Caitlin Clark’s Olympic Dream Killed as WNBA Chooses Bigotry over Business

If they were putting college kids on the team like they used to, she should be on there. She is a rookie in the WNBA and they fill the roster with professionals who have earned it through years of playing professionally. People need to let this one go. She will be there in 4 years if she continues to play like she is.
-
They’ve put the #1 picks on the team before in their rookie seasons so it’s not like it’s never happened before. What I don’t understand is why Britney Griner is on the teams. She’s been injured this year, she’s washed up, and before being saved from Russia in one of the worst exchanges every, she acted and talked about in hating the USA.

It was a massive marketing fuckup by the WNBA/USA basketball. Caitlin Clark puts butts in seats and eyeballs on the TV
That said, she hasn’t necessarily earned her stripes at the pro level (though clearly she’s off to an almost Jordan like start) and is a rookie. Tough to kick any of the gals that made it off the team. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if big mouth sandy vag Dianna Turasi got booted but that’s just because she’s an old cunt.
Britney Greiner shouldn’t have made the team mostly because he’s a dude -
It's women's basketball. It isn't real life.
-
why are we talking about the WNBA? It’s unwatchable. The Caitlin craze is virtue signaling. I’m sure Coker has her poster on his ceiling though.

the people who support women’s sports and get mad they are paid less than men are the same people who support trannies in women’s sports.
There is no need to defend it lol. Let the left eat themselves
-
I laughed when the story came out that her millions of fans would be mad about her lack of playing time
Wouldn't that mean you get millions of viewers?
-
Yeah Race, that was a horrible excuse. I found it amazing that no one with the organizing committee re-read that and made an adjustment.
-
There are a lot of things to be worked up about these days. Who's on the women's olympic hoops team is not one of them, nor is the WNBA.
-
HtF do you know the name of anyone affiliated with the WNBA? Other than the dude who FAAFO by smoking pot in Russia and now some white girl who talks shit but delivers getting shit on by the racist, gang banging trash lesbians who play in and or support this BS, who gives a fuck?
-
Kelsey Plumb’s hard body and I had a good chuckle.
-
Ah, but the beauty of the WNBA is that they are a collection of bitter "women" who make less in a season than most male NBA players make per game. Post Clark, so far the WNBA TV ratings are up 350% and they are getting charter flights instead of regular commercial travel. Instead of celebrating Clark, they are insanely jealous and no one does a bitchy catty lady like bitchy catty ladies.

I had hoped the Supersonics would somehow get mentioned in a basketball themed thread here.

this!!

I know multiple straight dudes who normally don't watch the WNBA but they are interested in watching Clark. Personally I'm not, but it is a thing.
-
10 points the other day after the announcement, Jordan like for sure.
-
She's a ball hog volume shooter that whines to the refs constantly.
NBA players that do that aren't even worth your time anymore.
Of course, I think the NBA (through ESPN, etc) is trying as hard as they can to shove all of this down everyone's throat so that the league can at least not be as big of a money pit as it has been since its inception.
-
are you sure they are straight
-
Hardy har har
-
They sound like guys who are kinda done with UW football to be honest.
-
Even conservative media won't shut up about this. Who cares? It's like a hail Mary to get interest up in a boring sport.
-
The bigotry being exposed makes it more important than you perhaps realize
-
It's pretty hilarious to see the hate someone that is finally bringing any kind of relevance to the league is getting from that very league.
-
There's some bigotry, but the media is using it as they always do. I think this is a last ditch attempt to make the WNBA relevant and profitable. I still don't care. I've barely watched the NBA in the past ten years. I'm not going to watch women.
-
Maybe if they all looked and shot like Kelsey Plum they could get ratings like women's tennis. No one, least of all regular women, want to watch a lesbian ima rec league.
-
Straight and uncontroversial white girl from a solid Midwest family isn’t ever going to be popular in a league where angry black lesbians dominate rosters.
-
Why having no fans or viewers is a GOOD thing
-
The crab goes back into the barrel pulled by the other crabs
-
If the WNBA had a lick of sense, they’d put Cameron Brink, Kelsey Plumb and Skylar Diggins in as the Olympic 3 on 3 team and suit them up in volleyball shorts and sports bras.
Beach volleyball type ratings.
Sex sells.
