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.
TV viewership obviously is a great measure of fan interest. (NFL’s dominance over everything for instance.)
Lots of talk that interest in Caitlin Clark is fading.
Fever-Toronto, 6/16: 1M
Vegas-Dallas (A’ja-Paige), 6/15: 457K.
More than double. Both at night on USA Network.
This is a tipping point for the WNBA. It’s year 3 of constant cheap shots on the player who brought seismic attention to the league.
What other pro league doesn’t protect its superstar? Or, hell, just treat her like a human being. The adults need to enter the room.
Look, man…
The WNBA is literally bringing all of this onto themselves. It’s been ridiculous since she got into the league & it gets worse by the game. The way that Caitlin Clark is officiated is absolutely insane. Truly, pure insanity.
In what world is this not a foul? Lmao
This is wild. WNBA celebrates 30 years with 30 players and doesn't include the player who brought the league the most attention, highest ratings, increased revenue and player salaries, schedule and team expansion, merch sales, and fan attendance its ever had.
Good to see Bridget Carleton make the cut though.
I cannot shake the feeling we are overreacting to one game.
The past couple of matches the team has been very positive in the attack, but the D still leaks like a sieve and we are less than solid at keeper. #USMNT
Phil Mickelson has/had a gambling problem. People shrugged it off.
Phil Mickelson took Saudi money to play on the LIV Tour. People raised eyebrows.
Phil Mickelson booted from his hometown club for sexual harassment. People suddenly surprised he's filth?
One of my favorite things about the World Cup is when players of this caliber make mistakes.
The same mistakes that youth soccer players make.
I hope parents and maybe more importantly coaches are paying attention and realize it’s not a game of perfect. Don’t forget that.
Exclusive: Phil Mickelson accused of nonconsensual, inappropriate contact with a female employee at his home course. Following the allegation, he is no longer a member of the club. Our Golf Digest investigation: https://t.co/9oUaElyErq
