@TeamYouTube I signed up for a second YouTubeTV acct accidentally. I already have a YouTubeTV account. While updating that account my YouTubeTV app defaulted to a different gmail. I realized this within minutes and cancelled the 2nd acct. I need a refund.

On target!

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

The WNBA has completely mismanaged its biggest star in Caitlin Clark and it’s sad to see.

Caitlin Clark didn’t do it alone and there are a number of current and former players who helped pave and maintain the way, but Caitlin Clark has been the primary catalyst for the WNBA’s new media rights deal, new CBA, having to move games to bigger arenas, getting private chartered flights and so much more.

Yet when she is targeted in ways on the court that aren’t about basketball, it’s brushed aside as “physicality” or “just the way we play in the W”.

No.

What Alyssa Thomas did to Caitlin Clark was not about basketball.

What Alyssa Thomas did to Angel Reese was not about basketball.

It was a cheap shot.

It was dirty.

It was done on purpose.

And it’s hurting the WNBA as a whole.

What’s also sad is that because of the mismanagement of Caitlin Clark by the WNBA as a whole, the fact that HISTORICALLY INCREDIBLE BASKETBALL IS BEING PLAYED in the WNBA and it’s not being talked about enough.

Marina Mabrey tied the WNBA record for most points in a game with 53 points, 6 Rebs, 2 assists and tied the WNBA record by hitting NINE 3’s for the Toronto Tempo 🤯

Rookie Olivia Miles broke Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers’ WNBA record for fastest to score 300 points and have 100 assists. Clark and Bueckers did it in 19 games, so Miles did it in 18.

Olivia Miles has also lead the Minnesota Lynx, without star player Napheessa Collier, to the best record in the league and #1 in every major offensive statistic.

Angel Reese just became the fastest player to get 1k rebounds.

There is so much greatness happening in the WNBA, and it’s being ignored because people don’t want to celebrate it when the league won’t even protect its own players from unnecessary targeted behavior.

Some people don’t want to celebrate the WNBA when the league won’t protect its most marketable player that is the driving force behind its increased awareness.

But I will say the quiet part out loud.
The facts today still show that far too many people are making things in the WNBA about race or sexuality and not the results.

Drawing a line in the sand and defending any player’s dirty play just because of the color of their skin is wrong.

We shouldn’t be denying the truth of what we see and situating or views of the truth along color lines.

Caitlin Clark and every WNBA player wants to compete at the highest level. They are tough and the best female basketball players in the World.

They don’t want to be involved in identity politics or race wars. They just want to play basketball.

Right & wrong has no color.

Alyssa Thomas was wrong for what she did.

Caitlin Clark is a phenom, the WNBA has been wrong at so many turns with how they have handled her and the WNBA needs to improve its officiating.

Olivia Miles was the right pick for Minnesota and is the runaway Rookie of the Year right now.

Marina Mabrey was the right move for the Toronto Tempo.

Angel Reese was the right move for the Atlanta Dream.

Don’t pick sides based on the color of a player’s skin or their sexuality.

Let’s just talk basketball.

What Alyssa Thomas did wasn’t about basketball, she is rightfully getting crushed for it and got suspended.

But everything doesn’t have to be a race war.

It shouldn’t be.

A fist to the throat. A suspension that is way too lenient. My @usatodaysports column on what Alyssa Thomas and other WNBA players have done to Caitlin Clark, the most famous, marketable and important women’s pro team sport athlete in history.

Here’s also something that many don’t grasp … if you want to have a basketball convo about who is the best player in the league that’s fine. But there is NO ONE more marketable for the WNBA other than Caitlin Clark. She is the ONLY face of the league. You don’t have to like it or agree with it. But that’s exactly what she is.

Derek Jeter was never the best player in baseball (he was one of them) but he was the league’s most marketable star.

If you can’t admit that Clark is the most marketable star, you’re blinded by your own emotion and bias. This league is doing an awful job at capitalizing on Clark and protecting the face of the league.

@chloepeterson67 This statement is not enough.

[Its_Just_Basketball @Fever_Rising_]

Anyone this morning that wants to talk about anything other than how the way Caitlin Clark is reffed in this league is egregious, is just muddying the waters on what’s important.

I don’t want to spend time discussing what/if/when the Fever FO & coaches should have done more

I don’t want to spend time arguing about how fans are then blaming the Fever FO & Coaches

I want the MAIN THING TO BE THE MAIN THING - which is Caitlin Clark is NOT reffed the same as other players in this league and it effects not only her and the teams success but allows opportunities for wear and tear and injury.

The @WNBA has to do better and deserves every bit of smoke they will get from this.

[Brett Robinson @AlanDollarhide]

@ScoutWithBryan I watched this in real time on a small screen. It was an obvious foul. My immediate thought was “here we go again”. Easy to call. This happens regularly. You might need to watch a few more Fever games to get some perspective. It is truly ridiculous.

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

The Fever shot 59% from the field, 48% from three, and 95% from the free-throw line.

Elite efficiency.

But they only got 19 free-throw attempts while Phoenix got 33.

At some point, people are allowed to ask about the whistle.

[StaceyDales @StaceyDales]

This is pathetic — not even loose ball worthy. League needs to review this. Completely uncalled for. And of course, they got what they wanted - Clark out for the game (back).

[Barry J Collins @I_Am_BJC]

Exactly!

[kb 💥 @kerrrr22]

Genuinely hilarious watching the non-calls for Caitlin Clark that mirror identical plays she gets whistled for on the other end. 💀

"What a SHAME. WTF is wrong with him?"

"Our communities are thriving. We have businesses, scientists, engineers, doctors. We give back to this country more than we take."
