Shelia Johnson rightly points out that most all Negro Womyn basketball bouncers deliver far better cheap shots than Catlin Clark.

[rexthecat]

Nobody watches ladies golf either.

[Navy Patriot]

Oops, Caitlin Clark.

[Qwapisking]

she’s the ONLY reason I watch and the only reason the rest get any notice at all. for basketball anyway.

[Night Hides Not]

The phenomenon of Caitlin Clark is reaching its sell by date, now that she has taken on woke positions, such as claiming her “white privilege.”

[Alberta's Child]

"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.

The talent has been unrecognized because basketball sucks — and women’s basketball sucks to the 23rd power. But a photogenic white girl who plays your dumb sport will at least help you generate TV ratings comparable to an overnight “off-the-air” test pattern.

It'll be interesting to see how fans react in Indiana.

It's a red state. I wonder if they'll continue to sell out.

Allegedly, the WNBA is on the financial ropes.

Were I Clark, I’d go play in Europe for a year and see how the league does with out her.

Money talks long before race and sexual identity.

Clark is woke. She thinks that it's not their fault that everyone is bullying her. She went to Iowa, a liberal school.

[Beowulf]

No problem, Sheila Johnson. The bump in popularity the pathetic league got from Caitlin Clark’s court skills has largely been squandered by her recently vocalized kneeling to wokeism.

[kawhill]

lol. “TV ratings comparable to an overnight “off-the-air” test pattern.” I remember those when I was a kid. And a song about the surly bonds of earth or something.

“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.

Right. So why did no one watch your league before?

[falcon99]

Aww, upity little white girl beat Blacks at their own game and they can’t take it. Pretty pathetic.

[HIDEK6]

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

It wasn’t the rise of the National Race-Baiting Lesbians’ League’s popularity that occasioned the award, it was the rise in Caitlin Clark’s popularity that won the award.

[arthurus]

Caitlin Clark ssolely responsible for the rise in popularity of the WNBA but she should not get credit for that as she is a White Girl who cheats by not committing fouls and relying solely on her talent. It’s not fair!

[Rummyfan]

I saw a statistic today that stated 31% of the Mystics season attendance was accounted for in the two games when Clarke and the Fever played in Washington. So what does that say about the WNBA?

[Rummyfan]

Nobody watches ladies golf either.

They are very good technically but man, it's worse than watching paint dry.

[Robert A Cook PE]

You mean a WNBA owner actually married a man? In public?

The talent has been unrecognized because basketball sucks — and women’s basketball sucks to the 23rd power.

NBA ratings are down almost fifty percent over the last five years. I am a sportsaholic but I cannot watch a regular season NBA game.
