Why Nike Banned the Caitlin Clark Shoe

Absolutely. Leadership at the top is non-existent. The only thing she seems to do is cower in the face of political correctness and placate the moaners and complainers. A good commissioner would start with a crackdown on over-the-top flagrant aggression in the league, put in place a program to monitor, review, and address the terrible refereeing in the league, and step down on players, coaches, and owners who blindly label good supportive fans with blanket terms like racists. I can't believe the owners overall aren't screaming at Engelbert to get her act together and address some of the most dysfunctional aspects of this league.

[@markuse3472]

A. The racist filthy media, WNBA and ESPN ladies have had goals from the start. One (1) was to not give Caitlin the MVP Nor The ROTY award and succeeded in one since they had promised Aja the MVP EVEN BEFORE The season started. 2. To have The Fever and Caitlin lose as many games as possible and as was obvious to lose in the playoffs (The Fever WOULD HAVE WON that series but for the WNBA's filthy tactics). 3. Losing the Playoffs meant they knew had the Fever won they may just win the whole thing and they could not allow Caitlin to become maybe the Biggest Athlete the world has ever seen, surely the biggest female ever. 4. As suggested above, the WNBA players have easily damaged Caitlins greatness--she would have been even greater if not for the physical and mental abuse that has been allowed by the WNB (and NBA since they pay the WNBA). Those were their goals. Moving on, (B) nothing was done against RACISM when C Carter shoved Caitlin down and calling her a "White B#$%@#" but the WNBA states they 'wont tolerate hate or racism...'? They have beaten Caitlin Clark up, both physically and mentally and they expect the masses to just go along with it?!!! THAT IS WHY there is much unrest within CC's fans, because the WNBA and the racist media turn a blind eye to the abuse the THE White girl who has actually helped this filthy league rise. If the abuse on Caitlin was not tolerated by the WNBA/Refs, nor by the heads of ESPN, Disney, ABC and others, all things would have very much more peaceful and neutral presently. C. The WNBA players claiming Fever fans are the ones who are too abusive. These uneducated ladies can't read nor can't see nor are reason and logic their forte. The hate towards Caitlin is MUCH greater and has been for a long time which is why Caitlin/Fever fans need to stand up for her and what is right and sound because she wont. D. It is these WNBA players, the ones hating Caitlin and her awesomeness, who have made all of this a Black and White issue while at the same time they indirectly piss on Asians and Latinos for totally ignoring them in just about every branch of entertainment. They cry out racism yet they too dish it out towards every other race, ethnicity and background. REMEMBER, there are many Asians and Latinos who also enjoy Caitlin Clark and want her to play over seas, so are they racist, too, not to mention there are many Blacks who also support Caitlin?

[@Dombledore11]

WNBA players complain for years about lack of attention, then a superstar comes along and brings them attention, and they shun her for it. Clark is like a rising tide that lifts all ships, but the WNBA players would rather sink her than let her be the force that brings them up. Pretty sad.

As a black man who is decidedly left wing, nothing irritates me more than when people bastardize what could be useful terms for their own gain. It's not just Caitlin Clark. The entire new generation of women's basketball players are getting way more attention. JuJu will be getting just as much spotlight when she comes. And that's because the skill level and playstyle of women's basketball has dramatically changed. The new girls don't just play better, they look better when they do it. And that's better for social media, which is how they're getting popular. And Aja trying to intellectualize her own jealousy by weaponizing terms like "white privilege" is so fucking lame.

All those bum ladies are privileged, they need to be quiet. First off they have the genetics to play ball. Second they live in a country that enables people who are athletic to become pros while getting a free education as per scholarship. Third, they have a pro league that is subsidised by the NBA, because in over 20 years the WNBA hasnt managed to be profitable cause nobody really cares about it. The WNBA Allstar Team would get blown out by 18 year old D1 bench players.

This is exactly why Nike is struggling and is an $82 stock instead of a $120 stock like it used to be. Clark should have signed with Under Armor and branded with Curry.

Bigs could never sell shoes. Duncan, Robinson, Olajuwan, etc. Ewing did okay with BK but was short lived. CC will outsell Aja' 10-1 and Nike knows this. Nike is so woke. Should of signed with Kevin Plank and Under Armour. CC and Steph would make a dynamic duo in shoe sales.

There is tons of brands other than UA. UA is done. They had a chance and they overplayed their hand. They thought they were the next Nike. But they priced themselves out of the market and never developed anything new. There is Puma, Adidas, New Balance, as well as some chinese brands, I think Wade and Klay are signed to chinese brands. Why is this whole thread bringing up UA who have nothing going for them.

Watch as those who have been playing for the game had to play along because of all the selfishness and ego that has come out of the woodwork since Caitlin came to town! Oooo! Have they gotten their feathers ruffled over her. She has the audacity to come into their league and just wants to play the game that she loves? She should have knowing there are rules and a pecking order she must follow, just like the other players! The problem for the WNBA elite is, the basketball world has taken notice and is now in the game Too! The, “It’s All About Me,” days are over!

She's going through some of the same issues Steph went through when he was just going into superstardom. Players disliked him and felt he didn't deserve all the hype but just like Steph is she balls out next year and is in MVP talks the league will fall in place and accept that she is a generational talent.

[@nopemang4356]

I don't understand why there is so much media pushback against Clark, she's the real deal. In the NBA, young and talented players are immediately put on everyone's radar. But in the WNBA, players of lesser talents are propped up?

[@Aquaneos1193]

I've been following her career closely since entering the W. She gets all of my support because one she is entertaining to watch and two; I can't stand bullies and racism especially from people who believe they are not. So yeah I'm watching every game and buying her merchandise. My business will play every Fever game and refuse to watch any other team until Brink comes back and Paige/Juju come into the league.

The beauty of pro sports is that you don't make it without hard work and talent. Your skin color doesn't get you anywhere if you can't perform. Does she really think that CC is where she is because she's white? She set the all-time scoring record in college. She was making shots from a distance never seen in women's college basketball and rarely seen in men's basketball. She took two teams to the NCAA finals that may not have made the tournament without her. I used to admire her, but I'm so over A'ja Wilson. When her shoe sells weakly and Clark's sales go through the roof, I'm sure she'll be bitter about it, and not give a thought to how her own negativity is turning people off to her.
