Will the treatment of Caitlin Clark by WNBA Players turn off new fans? Angel Reese takes shot at her

[@perryickes8991]

Clark will endure all critics and be a WNBA star for next 10 years

[@tommy2chips]

I am a new fan to the WNBA. If Caitlin Clarks leaves the WNBA then I will to.

[@Rid93]

So go. You're not a true basketball fan.

[@MsGoodyTwoShoes]

Bye

[@EricGreen-i6s]

If Angel leaves I'm gone too

[@tommy2chips]

@@Rid93 I am a fan that puts my money into things that I like. I have tickets to see both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. I am learning about the players. But the "abuse" that is happening to Caitlin is not making the WNBA look good. When you have athleties both men and women criticizing the events of Caitlin Clark it is very bad.

[@tommy2chips]

[@ellis1975]

I'm so confused as to how people "that think like you" think the WNBA players should treat Clark. Are they supposed to allow her to score at will and then "step-n-fetch" for her during the post-game interview? Diana stated there would be a learning curve and she was ABSOLUTELY correct! Y'all were so enamored with CC's ability to launch long-range 3's that you overlooked her inability to play defense OR the fact that she's not athletic enough to create her own shot and is relegated to being a spot-up 3-point shooter. She's always complaining to the refs and pouting over the calls she doesn't get. She acts very entitled but nobody calls her out for it. At the end of the day, the WNBA is a very super-concentrated league when it comes to talent. CC has not shown the ability to guard her opponent and is struggling to get her shot off without the aid of a screen/pick. Basically, most teams in the WNBA have a "Raven Johnson" to guard her, except CC also has to play defense and can't just hide out on an opponent that doesn't look to score. Please stop thinking the entire league should just kiss CC's azz! It's like when a HS player goes to college and is then on a team full of 1st team All-Americans. CC will improve her game offensively but she'll never live up to the hype because she'll always be deficient on defense and a lot of opponents will "cancel" her out.

[@bwdubb9898]

Only reason I’m interested is the new rookies coming in. Otherwise I’m not interested in watching

[@Rid93]

So they should lay it down for her and make it easy for her? They don't make it easy for other top draft picks. She'll be fine. Just let them play and shut up.

[@VSOPSportsRadio]

Nobody said that. But again why knock down the main reason people are watching your sport??

[@Rid93]

Nobody said that, but you act like they should just let her score. She's the main reason you watch. Which I know why. I know what you are about. It's obvious watching your video.

STOP LYING ON ANGEL SHE TOO BUSY BALLIN AINT TALKING BOUT CLARK

[@bobjones289]

Yup the numbers don't lie. True she's got no national championship wins but CC will be ok. NBA TV just reported some numbers read into them what you will. Aces vs Fever drew a 333,000 viewership. These numbers don't include peek viewership unfortunately. The sky drew 60,000 viewers on NBA TV. The Liberty drew almost 13 k in attendance with the sky in town. The Fever came into town 18 k plus 2 million plus gate that was a record. The LA Sparks vs Fever no wins yet by the way 19 k plus a sellout. Probably a very good night for the sparks ownership. Sellout in a different arena in Las Vegas, sellout pretty much where ever she plays. I would think she's has some effects of attendance and viewership. Definitely not the only reason obviously. If the league is smart they should hype the he double hockey 🏒"s out of the upcoming Sky vs Fever game's. I'm not sure if younger fans noticed a similarity between CC and Reese. Older fans might have. CC (Bird) no national championship wins. Reese (Magic) beat CC for the national championship. Bird and Magic entered the league together so did Reese and CC. I look forward to their rivalry for many years to come.

[@VSOPSportsRadio]

Great analysis! I appreciate you providing that insight! They DEFINITELY should capitalize on that rivalry

[@jimsouff3695]

I aint watching it because of her. I'm watching it black lady

[@djlutz9443]

No one is watching

[@IrwinWilson-v7e]

Brother what games were you watching. Catlin disrespected both LSU with the John Cena, & Raven Johnson from Lady Gamecocks, Who she disrespectfully waved off. Catlin got silenced , And she has no crown doc

[@kennymwalker]

nothing reese can say,shes way out of her league

[@samandollie1]

I have never seen anyone guarded as tight as she has been!

[@Rid93]

It's a sport. Are they supposed to let her score 40 on them? No. She's also playing against better competition.

[@bobjones289]

But based on some of the comments she's not that good. Doesn't even have a national championship. So why the double teaming. Maybe because she can actually shoot. Maybe because the other team isn't worried about the open player.

[@Rid93]

@@bobjones289 She's good. But, so is the competition. She's not in college anymore.

[@bobjones289]

@@Rid93 I would hope CC and the rest of draft class of 24 knew that before they got drafted. Reese found out really fast with that hard foul. You gotta give Stewart props as well the screen knocked CC on her fanny right quick. But they both got up and continued to play. Part of the game. Give her class some time their skills will get better. Martin got lucky. Not only is she talented but the aces are a stacked team already a lock to win the championship this year. AJ is a beast. So is KP.

[@geronimopratt7976]

Its a competitive sport, I don't think there should be any easy roads

[@bobjones289]

Hard foul on Reese definitely not right. A hard screen sure Stewart knocked CC on her fanny. She got back up and continued to play though. Just like Reese did.

[@Icebergwallst]

So you think the players should take it easy on her, fix the game on her behalf y’all sound ridiculous.

[@Rid93]

The video is stupid. Just causing problems that aren't there. It's a sport. You're not supposed to let her score at will. You are there to beat her team and her.

[@Icebergwallst]

She was a National phenomenon in college WNBA not so much so far.

[@mommawolf9653]

She was drafted to literally the WORST team in the WNBA. Basketball isn't a one woman game, BUT CC damn near carries all of them.

[@vodriscoll]

She was picked by Indiana because the worst team gets first pick. She is doing her part. Now the rest of the team needs to step up.

[@bythesunrise3423]

Interesting video! Just wanted to note that her name is spelt Caitlin.

[@Mindvirus-ly5ed]

yeah, they have exposed how ratchet the wnba players are. it's ok to go all out on the court, it's the hate and jealousy that is a turn off. I watched the wnba it's first season and hadn't watched it since. Now i remember why, mediocre bball and drama. nobody needs that. CC just wants to play ball. I think there are others like her in the league. but the over hyped prima donnas are a huge turn off.

[@gray_foxx583]

Why in the hell should the player celebrate this rookie who has yet to win anything?

[@bkuhn30]

Because if she boosts the ratings then they all of them will get paid, duh. Most people who never watched a minute of women's basketball actually watched because of her.

@bkuhn30 Get your nose out of....... You said....."if" you want to give her a crown and she ain't put in no work. That's the same thing MJ said about Steph he'll be in the hall of fame when he's in the hall of fame.

It was mentioned that Caitlin Clark was in Angel Reese's shadow. What accomplishments does Angel Reese have. Ok her team LSU won 1 National Title. She didn't accomplish it by herself, and actually fouled out with 3 min left in the Remach game they lost to Caitlin, Marshall, Martin, Stulke, Affalter and the rest of the Hawkeyes. Reese has no individual anything and a transfer athlete. And crying she was sexualized after the loss to Iowa, Really! Unfortunately the Fever players and coach cant get out of their own way. Why pick Caitlin Clark as your future if all you want to do is tear her down. Jealousy comes to my mind.

[@IrwinWilson-v7e]

Will the treatment of Angel Reese's fan by the wnba turn of old fans and new fans from the wnba? That's another question you can ask as well. The answer is Yes. I refuse to watch Indiana's games until the put Angel's game on national tv. It's what ,almost a month in the season and she still hasn't been on national tv. I'll watch every other team or girl I want to support except for Indiana til they start putting more of Angel's and Cardozza games on TV. You keep pushing that false narrative that we're hating on Caitlin Clark. We love Caitlin Clark, she is a baller. Angel's fan love Caitlin but I don't think Caitlin 's fan love Angel Reese. You named all the things Caitlin Clark has but didn't really name what Angel Reese has done or has. Angel has won the ncaa championship, she has a shoe endorsement and many other deals,and even ownership in a team,she is doing it all like the real Barbie. Once again Caitlin Clark did the "you can't see me first" and she waved off Raven first but she didn't become the villian but they both got championships against her. "Its ok when she does it,it's a problem when we do it" I love Larry bird but I also want to see my Magic. I love Caitlin but I also want to see my Angel Reese,My Sears Tower
