She should be glad her bunk league got a shout out.

[nwrep]

Surprised this dyke did not complain about Trump being MOTY.

[Lizavetta]

"We have so much talent out there that has been unrecognized, and I don't think we can just pin it on one player," Johnson said. .

Uh, actually you CAN just pin it on one player. Clark boosted ratings and attendance. If your other players were as good then they'd be ... oh, what's the word ... RECOGNIZED.

The Welfare NBA should turn back all their NBA subsidy checks and start facing the marketplace on their own.

The current subsidy is $15 million a year.

[Glad2bnuts]

Exactly my thought, why get in the way of good publicity.?

[Dilbert San Diego]

So based on her reasoning you could never recognize any individual player.

You can’t have a most valuable player in baseball. You have to recognize the National League as being the most valuable league, for example.

[Bullish]

...saying it's unfair to give Clark all the credit for the WNBA's rise in popularity.

Well, it sure wasn't because of you nappy headed morons, Sheila.

"On September 24, 2005, she married Arlington County Circuit Court Chief Judge William T. Newman, who had presided over her 2002 divorce. The couple first met three decades earlier when they acted in a play together.[14]"

A bad person.

[kawhill]

Should I mention that Washington Mystics co-owner Sheila Johnson is black and Caitlin is white? No, that would be racist.

[blackdog]

Yeah. You got it too.

[JennysCool]

Everyone must get a participation trophy, or the cover of Time.

[dowcaet]

Shelia Johnson is the first black female billionaire and co-founder of BET. Yet, we know where her mindset is. Just say it out loud Shelia. You don’t want Caitlin Clark getting that award because she’s white!

[blackdog]

If it wasn’t for bad ethics, black bureaucrats by large would have no ethics, whatsoever.

[vpintheak]

Racist racist racist. There is no possibility you can misconstrue the impact CC had on the unwatchable WNBA. She is without a shred of doubt THE only reason it gained popularity.

[Vision]

Sheila Johnson, your clownish racial hatred is showing.

[9YearLurker]

Wife of billionaire BET founder Robert Johnson.

[ClaytonForester]

“I’m gonna be very honest. I feel very bad because I’ve seen so many players of color that are equally as talented.”

Who would that be?

[databoss]

Simply cannot give Clark credit for her talent drawing record crowds.
