Are there more delusional athletes than black WNBA Queens "who built this league" and "that's why you watch".... thx, for telling us!

They hate Clark because she brings fans that don't live in, nor celebrate the WNBA Alphabet/BLM agenda bubble.

Clark has exposed the League, shown the players their " actual value" which varies wildly from their delusional perceived value.

"You're racist for not worshiping me"....



WNBA has spent 30 years trying to guilt trip the public into watching this awful product, then a player comes along that fans find interesting and exciting and the League tries to kill her because she shifts the false narrative.

Brennan is Clark obsessed and thinks the league should lower flags to half mast because Caitlin will miss a few weeks.

No, I think she meant it and I agree with her that there are many other players worthy of that kind of recognition.

Who? Who else has single-handedly led to this big of attendance and viewership ratings increases?

Can you list out the current superstars? And give us your definition of superstar?

Two from you:

She isn't anywhere near the best player in the league. She arguably isn't even the best guard in the league.

So wait. What’s your argument?

She’s not a superstar?

Or

She’s not the best player in the league?

You’re jumping all over the place lol

She set the ALL-TIME record for turnovers last season. She leads the league this season in turnovers. What exactly am I ignorant about seeing?

So now stats DO tell the whole story?

From what I've seen, at least 40% of her "turnovers" are perfect passes that are so damn good that her bumbling teammates have never experienced them before and aren't expecting the ball in that place or at that moment.


She led the league in turnovers by over 63% last season that's more turnovers than your average pegging session.

As I've already stated, nobody is arguing that Clark has led to the ratings increase.

My point is, there are many players at least as good as Clark. So why is she singled out and getting all the attention? There must be other reasons.

As the article I posted indicates, I'm not the only one with that question.

Well, I'm a pretty tough grader. The two CURRENT players I would consider superstars are Napheesa Collier and A'ja Wilson.
My definition of a superstar is a player who's skills are consistently above and beyond the rest of the league.

There are a ton of outstanding players as well. I would put Clark in that category of which there are maybe 20-30. Where she ranks among that group is debatable.

Because she has lead to MASSIVE tv ratings and attendance number increases. How are you this confused lol

Also she is the best women’s college basketball player of all time, one year removed from college. And let’s say you don’t agree she is the best college player ever, she’s certainly too 5. This isn’t that hard, unless you’re just trying to create a narrative, which clearly you are doing.

Yes, but WHY has she led to massive tv ratings and attendance number increases. That's the question.

You've admittedly never watched a single game. How the frick would you know if she's good or bad?

That’s the question for anyone that’s looking for off the court reasons, like you.

I just told you why she’s led to these massive increases and you hurried your head up your arse and said, “welllllll it must be for non basketball reasons”

There are lots of articles about how she’s top 5 best womens college basketball players of all time.

You like articles don’t you? You keep talking about the one you posted.

Well, no, that's the question for people who have actually watched the games and understand the situation. As the article clearly states, I'm not the only one asking.
