WNBA Hates Breakout Player Because She’s Straight And White

Remember the WNBA? The women’s basketball league the NBA started to draw more women into watching basketball? In it’s inaugural season, the WNBA finals drew 2.85 million viewers, when the Houston Comets won the first of their four championships.

It’s never reached those heights again, and the Comets folded in 2008. There was a mild uptick to 728,000 viewers last year.

So you’d think the league would welcome an exciting, highly skilled new breakout player.

You’d be wrong.

- “For almost three decades the WNBA has been a laughing stock and disgrace of a professional sports league that only survives due to NBA subsidies.”

- “A possible turning point for this sad existence of a league has arrived in the form of a basketball messiah.”

- “Caitlin Clark, the greatest and most popular female college basketball player of all time, has announced she’ll be joining the WNBA this upcoming season, and some think she can do for the WNBA what Larry, Magic or Jordan did for the NBA.” I think she can make it more popular, but I sincerely doubt she can produce the same boost that trio gave to the NBA’s fortunes. “The WNBA’s players don’t want Caitlin Clark to succeed.”

- “The WNBA is made up primarily of players who’ve been infected with the false ideas of modern feminism, which heavily focuses on issues related to race, sexuality, gender identity and participating in the oppression Olympics.” I would say “Get woke, go broke,” but the WNBA was already broke without NBA subsidies.

...

- “The first problem Clark will face is that she will be a straight player in a primarily LGBT dominated league, which some of you may think is nonsense and won’t have any effect.”

Iowa wins!

[coalminersson]

Iowa to Play Colorado in sweet 16.

WV Harrison did a good job on Clark

Iowa crashing the defensive boards in the last quarter won the game for them.

Game shows clark can be guarded, but she is also a good passer

Those who don’t know clark is 6’0” probably an wnba point guard.

“ I keep hearing chatter that Caitlin Clark might get drafted by an NBA team. Her shooting is good enough to make up for her lack of a floor game.”

If she goes NBA she’ll have to shoot a basketball, not a soccer ball.

Yeah sure dad. You think women’s basketball is boring but gymnastics isn’t? You must enjoy watching paint dry. Do you watch men’s figure skating and gymnastics for their agility and grace too? What a clown

Clark made clutch three throws down the stretch. Four for four.

I keep hearing chatter that Caitlin Clark might get drafted by an NBA team. Her shooting is good enough to make up for her lack of a floor game.

Is she a dead-eye on long threes? Without the weight/height/physicality, she won't be able to do anything. Short players like Barea or Iverson have to be aggressive, physical, or amazingly good to be successful. And by short I mean 5-11, and isn't that where she's at? Does she have the weight to back that up?

“If she goes NBA she’ll have to shoot a basketball, not a soccer ball.”

You are off subject but true for any woman, not just Clark who is a record setting shooter, ball handler, and floor manager.
