Talk about Steph Curry playing for Davidson in the NCAA's and how he captivated audiences. He didn't win shit in college,.

[@ad7711x]

So people were captivated by losing.

[@verbalkint4052]

@@ad7711x Surely not people like you that can’t think beyond one-dimension. But those that understand “team” sports and what they are looking at surely were captivated by it. Because they realize that the number of players that could make a small, no-name program like Davidson not only relevent, but competitive against stacked blue-blood programs is miniscule. Same reason intelligent basketball fans were awed by Larry Bird at Indiana State, and most recently Caitlin Clark at Iowa. Unfortunately the know-nothing dolts don’t understand the game or what they’re watching. It’s completely evident when they keep citing the lack of team accomplishments to undermine an individual’s greatness. Guess what? Take any other WNBA or women’s collegiate player and put them on Iowa’s team the past 2 seasons in place of Clark and they’d title-less too. Same goes for Steph Curry’s Davidson team. No one player was doing more to carry that team than Steph did. But clearly you lack the ability to recognize that.

They're not talking about the other players because the other players do not have the relevancy as Caitlin. There's a reason why her games average 17k in attendance and the other games that don't have her, average 7k. She's the tide that's lifting all boats.

[@harjotchumber6626]

[@denk664]

Exactly. No one cares about the others. It's sad but true

[@TheRational1inTheRoom]

If it's more about Caitlin than the basketball, then none of it really matters, because It's not a competition at that point, it's a culture war. Once that blows over, it's all right back to square one.

[@SynthMan65]

Professional basketball is entertainment first and foremost. The reason why if someone"drops 30 points on her head" and doesn't get talked about as much is because the way they did it was not exciting. Plain and simple. Pro ball is about making money, making money is about an entertaining product, exciting basketball makes an entertaining product. I don't make the rules, that's just how it is. Look at the diff between how the NBA talks up a hot shot player about to come to the league... they embrace him. Then, look at how the WNBA treated Clark, stating with Diana Dinosaurasi. In short, women are just jealous when another woman has the potential to become better than them or in Clark's case, change the league. Women can't handle it, and it's why this league will eventually revert back to pre-clark levels once her game has been ruined by the Indiana fever because the coach doesn't know how to use her and the Fever organization is too incompetent to hire a coach who can.

[@vict1435]

I was initially upset she wasn’t part of the Olympic team. Now I see it as blessing in disguise, it’s toxic to be around people who have resentment and are in their feelings. CC is the reason us casuals watch, we can see the hate she gets for being a straight white woman. She doesn’t fit the demographic and the wnba is fumbling the bag. This lady talked about elevating the game of basketball and the irony is CC does that, embrace that! Ride the wave, she’s the golden goose.

[@richardyocum-qi7db]

The problem is you can't ride a wave of ONE golden goose. That golden goose could tear an achiles, decide she or he doesn't want to play anymore (it's happened before in wnba), get in trouble (especially with this obsession with gambling now) shred their knee, and then where does that leave the entire league?

Attendance was abysmal, playing wasn’t great and I never watched since. I have been since CC and have seen other talented players. But I also see the inconsistent calls, the foul carter had that the refs didn’t even take a second look at. As I’m watching I’m now getting annoyed because it’s inconsistent.

[@TrevyTrevDen2Pit2Atl]

"She is her own economy"...that is the answer to her ow question of why is she the only one being spoken about. NBA went through it with LeBron when he entered the league. While difficult, the players must put aside their pride/ego and realize something else Satou said. They are all benefiting from the Caitlyn experience, financially. Sold out arena means revenue growth for the league and teams, which leads to better amenities and salaries. Yes, that means collateral damage in terms of other worthy narratives being pushed. To grow the league some things must be sacrificed.

It’s funny that barely any of the interviewers are pushing back on the WNBA players with the fact that people don’t find most of the WNBA product interesting which is why the media did not cover it more. There is no push to cover cricket or soccer more. The reason it wasn’t or those players weren’t is because there wasn’t an appetite in fandom. I actually saw a few WNBA games over the years but there was nothing that grabbed my interest. This “what about us” narrative is getting old to me. Ride the wave!!! What I do like about this interview is that this player seems to understand that you don’t have to tear down one player to pull yourself up. No one has to fangirl about these rookies but there are unnecessary comments from some players that add fuel to the fire.

How you want al that money but doing things that is so easy making layups😭😭😂😂. Caitlin Clark shooting 3’s step backs from the parking lot not even Grown Man doing it. They want attention for doing basic stuff like ey listen Basic nba players don’t get that money that Caitlin getting.

[@darrellzukemura4062]

Most or all WNBA player would not make a high school boys basketball team. Clark is maybe the only one close because of her court vision and IQ of the game and because her quick release on her shooting

[@ChooseJoy7]

Exactly what she said. Caitlyn is the reflection of what SHOULD'VE been happening in women's sports. It's a disgrace that is now just getting the attention it deserved to have many years ago. Because many who are fans now simply did not see the value in the women who represented the league. That's the conversation nobody wants to have. I know the men in the NBA would be singing a whole different tune if they had been treated the same.

[@RiofromtheBull]

Ngl I’m so sick of the race narrative. Do people realize the reason we started watching CC? She out there running around shooting contested and logo 3s like CURRY if she was black white or purple we were gonna gravitate to her

[@henry7486]

yeah, also she was talking about how people weren’t paying attention to Breanna Stewart… she is white, just like Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese got a ton of attention, near the level of Caitlin and she is black. It has nothing to do with race, it’s just about entertainment. Clark and Reese are just 10x more entertaining than somebody like Breanna Stewart

[@ginuwinereynolds7291]

It is cause of her skin color.

[@gspaulsson]

As a historian, I like to fact-check. Change in average attendance, 2023 vs 2024: Teams that have not played Fever yet: Mercury -133, Lynx -643. Teams that have played Fever: Aces +818, Storm +1477, Liberty +4809, Sky +1031, Sparks +3309, Sun, +1179, Wings +1493, Mystics +4195, Dream +381. Maximum attendance: Not played Fever: Mecury +1054, Lynx +368. Played Fever: Aces +866.Storm, +9414,, Liberty +9985, Sky +1783, Sparks +12549, Sun +2686, Wings +1439, Dream +381. Attendace at Fever Games: 2023 Average 4067, 2024: Average 16571 Max 17,274 Everyone likes to say "Yes, but" then stick in their favourite theory. 2023 attendance (which was record-breaking) is like for a minor league baseball team CC, independent of all other factors, raised the WNBA from bush league to big league, embarrassing the hell out of the WNBA establishment. CC is already setting records for points & assists by a rookie. SHe would be doing much better if she had a major-league coach and if she weren't playing for a last-place team.

[@leeroberts1412]

Teams are changing to larger venues when they play Fever and having record ticket sales when Fever in town. Has nothing to do with foundation.

[@tinoo8]

“MHM” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@strawhatsanji4985]

Y'all hating don't try sugar coating it. But at the sametime the media should try to also insert other clips of players right after they talk about Caitlyn Clark, thats the only way to make other players get known. As it is right now they talk about Caitlyn Clark then change the topic to Lakers. Use the views she's getting to plug other players, because her buzz won't last for much longer. But these WNBA players are not making it easy because everything out of their mouths is hating. Which then makes everyone dislike you all and not watch your games.

[@SynthMan65]

"She's selling out gyms" ummh, how about NBA arenas

[@DB-ie8rk]

if there were other highlights of the game to actually show they probably wouldn't Only show a hard screen... but all the highlights are Clark anyway

[@lavechia]

😂😂take Clark out of the WNBA and still nobody will watch. About race?? That’s pathetic to say. CC comes to town 18k to 20k attend. No CC 7k. Yes it’s about CC. Facts.

[@rahulminhas7882]

Candace Parker and other wnba players did not pave the way. Nobody watched them. In fact, it was more entertaining to watch grass grow. Stop bullying CC and creating a hateful environment

[@fingerpickingood1900]

Stewie didn't win 4 championships. She and her other 5☆ players did. Put Stewie on that Iowa team she's lucky to make it to sweet 16.

[@scotteduzntno8671]

Let's get this clear. They aren't going after clark cause she's a rookie. They are going after her cause she's Caitlin Freakin Clark. The GOAT!

[@Painisme9]

Looks at the college teams they where on Stewies teams where stacked 😂cc took a team that never even been to one. And I’ll just tell you the reason we don’t talk about other wnba players is because they’re boring doing shit you can see in high school cc doing Steph curry shooting and magic Johnson type passing

[@hunter702lv]

She’s already a top 15-20 player after 13 games.

[@boblawrence3861]

How many All-Americans did Stewy play with? Hell, the whole UConn team were All-Americans. Now, how many All-Americans did Caitlin Clark play with? Her teams looked like Davidson when Stephen Curry was there. Pete Maravich never won a Chip and yet there never would've been a Magic Johnson without him. Anyone could've practiced the logo-3 growing up, but they didn't. Only a skinny girl from Iowa and the world loves her for it. She's earned the right to sit on the US Women's Olympic team bench as much as Diana Taurasi, who is on the downward trajectory at 42 years old. Her scoring average isn't much different than Caitlin's, but she's not a rookie. We (and by we, I mean the whole world) just want to see Caitlin on the end of the bench, even if all she does is play garbage time. Maybe she sinks a shot or two, as an eye and a promise to the future.

[@bojelotiroyakgosi]

Respectfully, she was yapping in that first monologue.

[@ar3t33]

Did she bring race into it? Smh 🤦‍♂️

[@harjotchumber6626]

But it does make a difference, and everyone just wants to throw other player that are better than her under the table

[@ginuwinereynolds7291]

It does make it a difference. People are only watching cause she is YT

[@OWM67]

they are not new wnba fans...they are caitlin's fans she brought with her from college....don't get it twisted!!!

[@ifareaged]

Most of yall commenting still don't care about the wnba, because if you did you'll be paying attention to all the storylinea going on this season but you're only preoccupied by Clark. Caring about a singular player doesn't grow the game. The people who started watching thanks to Clark & are paying attention to the rest of the league are growing the game, your winning ass isn't.

[@stevegodfrey2074]

All I hear is jealousy - "What about us"

[@nakho3550]

Caitlin was hit from the back? When? "Multiple times she was on the bad side of physicality"? Compare the physicality of all guards in the league and show me how Caitlin is getting it the worst. It is so tiring to see these grown rich Black men cuddle Caitlin Clark. It's embarrassing as a Black person.

[@amythompson6431]

Caitlin is also respectful and has not said one mean, nasty thing to and about anyone. But, Reece and Carter? They're both thugs, jealous , resentful thugs. They should be grateful for Caitlin.

[@Gtfoh37]

I like CC but her fans are the problem even she understood why she didn’t make the team it is what it is the fans are putting too much pressure on her thinking that they’re standing up for her & making it as if they care about ELEVATING THE WOMENS SPORT 😂it’s good too support but if CC dosent start to play better the fake fans will disappear anyway give her time to grow she’s a good player with potential to be great she’s young she has plenty of time

[@BigJasonHenderson]

Stewart had a grip of fellow hs all Americans. CC had zero. Big difference

[@Baltimoretay21207]

Cc got everyone watching it’s on the rest of you to go crazy .. like my son found out about kyrie because i was a lebron fan when he went back to Cleveland if you like that we will see 💯✨

[@tcos918]

WNBA was trash before CC got there and it's still trash except for the highlights she puts out. She doesn't owe the "past generations" of terrible players anything lol. Yall should just be thankful.

[@getmoney3806]

Nah it's trash even with her highlights. All games are boring

[@hopebobhartley3812]

She doesn’t get it..

[@340ironman]

Get the GM on your show

[@marklivingston9313]

She brings 10 million of her own fans WNBA has half that.

[@Han78711]

I find it incredibly amusing that Caitlin Clark TODAY has been officially named THE FACE OF THE ENTIRE WNBA.

[@AztecRay]

Juju and Paige can't live up to CC. You'll see with the numbers when they start playing

[@deucex2tatum667]

Nope they will both will u will see they be new faces of nba

[@tedted5904]

Jordan made the league respect his game. The league does not respect her game yet.

[@ReDav1s87]

It wasn't a screen, though. The ball was out of play, and CC back was turned. I get it, though. Number 1 pick will be targeted, but don't act like it was a basketball play. That was pure jealousy. Let's be clear. There isn't any comparison to CC. I hate how they try and add other players. We've seen the numbers, lady. CC leaves. No one cares again.

[@kylewarren8065]

WRONG! UConn won 4x in a row and Stewie who I love btw, was 4x mvp. That’s different than all time leading scorer in D1 both men’s and women’s and also the last two years also assist leader…. Stewie does not have those individual accolades. Put CC on the that UConn team and she’d probably be mvp 4x like Stewie. All the women in wnba need to support CC. CC’s shine will help you as you stand. Next to her and just play your game rather than stand against her.

[@PTO_Finesse]

She spoke the realest of all takes

[@ThePrezExTV]

For the eye to be on other women players is going to take time yall! Yall want to expedite people's appetite for the sport but leave the main person that's expediting it on the sidelines. Makes so sense or CENTS!

[@kostasvasilopoulos4468]

Satou ....Clark-Brink - Reese and all the rookies play a major part in the WNBA.....they focus on Clark and that's natural ....Stewie,Wilson are known players and every one respects them but always people want to see the new faces the new blood.....and don't forget that these faces are forcing the media to pay more and the fans to fill the stadiums..

[@mario6150]

Half of these people in these comments have no clue what they talking about
