    Honestly no knocking Caitlyn Clark at all. The lady can play no question.
    I hope she instills another generation of ladies to ba as good. Probably the only way to do that is to have her the biggest headline.
    I have a 3 year old girl I’m raising as a daughter and maybe she will enjoy playing and watching some day.

    This is exactly what's going on. And when people say they don't care or that it's going too far they are labeled "haters".

    Most people are sheep and they want to follow the pack. They don't like different things unless they think everyone else likes it.

    So that's where the money is.

    Let's be real though. Scoot would destroy her 1v1.

    You think it would be close until you actually watch an elite man play against an elite woman. It's not close. The difference in strength and athleticism is just far too much to deal with.

    She might beat him in a shooting contest though. She would probably even be favored.

    I was making fun of the asshat on here who claims everyday we should have drafter everybody else BUT Scoot. Of course she couldn’t hang with these guys.

    Right. He's popular so the sheep slurp it up and label anybody who doesn't a "hater".

    Lol, I know. I liked the post. Simply keeping it grounded is all.

    Yes, but everybody else tries to ignore those asshats. Just saying the same things as trolls annoy the rest of us FAMS!

    He’s popular because he’s arguably the best player to ever play the game. I think you call people acknowledging this as “slurping it up”?

    Not acknowledging greatness is how some become haters.

    Expansion Valkyries won first game, against 2-0 Washington. Collection of castoffs, rookies and role players are not planning on being a punch line.

    A punch line? Who do they think they are, the Chicago Sky?

    Expansion teams are often a joke.

    Angel Reese…

    Ego: She thinks she’s Hakeem

    Talent Reality: She’s Anthony Bennett/Cliff Alexander

    Bennett actually has a better career 2pt fg% and 3pt fg% than Reese. How is it even possible that she thinks people are tuning in to see her?

    She has to make herself part of the show. Making the claims she does accomplishes that.

    Fun fact. Caitlin Clark is younger than Paige.
