The problem though is, its not just her but the WNBA and entities like ESPN, Fox Sports want folks to think it is all her and her alone. The viewership has increased across the board for many teams and its not because they only care to see CC. They want to see the other new ladies like Reese, Cardoso, and Brink play. If you pay attention, you can see how they are spinning this narrative of it all being because of CC. She deserves many props for increasing a lot of interest in the game but its completely unfair for these people to sit up here and totally ignore the impact the other ladies are making on the league. And the sad part is its all on purpose.

It's controversy that drives the amount of time spent talking about CC. If the women in the WNBA treated CC with kids gloves, you would not hear any of these shows comment so much about her or the WNBA. Just like the media does with regular news. Good news doesn't sell. It's boring to our society. When they can push negative stories that get people more emotionally invested, their ratings go up. Look at our political landscape. The negative/controversial sells. They are going to keep stoking the controversies as much as they can to get as much as they can from the ratings. The WNBA is not the only entity that relies on viewership for their financial success.

This comment just show when you don't like Someone you will find anything to not like about what they said. She said nothing wrong and the WNBA is putting out a good product it's just not great so I don't see how she lost you with that

[@malikthompson9947]

Mannnn. I hear more people excited about Anger Reese than I do with Caitlin Clark. I feel like CC just happened to be drafted during a time when the world started appreciating women’s basketball. But CC isn’t the sole reason for the number.

[@malikthompson9947]

They gave white people CC and they gave American-African people Angel Reese. It was the best move to increase viewership.

[@amynanos7756]

The ONLY reason I began watching the WNBA is because of Caitlin Clark. Now, the WNBA can thank Reese and Carter for my decision to refrain from watching nothing but an immature display of jealousy and bullying. I am a former 4-sport athlete and am embarrassed for those women acting and talking like thugs. 🙄 grow up!

[@georgekelly5338]

My grandma always said- Women have friends until that girl goes to the restroom. Meaning they beat each other down and do nothing to prop others up. Boy was she right.

[@killz954]

Clark has brought so much attention to a sport that no one cared about. People will complain about and hate on anything. It’s disgusting.

I never heard of Caitlin Clark or give a "F" about women's basketball until the hate. Keep hating her, but you can never stop her shine. Watching from France.

[@timothymays1418]

Call it what it is!!! Jealousy!!!!! They need to appreciate and ride the wave 🌊!!! Use the opportunity to personally shine and not try to dim another’s light.

[@mattparks8434]

My biggest thing regarding W players that know they’re better and might resent CC’s attention…they gotta remember that Caitlin didn’t ask for any of this. All she did was play basketball and this all happened because of who she is and how she plays. She didn’t ask for any of this and she also only talks about giving grace, and lifting up women’s basketball, and being happy that little kids are inspired. Can’t be too mad at that

[@jamalmorgan682]

Exactly. She balled her way here, no scandals no nothing. One can say other players have done the same. They have, but we have not seen a Caitlin Clark until she showed up

[@mikeronald3812]

Some people just have the IT factor and she has it. It's that simple.

I walked into a Lexus dealership recently and the Indiana Fever were playing on the big screen TV in the showroom!!!! When have you ever seen that?

[@gabrielmartin6446]

Went to Sparks vs Fever last night at Crypto , the place was PACKED just to watch Caitlin pre game shoot around ! Sell out crowd and was louder then ANY of the 36 Laker games I have been to !! Every time Caitlin put up a 3 the crowd went insane !! Loved it ! Keep doing you #22 !!!!

[@biggblack5]

It was going so well until Shady decided to call her the GOAT... Smh 😂

They're giving her a title that has to be earned.

[@jenellreid9610]

@@itsruffoutchea6636that’s my think. I’m like The Goat? She hasn’t played in the W long enough to be a Goat!!

[@LBB-wb4ns]

Agree. The case for CC's college "it/star" factor and the Steph-like appeal that broke thru and ignited exponential change make sense, but calling her the GOAT? Not buyin' that (at least not yet) and my guess is that saying things like that based on college stats and star power, ruffles way more feathers than other claims/contexts.

[@itsruffoutchea6636]

@@jenellreid9610 As a man I love the WNBA. I've been watching since 1997. I can understand why players feel the way they do. All you have to do is scroll down ESPNs videos. In the past they showed all wnba highlights, now it's all cc. If they truly cared about the wnba they would be pushing to show more of the whole league in between the cc videos. So how is she helping the whole league? All other teams have been pushed out the way, only ppl benefiting now is cc and the fever. Even the teams what beat cc get no talk time. I want to see everyone benefit but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[@SparkthatOldEl]

Yeah she hasn’t won anything yet.. maybe the queen or princess like lebron called himself the king prior to him winning his first in Miami

[@user-zj4sl1oz4y]

Before Caitlin Clark, I cannot name a single WNBA player’s name. That makes her a star😂!

[@zakiasimpson8928]

Imagine wanting to be seen and valued and everyone telling you the only person of value in the league is CC

[@julianwahly3372]

Those other women are not relatable or likeable. Thats the problem. Caitlin is likeable and people relate to her. If nobody likes you and you are always angry nobody wants to be watch or be around that. I learned that in my own life. Once I made myself more likable I got invited out more oftern by coworkers, etc.

[@raymondrios8182]

A lot of wnba players don't like the others to have a platform.shes bringing recognition to the wnba.also that's why nobody watches because of the turasis of the world

[@mikemanolo]

No one else in the league is likable?

[@RT-qz5ci]

They are all alphabet people. CC represents common people way more

[@julianwahly3372]

@@mikemanolo Thats not what I meant. I should have worded it differently. I meant the ones that are making comments on TV and social media. This is a golden opportunity for everyone to shine and get recognition and quit putting the haters on. The media is going to ruin this for everyone. Who cares who gets the credit. The men didnt care that bird, magic, or jordan got credti for bringing attention to the league because they knew everyone was going to benefit from the exposure. The market has decided she is the chosen one and all will get more money because of her.

[@bocbay7480]

Joy Taylor mentioned that the old NBA players complained about the new NBA players having better accommodations like flights, food, etc. On the contrary, the "old heads" were reminding the new NBA players who complained about current NBA accommodations, to be thankful since during their time they used to be in commercial flights instead of chartered flights, among others.
