'Let's talk about basketball!' Caitlin Clark bristles in news conference Fever star Caitlin Clark gets frustrated with reporters for asking about scuffles with the Sun despite Indiana advancing to the Commissioner's Cup championship.
Why does the media keep playing the same old game of division?
Nobody is interested in women’s basketball, Kaitlyn.
Does she just have to talk to the reports, and if so, must it be done every game? Some of these players would much rather play the game and not have to dodge more ‘gotcha!’ questions.
Well, this time it was white girls beating her up.
Why do we keep seeing posts about her? She’s a leftist idiot that supports democrats.
Because we want to talk about her.
When you start playing basketball, we’ll talk about it.
Because that is what the press has become, a force for division, and Caitlin Clark breaks a sacred narrative.
Nobody is asking you to read these posts. Piss off
She is a kayfabe ‘face’
White girl bleed a lot.
Actually, it’s a league rule. The press requests who they want to talk to. If the player refuses, they get fined.
And with the crap salaries the women get paid (and appropriately so) they cannot afford to get fined much.
And the sports reporters are the least curious or imaginative people on the face of the earth.
I used to have to photograph sessions like that. The players hate them. The teams hate them. And most of the reporters hate them.
There must be a better way. But having reporters crawl around the locker room seems creepy in the WNBA.
I’ve seen articles stating that there’s been a big spike in women’s basketball precisely BECAUSE of Caitlin Clark.
The idiots harassing her are killing the goose that’s laid a golden egg for them.
Yes, but people are very interested in her. The attendance figures literally collapsed the minute she went out for an injury.
Nobody? Through the first 76 games of the 2025 season, the WNBA attendance average is 10,706 per game with a high of 19,496 and low of 3,265. The average attendance for the 2024 season was 9,807 with a high of 20,711 and low of 3,255. While these numbers pale compared to NBA (and NHL), they are not exactly "nothing." (Reminds me of the old Yogi Berra quip, "Nobody goes there any more because its too crowded.")
Quite frankly, I prefer the WNBA over the NBA. Although the game is not as fast or athletic, in the WNBA, the teams play defense and seem to pass the ball and spread it around. Just my opinion.
Dittos.
How does Indiana “advance” to any “championship” with a 6-5 record? The WNBA is so pathetic.
Seems like they’re trying to turn women’s basketball into pro wrestling. I’d watch if the maximum player height is 5’6” and they wear bikinis. You can fit plenty of sponsor logos on a bikini.
WHO HAS A LARGER HAND THAN LEBRON?
