The league doesn't have to protect her from the dirty play. The league needs to protect ALL players from dirty play. This is suppose to be the WNBA and not the WMMA! Even the WMMA doesn't allow long fingernails and eye gouging. The no call on fouls on CC was blatant. Not only did CC get a black eye, the WNBA got a black eye. We, the CC fans aren't gonna forget the bull crap they did to CC. And we aren't gonna watch the WNBA playoff games. The WNBA really F up.

[@schafn]

Right-o. The Women's NCAA final outdrew the Men's. I wonder why? Was it the sudden popularity of women's basketball across the board? Why was women's basketball suddenly so popular? Will the 2025 Women's final draw more viewers than the men's? We'll see. I'm betting on no because Clark won't be in that game. Clark is the x-factor 100%. Which is why it is so dumbfounding that the WNBA has largely turned a blind eye to her. There seems to be little acknowledgement from WNBA headquarters that Caitlyn Clark alone has returned their product to relevancy. Add in the fact that many other players seem to have a heavy resentment that their job is still there because this phenom has brought eyeballs to screens and butts into seats. I find the style of play in the WNBA generally not the style of basketball I want to watch. The leaders of the league should consider why Caitlyn Clark is so popular and try to cultivate that image rather than just offering more of what they already had (which wasn't all the profitable, was it?). If they did this then they might build something sustainable. If not then people are going to continue to focus on games with Clark in them and to ignore the rest of the league.

[@francesw.6774]

@@MDGmonroe I haven't seen much worse and well understand that physical contact is a natural outcome of the sport, but the contact should be incidental and not intentional. In my opinion some of the hits on Clark have been incidental, some are debatable, and some are very clearly excessive and intentional. I played organized basketball for a long time and have followed it on many levels for much longer, and I know the difference. Some fans of Clark may be new to the sport, but many of us are long-time basketball fans who have only recently paid attention to the WNBA. I believe that the "the WNBA is a physical league" trope is used as an excuse for some over-the-line aggression that does not belong in the game of basketball. It's clear to me that Clark is not like or wanted by many and that she is getting targeted by some as a result.

[@MDGmonroe]

@@francesw.6774 If you’ve played sports then you know there are times when some will intentionally foul you or target you. Doesn’t necessarily means they dislike you. I’ve played basketball, football, and soccer. I love the physicality and contact. Like she said in the interview some of those interactions are memorable, I have scars I look at sometimes and reflect on a moment when things got spicy and it only made me want to go harder. I’m sure CC feels the same way, she didn’t ask anybody to defend her and she’s not helpless. Let them play, enjoy the game and stop complaining so much.

[@francesw.6774]

@@MDGmonroe I get all this, but I think in the WNBA it crosses a line at times. There is a big difference between an intentional foul for strategic purposes, and targeting a player with hits that could have serious injury and even career consequences. Personally, I don't think that level of aggression is good for basketball. There are enough injuries that just come with the sport. Anyway, it's ok to disagree about this. We just see it differently.

No mention of 17% of the leagues flagrant fouls were committed against CC. They are quick to jump at a narrative of racism among new fans, but completely disregard the motivations of the players to cheap shot any chance they get the player who could actually make them rich. The WNBA despite this years massive success is still a business that lost 200 Million dollars this season. The Players currently have Profit sharing in their collective Bargaining Agreement just like the men, but there isn't anything to split at the end of the year. Imagine working any job for a company that loses that amount of money each year, and truly believing that you are grossly underpaid for your services. The WNBA is a picture perfect example of cultural disconnection with reality.

[@darchon5]

Here's more specifics on the flagrants: 17.6% (6 out of 34; was 35 but they later rescinded one of Taurasi's) were committed against Clark, and the next highest were 1 player who got flagrantly fouled 3 times and 2 players twice each. That's a big gap and pretty outrageous especially when Clark is not a dirty player and never says a bad thing about any player in the media (yes she talks some trash on court as do quite a few others, but usually Clark's is in response to someone else coming at her first).

It's solely to do with Caitlin's rip-roaring style of play, which makes people jump out of their seat when she executes a logo 3 with no time at all and defenders only 2 feet away, it's her 80 foot passes dropping exactly in a team-mates hands and the bounce passes that are so swiftly executed and unexpected that the defenders are all 'WTF?', it's her drives to the rim where it looks impossible for her to score but then she manages to wriggle into a position where it ends up being a simple layup, it's her commanding presence as she comes down the court after an inbound, like a blitz chess player, looking for the strengths and weaknesses in front of her and sizing up the best opportunities to score. That's why millions of people are watching the W on TV and tens of thousands are buying tickets to games.

Granted, in the past, the league wasn't making as much, so they weren't enjoying the same perks as the men.

The reporter asked a good question to the Commissioner which is why whenever he brings up Clark the Commissioner says “the rookie class.” ESPN pushes the rookie class narrative as well and they’re wrong. If it’s to build rivalries, well the competition for Clark are the other 4 players who were top MVP voting/ 1st team All WNBA, specifically A’ja Wilson, Collier, Stewart. It’s not rookies. And you can’t overstate enough how Clark creates this. Her two NCAA tourney runs received record viewership - almost 19 mil the final in 2024 and about 14 mil the Iowa game against UConn. Those are NFL numbers- MLB, mens hoops no one else gets those. She got big numbers the year before too. And some of that did rub off on the WNBA. Clark’s getting good numbers in the WNBA too; her last playoff game got 2.5 million. But I’m not sure if the WNBA ever breaks a million viewers without her. If the league wants to set up rivalries, it should get off trying to compare her to other rookies and compare her with the other 1st team ALL WNBA players. The Fever are set up with a couple other all stars (Boston and Mitchell) to compete while the other rookies really don’t. Finally, If 60 minutes really wants to report on the sour grapes from other players/ former WNBA players about the attention Clark gets, it should also report that I’ve seen no reports that actual fans at games make inappropriate comments, hold up signs, whatever. It’s online trolls most of whom I bet don’t even watch the games. Alyssa Thomas said it’s the Fever fan base (on the night the sun ended the fever’s season) and she should apologize for painting way too broad a brush on the night their season ended. At the least, she should say thank you that Clark and her fans have generated the revenue where they don’t need to fly economy and stay at economy hotels anymore.

@@VinhNguyen-fx8rn I'm not trolling anyone. I agree with your assessment on marketability. I also buy tickets to the games, league pass, and merch.

Come on CBS! Just say it! This all happened because of Caitlin Clark!!!!

[@gitoffmahlawn]

If she was black, they'd have no problem saying it. But the same people who insist they are mistreated based on race, will never give Clark her due because of the immutable characteristics she was born with. There's no white privilege in the W, it actually works against you.

If there were no Caitlin Clark, this video would not exist.

Nicely done. Thank you!

The WNBA players still don't understand that their league does not make any money.

[@daviddwyer3229]

she isn't a power player, I really thought she would be destroyed physically,! Kudos, for just surviving, more kudos for having that much heart!

[@marceybull]

Four starting rookie players who came from college this year who were injured this season: Cordova, Brink, Aliyah Edwards, Reese. … The three remaining starting rooks who were not - Rickea, Jayce Sheldon, and CC zz

I live outside Albany NY. I first heard of CC at a restaurant after the Iowa- LSU game in Albany. A young gal came in with her Dad and was excited about the game she attended, esp. CC. Checked it out and started following her at Indiana. What a basketball IQ and what a business phenomenon!

They owe it all to Caitlin Effect. Period.

This is the first time I have seen Napheesa Collier interviewed. She is intelligent and articulate. A delight. I love Caitlin too

60 Minutes interviews the 2 most professional, media savvy personalities. I love these two young ladies and would encourage my daughter to look up these two. Most of the rest are toxic. To toxic to watch. It's been toxic for near three decades and short of a super fund it is not changing.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Pretty much all of the Fever players are professional and media savvy. Aliyah Boston is fantastic. The toxic ones are some of the stars on other teams but there are other very professional media savvy players on other teams as well.

[@marisoltammero3331]

@@benjaminsmith2287 Aliyah Boston is right up there with CC. But then again Aliyah is a scholar athlete. That one is a smartie!

[@simbalk2463]

I think the three ladies chosen for the piece each had something important to contribute. Nepheesa Collier is an outstanding player who also does not get enough credit for her contributions to the game. They always minimize her accomplishments so they can divert the shine to A. Wilson. I don't understand why the Commissioner insists on denigrating one player to prop up another. So Sad.

i'd rather watch this than the wnba playoff w/o cc. this tells you where the w is at
