No, she hasn’t. Its never going to be profitable and make money on its own. Women dont support it. The only reason its existed for so long is because the nba gives it tens of millions of dollars a year to play to smaller crowds than high school basketball teams.
If it were an endeavor run by men it would have flopped a long time ago because no one would pump tens of millions of dollars into it for decades and have it never make money.
Remeber all the failed football leagues? No one propped them up this long. Real businesses get sponsors and start small, and grow because they attract fans. Decades and the womes leagues cannot do it. On top of it their entitlement mentality is so massive they think they should earn nba salaries.
White people don’t have civil rights.
Clark should just drop out and go to that 3 on 3 league that she was offered stupid money for. The W will come crying very quickly.
If you like to watch jump shot contests then the WNBA is for you. I have no interest in it at all.
It is unfortunate to say, but true. Every game when Clark plays is a slightly less brutal version of Cincinnati, on numerous levels.
The WBNA is just a way to give a lot of worthless black women a way to make money. I’m not saying all the black women playing are worthless because they’re not. But a percentage of them fit that description to a tee. They’d be mixed up with lots of bad stuff if they couldn’t play ball.
I don’t care if that sounds bigoted because there’s a lot of truth to it. No one should be too surprised that a talented white girl is getting abused by a certain type of players.
Whether it is her college videos, or with the WNBA, I just love watching her get nothing but net from waaaay downtown!
Is Caitlin Clark good enough to play in the NBA?
Clark is targeted and hated by the other players because blacks see basketball as THEIR game and resent that a WHITE girl is better at it than they are and receives most of the attention. How dare this white interloper take what belongs to them.
Having watched a number of games, I’m aware that the officials are generally awful, and the players have no qualms about taking personal grudges against each other on the court.
Well, she SAYS it is so it must be.
What BS. If a Serena Williams-esque player came on the scene like Clark with the same level of talent you'd welcome her. Look at your own racism, cupcake.
How many Ukrainians and Syrians have been killed for the sake of that league’s top alleged woman?
Perhaps I can help everyone out on this thread. Full disclosure I’m OK I became a fan after watching Caitlin Clark in college. Because of that I watch more than just that now so I can say without reservation that this is not about race.
Allow me to explain...
First, I’ll rattle off a few names for you that probably won’t ring a bell: Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, Breanna Stewart, Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron, Cameron Brink, Kate Martin, Sophie Cunningham, Marina Mabrey - just to name a few.
These are some of the other ‘stars’ of this league worthy of mention. All are white, a couple of rookies, and there’s at least 3 straight ones in that bunch. The above mentioned females DO NOT get the same treatment as C.C. BTW, in that list there’s one in the lead for league MVP, and another shoe-in for Rookie of the Year.
If you many most of these women in public, you would not identify them. Ms. Clark has 24/7, Taylor Swift level security.
I believe the reason more than anything else, is ENVY. Sure, the black girls are gonna hate. But then again, there’s enough hatred between the black women to go around anyway.
Many of the WNBA players have then own social media pages. Some even have podcasts to boost their own image. Ms. Clark has none, yet is the most popular player, and there really isn’t a close second (although her teammate, Ms. Cunningham is catching up real fast). She had earned more in just endorsements than some teams’ entire payroll. Where ever the Indiana Fever goes, at least half the fans are their to see her - EVEN if she’s not playing.
Despite the claim of ‘white privilege’, she’s gotten anything but that since entering the league. In fact, some of her most brutal assaults this year has come from white women; notably Ms. Mabrey and her cohort, Jacy Sheldon (both white). I hear the ‘white privilege’ comment mentioned often here at FR. But when she is healthy and on the court, she literally embarrasses many of these so called black women (who think they actually run this league).
She is not them. Doesn’t hang in the same circles, avoids the online controversies, and when healthy, guarantees and extra 10 points toward victory and is a master at assists. When she brings the ball up, she gets double covered from the half court line - because they have to. She is so popular, teams move their games to larger arenas when her teams comes to town.
Last year, she made a simple request, which caused the league to fly everyone private instead of commercial. In less than 2 years, she has elevated the popularity of the sport to an international level.
All in spite of the absolutely disgusting behavior of both the league management and the players (both on and off the court). I think the other reason she is so hated in the league is because she is showing the nation how bad (and sick) some of these women really are.
One more thing, despite all the controversy and attacks against Caitlin’s entire team, they are currently the hottest team in ‘The W’. The unspoken word is that the Indiana Fever are ‘the adults in the room’ of spoiled brat little girls.
Yeah, I still watch the WNBA. Because like it or not, it’s less boring than major league baseball.
