    The nearly double viewership is due to Caitlin Clark. She can be anywhere on this list but she’s driving this. Nobody excited to watch angel Reese play

    So is the sudden deal to have the teams fly on the NBA’s charter system. FACTS!

    People showed up in droves to watch slaves get hung, too.

    And I'm not sure how any of that is relevant to what I posted.

    Everybody on that list is good. There was no dig against anybody.

    Her opponents treat her the way she treats her opponents. It's pretty simple.

    Hard disagree. She could clown on these whiny scrubs because she’s making good money but she’s nothing but class. Where has she been disrespectful to them? They’re mad because they will never be as popular or successful as her.

    Dude, she's constantly flopping and trying to start shit.

    If a player does that to me I'm going to get my money's worth. They WILL get fouled. And hard.

    She's the opposite of classy on the floor.

    *Edit* And that's fine, to a point. But then don't turn around and whine because you can't handle the heat (her fans).

    Not nearly enough to move the needle with TV ratings. Viewership going up 170% is only going to happen if a major star enters the league. Massive amounts of people. And massive amounts dont usually like to watch rebounding.

    This is the official WNBA thread. Where else am I supposed to post it?

    Or do I have to just wait for the mystical time when Caitlin Clark fans aren't whining?

    Do they? She's without a doubt the most hated player in the league by sports fans. She gets roasted on social media far more than any other player.

    I agree. Her fans don't move the needle.

    Dude you complain about her ALL the time. To try to call out her fans for whining is laughably pathetic.
    Did she hurt you? Deny an autograph? Spit on your kids? It's gotten a little weird, honestly. My initial assumption was just you're a ducks homer mad she gets more press than Sabrina, but it seems like more

    I push back about her (fans) whining. That's it. She's a fine basketball player.

    If her fans would stop bitching I'd probably rarely talk about her.

    I challenge you to find me bringing her up without being in response to her fans bitching. You can't do it. Because I simply don't care about her as anything more than another player.

    She does have the ability to keep herself in the news and keeps herself known.

    Not that way or with the same kind of whiny attitude.

    And you can tell it's not the same because of the way other people treat her.

    I'm simply saying it's not some weird thing that we shouldn't understand why people are treating her the way they do.

    They treat her the way they do because she treats them like shit as well. It's as simple as that.

    It's not because she's white. It's not because she's good. It's not because she's straight.

    There are plenty of other good straight white basketball players in the WNBA and people don't treat them like that. Because they don't treat other people like shit.
