- Some of y'all need to SHUT THE H*LL UP about WNBA rookie, Caitlin Clark.
Now that the WNBA will transport teams via charters, some folks are losing their minds and making some outrageous arguments.
The league announced on Thursday, "The Women’s National Basketball Association will provide a full-time charter flight program for all its teams, starting this upcoming season,"
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of a full charter program as soon as practical for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, a testament to the continued growth of the WNBA,” league commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a release. “We have been hard at work to transform the business and build a sustainable economic model to support charter flights for the long term."

The WNBA has never marketed women’s basketball very well..
And that’s why they cannot pay higher salaries
There was not much to see, no knock to the female athletes but there was no super stars, great rivalries, plus wasn't marketed well.
Hard to market tradh
Well, their chance has come again, they better not blow it.
WNBA is owned by the NBA so it actually falls on the men's league owners!
They HATED Tiger Woods. It took years for alot of the white golfers to respect him bra.
The thing about it was that white America was putting down angel by unnecessary name calling and white america was not talking about clark until the last two years of her college career plus the media bliws up a lot of mess.
Go look at ALL of the racist and despicable comments by blks about Caitlin, then we can talk
Roland lost this argument to his panel. two things can be true.
Social media is the difference now. These young ladies are coming in with brands, already made that are bigger than the WNBA itself.
Tiger Woods was also young and got the younger generation into golf. Before Tiger's star power, golf was just an old, rich, white man's sport.
Totally agree with you. Anything that brings eyeballs to the screen and does so in a positive manner, support it. I sure hope these women in the WNBA don't blow this opportunity.
FACTS
@@jmerced but the women playing in the league dont have the power to negotiate media, marketing and endorsement contracts! The owners do and the primary owner of the WNBA is the NBA!
Exactly. Plus it was not the norm to see a black or biracial man play professional golf. So his youth, race, along with his super talent played a HUGE part in getting folks (50 of age and under) to tune in to pro golf on a weekly basis. This is the same thing with Caitlin. The fact that she is a white young woman that stands out through her skills in the midst of a majority black dominating league, brings in viewers and money regardless of folks hating.
Facts. Young people of color got into golf because of Tiger Woods.
Caitlin Clark didn’t win the championship but guess who did?
It’s not about that jackass
So Roland Martin don’t want Angel Reese to blow up. Crazy
Jordan Spieth a white Texas golfer spoke up about how Tiger Woods helped grow Golf.
When Tiger started, White people hated him and his overnight blk fans...
The Panel is correct 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Well hell..... I'm actually agreeing with Roland 100% on this!! If it takes this one woman to build the brand and get everyone paid, then hell yeah
The women on the panel is right and Roland don’t like it. We see you Roland 😂. We’re not talking about Larry Bird right now we talking about what’s going on now.
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
I guess Roland forgot about Dr J
I'm a huge Dr. J fan and even he could not get NBA games off tape delay. Bird and Magic saved the NBA. I hated Bird back then but that made me watch the Celtics because I wanted to see them lose. ML Carr waving that darn towel made me wanted to shove it down his throat. Hatred for a team makes games more fun to watch. I really miss the 80s and those NBA playoffs.
Roland also faik to realize there was no cable tv until late 80s and 90s.
@@nursemcfarlane6655 There was cable tv before the 80's. I watched the Atlanta Braves on Ted Turner's Super Station back in the 70's. Turner bought the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Hawks and put them both on his Cable Super Station. His cable channel was broadcast across the whole country. That was why the Atlanta Braves had such a huge following and was known as Americas Team. It was at the time the only team many people had access to on tv. I got to watch just about every Atlanta Hawks games because they were on cable.
Roland cuts people off too much.
He really does be wildin' with his overtalking people 😂. I crack up.
Big female energy
Why would you let a dumbass keep saying something that's clearly wrong
His show😂
C@@N babble comes out of Roland's boule lips.
She can hoop? Can she win championships?
This is too easy people. Chicago sky game should’ve been aired on TV. You have two champ on the same team. Two high profile Champions and they aired a game from someone who lost two championships back to back. This is truly not hard for me. It’s more at play than what Roland is saying. I agree with the lady that Roland Martin actually cut off 😂
Spot On!
@@ThePeoplesPastah Spot Off. Angel Reese is a Dennis Rodman / Joakim Noah Hybrid, nobody is turning to watch that consistently
I didn't watch women's ncaa tournament because Catlin Clark,I watched because of Angle Reese and South Carolina.
Me too.
I watched for both.
Right
Roland you are just like the other negroes happy for Caitlin. The problem is, everything happening now should have happened before her
Well, congrats, you were all in the minority. Most people watched it because of Caitlin.
To the black people that complain about Catlin Clark did any of these people support the WNBA when the black players that were good but in the end all players will benefit
For your information, Black Folks have been supporting White Players long before Whites were doing the same.
@@natureredux1957 That is not what he asked. You are deflecting. His question was where was your care for these woman before last month? WNBA was not a thought on majority of peoples mind before CC was a thing.
@@natureredux1957Do you really believe that 🤔
@@andrewmatzo8167 Do you understand what the Black Tax is.
@@SteliosKantosYou mean Angel Reese
She is right Roland wouldn't let her talk
Does he ever let anyone talk unless you agree with him? I don't necessarily agree with the lady, but how can you be right all the time? I used to watch him (all the time) but he's always all over the guests, and for me, it's gotten stale.
She is wrong. She sounds like the rest of the haters out here. Caitlin didn't stand out just because she is white, she stood out because she could hit those logo threes consistently. That is what caught my attention and her slick passing game kept me watching.
Keli you’re right, keep your head up!!
Rolland is right! About so so many things, and this is just one out of many, keep it up my dear brother But I got to say this; none of us can possibly please all of us, and yes! Your Show, I will continue to support it 💯 but he do be pissing me off! By cutting other people off when they’re making valid points, Sounding like Porky 🐷 the gad Dammit Pig! 😂 I just know that theirs other people thinks this as well 😊but again keep up the good work! Real talk 😂just saying 🤷🏿♂️
She is complete wrong. CC is the best NCAA basketball player we have ever seeing; I do not say that, her numbers and records say so. No other player moved the NCAA like CC did.
Roland Martin is looking and sounding like a person who is going after the dollar by saying the things that he is saying and not speaking truth to how unfair this is. You have two championship players on the Chicago sky team, and their game was not even aired 😂. Come on Roland. Roland must be chasing the money which is a sign of weakness.
Finally, someone other than me SEE THIS. The unfortunate TRUTH!
So true,, guys we have to focus on the big picture. Caitlyn and Reese is just the beginning. We have to support both!!!!
Roland is right it's business
He's totally right, we wanna keep making everything a black issue because she is White.
Kelly heated. Lol
@@adriantufts945 She always heated when the focal point isn't a BW
Numbers don't lie!!!
So was slavery. So you support that too?
WNBA definitely have more eyes on them this year
Because of Angel Reese.
Not true at all, remember this same buzz happened around Maya Moore and Brittney G, no 1 person gonna save WNBA!!
@@user-qd9ii7br7tExactly! Because the fact of the matter is MEN are not interested if they can't get a rise out of it. The male audience is increasing because of Angel!💯
Nobody saying Carlin shouldn’t be in the WNBA news , but she shouldn’t dominate the WNBA news .
Angel Reese is just as exciting to view and she looks good. Angel plays offense and defense.
Angel can’t even shoot a consistent jumper. Catlin shooting from the logo.
@@phillipmalvo4337 that’s all she does is shoot , no Defense . You need to play both ends of court
@@patriciarobinson7579 she’s the female version of Steph Curry. Fans love the deep 3’s.
Exactly.
You better SAY THAT!
It’s not about Catlin!! It’s about SLIMMY racists in sports and SLIMMY FANS. NO ONE HATES CATLIN.
Exactly. They’re pushing someone who hasn’t won a championship. Make that make sense.
I agree with that.
@@user-qd9ii7br7t What does a championship has to do with anything? The NBA pushed Kobe and LeBron right out of high school. Its talent and drawing power that matters
Both can be true. There are some disgusting racist fans - no doubt. But there is crazy hate for Caitlin. The championship comment here is a minor example - it gets way worse than that. And she doesn’t do a thing but speak up for the league and those that came before her and paved the way. She’s so unproblematic that this dude turned a court storming into her deliberately trying to injure herself by running into a fan. Lame.
Facts!!!!
I'm sooooo tired of hearing about Catlin like she's new to this. Our Black Women have always been there and True to this!!!
Some pple r new to this though. It's plenty of pple who started watching woman's basketball cause of Caitlyn. So the hype is deserved
No player plays like she does. So what if other players were there. Why yall wasnt spnding bread on those tickets to support black players? All the whining going on but nobody buying tickets. Smdh
And we are still outnumbered by white people. So your point is what?
GLesbihonest:. No one ever said that black women haven't always been there. They have been there and the WBNA was still not making money nor paying big salaries. They should thank their lucky stars the league has gain some traction because of Caitlin.
@@beaujac311white savior complex
Thanks for breaking it down for everyone Roland. I heard of Angel Reese before I knew about Caitlin Clark. I now watch the WNBA because of A.R.
And some of them complaining about Angel got invited to the Meta Gala but still scored 48 points the next night shutting them haters up.
@@KenneJ-bu7rr Because the vast majority of people in this comment section don't watch the WNBA. They just look for something that have a black person involved or is missing black people and start complaining. This woman in the WNBA don't concern almost everyone in here. If she was black, it wouldn't even be a topic, because black woman been getting drafted highly from college since the existence of the WNBA and that wasn't enough to pay attention. Only to complain about money and fame.
@@KenneJ-bu7rr she didn't score 48
Your 😂😂😂 funny but we aren’t stupid
They won by 48 points. She scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals. She played very well. Coach took her out to protect her from unnecessary injury.
Folks keep saying she is an generational player and or a exceptional talent while yet to play ONE regular Season WNBA game nor win any WNBA Championship. Some of these same folks are degrading folks that have Won Championships in College as Well as the WNBA. But Roland wants Black folks to shut the Blank up. Roland some things are more important than just Money Only. Folks that bring up important issues are called every Dirty Word in the Book. Plus what they have been stated is being twisted. Daily.
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
Caitlin Clark did not win the National Championship, yet she is getting the attention that South Carolina girls should be getting!!!!
A little LOUDER, Please! Nothing but the truth!
I strongly agree!
That is BS she singlehandedly took them to two championships in a row! That's a pretty freaking big accomplishment! If she had a few more players that were really good players they may have won one. She couldn't do it all on her own. South Carolina was awesome and deep! They had a full bench of talent, but no one as good as she was. That no championship no GOAT is BS!!!!! The Gamecocks winning and undefeated on the year is undeniably incredible
Jokic is arguably the best player in the world and a champion, but Anthony Edwards has gotten more attention because of his game and personality is more marketable .To just not understand that is incredibly blinkered
Let's not forget, Reese and her team also ran them off the floor the year before. I don't want to hear about her not having a team. They made it to the championship two years straight. It wasn't on her shots alone. Definitely not on her defense because she is a female Chuck Person when it comes to that. The point is, THE BLACK WOMEN THAT SHE COULD NOT BEAT DESERVE THEIR FLOWERS AS WELL! THAT'S ALL.@markbryan2287
Whatever we do there still be people above us that can afford things we ordinary cannot!!!
Renee Marie Harrison can change that mind set of yours.
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom....
@@MarindaEagon I'm mind blown by this and inspired. If you could spill some sugar on how you came about the biweekly returns, I would be glad
$_700k and yet still counting on. Renee Marie Harrison is the kind of person one needs in his or her life to be honest💕💕💕
Wow 😱 I know her too
Miss Renee Marie Harrison is a remarkable individual who has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life. Her unwavering wisdom have been invaluable assets, enriching my journey in countless ways.
You keep talking about money, promotions this is not what we are talking about. That's the problem with most people. It not always about money. You on the wrong thing.
He’s not FBA
Roland you’re wrong on this one bro. These people are putting her above our great players and it has hidden the great talents.
Black women . . . this is your time to really embrace a sports league that features strong Black women doing their thing at the highest level. Of course the media is going to hype up the white girl. The white viewers have heavily watched the games she's played in. So you know what we as Black people need to do? Watch the games featuring the great Black women players.
Support A'ja Wilson, Arike Ogunbowale, Alyssa Thomas, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Jewel Loyd, Jackie Young, Betnaija Laney, Napheesa Collier, Rhyne Howard. Notice that I didn't say Angel Reese, which is the main Black female player that all of the "new" and "casual" fans know. Definitely support Angel. But don't throw ALL of your support to Angel, when there are so many fantastic players in the league. Support ALL of those women by watching the league.
I'm going to add...
SUPPORT THEM WITH YOUR MONEY...
BUY TICKETS AND MERCH
The FEVER has blk players, too....a few who are better (Boston, Smith, Mitchell) than most of those you listed....but I guess they're not YOUR kinda blk, cuz they play with the wht girl you hate.....So much for "support all blk players", huh?......LMFAO.....You people are simply hilarious!
You must accept some players got star power, all the names you listed they all don't have it. Talent yes, star power, no!
Two of the best blk players are on the FEVER...but you didn't mention those. Guess your faux black support has limits, huh?
@@petep5207 This is not about talent, its about star power. Fever averaged 4,000 fans per home game last year. 13,000 in attendance this year's home opening to see Caitlin
Indiana is actually a good place for her to go because we are huge sports fans ‼️ also the fever won a championship with my girl Tamika Catchings.
How soon ppl forget.
She could hoop
The WNBA must promote the team also because if they don’t the Fever fans will leave with Caitlin just as the bulls fans left wit Jordan.
Dam, ROLAND really capping for Caitlin damn. She can hoop but no Championships?
Doesn't Negate the fact that white people with coins are now paying attention.
Did she have the equivalent talent on her team as the other top teams she played against? No she did not and all the experts would agree. She was a very talented player who carried her team to two championship finals. Larry Bird did a similar thing taking Indiana St. to the championship finals.
Dude, cat see the big picture!
Could Iverson, Barkley, Malone, Stockton, McGrady hoop?
@@beaujac311she was too busy Cosplaying Stephen Curry to win a championship lol
Roland does not respect anyone else opinion.
You are just now realizing that
Cause he thinks he’s smarter than everyone else.
@@immovableobject6851 Everyone knows that, he's the smartest person on the planet in his own world.
I see why I unfriended him he's a true hypocrite
No. Roland is wrong on this one. Our humanity over money. Our humanity over marketing. We aren't there yet as a society, but we can always strive for that.
be quiet. go preach that in southside chicongo
@@petep5207 Nope. Imma stay right here and do it.
But you’re complaining that the chick will bring more money.
@kudjoeadkins-battle2502 I'm not talking about money. The WNBA has had excellent players for years. It's debatable if those players were marketed the same as Clark. But they didn't take off in mainstream like she did, and her achievements as a rookie were hyped more than their entire careers. So some people (myself included) see a discrepancy there.
@@Motionedout - the only discrepancy her is that PEOPLE, normal people, want to see CC more than existing or previous WNBA players. Period. Nothing sinister or unhderhanded there. The marketign that results from that is a reaction--to the demand--not a fabrication. Stop looking for racism in literally everything.
As a black man, I see that there are to many other things that we as black people need to be concerned about, such as diabetes, or police brutality. A white female athlete is no real threat.
Diabetes is a genetic or diet condition- a human concern. That's not a black people concern.
I don't think anyone cared that she was white except BW and the men who defend them religiously.
True
Police brutality is lack of complying
Black people killing each other, selling drugs to each other, too attached to materialism, non attachment to education, fatherhood and family, lack of morality and spirituality, and love affair with the democrat party are the problems black people need to be concerned with.
One of your topics was stop talking about Catlin Clark. Why are you giving her flowers?
Because she blows up do not mean that everyone else is going to get paid
1 question... Who faithfully watched WNBA games when all of those legendary Sisters was BALLIN??? Viewership, merchandising and ticket sales brings money to these women athletes. I'm glad they will be paid better, and I don't care who brought forward the change! Everyone who is upset about the Caitlin hype should tune in to WATCH these sisters bring it to her each and every game. BUY their jerseys. GO to the games!!! I'm in Chicago and I honestly have only watched a few Sky games when Candace Parker was here AND SHE'S A HOMETOWN JEWEL! I watched the draft for the 1st time, and I will for damn sure will have both of my daughters at Wintrust Arena to cheer for Angel Reese!!!
Hope to see you there! I'm a season ticket holder for the Chicago Sky. Been watching and $uppprting women's BB since the first league ( WBL) started in the 70s!!
As the panelist said, two things can be true at the same time.
Amen.
And if it is. So what? The Chinese people who supported Yao Ming back in the 2000's were racists too I guess, right?
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
Larry and Magic changed the NBA for sure.
Facts.
This woman is why racism will never end.
To expect racism to end is illusory
People are not looking at the fact that Caitlin likes guys not women as part of her marketability also. It is not just black and white.
Lot of WNBA players, Moms so this is ignorant. Happy Mother's Day btw.
Candace Parker was married to a NBA player and have a child together, but she is now married to WOMAN and still is a NBA Analyst.
The Houston Comets won 4 WNBA championships from 1997-2000
And no one cared then...and no one cares now
@@petep5207you care
Bro RoMart, I love how you keep it 💯 no matter what! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Facts
That wasn't keeping it real!! That's sell out talk!! Y'all tripping!
The Panel is astute in what they are explaining - they are not against Kaitlin but understand the underlining tokens of the psychological underpinnings of what is always in the shadows: money ain’t everything!
The panel also didn't watch the wnba because i don't remember any of these people complaining about the pay and conditions b4 Caitlin clark
Whenever the WNBA don't need to be subsided by the NBA that's when it'll be worth watching.
Feed them the truth Roland!!!! 👍🏾💯I love it, eveybody gets FED!!!!!

Frustrating and disgusting!
He should let them know, up front, that they are to just listen and agree......
Roland why you lying. They were giving Tiger woods all kinds of blues. They were even Tiger-proofing golf courses because of him. They also pitched a fit when Beyonce released a country music album despite the fact she'd bring more recognition and fans to the genre. Black folks weren't even the ones who started the white-black beef over Caitlan. The black players and viewers can voice their discontent with the MSM great white hype antics.
Thank you.
Golf courses are always changing trying to curb the advantages the greats. Golf was just trying to be more competitive to draw in even more viewers. What’s more fun to watch? Tiger winning a close match or the match being over before the final day? It became a race thing when Angel Reese weirdly followed CC around waiving her hand in her face making sure she knew her. Your argument is stupid.
@@jacobevans8263 Devils are always trying to mix truth with a whole lot of lying. It was called TIGER-PROOFING by the whites. Changes to the course layout and expanding them are very expensive. There's your first lie because they aren't constantly evolving. They only changed the courses because Tiger was playing against alot of out-of-shape old white dudes that couldn't drive long. Blues Clue #2 is the fact they named the course changes after him. They weren't changing the courses because all or most of the other players were getting better.
Tiger forced the other golfers to take the sport more seriously. The correct response from the field should've been for the other golfers to step their game up to compete, not change layout so the best guy gets handicapped. You would've been that guy in the 1960s saying the Lew Alcindor rule wasn't racist because "dunking ruins the purity of the sport (wink wink nudge)." The difference is Tiger, Jordan, etc actually earned his recognition and respect by beating the best in his field. Clark hasn't even laced up her shoes yet but they're trying to hail her as the ice queen of the wnba. We see exactly what's going on. Everything else you said after that wasn't even worth debating. Stop trying to gaslight.
Facts Roland. Tired of these so called black people complaining about Caitlin. I give her props for not feeding into this BS just like Larry Bird didn't give a damn.
So Black people can't be concerned about multiple issues?
@@halbleavy9900Who said that?
@@halbleavy9900 that's not even an issue. If she can bring the dollars and eyeballs to the games err body gone eat. Our problem is we don't bring the numbers, votes, dollars and demand what we want.
@@halbleavy9900 - You can barely focus on--much less, resolve--ONE thing-...let alone multiple.
But you are. So why shld she...oh by the way newsflash this isnt college & hey! How many gms hv she played?

She maybe a bust..or just a regular star like everyone else. This anit college or high school...its the school of hard knocks...you gotta prove yourself all over again. Lets wait & see I hope the best for her & alll the other players.
Some people and players can’t see the forest for the trees.
You turning a blind eye Roland, out of all people lam shocked.
🎯
how you clearly don't understand business
Roland's point; racism is cool so long as everyone eats.
That pretty-much sums it up.
Unfortunately, he had ZERO SHAME in saying it.
Where is the racism? Who did what racist act?
You caught that too wow
Its not racism it's exciting to watch. The NBA was boring when it was all white and no one dunking the ball. Blacks mad it fun too watch, it's what Clark is doing. It's fun to watch
Uncle Roland tell them. You are exactly right. The WNBA needs to thank God for Clark & Reese. Now I have a reason to tune in. I didn’t care before.
Why not , I been watching wnba.
What’s annoying is people speaking on the WNBA who’ve never watched until now. All of a sudden everybody has an opinion. Smh. At least in the men’s game and other sports they honor the greats who’ve come before them. That’s not what’s happening here. They’re totally discrediting all of the amazing female basketball players who have graced the basketball court before Caitlin Clark and acting like she’s some kind of unicorn. People’s beef is not with Caitlin, she’s been a class act, their beef is with the media and all of these bandwagon fans who are acting like the women’s game hasn’t always been entertaining. If it wasn’t for the Lisa Leslie’s, Candace Parker’s, and Dawn Staley’s of the world, there would be no Caitlin Clark. Those women deserve more respect than what they’ve been getting. It honestly isn’t even about race, but giving credit where credit is due. Just because the hype around Caitlin Clark’s name is putting more eyes on the WNBA doesn’t mean people shouldn’t point out the obvious biases and privileges that this younger generation is receiving.
Right! Here's another stupid oversite of her blind worshipers they hvnt watch anything either....the league hasnt even played 3real gms yet😅😅😅. One word is the bait for all of this CONTROVERSY sells. My guy Prince.
@@moniquej369 You never watched WNBA before. Sit TF down.
He didn’t highlight Reese at all she created and stirred up the controversy that became a sore spot for many of Catlin’s fans to see her as the villain and to look forward to the rematch and I believe when all the stardust clears Angel will be shining the brightest
It doesn’t make it right. There are BLACK women who deserved these accolades. And to use your platform to say that black people shouldn’t speak on it is absolutely absurd. Oh and the black ball players will benefit regardless to if we speak on the disparities. Just stop with the sensitivity BS. And we are NOT complaining about what management did but what ESPN and the media CHOSE to do.
Those black woman do have those accolades however popularity is not an even playing field. Caitlyn is the most popular of the players regardless of champions or not and it is what it is
Black people are the only folks playing fairly. LMAO Everybody else plays to win.
If CC wasn’t playing against mainly Bw she wouldn’t be marketable, she’d be another Rhonda Rousy
Why complain? CC fans all back her by BUYING jerseys and tickets. Nobody owes anything to any player. You want to support your player, put some money up, and stop acting like anything is wrong with CC. Loudest ones yapping have no interest in putting up some bread to support their favorite player. There is no right and wrong, go put that bread up.
Exactly!!! This segment makes absolutely no sense and extremely off code
Working for those biscuits Roland.
It's so obvious isn't it? He's hoping and praying whyyte media is listening.
Thank you Roland, I don't know why people didn't see that. The first thing I thought about was finally women will get their due, will get paid, and hopefully nobody else will have to go to a hostile country like Brittany Griner in order to make a decent living. It's good that Clark came along otherwise the women's teams would still be treated unfairly.
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
Everybody mad at Clark when really she's coming at the right time when the league can finally invest some money
No one is mad a CC, she is a class act. We are mad at the blatant racism that surrounds and supports her.
I agree as well. This is a blessing to the league
Literally nobody mad at Clark we mad at the media and other people of power that glorify her and her story because shes an all American white girl from Midwest
@@user-wi7tn8xc7z it's NOT

Roland, I respectfully disagree with you to a point. She is getting all of the attention. Even doing the Chicago sky game on WNBA league pass damn near every commercial had Clark in it. I can go on and on. I don’t understand why they are putting her on a pedestal after losing two championship games in a row. Wasn’t it Clark that waved off Raven Johnson in a game? Wasn’t it Clark that threw up the hand and pointed to her ring finger? There is a problem when Angel Reese did the same thing. They are putting her in the spotlight for a reason. It’s been said many times why they are doing it. Even when I make a post about her, my post, not only get deleted, but I get a message pertaining to different things from CZcams. Someone else post the same thing pertaining to Black people or black players and nothing happens. I’m not going to kiss no backside on this. She has been put in the spotlight and I have no idea why after losing two championships back to back.
The Chicago game wasn't aired because of production cost. The wnba have to be careful how they invest their money, especially since they've lost money every year. But that live stream taught them a lesson and they corrected their actions. Next game was aired. This is a business, not a social experiment.
Well said. 👌🏿
Spot On. You get it. Keeping Speaking Truth!!
She's getting the attention because she is the most marketable player in WNBA history. There have been other great talented players in the W, but none of them were anywhere near as marketable as Clark. She sells merch at the speed of light, puts butts in seats, and eyeballs on screens. Giving Caitlin an overwhelming amount of the spotlight is a smart business decision. Everyone needs to leave their personal biases out of it.
Facts.. nothing wrong with that. @@mrpj1390
Stop it Roland, Tiger Woods experienced a lot of racism from other players. The narrative that all the white men were happy to see Tiger Woods is false..
You don’t remember the jokes Fuzzy Zoeller used to tell about Tiger Woods..
Roland would never give the impression that Tiger experienced racism in golf. He was saying that Tiger's talent got everybody paid.
@@beaujac311it did yet so many were will to sacrifice that pay for their racism
@@factthatdude4059 If they did it did not last long because the PGA was sure to take care of the goose who lays the golden eggs.
I didn't like Tiger woods because I don't like golf and I don't want golf taking up too much of my sports center time. But ESPN would go on and on about Tiger Woods and never shut up about him.
Once Tiger started making the money for golf you couldn't say nothing bad about him Zoller who is from my hometown Indianapolis went into the gutter
Roland I totally DISAGREE 💯yours soft peddling to these weird yt people
You’re NOT right on this one learn to be quiet sometimes and listen, it’s how we grow sir
I'm so glad someone other than me GET IT. Thanks for sharing.
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
The white savior complex on the Roland Matin show.
Really, that's what a racist comment sounds like had a white person said that you all would be screaming your head off.
Idgaf, what color anyone is play the dam game. Support each other.
Whinning about the past will not change the future.
Stop the division!!
This WNBA rookie class is pretty exciting so can’t wait until they start showing the full games instead of just highlights because they only will highlight one individual and we all know that it takes an entire team.
CC is.not the only person who was drafted. Why you want to crap on Angel Reese and Karelia Cardoso? So CC is the only one to bring attention to the league? Sorry Roland don’t agree. People broke the internet trying to watch AR and KC. So she didn’t bring attention by herself.
Swoops and Cooper were awesome to watch. Angel Reese brought me back to the WNBA. And I’m not alone.
How did she bring you back to the WNBA?
She just got there last week?
@@chrisglover9700 and now she is back...did you miss that. Doesn't matter if it was yesterday...😅😅😅
@smelly6065 back?? She was never there. She just got drafted.
What you meant was watching back to women's basketball. It's ok to admit you made a mistake on what you meant.
You clearly meant Angel got you Watching woman's basketball and woman's ncaa basketball. You haven't gotten back into watching the WNBA and you know how I know????
There are plenty of players like Angel Reese already in the WNBA. She's a rebounder. What made her game bring you back to the WNBA? She is certainly not as good as Cynthia Cooper or Sheryl Swoops
@@andrewmatzo8167she has more followers than all of them put together.😂 Basketball is entertainment… you can be average and if you have a following you can get paid. You can’t be great and have no following or else no one‘s gonna watch like the last several years. If the players build their personal brands then the overall brand will elevate. These college girls have it down more than the professionals.
They are talking about what they want to on their platforms, just like you talk about what you want to talk about. They don't need your help, sir. People are tired of Participation Trophy Clark. And the Great White Hope mentality surrounding her.
Actually pple r not tired of her she still extremely popular. And I don't see a great white hope mentality around her. She is a good player and pple did gravitate towards her and sometimes that happens .
@@devanshepard9118actually most of us BLACK people are tired of her. Speak for you and your people…… and you can save “I’m black too” lie you’re gonna respond back with
@@HJay-ln3xy um I am black n that's not a lie . Family came from Trinidad actually. What's also not a lie is Caitlyn is the most popular player so yes she gets the most attention. It's plenty of black basketball commenters on CZcams who have have Caitlyn her props so the truth is the truth no matter how much you hate it. Also not every block person has the same opinion
@@devanshepard9118 you’re a TETHER and not a Black American. Topics going on in our community don’t concern you
@@HJay-ln3xy Don't speak for us. Your hatred is yours alone. I watched her play and enjoyed it. I didn't even think of her being some Great White Hope until you sensitive people had to stick your noses in. At the end of the day, you still won't support the WNBA, so you are here just to debate. You have nothing to do with this except for the hatred of skin color. They have a word for that.
He keep cutting people off. Let them make their point and then jump in.
Thank you for taking color out of the WNBA
It was announced earlier that A'ja Wilson just got a shoe deal with Nike.....Thank you Catlin 😅
NOT true. This has been in the works before CC. Know your facts. CC had NOTHING to do with this..
@@shawndellmatthews2647 actually she does
@petercrisp8314 she has nothing to do with Aja Wilson getting a shoe deal. This did not happen overnight. This has been in the works for some time. Believe what you want. You all want to give CC credit for everything.
@@shawndellmatthews2647 then that makesAja a skumbag for stoking racial hate by calling CC's shoe deal "wicked" as in the work of the devil. If she already had ashoe deal, she looks awful now. She manipulated gullible blks into crying racism. You people fall for literally everything.
@@petercrisp8314actually she doesn’t
Look in the stands, who's are the paying fans and who aren't. Should I say more, the nature of the beast in America.
Tiger wood considered his self not black
I usually don't agree with Roland but this time I will agree with him.
FINALLY!!!!!! it's about time someone spoke on this issue. Black Community and citizens have many other pertinent concerns that affect us. Our lives and existence is.
The black community to CAN speak on whatever they please... If you don't like it you can close your ears to it.. this is a free country.. you don't get to dictate to black people what to listen to, or shouldn't listen to..
C@@n Class in session.
Today's topic: Buckdancing.
Why does it always have to be about the bag? How about fairness and integrity?
#1 we are a minority. The majority is always going to have a advantage.
@andrewmatzo8167 CC not only is the representation of the European white community, but her fans or followers also make up the other letters that are not of the LBGTQ community that wasn't warmly welcomed to the WNBA; The C for Christian and Conservative along the H for heterosexual. This group brings allot of resources, money and influence.
Amen thank you! They need the eyes, the money and the attention to finally have a chance to make a profit. What other business loses money for decades and then stops their chance to turn it around. The WNBA is the welfare branch of the NBA. Grow become bigger earn money 💰.
He said it …”two things can be true at the same time.” PERFECT
Way to stand your position ma'am 💪🏿‼️
The WNBA dropped the ball on this across-the-board because they should’ve took note of the last three years of women’s basketball in the NCAA. more and more people have been watching women college basketball then the men. and Marketing, you have to see a trend before it starts and it was right there in their face
Most honest person I have heard anyone talk about Caitlin. Keep it up.
Never watched WNBA preseason game until Caitlyn Clark. She can HOOP like Roland said. Will be watching opening g night game too!!!
Clarke mostly has the viewership of white america
Exactly.
And if you want the money, that's the exact audience you're gonna need first.
@@mrpj1390 actually nah, just 100% sole supporter and financial support!
Caitlin Clark worked very hard to be where she's at and her accomplishment speak for that. Don't belittle her hard work and dedication by referring to the color of her skin as the reason she's getting so much attention. Her game is exciting to watch and folks all over the world are being entertained. Networks and companies are just giving us what we want, games featuring her and merchandise with her number. Stop making this racial...kids are watching!!!
@@troybradley2575 It's actually good business sense. There are far more white people in this country than anyone else. So it makes smart financial sense to go where the numbers are. It's just business at the end of the day.
Yes, me too. You would think she was the only one drafted.
The truth is, there were several star level players that were picked in this year's WNBA Draft. I hope those ladies get a fraction of the attention that Clark is getting.
You clearly didn't watch the video.
It's all business...always
@@bnworeal talk. The point went right over their head.
They have to pump her up though. She is great and in 27 years of its existence, no one really cares about the WNBA. So they hv to pump her up in peoples face that could care less about sports
Imagine if 95% of the NBA players were gay men and only 2 SLAM DUNKS happen all season in the whole league how popular would the NBA be ???….this is the WNBA!!!
Me too I'm tired of hearing about CATLIN CARLK!
She's simply HER... I admire the fact that she doesn't even respond to this fools. She be hooping and minding her own business all the time...
Your are so totally wrong! She feeds right into it!
@@denisebailey3226 no she dosnt lmao
@denisebailey3226 haha. What a hater! If she was black you would have a different opinion of her. You think britney griner is a better wnba spokesperson? Haha
@@denisebailey3226 - You hate on literally EVERY video mentioning CC. Worse still, is that you spew nothing but lies. I have even roasted you on Twitter for your blatant lies. If CC feeds into it, state how. I dare you...Fact is, some of those past legends whom CC has shown great respect, admiration and reverence for, have repaid her by shytting on her in the pettiest of ways. Yet, Caitlin has taken the high road EVERY time and kept it professional. One of her childhood goals was to meet her idol,. Maya Moore. If CC can respect blk athletes, why can't blks like you respect HER ???
THAT is WHY Caitlin has such GLOBAL appeal and marketability. She proves you can be feminine without flashing your breasts. You CAN be competitive without denigrating others to prop yourself up. SHE is the role model the WNBA has sorely lacked for much of its existence. People flock to class and dignity. Caitlin is only TWENTY-TWO years old and is 100 times more mature than 100% of her haters. She has already won at life. She wasraised by 2 parents who instilled class, morals and respect in her. The accolades are just gravy.....so you keep hating with your rotting heart.
@@denisebailey3226 Denise check your mental state of mind 😅
Why do his panel goes on his show!? Roland give them a chance to talk! Then he over talk them, just like Piers Morgan!
Roland didn't wanna hear what they have to say! When he knows his panel is right!
The expression, Rome wasn't built in a day, signifies that great achievements do not take shape overnight. They are the result of continuous efforts, planning and patience. Does Roland even get that.
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
The Detroit Shock is now the Dallas Wings.
They’re trying to find a great white hope they can’t and it’s got them crazy. Just pray for them they’re sick Yeah Angel Reese & team 2023 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You don't even understand the term great white hope. Caitlin is not a great white hope because there has never been a shortage of talented white American players. Why did those great white players never stood out like Caitlin? Why didn't white people get behind them? Caitlin stands out because she brings a talent that hasn't been seen in the women's game the logo three.
Sick? Have you watched the many videos of prgnant blk women looting and fighting in stores all across America?
Why does Roland have guests? So he can poop all over them😂
And he dominates the conversation. He needs to hear the other side.
😂😂
Black players get raises after white player
The league loses $10M a year, what raises? If it wasn't for the NBA welfare it would have folded
True.
Roland done took the new Master plan
Ain't no black girl shoot the step back logo 3 like Caitlin Clark ain't no Black girl rebound and dominate the paint like Angel Reese. It's exciting to see and watch and worth buying a ticket and Merch
YEP !!!
When the tide comes in ALL THE BOATS float!
What’s annoying is people speaking on the WNBA who’ve never watched until now. All of a sudden everybody has an opinion. Smh. At least in the men’s game and other sports they honor the greats who’ve come before them. That’s not what’s happening here. They’re totally discrediting all of the amazing female basketball players who have graced the basketball court before Caitlin Clark and acting like she’s some kind of unicorn. People’s beef is not with Caitlin, she’s been a class act, their beef is with the media and all of these bandwagon fans who are acting like the women’s game hasn’t always been entertaining. If it wasn’t for the Lisa Leslie’s, Candace Parker’s, and Dawn Staley’s of the world, there would be no Caitlin Clark. Those women deserve more respect than what they’ve been getting. It honestly isn’t even about race, but giving credit where credit is due. Just because the hype around Caitlin Clark’s name is putting more eyes on the WNBA doesn’t mean people shouldn’t point out the obvious biases and privileges that this younger generation is receiving. Roland, please have several seats!
Cut your crap about "we bene here". In 28 years ,the WNBA has had pathetic ratings and EVER one turned a profit. Until Caitlin Clark arrived, and now EVERYTHING is changing. Because of HER. It's not discrediting the legends of the past. It is business. She really moves the needle. Go check the 2 attendance records she just broke--in the PRESEASON, my guy. Then sit down...and put your "past legends" in a time capsule.
But CC herself has always given credit to those players before her. Players aren’t even acknowledging her impact which is insane. The jealousy is real and if you just take your blinders off for one minute you will see it. It’s ok to celebrate both athletes without tearing down the other. It’s ok to give CC her flowers for bringing eyes to the WNBA. Let’s not act like she isn’t the reason for all of this recent success of the WNBA
@@Prettynolegirlcc did in fact bring eyes n I’m happy for it ! So NOW ppl will see who’s the real stars. They are about to shut her fans tf up. Shooting 30% from the FG right now in the wnba is not good. So just wait. But then guess what’s gon happened though. When they realize she is just all hyped up n realize she’s just a good baller not The Goat, they gon stop watching her.
Real Talk!
@@Cuteave1004 You wish. CC's fans aren't fairweather like blk fans. You are revenge fans only supporting Angel because you hate CC. Good luck with that. Wait until her shoes sell in record numbers. Get ready to CRYYYYYYYYY !!!.....
Can you blame a white person for wanting to see a player that they identify with? It happened when Asian players in the NBA were elevated. Lots of Asians were interested in basketball.
It's nothing wrong with it. Men are more into men playing sports. Women are more into female sports like gymnastics and figure skating.
It's natural and it isn't wrong. I mean how many Americans watch cricket? Yah...I thought so.
I'll only play in them as much as they get mad at us when we see a person we identify with being successful and they tell us to shut the hell up about it
Well, if it really is because white people identify with a white player, just say it is. Don't tell us that it's not about race - because you are literally saying it is.
And don't tell us that no, it's just because of her talent, or no, it's just because we're haters. Just admit you like seeing a white person doing that well in that context, because you are white too, and it is actually about her race.
And I'll ease off because I can see how the conversation gets uncomfortable when it gets put in those terms. But this is what you are saying, isn't it?
You get paid when you sell tickets, merchandise and get people to tune in. Period.
Caitlin is so much different on and off the court than the rest. MJ and Tiger did the same thing to ratings and fandom. Happens maybe once in a generation. It's here, be happy!
Isnt it strange that all of a sudden they getting chartered flights, amazon setting up media deal. Where was this a few years ago when current players were complaining about flying comnercial and lack of money. Now all of a sudden the perks come.
Not strange at all. Caitlin Clark has impacted the WNBA in ways never seen...until now. The numbers do NOT lie. SO much so that other teams who are talking ish about HER...are moving games against HER...to much larger arenas. SHE is the difference-maker that will take the WNBA off welfare. Is there anything else I can clarify for you?
Glad I'm not the only one who remembers that from a few years ago. The players were complaining about travel and lodging.
The WNBA is trash 🗑️ Most women don’t even know the name of their local team. Most women don’t even know who the current champion is. Most women have never attended a game. Most women don’t even own any merchandise.
the bottomline is the white girl is getting all the attention and that's a fact . i have nothing against her but that's a fact
Why is the white girl is getting all the attention?
@@Injustice360 do u think white ppl gonna put a black person over a white person ?🤔
Like Roland said they are more white people in America. 31/2 more
Like Roland said, there are more white people in America. 31/2 times more. It is what it is.
@Injustice360 Because she is Damn Good...never seen a girl shoot a ball like that before.
