I don't know, man.

Most people don't know who Cooper Flagg is. He's not a male Caitlin Clark, in that he drives real interest.

I saw Bill Simmons say this the other day that Caitlin Clark is more famous than any men's American basketball player under 30 & I think he's right.

I actually think the same might be true for Angel Reese as well

Nobody cares about young American mens players anymore.

The WNBA is the new NBA.

I think Juju Watkins & the white girl Paige are probably more famous than Cooper Flagg is.
A big part of Caitlin Clark popularity is maga shyt. If she was openly lesbian or vocally liberal she would not be as big as she is

Hmmmm. That's true about the women moving the needle more than the men. That's crazy to think about.

And don't forget, for cheaper :francis:

The MLB down in the Latin American countries where they can pay the players in chicken bones, lie about their ages, and do God knows what without any scrutiny or oversight.

But once they come to the league they have to pay them the same, tho. Either way ...



Either way, Every dollar they save counts ...

and they know the psychology of getting these guys to sign deals early that would undercut their true value.

Ronald Acuña had a nice spark and his team locked him up with a $100 million dollar extension. Somebody who grew up HUNGRY is gonna jump on it and not wait years later to hit the open market.



and now, as expected, he's underpaid compared to his production





There is also the chance of these dudes taking advance loans with firms offering them cash for a cut of all their future earnings, like Tatis did.



Imagine giving some young kid from Latin America six figures cash and years later you get a 10 percent cut on a 9 figure contract. Easy "investment".

A big part of Caitlin Clark popularity is maga shyt. If she was openly lesbian or vocally liberal she would not be as big as she is

I mean she already came out in support of Harris with a huge IG post, and is openly in support of LGBT :mjlol:

Yall gotta come up with different narratives, or at least explain why these other straight white girls don't even have a tenth of a juice she does

So what??

Like I was tellin' my homie, the WNBA could use any popularity it can get.

Caitlin's not even MAGA, but so what if the people who like her are???

More than 1/2 of the country voted for Trump. If that translates to money for the WNBA, that's real $$$$

Plus, they can use that to make stars out of other women like Reese, or Juju & Paige when they come up.

:russ: Caitlyn Clark LIKED an IG post that Taylor Swift posted where she endorsed Kamala and them folks was all up in her shyt the next day asking if it was an endorsement. She couldn’t even say yes when asked if it was an endorsement because she know damn well who a good chunk of her fanbase is and has to tread lightly.
