Diana's points are valid for sure. It's just the total disdain in her delivery that makes it seem more personal than MAYBE it is. We also have to understand that college is a cult, and Taurasi was in Cultville, UConn, so again, when referencing Paige, the favoritism towards the UConn connection shows up in Taurasi's voice, meaning that if Paige played for Iowa and Clark played for UConn, Taurasi's comments would be completely reversed even though she would have been speaking about the exact same players. (A big part of it may not be related to the Caitlin/Paige debate, but rather the UConn vs non-UConn angle.) Peer pressure from her UConn connection, whether real or perceived, I'm sure has an effect on how she views, and vocally translates those views on audio/video, referring to the non-UConn star Clark and the UConn star Paige. Some people just are perceived as abrasive even though they may not be as abrasive as they come across to the masses.

Yet the reason for this is 1, as we all know, the wnba loses 10 million each year, and besides that, is subsidized by the NBA. And to say its unfair for women to be payed less, is completely an understatement. In fact, if you look at it, sabrina is making more than most wnba rookies, and, numbers wise, is making more on percentage value if you look at the numbers than 80% of NBA rookies of comparing to revenue to salary.

And yes I've seen Taurasi, Wilson, Stewart, Plum, Parker, Griner, Lobo Swoopes and many others WNBA and NCAA women's basketball players on ESPN and during the Olympics and they didn't inspire me to come back for more -- Clark has.

[@-onyx2626]

CC manages to be graceful, while going all out! If women don't start watching now, they never will.

[@nikkijones2745]

Jealous??? She did the hand gesture first to Angel but YOUR PPL somehow thought Angel should’ve been fined that’s why we aren’t receptive. CC waving blk players off but she didn’t bank on her going to a predominantly blk league…Stop the madness…Diana Taurasi is white and so many others as well that we root for.. stop the bs..

[@jimmyramen]

How can they hate on her? She’s the only reason people are paying attention to the WNBA

[@twilliams2433]

Nice INFOMERCIAL dude; another Caitlin Clark hype clip.

[@houseofsquared]

You know why that is? The Current WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement is heavily charity based, which means regardless of marketability, players more than what they actually deserve With Caitlyn Clark's popularity, if she became popular, she might want a more result oriented salary on the next CBA, when the current one expires, that means that she's going to get the salary she deserves based on what the market will dictate, which would also mean that all the charity based contracts of other players will change to what the market dictates And if there's one thing these women hates, it's earning what they actually deserve.

[@danielcarneiro8312]

Here's my opinion. Those WNBA players are just women, they don't really like seing someone better than them, so they talk bad about her, but has the NBA players who are the best of the game, when they see someone has good as them, they recognize the latent and work and respect it instead of insulting it

[@Pharese00]

This reminds of the Bill Burr bit about the WNBA 😂

[@aimson]

CC caused me to watch the first 4 WNBA games I've ever had in my 41 years of life. The team (Fever) itself sucks, but overall I thought the games were okay. I think the lack of physicality is a big negative for me. Overall good shooting, and CC is fun to watch. I think the skill of the entire league will have to continue to grow for me to pay much attention, and I think I'm not the only one.

[@wizarddragon]

Let me get this right. There are Women basketball players who have been working to raise awareness of their sport and when they got the best opportunity to do just that, they are hating on her?

[@brettloo7588]

racist?

[@KewlBrown]

You can tell Caitlin Clark has the “it” factor. Something about her is special. Different from the rest of them. Hopefully she lives up to everyone’s expectations. I’ll be following her for now.

[@bobby12348]

She no Goat by losing every game.😂😂🤣

[@KewlBrown]

@@bobby12348 yeah but she is the only reason I’m following the WNBA right now. So there’s that.

[@marymorris6897]

Thank you for this upbeat analysis. You did a great job putting it together.

[@xltek1]

She’s not irritating.

[@GeekRex]

Diana who? Take a look at WNBA highlights from last year. Look at how empty the stands are.

[@claudeken3602]

Buckeye is some foolish work😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@timcervantes2957]

She has more hype around her as far as what her potential is than lebron did. As a fan if she doesnt live up to being the best ever its fine i just hope she doesnt get a career ending injury, or grow to have addiction issues. Because to me as an outsider the most valuable thing she can have is a long career continue to get better and hopefully win some trophies and medals

[@kellyaustin7487]

Not the best player, the best three point shooter. Big difference!

[@apolloprocards7011]

Jealousy is the reason

[@christopherneely2237]

She cannot be Michael Jordan because she cannot play defense. She can be Seth Curry.

[@christopherneely2237]

Steph Curry, I meant.

[@smsler5569]

She changing the sport but jealous black players can't handle the fact that she's better than them.

[@757bigj]

Either she's better than them or she's bigger, more known and more marketable. NBA players support the wnba for the most part especially the ones who have daughters .

[@user-li6zk2kh1j]

Shes good. Doesnt matter if she doesnt have wnba experience. You all wanted athletes in college to be able to market themselves so deadl with it.

[@TheDeadlyTikka]

Lebron had a similar thing when he came into the league. Everyone knew he was special and was going to change the game so the vets in the league refused to admit it and talked about how different the league was and he wouldn't make it. People are bitter

[@TasanChannel]

Revenue is generated by TV viewership and advertising dollars. The WNBA TV ratings will double or triple due to Caitlyn Clark's arrival. This is the effect Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan had, bringing in casual fans to TV watch and sell out stadiums. This will double or triple WNBA salaries. All WNBA players should be happy about Caitlyn Clark. The effect on Women's NCAA Basketball Finals TV ratings with Clark in the 2023 and 2024 Finals: -- CC 2024 9.3 Rating 18.8 M Viewers -- CC 2023 5.2 Rating 9.9M Viewers -- 2021 2.7 Rating 4.8M Viewers -- 2020 2.0 Rating 4.2M Viewers

[@-onyx2626]

Preach! She's like Tiger Woods.

[@BD-ji6qu]

Totally said buckeye and being a Nebraska fan, I kinda loved that.

[@playerone3885]

Why nba players love Clark: because she can ball. Why wnba players hate Clark: because she can ball.

[@deltaheavy5553]

The second the WNBA might get more attention. The WNBA starts complaining about it. Good luck to them lol

[@kiolabear]

Nobody is hating or jealous of Caitlin to that degree. All Taurasi said was Caitlin is a rookie and this is the WNBA. It's the people that were never fans of the WNBA, sprouting hatred to anyone (especially WNBA players) questioning their savior.

[@jerrywilson6464]

Embrace this girl along with K. Cardoso and Angel Reese. Let them bring more eyes than ever to the WNBA, then other veteran greats will be seen. WNBA women, don't hate on her because of jealous egos...market this thing while the iron is hot in order to increase butts in seats which creates more money in your pockets.

[@edwarduymovies]

Caitlin Clark should be invited to play in the NBA all-star games - celebrity game, etc whichever. Glad she went with Nike. She's been wearing Kobe sneakers in Iowa so there's no reason she endorses UA as a pro. Also, let's have Clark join the NBA 3-Pt shootout.

[@donmon808]

Because NBA players just like ball, it isnt personal.

[@ed_ELA]

WNBA been around 30 years. It needs all the excitement, good press, and attention more than ever. Heck ill even watch now that shes in the leauge

[@user-qj4zb9ue6c]

Simple question, besides Sabrina and CC, how many WNBA players can you name off the top of your head? Now How many teams besides feaver? Now can you name who one the wnba championship this last year? Now compare that to how many people watched womens college basketball this year and the championship game, more people watched that then past wnba championships combined! This generation of womens basketball players will be what leads the wnba to future fame, and to say thats sexist it completly isnt. Caitlin is genuinly going to change the game and like he said in the video, this is the 90s for the WNBA. Old heads in the wnba just feel entitled to thinking they are the best ever, well guess what, people thought wilt was before jordan came along. WNBA players need to wake up and see CC and others will, no. 1 make them more money by making more people watch the game.

[@nineiron1481]

If Caitlin has the same effect of the WNBA that Tiger had on golf, they're all about to get paid!!!

[@donaldlee94]

Her and a few others were reasons I started watching college and now they're in WNBA I'll be following them in that as well. They are going to change the game for all of them.

[@sammyboi8574]

WNBA just not good enough Caitlin Clark is going to bring more revenue to wnba single handedly

[@ACEDshooter]

Remember what Charlie Barkley did. He thanked Larry and magic for saving the nba and making them millions. Caitlyn has the same opportunity and what does wnba players do, disparage her. Women ☕️

[@doctornrsfnly]

Clark is a brilliant player. But I think that the comparisons to Jordan or Wembanaya is problematic given that Raven Johnson exists. Raven Johnson Shut Caitlin ALL THE WAY DOWN in the biggest game of the entire season, so I am sure that pro women will be able to look at what Raven Did and do it to an even higher level. No individual player was EVER able to shut MJ down that completely in college so my expectations are that Clark will be excellent, but there will be some very determined individual on every team will be assigned specifically to shut her down...
