@WNBAZodiac Considering the league is expanding I would say you are wrong about 95% of this list.
If you are into TCG and looking for a place to list some cards, host live streams, or join some live streams for rip and ships...

Completely Revamped! Our Re-Debut Stream is slated for this weekend!
Come join the party!
@TheHurricaneBen Neither guy played that correctly. They should have on to the right of their base. Defender could have slid to avoid collision. The runner won’t because it will slow them down. The pitcher should have been covering…. Lots of things went wrong for this to happen.
They literally said it would be like that for the entire season….. so please continue.
She’s going to probable everytime her team is about to face the a team that’s good defensively? Lmaooo
Backwards booking….
Shocking…. They are going backwards with their booking.
Watch Jacob’s facial expression and Jey is talking all over him.
He's DEFEATED 😭
As a fraud? Are you mental? lol
CC finally getting exposed as a fraud that y'all put on a pedastal and y'all are putting out thinkpieces making her a victim bc you got it wrong and will never admit it.
This is what you get for making a star out of someone mid AF
I’m going to say this as calmly as possible:
Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach.
Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great.
It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big.
And that is insane.
This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her.
She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude.
No.
Her attitude is not the story.
The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance.
This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.”
That is what this looks like.
The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it.
And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped.
Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd.
You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room.
Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing.
Fans are not stupid.
They see the fouls.
They see the double standards.
They see the jealousy.
They see the media resentment.
They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her.
And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly:
People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled.
They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great.
If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid:
Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark.
At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question:
How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her?
Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse.
It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care.

@drewdamn87 @thewonkypenguin The small market teams will have to spend a lot more. The big market teams won’t. That’s called balancing out. Also, I’m not exactly sure why you’re putting pictures of yourself in your post. Has nothing to do with the conversation.

@drewdamn87 @thewonkypenguin The fact you’re arguing against players getting paid more is a dumb thing to do. It will all balance out in the end and with a cap more big players will have to choose teams because there won’t be enough space… or they take less money and that’s on them.
Episode 50 will be delayed… Sorry, I know you’re looking forward to it this morning. But you can listen to the other 49 of them here…

If you wanna get caught up on the current 49 episodes link is below! ⬇️

This weeks episode will be big ol #50! Next stop…. 100!
If it bothers you that much please seek help. It’s pro wrestling… it’s a scripted athletic event. I respect all those that do it, but when Taz is on call and doesn’t seem affected by it I think it’s okay….
It doesn’t matter TO YOU. And that’s not why they “care” about it. You can respect the spot and pay tribute to the man who never once did the spot without selling it.
My point is… it doesn’t fucking matter. The only people that care about it are fans who want something to bitch about.
Did I argue that people don’t know it isn’t “real”? No? Okay let’s stick to the point being made.
Idiots….
You’ve got people who struggle to open any packs and then you have idiots like this! 🤦🏼♂️
