Coming off an outstanding rookie season in the WNBA, Caitin Clark has been named "Athlete of the Year" by TIME.

In an interview with CNN, Johnson said that all the focus on Clark has taken the spotlight away from other elite players across the league. "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. When asked why Clark was...

Sides coached like a deli worker mixing potato salad. She had no idea what she was doing. ...

There's no doubt that things can get physical in the WNBA, and Caitlin Clark can be the first one to attest to that. In her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, she's hit the floor several times, and some have come as flagrant fouls against the opposing teams.

On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) stated that the Biden administration has been “micromanaging at the political level” when it comes to combating the Houthis and this micromanaging, pinprick strategy is like the strategy that “cost us in Vietnam under the Johnson and Kennedy administration[s].” Host Tom Basile asked, “Whenever I hear [about] a strike from the Houthis, I keep on thinking of Gulliver being pestered by these Lilliputians. Why aren’t we taking these people out and why aren’t the Israelis doing it or why aren’t we doing it...

It’s not hard to understand why Caitlin Clark, the record-setting white ex-NCAA women’s basketball standout, is enjoying attention and endorsements like no WNBA player before her. And, no, it’s not because of (mythical) “white privilege.” It’s just as how Tiger Woods — who brought legions of new fans to golf the way Clark is doing for women’s hoops — was treated like royalty in the late ’90s for being the first dominant “black” (he calls himself “Cablinansian”) golfer.

Clark’s fellow players would rather the WNBA collapse than give her a modicum of credit for bringing attention to the sport.I never thought the day would come when the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) would be newsworthy enough to write about. But in an era where deranged leftists think men can become women and get pregnant, I suppose anything is possible.The story in question centers around an incident that occurred during a Sunday matchup between the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese and Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark. Most Americans are likely familiar with Clark for her dominating performance at the University of...

Later on, following the Fever's practice, she responded to the recent backlash. "It's disappointing. I think everyone in our world deserves the same amount of respect," Clark said. "The women around our league deserve the same amount of respect. People should...
