It’s a long road to hoe, to make it popular, but they have to take advantage while it’s hot, like Cabbage Patch Kids, Beanie Babies, or Tickle Me Elmo.

Hadn't heard of her, but she has some impressive accomplishments and solid stats. Maybe she doesn't have the on court charisma of Clark, but they'll all get more notice now that Clark has stirred so much interest and live attendance and TV viewership is up a huge margins.

We No Can Dunk! But Good Fundamentals!

The problem is, in the past when I've (rarely) seen clips of the WNBA they didn't look like they had good fundamentals or competency.

This is why nobody watches the WNBA...

I've only seen clips of Angel Reese. But her fundamentals were lacking. She is unable to make simple layups.

Mahomes, mahomes, he is ancient history.

Caitlin Clark? I wish her the best. She is a, “one of a kind!”

I will follow her struggles with the wnba’s black lesbian bitches but never see her play.
I haven’t watched any basketball since I found out that it was as fake as wrestling!

Good luck, Caitlin.

Clark's rise has been prioritized over other black players who are regarded as being on a similar level of talent, but are overlooked due to their race

I must be missing something here. Popular athletes #1, #2, and #3 are all African American (Curry is light skinned, Tiger is darker, and LeBron is dark skinned, but they are all considered black by present-day racial standards). Caitlin just happens to be the most popular white athlete, but she doesn't even get the bronze, much less the gold, for athletes in general.

Not necessarily a good phrase to use concerning the WNBA 🙃

You don't have to watch a whole game. But that girl can definitely play ball. She can make 3s from all over the court.

Not sure of the home city of the Sky.

Why has Angel Reese failed to be popular? She things she is entitled to it, but few want to to watch her play or many others play. Could it be the attitude of so many in the WNBA?

I am not going to totally subscribe to Mythical Racism as to why Clark is popular. I think it lies in the vales she was raised with and her commitment to being a good player and not having the entitled attitude so many others have.

She may well end up leaving the WNBA and when that happens there goes the surge of interest in the league. The players are trying to get rid of the only real star the league has.

Then she will fill a lot of seats so the more money she brings in the more she will be paid. At least that’s how it works in other sports.

All this hype to make some money. She is the Great White Hope and precieved to be a savior of a financially bankrupt business model. Ugly lesbians, American hating, racist black hood rats bouncing a little ball. Nobody watches, nobody cares. Nobody will know who she is in 5 years, after the female thugs knock her out of the league of their own.

She is. She made twice as much NIL money as Caitlin Clark.

They are overlooked due to their intense dislikability.

Clark is the hero; Reese is the heel. Vince McMahon is obviously consulting.

That was then, this is now and the Tv ratings are not there for her.
