Caitlin Clark is the only reason I've ever watched an WNBA game. She is pivotal for the sport.

The way the WNBA is handling Caitlin Clark demonstrates why they have lost money for 27 years with the greatest talent in the world. Caitlin is the Tiger Woods of the WNBA. Anything the WNBA does to undermine Caitlin undermines itself and its players. Caitlin is the Golden Goose.

We are not new WNBA fams, we are Caitlin.Clark fans!!

I am not saying she's the most important player in the league, but I could not name you another WNBA player to save my life.

A lot of these players don't sound like the WNBA has given them any media training

I watch WNBA now bcuz of Caitlin Clark🏀💫✨

Caitlin is more important to the WNBA, than any singular player has ever been to any other league.

Former WNBA player Candice Wiggins. Picked #3 in the draft. Gave an interview years ago about her experience in the WNBA. Pretty Black woman that was straight. She made the comment that the lockerroom was toxic to her. They at times were trying to injure her. Basically was trying to run her out of the league. Can see some of the parallels with what is happening to CC. Until they get that toxicity out the WNBA. Has never made a penny in since it started. NBA covers the bills is the only reason it's still going. It will never become profitable to pay players more. If they don't get rid of the toxic atmosphere its created for certain players. Will never succeed. I think it was out kick that showed the interview.

CC is the only reason why I want to watch the WNBA!

With all the Legends of the WNBA I never watched one game. However Caitlin with the explosion in the Ncaa I started watching. Even now in the WNBA. Its the only reason Ive watch.

Why are most people willingly and nonchalantly accepting the notion that Caitlin Clark is not the best or the most talented player. I’ve seen and following WNBA for years - I have never seen a player with the three point range, the shooting touch or the court vision as a passer. NEVER. The eye test is more important than many ppl are willing to admit.

The league did not grow and wont if they continue to be more concerned with being an activist league instead of a sports league. I heard an ESPN lady the other day say one of the pillars of the league is to be an activist or something like that. That is a turn off. Tom Brady, Jordan, Bird, and a host of others never used the league for an agenda. These women who are jealous saying they were here first and all, had u just kept it about basketball you could have had more shine than you got and grow this league more than it did. But no you had to bring your personal agendas which kept it from growing.

Seriously, tell me how many of ya’ll ever said “I can’t wait to get home to put on that WNBA game…” lol

They keep on promoting this Clark/Reese rivalry. It is not. Clark is a guard and Reese is a forward. It is not a Magic/Bird rivalry. The only reason WNBA is in the limelight is because of Clark. The numbers do not lie.

Maybe just say Caitlin Clark is elevating the game - because it has nothing to do with Reese. I watch CC and could care less about the rest of the league. These two seem to be making a segment with a bunch of word salads - what are they even talking about? There's 1 WNBA player people are watching...period.

Missing the point guys. This issue is not sports, The issues are merit, racism and sexism which is why if Caitlin is hurt she should sue the NBA and ESPN for an unprecedented amount

Instead of masculine women who look like Fred Flintstone and Mean Joe Greene... the WNBA has started bringing a femininity to it - -a fashion element to pregame arrivals .....many of these women are sleek and beautiful...... Cam Brink will be dearly missed ...... Angel leads the way there ... and Nika Muhl ..... and....and...... wait a minute? What the hell has happened to me? I'm a 70 year old male from Florida and I see Caitlin as my granddaughter ..... good, hell .... when do NFL camps start for Christ sake ?........

Nick just babbling about nothing at all 🤦‍♂️

“Poor Britney Griner…” She’s not Mandela, she broke the law in a foreign country, let’s not get it confused.

Angel Reese is the only reason why I started watching the wnba again from when it first started in 1997

Brittney Griner went to prison for having drugs illegally Second, Kaitlyn Clark should leave the WNBA immediately they need her. She doesn’t need them go overseas where they will. Love you instead of trying to destroy you.

Unless Caitlin Clark is playing, I'll never watch the WNBA after seeing how trashy some of these fouls are.

She definitely SAVED the WNBA. But they need to not fumble this....unfortunately they already fumbled the Olympics thing

Clark wasn’t recruited by any of the big name schools in college. She beat the best teams with less talented teams. She’s not super athletic or tall. She’s definitely an underdog story

I watch for CC but have gained awareness and appreciation for their other players.

Brittney Griner ended up in prison, because she disrespected another country, and their laws. Needless to say, that was not a basketball play :)

Caitlin brings people to the W and then they see Aja Wilson and stay. Aja is insane.

This segment were going to look back on years from now and say DAMN. Couldn't have been more right.

Caitlin flows ... I attended 2 WNBA Championships with my daughter. Not very fun. With Caitlin, it's exciting.

I feel seen. It's just like Nick said: I came to the WNBA because I was curious about the Caitlin Effect, and now I'm amazed at how good Aja Wilson is.

I think some of the animosoty out there is less about Caitlin herself and more about 'that' segment of the fan base - the ones who mocked the league for years - and those who still mock - the WNBA and players, still make it about anything but the game, and now want their feet kissed and think they have a serious opinion for having, in, many cases, barely paid attention for all of a month.

It's not true that in Europe some women's basketball leagues are profitable. Few countries pay way better than WNBA pays, but it's not because it's profitable. It's because the countries leaders subsidizes the league... and very generously. Most generous leagues in europe are Turkey and Russia.... we all know that it's dictatures where President can forward money where they want. Sport is big way to boost their prestige for country leaders.

Caitlin Clark is the most popular player in the world and as far as impact she is the biggest star in living memory. James is King James but he didn't save a league. Caitlyn Clark games will make up half of all attendance no other athlete in documented history can say that. She ain't just a player. I know she isn't the best right now.

Katlin Clark did 100% leave the WNBA. They treat her terribly he don’t our own country. Does it want her on our Olympic team? They rather have a person I wouldn’t say a female player that went to prison and hates our country. Leave the WNBA you way more than you needed it.

It was an interesting discussion until Nick Wright took over and wouldn't shut up. Comparing CC to Kardasian was stupid.

Nick doesn’t get it. I like Nick but he’s a poor student of individual human psychology. There is no way you can compare Caitlin Clark’s situation to Paris Hilton. Colin gets it. Every human is a collection of a bunch of traits, experiences, and reactions. It’s where they are now is what is what we can judge

Angel Reese wishes she had this kind of influence. Only a true great person and athlete can do what CC does

Caitlin is the only reason I started watching!

I want to compare passes from teamates and blitzes of CC vs JU Ju rookie year and I know it wont compare

Let’s be honest Caitlin is the only reason anyone is halfway interested. Whether it’s for her playing or just the controversy she’s inadvertently caused

Caitlin Clark clash with Angel is the major reason that helped raise Caitlin Clark profile and also this years female WNBA draft class top ten too helped raise the WNBA viewership

Rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese? Cameron Brink's injury? Maybe, some people find that noteworthy of their attention. But for me, they are not. What is worthy to watch the WNBA and news of it worthy of my attention is ONLY Caitlin Clark. She is very much different from all the players in the WNBA. Even the way she plays, her demeanor, her professionalism, her maturity, etc. are worthy of my attention rather than the storylines that media put out regarding the WNBA and its players. That is what the WNBA should look into and analyze to be able to capitalize on Caitlin Clark's popularity. It is not the rivalry, the shenanigans of butch thuggish players, the jealousy and pettiness in the WNBA (not only of players but also of coaches and leadership), etc. that I think people are tuned in to the WNBA. I believe the WNBA needs to be overhauled totally to provide a platform of talented players who are professional like Caitlin Clark to thrive on and show their talents for the enjoyment of the viewing public.

Magic Johnson posted this in Twitrer/X and possibly the biggest compliment to Caitlin so far: "When I think about Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese’s impact on the game, they remind me a lot of Larry Bird and me. Our first meeting, Indiana State vs. Michigan State, in the NCAA Championship set the all-time viewership record for men’s basketball. Caitlin and Angel’s 2023 NCAA Championship matchup and their 2024 Elite Eight games were the highest viewership records at the time."

JuJu comes out in 2027. That is going to be Caitlin's real rival or magic johnson.

From the profitability standpoint. Pros & cons to target a bigger market share. Creating your own competitor for a larger piece of the pie. $$$ bottom line. Sad that overseas WBB is profitable or break even as against the WNBA on welfare.

CC took hill billies (relatively speaking) to two straight national title games beating power houses with 3-7+ high school all-Americans…. Underdog

But nobody is really watching they are watching clips and posting their thoughts. Until we get fans that like basketball it will always be like this

I always love these Caitlin Clark segments. LOL

Caitlin Clark improving the WNBA's viewership and newsworthiness has really shown the world how the WNBA really isn't ready for Prime Time. Their players are immature divas, the people who cover their sport act like activists instead of sports commenters. The NBA used to have a major problem with 'thug culture' and the WNBA seems to have that same problem.

❤CC22

CC gets triple teamed by "PROS" And pulls a Double Double! AGAIN NO OTHER WOMAN HAS DONE THAT SINCE 2015! CC DID. Just wait.

Every time I watch Nick Wright offering his pontificating words of wisdom, I can't help but remember his withering attacks on Tom Brady leading up to his last Super Bowl win. But he's not the only one who fell on his sword after ripping Brady's chances of nabbing another ring, and I hope he treats CC with respect as opposed to how he treated the GOAT!!!

I don't even watch a game or highlights of the WNBA but I will watch CC's highlights and sometimes watches her games for a few minutes.

Adam Silver need to have a talk with the WNBA management team to “help” them understand that they need to begin protecting the “franchise player”, who single handedly has brought them to the forefront of women’s sports. The referees also need to stop allowing her to be knocked around. The league needs to start fining these “women” who think it is ok to commit flagrant fouls on a regular basis just to enact their “racist” agenda.

100% on someone like Aja. She is amazing I wouldn’t of ever know her name unless I was a cc fan. So yes like Cc has said her self a 100x. The wnba have always been great. Eyes just weren’t on it.

Love these two together. Great stuff!

I have never watched the WNBA. I started watching Clark in college and moving onto the WNBA, I now watch games she is playing in.

NEVER.... in my life did I ever believe that I would EVER care to watch a WNBA or womens college game. I work security at a sports bar. And without ever hearing of C-Clark I just caught a quick glimpse of her highlights and immediately was drawn to her skills. I ONLY care about games she is playing in. I want to see what she is going to do next on the court. She is like seeing Jordan for the first time.

Simply put I never watched till CC came into to league and it opened my eyes to other players but CC is the draw

Clarke is giving them a raise, private jets- they’d better be nice to their new BOSS

Reese has size and maybe strength but a very unorthodox game. Not very athletic or skilled. She is getting her numbers but Aesthetics is lacking for me.

Caitlin Clark is a once in a generation athlete. She broke just about every college womens' basketball record you can think of including men's. And yes, she is a white girl playing basketball 🏀 her charm and grace has gotten her millions of fans. Caitlin Clark has over 20 million reasons to be who she is. The WNBA is blessed to have CC turn the game upside-down and bring over millions of new fans.

The ABA was pretty good,,But the NBA basically bought them out. Basically put the ABA on welfare by creating the WNBA....The ABA team in Hartford had a lot of fans..Dawn Staley played, Jen Risotto, all of the best players...??

Nick Wright professional word salad non reaearch lazy reporting

Great segment. You earned a subscription Mr Cowherd!

With WNBA players injured, how exciting if Caitlin Clark plays in the Paris Olympics!

Some people get famous by setting every collegiate basketball record, men or women. If you walk up to 100 people, anywhere in this country, and ask them when they ever heard of the WNBA, 90% of them or more would say, maybe 3 months ago.

Economics 101. Do not turn off potential users of your product. This is what they did. Truth......

Understatement of the year in sports.

What's sad is these WNBA players could all be a Fresh and Fit after hours, these chicks are just petty.

Ever since lbj faked a race crime to deflect from getting his ass beat in the finals against curry, i and millions were done with espn and most media for either playing along or not calling it out initially.

If it wasn't for the fincial support of the NBA the WNBA would have went under year's ago. That's why Adam Silver was so out spoken in his support for Caitlin and also one of the reason he wanted her on the olympic team.

Spot on guys! 🎯💯 Keep it up. Plus Keep up the political commentary Colin. Your voice of reason and truth is very much needed, and reaching people that need to hear it. 🙏🔥

Women’s basketball will make money overseas until the first season of Real Housewives of Kiev airs.

Lebron is a dope! Good show Colin!

There's a difference between golf and tiger and Clark ND WNBA In golf, the players in the sport universally embraced tiger In the WNBA Clark has been pretty much rejected by the players and not promoted by the league officials in any way

You guys say you work for your audience. Check your comments. It's all C.C. That's what they care about and you can flap your gums all you like and that won't change.

The quality of the wnba broadcasts are dismal. The games feel Ike minor league baseball. They need more professionalism in their presentation.

Gooooo Caitlin!!!!💪🏻🥇🙌🏻

Lol poor Britney grinder?????

Completely agree

Can you imagine the hype behind Gigi Bryant growing up. RIP

I live in Indianapolis and am trying to get tickets to a game and the only ones available are nosebleed seats.

Caitlin will learn the speed of the game and bring basketball skills that makes it more exciting

Clark / Reese Jordan / Bird Redo the McD commercial with them two ❤ That's a fuckin great idea

The WNBA has so much potential! I hope they figure it out.

Often overlooked is the most dominant team in organized sports is team USA. The Women’s Olympic team runs through the world every 4-years, with ease. BTW, Clark should have been on the Olympic roster. Missed opportunity here.

Too bad women’s tackle football isn’t a big thing, we should have high school teams and D1 college programs to support a pro league. My daughter wants to play so bad but there’s nothing where i live. I think people would watch it if there were marketing behind it like the UFL

This noise around Caitlin Clark isn't that interesting. The way she is playing and interacting on the basketball court with her teammates is. I'm tired of race talk. 'm tired of faux controversies. Nothing is controversial about Caitlin and fans are fans, they're always over the top. I don't care what goes on in the toxic world of social media either. Clark can be the first step for the WNBA to expand. Paige second. JuJu third. But the WNBA has to get out of 1980s Bad Boy NBA club 'em bully basketball to keep viewers. It's not a compelling product. People want to see A'ja Wilson play, not get knocked to the floor and have to go into concussion protocol every other game.

The Fever are now playing well as a team. They are starting to win... regularly.

when i want the hard hitting non pandering sports news i turn to colon and squiddy

Paige is super talented & a very well-rounded player who can do it all at extremely high levels, but she's just not all that close to CC in terms of hyper-elite greatness, & has an even larger gap in what really matters for the W...excitement factor. She's tough as nails, but even more slight of build than CC, with an injury history already at such a young age. JuJu could be that next big women's star, but I doubt even she will capture us the way CC has...but she's so young, so we'll see. JuJu's problem is the same as Paige's, she just doesn't have a playing style that has nearly the same entertainment/excitement value of CC. CC is so captivating because of the way she moves on the court, her deep shooting prowess, & her amazing sniper passing. Her movement, her shooting, & her passing all remind us of the men's game & that's what equates to her singular success in delivering new fans. I hear so many talking heads say that CC is the spark...she's a whole lot more than a spark...she's literally the only player to date that has ever played remotely like she does, which happens to be a very exciting brand of BB that actually gets folks to watch....I do think she'll spark the next generation to mimic her playing style, but that'll take a bit of time to produce some new stars to keep this thing going.

This may upset some but please listen. This year what made the WNBA spark in live and watched attendance and jersey sales is because the white population fell in love with Caitlin where before this demographic did not have individuals that they connected with. PLEASE, I do NOT say this because of racism, but the real fact is that demographic populations, like whites in this case, identify more with this mid-western phenomenon than some talented black athletes. I am not discounting the value that black athletes play because proportionally they far exceed any demographic in the league. What I am saying is that the WHITE POPULATION RADICALLY TURNED THE SWITCH TO ON IN THE WNBA resulting in epic growth experienced. Look at the in house fans and the number 22 is on their backs more than any other number…and they are the white fans that have PAID MONETARILY a lot resulting in such attendance numbers that the commissioner, the first weeks of the season ALREADY knew they would have the finances to fork the bill out for EVERY TEAM TRAVELING CHARTER. In this past this was proposed but radically turned down because of insufficient funds. I do not put down any race or demographic and only ask you to consider the realities of what I said. Wishing ALL great success and thanking all for making it exciting as new fans have tuned in FOR THE FIRST TIME.

these clowns... I guess they got their marching orders.

As the old saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." So, don't go to Russia, or China, or any dictator-run state, and think that behaving like you're in the USA will end well for you. Brittney Griner was disrespectful and irresponsible while traveling in a foreign state and nearly paid the ultimate price. She should be extremely grateful and thankful and humbled by her experience.

The WNBA has to WANT to be saved, to actually be saved.

Always blaming everyone else for Britney Griner getting arrested and not blaming Britney herself.

Interesting point ... the Tiger metaphor.

What has this world turned into when a woman having sex has become something we deem as “Celebrity “ 🤦‍♂️.. Your Principles and values has turned upside down
