Any sneaker heads will tell you that the Nike Sabrina 1s are amazing…… and they just released pics of the 2s that come out this fall. Sneaker world is freaking out, they are better than any other mens shoe out there right now. It is pretty cool to see there are about 50 NBA players who wear her shoe in games.

With the surge in attention the W is getting and out of respect to @crandc , I thought it was a good idea to start this. Can’t lie, set the Fever game to record tonight.

Is this professional or like semi-pro?

Please tell me I didn't have to use green font.

Crazy thing is, the NBA completely funds the WNBA right? Goes to show you how much money the NBA is making. Mind boggling. MLS and NWSL are completely separate entities if I’m not mistaken.

Women’s soccer has quite the head start and international play has played a huge role I’m pretty sure?

Edit- ooops you mean women are allowed to play soccer also?
 
The new Bay Area team has a name. Valkyries. That will take some getting used to. But at least I know what music will be played at games.

If you saw Apocalypse Now you have heard Ride of the Valkyries.

What an awesome name for a women's sports team. Especially with the music. I'm truly surprised it hasn't been used before.
 
Clearly Clark has some nerves. But also games biggest stars warned there is a jump from college to pros. Makes sense only best college players make pros. And in college women go four years with same teammates.

She'll be fine.
 
Damien Lillard had high praise for Kate Martin, former Iowa player taken in second round by Las Vegas.
 
Clark (no e) had her best game ad a pro but Fever still lost. Rumor coach on the hot seat.

Veterans are correct, there is a learning curve. Angel Reese had a bad first game. Cameron Brink got 8 rebounds but shot poorly. Los Angeles with two top picks isn't winning. Camila Cardoso has a shoulder injury.
 
Sellout crowd of 19,000 in LA as LA vs Indiana featured three of the top four draft picks. Cameron Brink had a double double for Sparks but Fever came back from 11 point halftime deficit for first victory. (Last two losses by combined six points so they are getting together.) Caitlin Clark with near triple double and two fourth quarter shots from next zip code.
 
Indiana edged Chicago in battle of top rookies. 6'7" Brazilian Camila Cardoso made her debut after missing start of season with shoulder injury. Sellout crowd. In five home games, Indiana has drawn more fans total than in all 20 home games last year combined.
 
I don't get the hate at all but this young lady has done more for the WNBA's exposure and popularity than most of their greatest players have been able to do. For all right reasons, she's been great for women's basketball.

I believe the hate has much to do with her being white and straight. Coupled with the media attention she has received over the past year, many are simply pissed off or envious and wish to tear her down. She’s really taking a lot of shit and I hope that she stays strong and can prove her critics wrong by her tenacity and poise.

I hate how overdramatic and whiny she is and how much of a flopper. She's a primadonna.

She brings it on herself


Much prefer Sabrina and Paige Bueckers.
 
Caitlin clark has made more people interested in the wnba. Players and coaches should be celebrating her. Someone on her team needs to be an enforcer and make a statement that they can't mess with Clark. For some reason it just feels like the league is jealous of her. If she improves viewership and gets more interest league wide......no need to be jealous.
 
She's been on a pedestal her whole career and people are trying to knock her off. I dont like here overdramatic act & arguing all calls. It's our culture in this country anymore seems to go after one another and then declare victimhood.

Her whole career? She's only been popular for a couple years. In 2020, nobody knew who she was; Paige Bueckers was the golden child. Clark surpassed her (and Reese) because of her talent, not because of people putting her on a pedestal.
