“The WNBA’s players don’t want Caitlin Clark to succeed”

Is there any evidence to support that, or is it just the guys opinion?

When star athletes are moving to the next level, there is typically a lot of buzz...sometimes months before they even play a game. Think Tiger Woods. Thing Peyton Manning. Think Ichiro. Leagues couldn’t stop talking about these players. Do you hear anything close to that with Caitlin Clark? I’m not glues to ESPN, but what I have heard is that she aint all that. She hasn’t won a championship. She’s got a boyfriend. In other words.....she aint welcome. With all that said, Caitlin Clark should use the cold shoulder she’s getting to burn her desire to do do great things. That’s what Jackie Robinson did.

To me, we’ve got to stop talking about people’s identity and start talking about their ability. Until we get back to that in every aspect of life, we’re all just wasting our time.

I think he did a good job of presenting facts to support his thesis.

Some guys opinion for now.
My guess is that if she brings the fans that it looks like she will then she will be fine.
But the WNBA yes has many lesbies.

Sheryl Swoopes, a former WNBA star (and failed college basketball coach) has been bad-mouthing Clark vigorously, to the point of propagating false information about Clark’s college record. How representative her opinion is relative to that of current players is hard to say, but I’m unaware of any of them telling Swoopes to back off (it took a black male commentator to do that).

Look up Sheryl Swoopes, if you’ve just come out of a coma. But thanks for the concern, Mr. Concern.
