second was A'ja name mentioned. Lastly, ticket prices on CC22 cheapest price to see is $500+ while A'ja is only $64. What a joke people.

[@MyronRiley-u5l]

We don't care!

[@elva9351]

Aja Wilson has been out college several years, so why has she not requested her jersey be retired on any of the previous years before? After her first year, CC's #22 has become one of the most famous number in the WNBA? Didn't it occur to Aja W. or anyone else that after her first year CC and or her Iowa College would do what they are doing on February 2, 2025?

I have never heard of A'ja Wilson before Clayton Clark. Clayton Clark is hands down the best and greatest WNBA player. She will win the MVP in 2025, 2026, 2027, etc. and the WNBA will be just as popular as the NBA! Stop being a racist A'ja Wilson and enjoy your newfound fame, compliments of Clayton Clark.

[@robertmesa4603]

If you look at the history of the players that resent Caitlyn is actually due to their assaulting racist hatred towards her. Caitlyn has worked hard on her skills to be one of the Elite. She earned her respect by being good hearted and Unselfish and compassionate not only to her fans , but also to others . Others that seek the spotlight seem to feel that they're entitled to it and are owed. Caitlyns light shines from within and she asks no one for any type of favoritism nor entitlement. Others will do whatever they can to disrupt her career plans as we can all see by the negative comments and attacks. I for one will not respect those lest it is earned by their walk matching their actions as Caitlyn has. I believe that aja found out the Fevers plan to retire #22 and planned to create kaos by trying to derail those plans on 02/02/2025 strictly out of vindictiveness.

[@ruthrobinson910]

Is it CC's fault Aija can't command more fans, viewers, ticket sales, ticket prices, etc.? Lol!

[@CliffordDearing-kq5rc]

Wilson 6yrs. Iowa next yrs. Wilson deal seems funny

[@MikeMudamba]

The Iowa Hawkeyes have retired three jerseys in honor of the women's program. So fast? Not at all - Megan Gustafson (2015-2019), jersey no 10 was retired 2020; Michelle Edwards (1985-1988) jersey no 30 was retired 1990. The most recent being Caitlin Clark (2020-2024) jersey no 22 retired in 2025. Iowa University is well within it’s routine timings in my view For USC this is from their practice and regulations - "By policy, there is a five-year waiting period after a former Gamecock student-athlete’s last final season of participation before their jersey can be considered for retirement." So they acting within their frame, should and should not have to bring in matters at Iowa.. For example - Tiffany Mitchell (2012-2016) jersey no 25 was retired at Williams-Brice Stadium in 2023

[@ernestamboe6381]

Rather than fighting over this, WNBA would benefit more by having a nationality televised combined ceremony. Try actually cooperating and celebrate both athletes.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but it seems to me that CC plus Iowa fans and AW plus South Carolina fans aren't the same people, so why can't they have the ceremonies on the same day?

[@claire4006]

A'ja - if there is an award for cry bully of the year - you win, hands down. Face it, the only reason USC is retiring your number this year is because Iowa is retiring CCs number. If they wanted to do it, what took so long, 8 years? Dawn Staley got out in front of it barely. USC had to know that Iowa had this already planned to do this at a home game on 2-2-25. It's not unlike when the Patriots planned to retire Brady's number on 6-12-24 6 for the number of Super Bowl wins and 12 for TB12 himself. Clark is number 22 - A'ja also wears 22 as it turns out. Deal with it or whine about it for the next 2 and a half months - you've already got the cry bully award all locked up but go ahead and WAH all you want.
