should’ve been a 4pt play
It’s really simple. You gotta ride the waveIts because the WNBA is not operating like a league that actually wants to grow, often it isnt even coming off as a professional league. Legit basketball people, not random fans or twitter trolls, are wondering what the hell is going on over there.
Whether you like her or not, if you want to grow the league it makes no sense to leave CC off that Olympic team. Dont tell me its all about the best players, it isnt and it never has been. Its a popularity contest to grow the league. David Stern knew that, the NBA players knew that, the media knew that, but nobody on the WNBA side knows it. Makes no financial sense whatsoever no matter how you spin it. The only way she got left off is if a bunch of players demanded she not be on the team, and if they did that not only are they morons but the league should have told them to kick rocks. Nobody is tuning in to see Diana Taurasi win a 6th gold medal, nobody.
We gotta stop addressing the extremist when we talk about a fanbase. Those people you talking about aren’t the only ones saying she should have made that team.Everything you said is bullshyt and here’s why .
If the Mystics sell out and people watch only the few games Clarks plays against the and ignore all their other games…. How is that helping grow the league?
Women’s basketball is already more popular overseas which is why WNBA players make 5 and 6 times more money playing outside the country, so the whole notion that Clark needs to play in the Olympics to grow the sport is bullshyt.
The only thing people talk about when describing Clark is money. It’s rarely about actual basketball. Name ONE thing Clark does on the court that she does better than anyone else? What skill does she have that nobody else does that’s revolutionary? And don’t say 3 point shooting because she’s not.
At least in college, her rise to fame happened organically in 2023 during their NCAA run.
But the media and stans have tried to force feed shyt since the day she was drafted.
Everyone automatically thought she was going to come in and pick up where she left off and they can’t get over the fact that they were all wrong so they all pivoted to the marketing card.
Nobody is stopping the media from talking about other players. All be seem to want to do is trash the league, but when you’re constantly calling every other player in the league jealous, haters, ungrateful and unwatchable, how do you expect casual fans to want to watch?
Naw Juju got next and they going to hate on her tooI don't get how the CC supporters expect the game to grow if they shyt on everything that's not CC.
None of the CC stans are begging up Aja, talking about the Liberty or Suns, any of the other rookies, or women on the way like JuJu or Paige, it's only CC. They're not watching other teams games or anything. How does ignoring or criticizing anything non-CC grow the game?
I mean we went through this with MJ fans and Lebron fans. It’s apart of the game. Being that entertaining will have casuals come in fukking up the discussions.I disagree, once they find out she not playing which she wont, those fans wont watch or will tune out or will harass every one else on the team and shyt on them.
The majority of them dont give a fukk about nothing but Caitlyn Clark. Check any comment section. He fan base is extremely toxic and they're not fans of the sport of basketball or the WNBA
They're fans of Caitlyn Clark
