Imagine the WNBA Giving Caitlin Clark This Wemby Rookie of the Year Treatment

Men aren’t green with envy or jealous over over someone they view as a really good player. Men are wired differently than women. It shows up in how they view other women. Women view other women as a threat to themselves and it was put on full display this season when it came to Caitlin Clark. But she played through it and kept on pushing herself to be better.

Charles Barkley said it best. Women are petty. They will never, NEVER, welcome her to the league like that. Even an part owner said "it's our league" then they turn around and blame her for trolls on the internet. They put it out there, but they blame her. SMH!!!!

This makes me like the NBA more. See they understand business and how it really works. But they're also lovers of the game of basketball. Giving a rookie his flowers for being a great basketball player because game recognize game. Doesn't mean that they aren't going to compete against them on the floor. But they recognize that this kid has a great future and the greater future he has the greater for the league.

[@JosephSorrow]

See i blame the NBA. The NBA has been keeping the WNBA afloat. Without the NBA the WNBA does not exist. So IMO the NBA sees what is going on. Sees the issues. So as the financial backer, THEY should have already stepped in and put their foot down and said " fix the issues or else".

[@MidAtlanticTV]

There’s a big difference with CC. CC is a much better player than all the other players in the WNBA. In the NBA all those players that were in that video are great basketball players. The WNBA doesn’t have that. The other players are just so so. That’s why they would never do a video like that. They are not even close to the same level as CC.

[@jeffreypierce1440]

Also they are resistant to criticism and improvement. That's in large part a piece of general 'woke' culture. Women are especially susceptible to the ideology.

[@mattgoldberg4335]

I wouldn't go quite that far. Among guards, Ionescu is close, and Arike and some others (Loyd, Copper, Young) have some game...although I think CC is already the best guard in the league. In the frontcourt, Wilson, Collier and Stewie are all very good -- and polished. But sure, I would much rather watch CC. She's both stunningly talented and relatable, and the more you see her off the court, the more you like her.

[@Struwwel2]

After 30 years or so the WNBA finally has a superstar, a unique talent that draws an international fan base, and they don't have the faintest idea what to do with it. They've dropped the ball.

Because the WNBA is filled with lesbian activists who never got the spotlight. As soon as Caitlin comes who is white and straight they already got problems. From the top down and even Diana put the whistle out on her before she got drafted

[@PandaPanda-cn7yn]

You have to bow down to certain players and acknowledge your "white privilege" constantly to be embraced. A video is now circulating where A'ja talks about Paige to Kelsey Plum, saying, 'She knows her privilege got her there. And she's good at basketball, obviously. She reminds me of you, that's a compliment.' Kelsey's response: 'Thank you.' Basically, Aja saying that yeah she can play, but all this attention Paige gets bc she's a white girl. People want you to do good, but not better them. These older player are definitely envious about attention the new generation is getting. Most of these older players stuck in a "victim" mindset, thinking their lack of attention or money is due to their race, while others succeed purely because of "white privilege".

[@PandaPanda-cn7yn]

@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00 Race is definitely a major factor in these conversations around the WNBA today. A'ja sees the attention and endorsements that players like Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark are getting, and wonders why she isn’t reaching that same level of success. From her perspective, it’s because she’s not white like them. This sentiment is clear in the video circulating now. In other instance, before Caitlin Clark even stepped foot on a WNBA court, A'ja was already making comments, telling the Associated Press that Caitlin's popularity is tied to her being white. A'ja even said it "boils her blood" when people deny the racial component to Caitlin’s rise. But let’s not overlook how playing this "white privilege" card has also worked for A'ja and got her a shoe deal. Nike even pushed back on CC's shoe release bc they scared of the uproar.

It would explain why A’ja has been given her MVP, Coach Reeve has been presented her award, Napheesa has been presented her Defensive Player Award. Caitlin’s award is due to be announced.

Thank you Adrienne, For bringing this to our attention. I thought the video honoring that young rookie in the NBA was a Very Good thing. Having Strong leadership and Support and Showing Love and Appreciation in Surrounding a young person or Athlete is important , especially in Sports, where so much is On those young Rookies’ Shoulders, and they are thrust into The Spotlights, with all of The Pressures and expectations thrown at them right away, which can sometimes overwhelm them. I’m sure, it was Humbling and Warming for That NBA Rookie to Feel that Respect , Love and Support, as You could clearly see that upon His Face. And yeah Adrienne, wouldn’t that be something if only Caitlin Was warmly Welcomed and Shown Care, Appreciation, Respect and Support that way. I know this much, and I’ve said it before, Until The Failed WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, and WNBA Director Terri Jackson are Removed or Forced to Resign, The WNBA is going to Operate Under Dark and Dirty Politics. And I honestly dont Know Who Holds The Power and Authority to Remove The WNBA Commissioner, I mean, is it Owners? Some kind of Player Rep. Panels? The NBA Execs??? Does anyone know or have checked into that? The WNBA Commissioner and Director have Failed Neglently in their Oaths of their Duties, Obligations and Responsibilities. How are they able to Still Remain in Power? This reminds me alot like Star Wars, with the Evil Emperor - Played by’Cathy Engelbert’ of The Empire - ‘The WNBA’ and The Jedi’s, Jedi Council and People- Caitlin and Other Good Clean Players and The Fans’. With The Emperor Ignoring the Injustices, and Creating Laws to make Illegal things- legal and Whom Remains in Power Despite Calls of Injustice and Corruption. Well, being a huge Star Wars Fan since I was Young, I know how that all ends in Star Wars, So I guess I can hope that Jedi’s Like Caitlin Clark, and The many other good wholesome Players, Along with The Freedom Fighters Out here- Us Supporting Fans, can Somehow Some Way Use The Force To Bring Balance and Peace Back into The WNBA Universe in WNBA Galaxy Far…Far Away.
