Because they insist on adding Reese to the equation even tho she’s ass. They just can’t allow a white girl to be the face of the league

I haven’t been following her rise in the WNBA much other than the occasional bit of her rivalry with Reese – what have they fucked up so much about Clark that has warranted this response from Chuck?
Lorjack
Is there a quick run down of the CC saga? Why is she so controversial?
BillowingPillows
Agree with Chuck. Not putting Clark on the Olympic team was a huge miss. They bitch about money and then don’t do anything smart to make themselves more money. Its hilarious

Wnba is always begging to be paid more and to get more attention.
The golden goose comes along and they want to murder it.
-Dead-Eye-Duncan-
No idea why they made it a race thing and got all jealous.
Zion didn’t play a single NBA game and got a bigger shoe deal than (effectively) every other active and non active player.
Previous accolades in the WNBA mean nothing if they aren’t making money.
torontoballer2000
The negativity has driven the media content. Clark’s lack of assimilation is making people root for her. The fever games are being watched.
Those body checks last game. Money in the bank.

preach, chuck.

He’s not wrong.
The woman are jealous of CC.
What was the stat that came out the other day, something like 20% of all Flagrant Fouls this year have been committed against CC.
They’re biting the hand that feeds, but they don’t care because nobody wants to see a woman dragged down more than other women that are afraid of someone taking their spot.

Meanwhile Shaq just called Rudy Gobert the worst player of all time. Ladies started catching up so the fellas had to step up their game.

The Reese v Clark debate is legit no joke like saying zubac is on same level or better than Jokic. Sure zubac is decent in some areas but it’s obvious Clark is just insanely beyond better than Reese and A LOT of players and it’s insane nobody wants to give that to her the Jokic v zubac might be making it closer it’s actually a bigger gap than that

Chuck is right though. It’s short sighted hating by people who don’t realize (or dont want to) that this one person is going to likely bring everyone in the WNBA more money and exposure in the long run. Instead they’re mad it’s not them, so they’re being petty and lashing out.

At the end of the day, she can retire early and be 100x wealthier than the players that are giving her grief, so at least she’ll be the last one laughing.

Hack a Clark, except it’s hatred instead of tactical decision

Yeah I don’t buy into many sexist tropes or stereotypes; but women are never beating the biggest hater charges. It’s comical. It’s across the board, women not supporting women. Men will be blamed, and fuck, maybe we should be I don’t know. who else is gonna make it right? We gotta buy all the WNBA tickets?
anupsidedownpotato
I’ve been seeing montages of CC just getting absolutely blatantly flagrant fouled and like no calls and then she goes and breaks their ankles and drains a step back three. Literally injecting ice into my veins.
Personally not sure why they would hate her besides jealousy. She’s the only reason I tuned into that college tournament. She brings A LOT of exposure. And it’s embarrassing to see the other players cope and say “they’re here for me too not just her” like maybe the die hard fans but anyone new is coming for CC let’s be real
Whoknowsthesedays
its extremely weird how jealous a lot of the WNBA vets/media/legacy players are of Caitlin. I cant remember this shit ever happening in any sport other than the WNBA. Mahomes (not a rookie when he balled but first year playing), Lebron, Trout, Crosby never faced this type of backlash and hate for being great potentially generational players in their respective sports. Its so strange to me.
Caninetrainer
Imagine if they had actually had open arms for Caitlin Clark and were thankful and rejoicing at the exposure she brought to the WNBA as well as a big win for women everywhere that she is finally getting offered that much money and paving the way for women behind her which helps women everywhere, really…

Tell it to Andraya Carter who could not understand why Caitlyn Clark should be on the Olympic team. It didn’t click with her that the NBA pays the WNBA tens of millions every year to stay a float. The WNBA is a PR move for the NBA and these WNBA players don’t get that they should be trying to expand their global reach so they can one day make revenue.

Every time I see this conversation start up I wonder if anyone has ever sat the WNBA rank and file down to tell them the story of how Tiger Woods made every half decent golfer in the PGA a millionaire. It feels like a very similar situation to me.
RudeRick
I’ve watched more WNBA in the past few months than in the past couple of decades because of Caitlyn Clark. I can’t imagine that I’m alone.

It’s so weird.
It’s interesting to see the difference. In the NBA, when a generational talent emerges, the entire league gets excited to play against them. Players rave about the opportunity and can’t wait to compete. Look at Wemby—everyone have welcomed him with open arms.
But in the WNBA, it’s almost the opposite. When Caitlyn Clark shows up, other players treat her as a threat to their place in the league. Every night, they go all out, determined to put her in her place and show who’s boss.
The NBA is a brotherhood.
-Boston-Terrier-
The whole CC saga is nothing short of a master class on what **NOT** to do when you finally get your moment. For years the WNBA did whatever it could to get attention, attendance, and respect then, when they finally get all three, they just shit all over it.
Ok_Recognition_6727
The WNBA will be forever known as The Queens of Petty.
xbuzzlightyearz
I’m honestly, so fearful that some opposing player is going to try to Nancy Kerrigan her because of how jealous they are.
MoooonRiverrrr
Jealousy is a ugly mf
background_action92
I love watching Caitlin highlights after work. But yeah, some of the players and pundits(Sheryl shoopes) need to relax with they hating aah. Me, a guy from Nicaragua, is invested in the Wnba cuz of a potential michael jordanesque trajectory for a player
JuggernautOk3707
I can understand some of the pushback, but when I think of stuff like the hating from Swoopes or the UConn coach, it really makes me wonder if the world of women’s basketball isn’t just filled with unhappy, nasty people.
apollontrex
The difference in how NBA players greeted Victor Wembanyama and how WNBA greeted Caitlin Clark is ridiculous.
Wemby: omg we are in trouble !! Never seen anything like this !!!
Caitlin Clark: huh what does she bring to the WNBA lol ?
irteris
Imagine being mad at Jordan for transforming the league into a money making machine. These wnba players are a special kind of stupid
the_spinetingler
WNBA: we want more eyeballs and higher pay
CC exists
WNBA: No, not like that!
Overall_Cycle_715
Bitch mentality in a collective effort. They have bitten the hand that will feed them. Go figure.
gandaalf
It really is ridiculous how out of touch some of these WNBA players are. You have a, literal, once in a lifetime icon coming in as a rookie and so many current and former players are shunning her.
These are the same women who routinely cry that they make like $80k a year because nobody has really previously cared. Clark can so easily change that. The idiocy is baffling.
TowerOfPowerWow
Leaving CC off the olympic team was one of the biggest PR blunders Ive ever seen from a business. It was such a lay up too. We need a meme of the guy (wnba players) sticking a stick in his own spokes and saying “stupid racist people keeping us from getting paid”
Monkeyboi8
They fucked up in that they look like haters, but Caitlin is too fucking good to get fucked up. Caitlin is tearing up the WNBA right now. The ratings are way up as is attendance and the Fever could make a real playoff run.
