I think the sad part is that Clark has been nothing but gracious and respectful. She hasn’t said one bad word publicly even with the hate she is getting. Mad respect to her
Only genuine ladies (QUEENS) is like this. Much respect to her as well
She isn’t getting any hate that’s super cap
@@jamainesmith9952You are very confused.
Caucasian’s Great Caucasian Hope
@@jamainesmith9952 So Sonny on the view didn't say she is only popular because she is white and pretty? lol. There are WNBA players doing it, people on TV doing it and articles like Jamele Hill's doing it.
Elle, if you passed the collection plate, I’d put my whole purse in it! Caitlin wouldn’t want people to pity her! She’s gotten better and hopefully she and her teammates gel. Elle questioning some of the coach’s decisions toward the end of the game was spot on.
I stand with Clark , she will have a long career and look back in season one as blip
No she won't . We keep forgetting about her and y'all I need a sport hero race of people won't shut up.
All white people stand with her I think everybody sees that now 😂😂😂
THANK YOU!!!! Whew, Elle has spoken nothing but the truth and she expressed many of our frustrations! People do not hate Caitlin!! We HATE the media narratives and hype fixation on her! It is not fair to her or the other players in the league!!
The frustration Elle has about this Caitlin Clark narrative resembles the frustration NBA fans feel about the narrative that WNBA players are underpaid and the NBA should do more to support them. Look at how vets like LeBron, Durant and Kyrie have heaped praise on Anthony Edwards during this "next face of the league" narrative.
Why do the reporters keep asking every WNBA player about her. THEY KEEP this ish going, not the players!
Exactly, ask them about there play.
Because they don't sell tickets.
They do this with every sport in every league 😂
@@fabolousjada5070 yet people aren’t on all major networks saying people are hating while they cram them down our throats
Not sure what the aggression is about. Sounds a little over the top. The silence from the vets is also deafening and yes there is hate from a number of them either passively or actively. Just do a quick search online. But they are all benefiting from her as we speak, the charter planes, the viewerships, the shoe deals….stop ittttt
No one is saying worship her but people are saying there is not much embrace from women in general. Lots of men watch wnba now because of her. that needs to be highlighted and praised by all of them since they are benefiting from it.
And to suggest no one talked about Lebron in that sense when he came into the league is quite literally ridiculous on its head.
Charter planes and shoe deals? So much ignorance from you new CC fans. You are a CC fan not a W fan. Don’t know why u are bringing up men, speak for yourself.
The old saying Women get jealous when someone else gets celebrated.
lol seriously though
Women are competitive
@@oaklandtraphouse jealous
@@spectre8469you’re an idiot
You’re an idiot, as if men aren’t even more vindictive
Rhonda Rousey was the baddest female in the world😂😂, until she met Holly.
This right here! Clarke is not single handedly saving or growing this league. They are 0-5. You notice today, thee is nothing about Clarke or the Fever. They won't go 0 Fer whatever, but they will once again be a basement dweller.
@@benholstein7110 the charity league lost money 27 straoght years. Lost fans 18 of last 20 years. Which non fever game this season has had a record sellout or record revenue....name it.
Your right about rusey rusey.. that's what I call her
Duncan just expressed her true feelings about Caitlin Clark while hating on her surreptitiously.
shes literally proving charles and lebrons point haha
Exactly
What did she say bad about CC?
Because she’s not glazing?
I like Elle but her comparing Lebron coming into the NBA & Caitlin coming into the WNBA are apples to oranges. The NBA was an already established/growing league that was looking for its next superstar after the Jordan era had ended. Caitlin was joining a league that had players flying commercial airplan flights. If you really want to see the WNBA grow, you should be happy that a female basketball player has the popularity that Caitlin Clark has because her popularity will lift the popularity of the other women in the league and grow the WNBA to new heights.
I see dozens of videos reporting on the Caitlin Clark tour but almost nothing on the other WNBA games.
I'll just say this, I know way more female basketball players today than I did 2 years ago. A lot of that has to do with (for me at least) the popularity Caitlin Clark has & me wanting to tune it to see what all the hype was about.
Thanks for speaking the truth Elle ! They may not like it... but it's All facts what you say!!! Great job Elle 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I see you still don’t understand what she said
We all know the WNBA benefits from her but wanting other players to slurp her up because of it is crazy
Caitlin is a rookie. She's supposed to get rookie treatment, regardless of the media spotlight. It's a part of the game that's just going to happen. She shoots too well to go scoreless, but teams are going to make her earn it all seaaon; especially as a PG. That's the double-whammy position because she's gotta run the team based on what her coach wants, but she's also gotta adjust to the pro game with each team she faces. It's not supposed to be easy, and no vet should make it easy. Angel Reese is getting solid numbers, but she's not close to the threat she was at lsu. These are full grown women with years of pro conditioning, strength & experience, but she's holding her own in key moments. Cam Brink has really low numbers, but she's making a defensive impact. You have to be encouraged with Caitlin hitting 3's, Angel on the offensive glass, and Cam's defense. They're going to be ok, despite everyone not named Caitlin being totally ignored by the stupid wnba.
So many Clark haters on espn
Definitely not haters....you may not like their opinion but nothing they said was not factual. DT said she would struggle,has she? But she also said in the same interview she would be fine. Aja points to race playing a role.....now this is AMERICA 🤔race plays a role in everything!!!! That's not a lie. But she also said CC was going to be great.... Let's appreciate it all . The W needs a good rivalry...I'm pulling for Indiana,I want CC and Angel to bring that rivalry to the women's game. I don't want them to like each other on the court.....it's SPORTS!!!
@@samuelmccoy8730people like this chick on this podcast and you twisting the narrative. all chuck and bron said was for wnba players embrace what clark brought ro the league. instead of complaining about not getting charter flights before or enough endorsement. 25 yrs losing money business. main issue is wnba players hate it that its the white girl thats bringing all the money😂😂😂 nobody is saying clark is the best in wnba or give her break on the court. little gratitude of attention seeking chcks getting some attentuon they so desperately wanted. also its not racism. just happened the bext big thing in wnba is white girl and yall lefties cant stand it
If the Fever were even 3-2 right now, you would have a point. Anybody that understands basketball and especially the watered down WNBA version knew what this is....Hype show to try to help the money bleeding WNBA.
It's the same demographic that's doing all the hating too
Truth hurts
I haven’t heard any current players say anything about CC not being a good player. It funny to hear some say that ESPN is trashing her. ESPN is the main reason for her national recognition. It’s just a different level than college and she will adjust and improve.
Diana Taurasi , Lexi Brown , Aja Wilson just to name a few
@@heneedsomemilk4194What did they say? Tell us. Turasi literally said, there would be an adjustment period but she would be fine in the long run.
@BirdLives7 why don't you go watch what they said I just named the few that I've seen speak negatively about her
@@heneedsomemilk4194tell me the direct quote that they said that clark would be a complete bust and wash out the W. Don't worry I'll wait
@baller0724 And you gone keep waiting cause I never said any of what you just said but thx for putting words in my mouth lol if you got time to ask me questions you got time to look it up yourself
Caitlin Clark is the only reason I watch any WNBA.
And?
This comment is a diss to Catlin because she is an embassador to Women sport including Basketball.
Whatever floats your boat. She isnt making a difference, she is a band wagon for white knights to jump on. They are 0-5. Once Bronny and LeBron team up, Noone will care.
Watch WNBA because Angel Reese
Me too
My first time hearing Elle Duncan. And I’m coo. shorty do some research and be realistic. You can feel it in the air.
They delusional if they think they not hating
Can’t be hating when it’s at least 10 players better than CC
Like she said please name names…who is hating?! We’ll wait…
Show us the receipts. Who are the players hating?
Who are they
@shinsukecorbin425 alot more than 10. If your new to the W u can say that. There's atleast 20 plus better.
12:39 I mean the view, Sheryl swoopes, and jemele hill is where…….stop being disingenuous.
Those arent current WNBA players stop
the cap
@@Yooooveeeee she asked what women are saying that, and I pointed out those women, no cap
@@Yooooveeeee Lexie Brown (current WNBA player) blast the contract offer by Ice Cube to Clark on Arenas show, saying it’s disrespectful to the WNBA players already in the league, and may undermine the WNBA as a whole. She tweeted to Cube "So no other women's basketball player has came to mind in the last 7 years?"
Thanks for telling the truth. It took me all of 3 seconds tops to find a compilation video (amongst others) here on CZcams, yet people refuse to acknowledge the hate exists. Especially with Swoops trying to wordjutsu her way to say Clark’s college stats shouldn’t count. Just last night the entire Storms team refused to shake hands with the Fevers after the game and somehow they claim WNBA players don’t shake hands like in college but that was quickly debunked (go check Women Hooping channel). Extremely disingenuous and quite sad, but is to be expected from the current state of ESPN.
@Luciodamus thank you. Found that compilation video TOO.
It’s the Jemel Hill and The View comments over the last week.
Jemel Hill is a fan. People are saying current players are hating and theirs no proof of that.
@@1tonio567hill wrote an article hating on Caitlin
@@theanimerapper6351hating or telling the truth ?
@@theanimerapper6351did you even read it ?
Stay on subject. Talking about her peers. Not The Media.
Yeah they should. Maybe instead of hating her. Don’t act like they aren’t Elle…
They're not
Name a current wnba player who has said anything directly negative towards her that isnt “itll be a tough transition” which for some reason people are painting as hate
I Hate Her But I Hate Her Fans I Swear. I Haven’t Seen One WNBA Do Any Of The Things Y’all Are Claiming. If She’s The Only Reason You Watch Then Good For You Happy Somebody Got You To Watch But Don’t Come On This Side Of Wbb And Make Opinions When You Know Nothing Or No One. You’re Not There Yet If She’s All You Know. Those Women In The League Are Good Hence Why She Not Dropping 40pts & 8 Threes Like She Used To . She’ll Be Great But Y’all Are Pushing Her Too Soon Rn This Not Colleges & Nobody Is Going To Just Let Her Go Score
Exactly, I don't know what world she's in if she can't see all these women are hating on Catlin , I'll never watch her show again,
WHO IS HATING HER!???? Who!??
A lot of pro golfers were huge fans of Tiger Woods with his return to golf. They knew there was more money to be made and some were even “fangirling.” Then you have Sheryl Swoopes literally lying about Caitlin’s age and stats in an interview. Caitlin is actually bringing men over to watch some games. They need to promote her to grow their sport.
Funny you bring that up, go rewatch the Tiger Curtis Strange interview before Tiger's first pro event. He received a lot of the same hostility and skepticism when he was a rookie, he just started winning right out of the gate and silenced his critics. CC is going to have to do the same.
She is not a current player. 10 years out the league. Jemele is not in the league
@@wittenberg5 That’s not the point. We all know she’s the best chance at the sport growing. She should get the support. She’s on a terrible team bc she’s the number one pick. Did Tiger have to worry about his teammates? No one knew he’d help the sport grow.
@@couchie99 You got guys like Lebron promoting her, but I’m not seeing the support as much from the women’s side. If the WNBA wants to profit and have higher salaries, it starts with her. Current players or not, they should be smarter. No one is tuning in for other games like they are tuning in for Clark. I work mostly with women and none of them watch the WNBA. They can’t even name 5 players. I watch though.
@@collectorsquad8222 No that is the point. You rewrote history to say Tiger was getting support from the other pros, which wasn't true when he was a rookie. It was a similar situation, a highly touted college athlete with a big deal from Nike, huge galleries and so on. No one owes her support or anything else, they are fighting for their own legacy. She'll have to go out there and earn it like any other athlete through her performance.
I gotta say, along with the sport itself, the way the world is covering women’s basketball is changing too. What Elle and her colleagues do in this stretch of months, dating back to when the tournament started, may affect who and how it’s about in the future. Don’t pull punches and still speak TTP, but they may wanna be careful.
Yes. Be thankful CC is bringing awarenes and value to the game. Yes, Michael Jordan couldnt take the games popularity to the next level without Magic Bird and Dr J. But once he did players have been getting paid and building empires ever since. Whether its because she is super good or white or white and super good, she brings recognition to the game. Sisters gon paid now. I believe Aja Wilson has already got a shoe deal after CC got a "big" shoe deal. Ratings are up which means more tv contracts, more merch sold more tickets sold which equals more money!
"be thankful for a yt savior" is exactly why every game is so contentious with the fan bases.
deal was already in the works was my understanding.
@@johnnybgoode8104 no just to jealous blk folk
@@clarifennell6248 didn't have the money until now
Bird and magic saved the NBA. No one really elevated the WNBA. Caitlin is basically doing what what Bird and Magic and Jordan are doing lol.
I’m only watching highlights of the WNBA because of Clark. It is the only name I know of in the WNBA…and I’m not even from America!
Caitlin Clark has boys and men watching WNBA game. Shes the goat
The goat she is not but she played a part in this new found success for women's basketball. Candace Parker is the goat. see her resume. Clark hasn't won a thing yet.
Caitlin Clarks Impact on The Women's Game Exceeds Anyone Else By Far Period. Candace Parker Didn't Elevate The Game To This Magnitude. Caitlin Clark Already Has More Money Than Any Female Player Ever. So She's Already Winning More Than They Ever Have.💯
@@BossDogg88go watch ice skating ⛸️⛸️⛸️ I think that's your sport. CC is probably.... probably going to be one of the greatest players ever....but she's definitely not the goat 😂 listen, do us a favor and read a little bit.
it's funny lol
real hoopers respect her game
Gawd I hate casual fans
These girls out here losing their mind over the Caitlin star power. She just went on a 10 minute rant…..hahahahaha
🔥🔥🔥Elle and Gary another fire show!! Yes, brand new Outkast songs!
Wow this is exactly what people are talking about!! Talk about being upset. Her head is about to explode 🤯 🤣🤣
I haven't respected Mina Kimes analysis since she described Jayden Daniels with 40 passing TD's as a running QB but described Drake Maye with 24 passing TD's as a playmaker.
Exactly. I admit, i begin watching the WNBA because of CC and Angel. And I love that she's going through the struggle because it shows just how competitive the game is, and it builds character.
The media has to stop saying that players are "hating" because theirs no evidence of that. And the disrespect Jewell Lloyd received after her 32-point game, from the reporters' questions being about CC, is what creates a toxic league. Her team gets better every game. CC gets better every game. Respect the process because shoe deals and charter flights mean nothing during the game. That being said, I'll be tuning in tonight against the sparks 🙂
I'm not a WNBA fan but feel like Charles Barkley and give Katlyn all the respect and what she has allowed media to finally recognize them!!
what you mean allowed to finally recognize them? youll say anything but refuse to acknowledge they dont get ‘recognized’ because the quality is garbage, you act like the wnba is some undiscovered gem of great skill and quality, you’re delusional lmao
what a ridiculous comment. 🙄 Only thing CC has down is brought annoying non-fans who think they know better than they do to the conversation.
@@worldisfilledb exactly!!
How hard is it to spell her name correctly? It's in the freaking title of the video.
Lebron and Charlie didn’t say nothing wrong
Yes they did.. it's not WNBA players job to worship a rookie.. you can stop lying now.. WNBA players should hold their dignity and not listen to you or any other Caitlin Clark delusional fan base..
What Ellie didn’t talk about the “race” and “sexual orientation” issue!
I respect with Elle had to say. 100%. The other side of the coin is Clark didn't ask for thanks or the media to come to her defense.
Within the first 10 of her speaking, I stop watching, Clark coming into the WNBA is totally different from LeBron first joining. The lack of logic women have is scary.😂😅.
They should thank all that were drafted this year. Not players but the WNBA staff.
I thought i liked Elle, bc shes not like jamelle hill- but i see im wrong!! SHE RANTING ON AND ON
When you're speaking to a woman and she is calls you bruh, thats your que to exit the convo.
CC and the fever no matter what 😁
CC3 for life!
Watching The W growing and seeing excitement in so many cities with really good attendance better TV ratings up against the NBA playoffs the NHL playoffs and Major League baseball it's a really good sign for the future of the league.
😍 The L, excellent demonstration on W,CC,Media, and the other ladies of the W👊🏽
As a new fan of the WNBA, we watch what is happening and see that Caitlin is 90% of the reason people are now watching the WNBA. Sellouts, 2 million plus viewers, jersey sales better than the Dallas Cowboys- it’s all due to Clark. Not the rookie class or the incremental growth of the WNBA. You need to just say you understand that and not try to provide an alternative answer. Because the options other than it’s due to Clark are wrong. And for the new fans, we like Clark’s style of play. The rest of the WNBA is pretty boring. High School boys games are more interesting. But Caitlin shoots like Steph and passes like Magic so we enjoy watching greatness. If Clark leaves so do I and so do millions of fans. It may not be fair but it is the reality that we see. It has nothing to do with race, it’s all about the Logo 3’s and, as Elle said, the Mahomes like dimes she drops on teammates from the other end of the floor. She is amazing! Give her her flowers and thank her for Charter flights.
@11:10 Elle you ask who are these women who are criticizing Caitlin Clark? Well, in a recent LA Times column, Nicole Melton of the University of Massachusetts and podcaster Jemele Hill were quoted as questioning whether Caitlin's race and sexuality factor into Caitlin's popularity. In that same column, WNBA champion A'ja Wilson was quoted as saying that Clark is getting more marketing opportunities because she's white.
Yet you use her name in the title because it gets clicks. Caitlin is ESPNs new cash cow
Caitlin played a full college season, made it to the national championship game, then had 1 month off before starting her WNBA season. Then has played 11 games in 19 days. Jump shooters = tired legs. That’s why her efficiency is down. I think she will kill it next year.
Holy cow people give AJ, KP, even Martin their flowers. The Aces vs Fever 1 win by the way drew a record 333,000 viewers on NBA TV. That's huge. The Aces are back to back champ's after all. Unfortunately Reese"s game on the NBA TV apparently only drew 60,000 or so. Those numbers have to be wrong. Reese, Brink, Martin etc the real draws from the class of 24. Not to mention Reese has far less turnover's then CC does. I just don't get it. I'm sure the math is wrong and will be corrected in the near future.
Elle is crying like she plays in the WNBA. Lady, you cover it. Lots of other issues that call for that type of a response. CC will be fine and haters will still throw shots. Enjoy the play.
You right on a lot Ellen..but have you heard about Jenelle Hill…you read Reese, you listen to Wilson…and DT …look at that video, even Sue bird s face says it all…reality is coming…you look super human when you are playing with 18 yrs old…that is not well she is great, but remember that there is going to be an adjustment period for obvious reasons…which was expected..the way she said it did not sound nice and you and her can try to down play it all you want…it’s does not. Sound disrespectful to CC that Ms Wilson, and Jenelle hill among others, insisted in CC getting all the attention and the sponsorships because of being white…that’s one of the W players, don’t you consider that disrespectful to CC and everything she has worked for as you just said..that’s why people can’t stop the thing…and then some people like LeBron heard of things and got to the party a little bit late..ooh by the way just yesterday morning in abc I think, wherever the view is broadcasted ..the same thing was said….the lady called pretty privilege and white privilege to the reasons why CC is receiving all the attention…and so people react to it…
She just up there gas ⛽ lighting 🕯️ her behind off sounding like a modern woman 🤣🤣🤣
You could see Gary was so close to being “ummm ACTUALLY I can name a few names-“ but didn’t because he values his life. 😂
I find it odd that we don’t hear commentators talking about what puts people in awe of CC. It’s because we want to see her logo 3’s. Yes she’s a baller in other areas too, but those long 3’s are what does it. It’s the big thing that made/makes her stand out. Other players are good yes, but they fail to have a “one thing” that seams supernatural. It’s just like watching a Mike Tyson fight. There’s lots of great fighters, but everyone wanted to see his next big knockout. That was his “one thing” and it made him stand out from the rest. Many athletes have great moments, but not many have a “one thing” consistently like CC’s long 3’s, Steph’s crazy 3’s, MJ’s long dunks and fade aways, Tyson’s KO’s, Birds Shooting/Passing, and Magic’s hook shot.
I stand with you Elle! Thank you.
The point is Jewel Loyd could score 100 points and no one would care.
How about aja touch on it sayin she’s only famous because shes white lol
That's not what she said. She said black women playing at the top of their game are still ignored and don't get the same consideration. I think that black woman's experience is her own.
That’s not what she said
@@0sAndOnes Fack her too. She had a sneaker last year and it bombed. She tells Plum she is good player but her privilege pushes over the top. Tired of these Latoyah's🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably true, along with her game. Last time I checked, America has a 73% white population. So all the attention makes sense. However doesn’t Caitlin success mean success for the entire WNBA.
@@davidenix3039 Nope blame Liberal media for making this new generation of Laquesha and Wuleayah feel like they are best women in the world.
How dare that pale woman from Iowa with a family structure, two parent home, active father ,doesn't go on social media, none social activist be successful.🤣🤣
There's a disconnect from what Elle is interpreting what people are saying. No one is saying to take it easy on Clark. The competition has nothing to do with Clark's game. Her skills bring attention and that attention = $$$. And yes, you should be thankful for that.
I may be wrong, but I think what LeBron and Charles meant was that whoever is considered a Caitlin Clark hater should be thanking her INSTEAD of hating her (I'm not saying they're right or wrong, just what I think they meant)...I don't think they directed those comments at everyone in general but only who they considered haters without saying names...
I don't think they were telling EVERYONE to take the knee...maybe just saying they (haters) should do something good rather than bad...
At least I think they were directing their comments mostly at Sunny Hostin and Angel Reese...who did say/post negatives comments directed at Caitlin Clark...
Best college basketball player of all time??? What? These statements are whats wild when it comes to CC
I think what is needed is for Caitlin Clark to get the same respect that the other Rookies are receiving from players and coaches in the WNBA. She is being used in some kind of culture war narrative. Anyone thinking she isn't is just not seeing or speaking the truth of it. She has done NOTHING to deserve any of this negative speak coming her way off the court. She has said nothing against anyone. She has handled all of this with grace and I and apparently many others respect her for that.
I now know why your show didn't win any awards. First and last time to watch.
Lol you catlin Clark fans are a joke
The WNBA should be thanking her because now maybe they won’t have to ask the NBA for millions of dollars to keep their league afloat for the first time since its inception.
Has Elle have any thoughts on Drake, Kendrick rapping beef. She's a big Drake fan 😢
She looks like Drake
Ellen Duncan is 100% correct.. it is not WNBA players job to worship a WNBA rookie.. heart delusional fan base can do that..
Angel Reese becomes the 3rd player in WNBA History to grab at least 15 offensive rebounds in their first 3 games 👏

If the WNBA wanted CC to be great from the gate they should’ve placed her onto the Aces or Liberty 🗽. I expected her to struggle playing with Indy because they are the worse team in the WNBA.
So you think the Wnba should rig things for Catlin ?
so that wouldn't have been Caitlyn being great, that would have been her joining and probably ruining the dynamics of an already good team. Then yall would've been mad if she didn't start.

I don't get it. They qant the WNBA players to take it easy on there competition (Kaitlin) so she can shine? So if she win that a wonderful for all the other players in the WNBA. How about they just give her a championship and MVP now for nothing.
So many WNBA players are hating on CC. You don’t see it because you don’t follow them on Twitter. You don’t watch all of these post press conferences.

This is pure jealousy towards Catlin Clark it’s so obvious and ESPN refuses to acknowledge it
I think Elle is right...to an extent. You see some negativity from WNBA players, but not much. I don't, however, agree you can just blow off social media as a non-factor. Social media is a place where hate and overall negativity can coalesce and magnify to the point it feels like a social force. It's the reason most popular artists, athletes, and others subject to broad social scrutiny, tend to avoid it. That constant avalanche of negativity eventually takes a toll. Haters are going to hate, and social media gives them a bullhorn. While Elle may rant about it, I do think it's helpful when high profile stars like James and Barkley speak up and at least try to bring the temperature down a bit.
ELLE spoke FACTS!
Big FACTS!
Finally sense in a cess pool.
Absolutely!!! It’s all these other platforms that just want something to talk about!!!
When your team mates don't attempt to come to the ball, that is not a real turnover that Caitlin can help. It would be like a quarterback hitting his receivers in the chest but the receiver drops the ball. That really isn't something that the quarterback can cure.
Elle makes some great points, CC didn’t ask for this level of attention and she wants other players to get credit, i think this craziness will gradually fade a bit, by end of season perhaps, and then we can all just enjoy the bball.
All the people hating on Clark are just jealous, it’s actually pretty sad that adults behave this way.
do you say that about all athletes or just CC?
Pretending no one is hating on Caitlin is a wild take.
Who’s hating on somebody that’s never won anything?? It’s not hate it’s truth
@@shinsukecorbin425 wild take
She’s being naive right now in this clip. Face it, we’ve never really heard a female athlete receive such hate and criticism point blank. She’s just taking it personal and getting defensive like they all do
Funny how these talking heads get so lathered up when Caitlyn just plays basketball and is generally just a good person.
CK is good, but I am still waiting for someone who plays like Michael Jordan. There were Maya Moore, Asia Durr and Te’a Cooper. Maybe, someone like Paige Bueckers can create a rivalry with Caitlin Clark, when she gets drafted. Different styles of play.
This hasn’t aged well. Those girls have definitely been hating on her.
I’ll tell ya what I’d like to see… some sportsmanship.
It's refreshing to hear someone with sense. I agree 💯
Well since you’re highlighting numbers, highlight the numbers that count the most: over 18K in attendance which set a new record. Never done before in Seattle. Talk about that. Sue, Stewie, Lloyd, Lauren Jackson couldn’t do that. THIS is why Caitlin Clark deserves praise/flowers every day! Every game! That’s what you do when THE Goddess is in your presence. Salute her every single time.
Are you seriously comparing Jackson to Clark? LOL. Tell me you're a casual viewer without telling me you're a casual viewer.
@@Ay-ve6io Lauren Jackson NEVER got 18K to attend a game. Now bow down.
Caitlin doesn't deserve any hate, but I have an opinion on Chucks comment.... Has the media overlooked the issue with the Boeing planes? The WNBA switching to private jets for the players has more to do with this current issue of planes potentially exploding and less about Caitlin. 💭🤔 #imo 💯‼️
She ain't Elle Duncan no more That's El Dawg 😂
a fan of the w will be a fan of the w. not because of one hyped up rookie. as a fan we got the right to say and feel what we want unless it's personally attacking her. i know it getting tiresome when i see the game and announcers every 5 seconds praising her like she's only player on the team. and even when somebody else on the team keeps them in the game, they only show her highlights. there are other rookies out here like rickeaa jackson, cameron brink, jacy sheldon, alissa pilli, nika muhl, and aliyah edwards. give everybody a piece of the pie.
This is facts ELLE, men get hated on all the time lol It's a part of the game. We go easier on women naturally.
Certainly Sheryl Swoopes hated on Caitlin Clark on Gilbert Arenas podcast. She said she was 25 years old playing against 18 year olds, that she took 40 shots per game, and the she an extra season to set the all time scoring record (all three of which weren't true). In terms of current WNBA players, I would say they have hated on her, but a lot of them have basically been urging some brakes be applied to the hype train. I am thinking of comments by players like Diane Tarusi and Lexi Brown, but I think lots of players have made comments. And while current WNBA players haven't hated on her, she has got a decent amount of hate from the media and that includes Elle Duncan who is making ad hominem attacks like calling her a "white princess".
And Caitlin is elevating the league in a way even Lebron didn't elevate the NBA. I bought the WNBA league pass this year because of my intrigue with her. She is arguably the greatest women's college player of all time who plays an exciting style of basketball. If she was just a really 6'6 center people wouldn't care about her because that would be boring.
Swoops who is that, who did she play for in college, better yet is she even a pro. Swoops didn’t break the NCAA POINTS RECORD, Clark did, the girl can play ball.
@@davidenix3039Swoops played and WON a Natty at Texas Tech, something clark couldn't do with a better team than Swoops had, Swoops is a 4x WChamp with the Comets, multi time Olympic GOLD MEDALIST. Swoops is GOATED clark WISH she could accomplish half of what Swoops did. Clearly you know nothing about the W
This will happen with all great players that come from college to the NBA they will be criticize Just remember JJ Redick considered the best three point shooter at one time in college in the NBA he was OK
Elle, you lost me on this one. Pretending you don’t read the “deleted” tweet from Angel Reese. But I guess you’ll say you don’t know she was talking about CC because she didn’t actually say her name. Thought you were one of the real ones.
At 0-5, Caitlin and the Fever are on track to secure the number one draft pick next year.
Calm down. No one said to "fawn over her" or "bend the knee" so settle down. If you hate about people giving it so much energy then calm down and make a rational point.
Caitlyn never won a national title. Angel reese did yet she never got invited to shows like 'Good Morning America' Or SNL eventhough she was the next biggest name in college ball. The criticisms of Caitlyn will keep on coming.🙄
Abso freakn lutely! IF it wasn't for CC they're still in the gutter flying economy, and there arent 13 to 18k buying tickets. Yet you have some women players that this just goes over their heads as they go for CCs head lol, not too bright. Theyd better hope nothing happens to her as in a bad injury or theyll be right back where they were in no time. Despite it all CC is always gracious and respectful, carries herself well and it lends to her endorsements. The league just wasnt exciting, miss alot and do layups fine. So there is no dunking, npw you have a player that adds some excitement with her insane shooting and passing. It is what it is.
Elle, I'm pretty sure you won't read this, but here it goes. Look at the comments below. The amount of hate CC gets for her game because her TEAM lost twice in the National Championships. Additionally, from what I've seen, is the referees are favoring the vets over her. She can get mauled, hit in the face/head, she had a bloody lip in game 1 that wasn't called. Additionally, every game she is in she is double teamed 90+ feet even if the other team is up by 20-30+ points. No one in the league is being guarded like this. I'm a new fan to the WNBA like many others. Keep in mind, I grew up an hour from Iowa City. I'll be the first to admit some bias, but these are my observations. That being said, I also feel she'll become a stronger, better player because of it. Iron sharpens iron. BTW, I haven't watched the NBA since the "I'm taking my talents to South Beach". I'm enjoying the fundamental game the women are providing. Keep it up ladies!
Thanking her for what?! The fact that many people are only tuning in because of her speaks to a larger issue. Women been hooping good for a long time. If people never heard of them before Clark that's their problem for being bandwagon fans and social media watchers. Sabrina was hitting 3's long before Clark. Candace Parker was winning college titles, MVP's and WNBA titles long before Clark came along. Sue Bird was doing her thing long before Clark. This narrative is why she has a target on her back and many tuning in to watch her lose, real fans are sick of it. Kobe brought tons of attention to the WNBA when he took his daughters to games. Giving all the credit to Clark is nonsense. This has been brewing for years now.
Keep dreaming viewer numbers don't lie. So you just wrote crap.
@@stephenwilliams4583 and you wrote cope. The game was growing before she came along, she helped of course but to give her all the credit is wild. The NBA has been pushing the WNBA for years now, players like Kobe years ago brought attention to it, he was going to all of the games with his daughters, promoting it, he had a girls team also, trying to grow the sport. Candace works for TNT sports as an analyst bringing attention. She just retired, She has championships, MVP's, and gold medals, Sabrina shot 3's vs Curry in the last all star game, giving more attention to the WNBA. It's not just Clark. Giving Clark all the credit is the reason many are criticizing her, the casuals and media put a target on her back. She helped fill arenas but she isn't the best and this growth has been in the works for years now, she gave it a much needed push but to credit no one else is disrespect.
She never seen other basketball players talk about MJ..they all fangirled him too
Jimmy The Greek Was Less Racist And Got FIRED
Her team 0-5 what would you thank her for
I would thank her after every game for the W if I was on the other team.
Have you watched the games at all, how is CC have a turnover if AB, or her other team mates can’t catch.. that ain’t on CC..
I'm so f***king sorry you don't know sh** about basketball..
But that's how turnovers WORK.....
If u throw a pass that your teammates can't catch.
Even if it's a great looking pass...
It's Your turnover !!!
Lebron as a rookie didn't move the needle like Clark is doing for her sport. It's different
All she has to do is replay her statements and listen to how bitter she sounds! In all of her statements she never mentions that Caitlin has been nothing but graceful in all of this
She's not bitter she wants them to stop acting like it's different because they are girls(woman). CC probably wants the same thing she doesn't do beauty pageants she plays sports!!!
