I don't understand this at all. The ONE person that has generated any interest in their shitty league, and they continually do this.
She should leave that awful league and go play in Europe where she'll both get paid more and be treated better.
I agree. She should hold a press conference and tell the the WNBA that she's quitting, and they can go fuck themselves.
It's click bait is all it is.
Yup, injured or whatever, she is laying fucking bricks this year.You guys are hilarious. Lots of other players get hit the same amount as Caitlin Clark, the difference is no one makes a big deal out of it. You guys don't watch the WNBA so you only have social media to go by.
I've watched games where WGAS players take the exact same hits, and no one says anything about it. It doesn't lead SportsCenter and it doesn't trend on Twitter. But as soon as Clark takes one of those hits, it's national news.
But I do think there is an element of jealousy out there. A player who is shooting 36% from the field (29% from 3-pt range) is getting treated like Jordan/Steph/Lebron while much better players don't receive near the buzz.
About a month ago I pointed out how Wesbrook gets heckled and called Westbrick for shooting 40% from the field and 30% from 3-point range. Clark puts up those numbers as she's celebrated like she's Jesus in high-tops.
Racism
I get that, although she's pretty much the only player who has mass appeal and the league is trying to raise its profile/garner more attention with her as the player the general public pays attention to. I don't think the league or anybody else has more of a vested interest than that, and you'd think the rest of the players would appreciate it to some extent.
It wasnt halted right away. They kept the play going until the offense was done with their possession.
Just when you think there couldn't possibly be more stupid shit to laugh at this league over, they up their game.
This is my point. You guys are openly admitting you don't watch the sport in one breath, then in the next complaining that she's being singled out and picked on. How do you know if she's being singled out if you don't watch?
To be fair they took their cue from the soft ass era that's been fostered by the NBA and LeBron.
Do you enjoy regularly watching the WNBA? Honest question, not sure I've ever talked to an actual fan of the league?
I watch about 2-3 games a week. I watched last night's Liberty vs Lynx game on ESPN.
Poked in the eye. Play is over body checked and then a second girl comes and body checks her? Is that really regular in the WNBA because the feels a bit out of control?
