Why WNBA Players Hate Caitlin Clark

[@blue-phoenix115]

Women would rather destroy each other than watch another woman rise in the spotlight all by herself.

[@barryjamesbugarin5736]

100% correct!

[@charlescaldwell4595]

Let's just say the truth and the truth is the WNBA players don't like Clark or Reese because they are straight. They despise Clark more because she is straight, Catholic and white. Skylar got treated like garbage and she isn't the only straight player who has gone public. The America hating lesbians feel that the WNBA is their property.

[@Xsploor]

Neither did Steph, KD, Embiid, Harden Kyrie, Shaq, Wilt, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Akeem Olajuwon, Dr. J... the list of legendary players who never won a college championship is far too long to put in a single post. Only a handful of players ever win a college title, because there are too many games, teams and players to fight through, and it's all one and done at tournament time. That's not even to mention players like Lebron, Kobe, Giannis, Doncic and Jokic who never even played college ball. No one cares about someone's past when they played with a bunch of amateurs, legends are made as a pro playing against other pros, the best in the world.

[@StevenLeeStudios]

Females love destroying each other and playing victim. Emotional beings who can barely control their emotions. You see jealousy and hate, rather than praise. This isn't the case with the NBA, men call it like it is and we uplift anyone who is doing great and wish to see a thriving future for them. I think the recent problem with Wemby being such a phenom, the young squad barely wanted to give him the ball, when they know they can probably score much more efficiently with him being more involved. Now they are starting to get it, give the guy more looks, and he's throwing dimes, blocking, stealing, scoring. Teams and players will be much worse off if the roleplayers don't embrace talent. Not only will they lose out on money, they may lose out being part of history. I feel like Caitlin will have to go through that ringer but much worse, due to women being way more jealous. She will be making millions, while every player in the WNBA will be payed only a small fraction of that.

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

Not saying women don't do this but men typically are innately aware of their legacy and how they impacted the future generations similar to how the previous shaped their drive and growth in their profession. That's why you see guys take on the master-apprentice role. Not every but many do and even the criticisms are generally tough love although some do be hating

@@emssasukeisunderrated7946 You are correct, we value hardship and work ethic. If you see that in a person, you only want to help them grow if they are willing. No man, unless you are an absolute piece of garbage, would turn down a mentorship or a friendship in order to help eachother grow in the league. So many of these guys have done this throughout the history of NBA, and there is nothing but competitive nature and no jealousy. If you were a jealous player, people see that and call you out. No one wants a cry baby on their team. Teamwork makes the dreamwork. You can't win all the time if your teammates hate you.

Like I know for instance like Wilt and Kareem had a falling out but in high school, college and early in the league Wilt helped him out as much as possible. It's crazy the amount of hate she gets without even playing a game in their league.

Numbers don't lie. Viewership numbers for the Elite 8 came in like this: Iowa v. LSU - 12.3m UConn v. USC - 6.7m SCar v. Oregon - 3.1m NCSt v. Texas - 2.5m Meaning Iowa/LSU drew as many viewers as the other 3 games combined. I will argue that interest in CC increased viewership across the board and history supports this. How many new viewers tuned in to watch CC and discovered that other players, other teams, and other games are worth watching? So instead of bashing those who never watched, you should be saying "Welcome to the party. Glad you came, stick around for a while". But NO, you start spewing hate, and that is not how you grow the game.

Problem is that if we talk about players being the GOAT and what qualities they need to have to quantify they know they don’t so they don’t want to go by that qualifications. As long as I can remember the GOAT talk wasn’t about who won Championships because an average player can easily end up winning a championship because they were lucky enough to be on the team with a GOAT player. What defines a true GOAT is someone who brings out the best in the players on their team, how even if they are average players by playing with her/him they become amazing players. She/him is able to control and facilitate the game. They are the ones making it a true team sport in which even if she/he is having an average/bad night the rest of the team with their facilitating is able to bring it home and win. There are only a few basketball players that can do this and that are Magic, Bird, Jordan, Thomas. Not even Kobe can truly be put in this category because he wasn’t consistent enough and James doesn’t have this ability at all which is why we moved away from judging the GOAT by these qualities and to how much records, championships and awards you won to get you in that status.
