I predict that the Caitlin Clark effect has already fizzled out. Her fans will simply lose interest. I think it's already happening now.
It probably will fizzle somewhat. For one thing, her scoring skill is no longer such a stunning rarity. Another thing is, to be blunt, she’s not much of a looker. That should not matter, but if does, when you’re frequently being seen on TV. I’m hoping she has been getting advice on saving her money and seeking long term endorsements.
I think Caitlin repeatedly makes a point of sounding humble and giving homage to black women of the past, because she thinks the jealous black girl players won’t mistreat her (so much) if she reminds them of her ‘gratitude’. She is wrong.
best to develop lucrative skills and contacts totally outside of basketball. The media let these teams get away with poor treatment of a white player. That’s not changing anytime soon.
