got the featured interview for the 60 minutes piece on the WNBA


So after she gets bounced from the playoffs and TV ratings facing an imminent freefall in ratings....woke CBS decides to promote Clark to talk about how great the WNBA is? You can't make this shite up.

They don't want her BUT will use HER to give her haters pay raises. WNBA is the most insanely bizarre run operation in sports....first leave her off the Olympics, then ignore the on-court hostility towards her by " jealous "Queens", pretend Reese is some real adversary, as if this layup missing self-promoter is Magic Johnson....

And then root for Clark to lose in the playoffs, only to beg her to promote a League that hates her. What are we watching here? Whatever it is, we ain't watching no more.

I find it interesting that someone who's never seen a WNBA game is in every WNBA thread acting like he's an expert on the subject.

It looks like you're all over the place here. But let me help you out a bit here.

CBS is not the WNBA.

The Olympics is not the WNBA.

Fans are not the WNBA.

The media is not the WNBA.

Hope this helps.

We are straying off topic…..

Will 60 minutes want to feature rebounding on their next interview?

And then they are still beating the drum for closing the pay gap between men and women lolololol


I think they have a really good chance to get a huge raise if they stop trying to downplay Clarks whiteness, and embrace it like the NBA did with Magic and Bird. This is a huge opportunity for the W to take the next step. So far, they are shitting the bed.

What’s sad is that when Magic and Bird were playing they were friends but rivals, both were respected. And Bird was the biggest trash talker but he backed it up. That was a cool relationship that others should try to emulate. It lifted the sport.


it really wasnt black guy versus white guy back then

it was glitzy Hollywood versus blue collar Beantown, city vs city

it seems like Bird vs Magic was a racial issue more for black people than white people, on so many podcasts you constantly hear players from the 80s talking about not letting that slow white guy beat them

then they realized Bird could beat them and he would, so they had to hear it from their people

Reese vs Clark the roles are reversed, the flashy player is the white girl from Iowa and the high effort hard worker is the black girl from Baltimore. So the MSM makes it about CC having special priviledge because she is the white savior of the League.

But no one made that case for Taurasi or Ionescu when they came in to the League because they were not as popular as CC.. The racial stuff didnt sell back then and it really shouldnt sell now.

It sucks when you have a player that openly admits that she will embrace the villain role to Clark’s hero. Only adds fuel to it.

But I don’t want this focus to be on race.

Just celebrating what a great season Clark had and her tremendous acknowledgment to he featured in this piece.

The amount of players suddenly coming out of the woodwork crying fan racism after being questioned about the intentional personal fouls on Clark and then laughing about it on the sidelines is classic defensive victimhood to mask their own racism and bad behavior..

The WNBA even went after the reporter who dared question the player who gave Clark a black eye. Maybe she just needs to retire to get away from this MSM Clark Derangement. The coach doesn't have her back, her teammates don't have her back and the welfare League certainly doesn't have her back.



They hate her, have been open season on her all year and they have no fear of repercussions. This is not a sports league.
