Dan Patrick’s EPIC TAKEDOWN Of WNBA & Caitlin Clark Haters! THIS IS HUGE!

[@BasketballTopStories]

Do you agree with Dan Patrick?

[@rickschroth9869]

100% … and the cover photo.. was perfect. Not overtly sexual and still made her look “hot”!

[@98167]

i do 🖐️, do you?

[@dixieforbes-gorby896]

Yes

[@BasketballTopStories]

Absolutely! He's the voice of reason in sports

[@kimkelly1889]

Absolutely

[@donnajaemoon]

Anybody else mute their device when Angel Reese is in front of a mic? 😂

[@marobson1]

Totally agree with Dan!

[@The.Good.News.]

Why is there such a backlash nowadays in sports that is wrapped around equality? When the William Sisters entered tennis it was all about the game, when Tiger Woods entered golf every narrative was about the game then why is all the talk with Caitlin Clark in the WNBA Not just about the game, 62 broken records, no one else like her, she is the GOAT!

[@nancy9891]

Race was talked about when the Williams sisters and Woods came along. The timing was right and there was not a lot of toxic media. No You Tube or Fox News was not as popular and separatist. Rush Limbaugh was the white victimhood leader and more came along. The hatred of Caitlin is such a foolish concept. The commissioner on down from the owners to the players. Sickening

[@dixieforbes-gorby896]

I'm not a basketball player, but after watching my first ever year of the WNBA, there are some really great players on the other teams, yet she's so different to watch.

[@BasketballTopStories]

Yes - exactly this. There are good and great players to the standards of good / great basketball. But the reason CC is bringing so many to the sport is because she does out of this world things that you have to see to believe

[@Rondigity92]

The fragile black ego...

[@dannycarlow8204]

I think you're forgetting a lot about when the Williams sisters came on to the scene.

[@jefffrazier4627]

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE WNBA IS SPINELESS!!! TAKE CONTROL OF THE LEAGUE, JUST DO YOUR JOBS!!! PLEASE!!! BASKETBALL IS LIVING THING , CONSTANTLY CHANGING & EVOLVING, DEAL WITH IT!!!! BUT CC IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME PLAYER!!! GET OVER YOURSELVES, HATERS!!!

[@gladyswilliams1148]

Dan is right.

[@bkrybabe]

What would happen if CC got enough of all this crap and walked away? The WMBA would be toast!

[@joeyirc]

LOL it's amazing how some people can't accept a win. This owner needs to go look at her bank account and see how Caitlin has made it grow.

[@drewferd2720]

Her bank account makes me feel bad so she should share it with everyone

[@paulchen8914]

You are right , thumbs up for your good points.

[@davidspinazzola4716]

Hey Dan, ask the owner of the Mystics if the reason she moved the team to a bigger arena was because the Las Vegas team was playing. Did she share the extra revenue with her players since she is so concerned

[@oldmanballer5088]

Yes I agree with Dan.

[@reneedemeyer3854]

Sheila, Sheila, Sheila Im sure Time Magazine could give PARTICIPATION ribbons for the rest of the WMBA.

[@EthanGuntherCallanduxe-oy3kh]

ABSOLUTELY❤

[@hedge6364]

Then get rid of the MVP award and all the other individual awards for her team. I bet if they excluded her team for any individual awards she would not like that.

[@jefffrazier4627]

hE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!! GO CAITLIN!!!!

[@georgeroskilly7524]

As a eighty year old Englishman l got interested in Clark with a KZbin feed never seen male or female basketball games but l was transfixed when l watched her play her moves and charisma was incredible she is a force to be reckoned with!

[@rickschroth9869]

Shiela Johnson, Swoopes, Reese, A’ja .. who cares what these whiners have to say? Enough already. Right now, right now CC is the Tiger Woods of the WNBA. Period. Drop the Mike!

[@heinleinreader]

I would call her the, Michael Jordan, the Jackie Robinson, the Ichiro Suzuki, and the Venus Williams of the WNBA. Without Ichiro, Shohei Ohtani doesn't happen. Without Venus, her sister Serena doesn't become the greatest women's tennis player of all time. Without Michael, the NBA might be in the same boat that the WNBA currently is. Without Jackie, there would be no Hank Aaron, Ken Griffey Junior, or probably even Julio Rodriguez in MLB.

[@Lstanfield]

If Aja Wilson had been named athlete of the year that mystics owner would have loved it.

[@sharronjones1017]

That’s never going to happen, her arrogance is repellent!

[@johnstraub7494]

Look at the after-game interviews with Clark. She talks about her faults and how she needs to get better. She praises her teammates and loves the support she gets from all of them. Her mind is entirely on basketball. In after-game interviews from other teams, especially with the likes or Reece and Wilson, the race card immediately comes out, especially if a question is asked about defending against Clark. No mention of how they might try to improve, no thanking their teammates for their play and support. It's all about them, and their social agenda. These women need to get a clue. You have to be blind not to have noticed that people are tired of the woke attitude and the race card being brought up. Fans go to these games to see women playing basketball. It's that SJW agenda that has kept people away from the WNBA for since its inception. Grow up ladies. It is Clark and the rest of the Fever, who have gained the attention of fans across the country and the world. This 22, now 23-year-old has shown more maturity than all of you. Listen to what her teammates think of Caitlyn. I bet they are damn glad that Clark got selected to play on the Fever and not some other team.

[@fatimafernandez2251]

JEALOUSY WERE KILLING & DROWNING THEM YEAH 😮😮 THAT'S WHY NO RECOGNITION & RESPECT AT ALL TO CAITLIN 🎉🎉🎉🎉THANKS DAN ❤❤❤❤ WE SAW & HEARD YOU LOUD & CLEAR❤❤❤❤

[@terence9759]

Yes i agree 👍 💯

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

The debate is feelings vs reality.

[@rstolarz8051]

THE ONLY REASON I WATCHED ANY OF THESE TALENTLESS HACKS WAS BECAUSE OF CC

[@debrawanous762]

I agree. 100%

[@jeanmeath2900]

Well said Dan!

[@DMPeppy]

Yes. By the way , how is the 3vs3 going w/o CC?

[@BasketballTopStories]

We'll see come mid Jan. It'll start in a month and they STILL do not have all 36 players recruited.

[@Didymus6]

They need to call Dax, the singer, songwriter and a great basketball player. Did I mention that he has a big following?

[@stevenhansen8047]

Angel will be embarrassed in the unrivaled league, going to be fun watching her crash. CC will do what she does next year even better.

[@soupguru1]

@@heinleinreaderallegedly that all was clickbait.

[@BasketballTopStories]

Great question! While we do not encourage Reese's antics, we can categorically say all those allegations of Reese doing performance enhancers are NOT true. These were perpetuated by unscrupulous channels - the same ones that were claiming CC went to Europe

[@BasketballTopStories]

3 on 3 is a running and layup game especially since Unrivaled will play full court. And we know how Reese runs and bricks layups

[@heinleinreader]

@soupguru1 So were the accusations against Bonds until behind the scenes conversations that he was trying to cover up became public. Then suddenly, we had clear evidence that he was involved to a degree deeper than we had previously known. Try that again, please.

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

I don't get it. Caitlin Clark is a generational talent. She is pure fun to watch play the game of basketball. She's in constant motion - there's always something to watch: will she get open when she cleans who's guarding her off on the pick, will she shoot then or pass, will she get the ball and hit somebody under the basket for a bunny, etc.? She is a License to Print Money for all other elements connected to the WNBA: TV networks, equipment manufacturers, teams, arenas, other players - all stand to make scads of dough just by basking in her light. What do they do instead? They whine that no one should make it about 1 player, they allow hard fouls on Clark that aren't called, and they make sure their whining is caught on camera.They are chopping off the head of the Golden Goose as she's laying her next golden egg. Dan Patrick is right on point. He's been around awhile. He's seen Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle, Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax, Joe Namath, John Unitas, Michael Vick, and Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James and Michael Jordan, Bill Russell and John Havlicek, Muhammed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, and finally Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods. For cripes' sake, people! Just hitch on the back of Caitlin's wagon and see how far she can take you.

[@brucesannino6181]

Reminds me of my second ex-wife. On many occasions i actually raised my voice. TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER!

[@mgt2010fla]

The WNBA wanted to do to CC-22's Time cover as Player of the Year like the WNBA did to her Rookie of the Year award...bury it with a phone call to the Fever team during a practice! Someone find a previous WNBA ROTY announcement. No matter what, no one had a rookie year like CC-22!

[@ernestamboe6381]

A new commissioner, new business plan, and a new advertising plan for a newly reinvented league would go a long way down the road to success. Time to look and plan for the future. More young players will be coming to this league, so change will be inevitable.

[@sharronjones1017]

Has to start with a real committed commissioner that wants to do the job right!🎯🎯🎯👏🏽💯💯💯💯💯

[@rayridge9866]

Caitlin has the it factor -must watch -she is the one-

[@drewferd2720]

That owner’s salary makes me feel bad so she needs to share it with everyone

[@jpdujeaux3803]

If Caitlin would have gone to Europe, the tv rating in the WNBA would have plummeted!

[@mateuszzimon8216]

Look what happen when Fever get outed from playoffs, if CC got injured or move to Europe WNBA gonna be squeeling

[@vanman6534]

The problem, as I see it. Is that CC plays BASKETBALL, not WOMEN'S basketball.

[@TimRatliff-p5w]

Because they are not the league of the year. The League Sucks. Clark at least made her games watchable.

[@foobar5477]

Shelia J. Why can't Aja, Reese and others put in their work, blood sweat and tear into the game and stop trashing others on Tic toc to make themselves look good. I seen young kids sleep with the soccer ball, total dedication. And btw why does WNBA be recognized. how about v-ball, extreme sport (eileen Gu) all tennis players from the grass roots up to satelite points. There can only be one that is above the rest, exceptional. And Clarks is amoungst a small group of players all were men and most were footballers (soccer) and tennis players. So if clark doesn't get POTY then it would of been a man that gets the award. But look who sell the most world wide. WNBA is only popular (not really) in america. With clark then the league would be unknown

[@susansheldon2033]

The Times Athlete of the Year is a relatively recent acknowledgment. It's only been around since 2019. TIME Athlete of the Year past winners 2019 - United States Women's National Team (soccer) 2020 - LeBron James 2021 - Simone Biles 2022 - Aaron Judge 2023 - Lionel Messi 2024 Caitlin Clark

[@mikepage2709]

We all know that if cc did not play the wnba. No one will be looking at the wnba or going to the game

[@garymesser9065]

Petty pandering… let’s eliminate point scoring all together, because there aren’t supposed to be winners and losers in sports, isn’t that ridiculous, every athlete sets up their out contract, with their employer based on their specific skill set, so why would recognition be any different, look , in this dog eat dog world, you achieve by a merit system, on performance, if you can’t handle competition, you’re in the wrong industry! CC set a new standard, keep up if you can, trying to knock her down on or off the court should not be acceptable! She doesn’t hide behind her Race, it’s not about Race, it’s about performance, the stats don’t lie.!

[@boosuedon]

Ok, then why did you the WNBA single out A'Ja Wilson for MVP? Should it not have been ALL of the league as MVP? Just look at all of the players that had hurt feelings because A'Ja was singled out! See how ridiculous that is ? I wonder if she would be complaining had A'Ja Wilson, or ANY black player been selected as Athlete of the year? I think not!

[@laurelyost856]

A great point!

[@larryborsa4396]

It's a no brainer about Patrick's comments. The problem going forward IMO is that if Clark has a sophomore slump her detractors will use that against her. If she has another stellar start to the next season, someone, somewhere will do something that may injure her seriously. If that happens, the league will pay the price. She's already got plenty with her endorsements for life. I wouldn't blame her a bit if she went to Europe.

[@billsharich7466]

The whole WNBA. If that’s not a woke attitude, I don’t know what is. And she was Athlete of the year Dan. Trump is person of the year. Never make that mistake again! And earned over the years? She broke 62 records. What’s left to earn?

[@hazeltaylor9168]

Why not offer the hater players to choose to travel coach or charter?

[@BasketballTopStories]

They want the benefits CC brings but dont want CC. Make it make sense

[@n3enwolfe0080]

Even if it were league of the year like she thought or said wnba wouldn't be that league

[@Ariel-vw6po]

The truth of the matter is that CLARK EFFECT is real, they can deny, dismiss that all they want, but it's out there and reshaping women's sports as we speak. to embrace or go against it will definitely have its effect and aftermath. One thing is for sure 'HER GREATNESS" Caitlin Clark's legacy has begun.

[@tomhammer1784]

The WMBA tradition is losing money and boring basketball. Caitlin changed that in one year while the old pros had several years and never raised the bar as high . So they had to complain that they should get the credit….but Caitlin did give them the credit….they just do not want to give any back to her.

[@marksanchez8055]

Go CC

[@stellawynia9542]

Mention Iowa too.

[@neilthompson5575]

This is how women treat each other. You don’t see this in men’s sports. Yet, it goes beyond sports. Look at how men treat each other in school and how women treat each other. This type of behavior just one more example of the difference between the sexes. IMHO (and years of observation)

[@pocketnunu]

I agree 💯 and I'm a 76 yr old woman. You don't see the cattiness, the jealousy and resentfulness, in the men's games. Like CC, she didn't fight back with hard fouls or assault, she just played harder, faster, better.

[@CacD47]

How bout no evil Ms. Rodgers.

[@tommystrawnarm2810]

Who knew that this Sheila Johnson woman was co owner of BET? When i heard Johnson, i figured she was the lady once married to Bob Johnson, the former owner of BET when it was popular before they sold it. She has some nerves. She helped destroy BET to what it is now.

[@Luc2024-m9x]

Whoa whoa whoa , before C.C. I never watched any I mean any WNBA because it was so slow and boring . Now that C.C. is coming with all those tools that she comes out with each game. I want to see them happening. Just like any other sports, C.C is innovating and makes great play for the good of the team. FIND ME MORE OF THOSE BECAUSE I WANT MORE. Good luck finding another female like Jordan like Curry like the men style. I don't want average play , if I have to pay more for a ticket. Tell those women to bring the A game , not the B- game. Trucks and moves that bring fans to watched interesting stuff happening .

[@MarkLabadie-h5v]

I like and appreciate CC. However, because of the atmosphere and ambiance by people like the owner of the Washington team, I will continue to dismiss the league altogether.

[@petervananrooy4820]

He’s right still a lot of jealous people do not want to give her the credits she big time deserves and what entitles them to do so ?

[@paulhays5211]

Person of the year is not the same as sports of the year or team of the year, it's appreciating the milestone performance of a rookie player coming in and smashing records in spite of the jealous antics of thugball. Basketball is a team sport and she made her team exciting to watch and follow. These jealous players need to go out and break your own records and up your game, and you'll get the limelight.

Toda la WNBA no cabe en la portada, señora, que nadie la conoce. Estaba Messi y no pudo con la niña, y usted y el loco que no paran de verter veneno, hasta mienten. Pero toda su gran carrera de entrenador, llegó a su fin, por eso tiene el culo que no le cabe un alfiler. Yo estoy metido en esto desde los partidos de las finales de las universidades. En España seguía como películas de cine de estreno un partido randon todos los sábados. Aparte de las finales que las echaban en diferido. A mí me gusta el baloncesto, en hombres los Warrions y en mujeres Fever Indiana. Porque me ofrecen algo diferente

[@BasketballTopStories]

Exactly! The Warriors and the Fever play a type of game where if you blink, you might miss something special :)

[@jamesjordanNZ]

I wasn't watching the WNBA till C.C joined the league.. Wait till they make and Win the Finals then half of the haters will see and the rest will still be stubborn.. Doesn't the hate scare the next generation of girls that wanna play basketball. Com on yall

[@sambolini7160]

WNBA suck, CC is the real MVP she is the person of the year !! .. those stupid people

[@jeffreymartinez306]

Funny what if cc was a blonde blue eyes then she would’ve been a true white girl and had white privileges but she will never keep everybody happy no matter what she does so I say CC ego girl and do what you do the best and get all the contracts and all your awards and trophies and by the way, what did she get for MVP and never came up? What kind of trophy did she get or just a piece of paper with that dumb phone call she got cc is the best.

[@anoka114]

Johnson is a big time woke. Hard feelings hurt. It's time for Americans to grow up.

[@sawtooth4615]

Hmmm, seems like professional sports are "singling" out specific players all the time and other players are not crying in their beer about it. So this team owner sets the culture of her team in that the success of the team is due to the team. And when one or some her players who contribute to that success (by their statistics) want more money, she says, no, you're just as good as the rest of the "team"..........so go sit down. We have a socialistic team culture.......one for all, all for one and we give out participation trophies for each team member.

[@patrickgoss6949]

Washington mystics have only one titĺe. Atlanta dream 0. 3 teams have 4 titles. Not fair.

[@digitalsoldier-1742]

In this TIME... belongs to a player of the time. Don't turn it into participation trophy. Note he references Cheryl Miller, not Swoopes. As a coach Miller's all stars crushed team USA.

[@BasketballTopStories]

I love that Dan is purposely ignoring Swoopers - he does this in every single interview!

[@Phillip-d7b]

If funny how that talk about her college run when she lost in the Championship and if you talk about Clark You have to talk about Reese like when bird and magic came into the league out of college sounds reasonable to me . But Clark and Reese are just two players and neither won the wnba championship Let them both grow in the game.Yeah just doing to much..

[@VickiMorris-r5j]

TRUTH

[@mikehall4517]

Algorithm comment 😊

[@jeffransom4839]

If you people would just stop talking about how much people hate CC, this would just go away. Lets not ruin the upcoming WNBA season because some poeple refuse to move on. Clark has done so much for the WNBA anyone who would deny that she has is just weird. There was an amount of jealousy and that was real, but that was last season, we have whole new season coming up. Just move on. Talk more about the hiring of better coaches and holding the refs accountable for their awlfulness at their job.
