@WNBA Are you hearing the backlash? X is 😡 as hell for this BS.

[Justin Herbert 4 MVP @BurkeChargers]

There truly is no point for Caitlin Clark to continue playing in the WNBA while the league allows her to be assaulted on a nightly basis. The Alyssa Thomas fist to the neck, groin shot, and then unnecessary step over is one of the dirtiest plays youll ever see and is unacceptable

[Amy Tipton @amypit40]

@KatKanada_TM SO MUCH TRUTH IN THIS! Trust the gut.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.

Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.

If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!

On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.

a precedent has been set earlier this season @WNBA if you dont rescind caitlins techncial for the exact same reason we can safely assume you are corrupt in everything you do and everything involving caitlin.

@DanAndShay @FIFAWorldCup THANK YOU FOR SINGING THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER!

@WilliamsSonoma I tried to return a barista style coffee maker I bought. I tried to operate it once, but it's too complicated. No one at the store offered to show me how to operate it, and no one told me that once it was used it was not returnable. I will no longer shop at WS.

@DylanEveryday 1. Some players got kicked off teams for ONE bet on a different sport.
2. It's not just the B1G that doesn't want to play tt. SEC considering as well. They aren't scared.
3. Because other teams' players commit immoral acts is lousy reason to justify your immorality.

@NCAA DO BETTER!

Noah Shannon was robbed. Iowa and Iowa State got absolutely screwed.

@WNBA , hear this wisdom. It’s how I feel. I can’t watch anymore b/c of the target on her back.

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

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.

[maxine @maxinem29]

A WNBA player endorsing violence towards another player in the league should result in a suspension and a fine 😳

[Amy Tipton @amypit40]

@TimTsla @JoeTegtmeyer @esherifftv You can walk to the beach from Margaritaville and watch and feel this exact same sensation. Bring earplugs. We have a place very close to that resort and have watched 2 liftoffs. It definitely gets the blood moving!

@ZeekArkham @SenSchumer Are your pants on fire?

Just so we're clear: The U.S. hockey team's patriotism and win are what the Super Bowl should have been.

Take note @NFL

[Amy Tipton @amypit40]

@Pontifex Immigration to Vatican City is not allowed; in fact a devastating fine is imposed on anyone trying to squat anywhere within in the VC walls. US allows LEGAL immigrants who are willing to contribute to society.

[Amy Tipton @amypit40]

@BarstoolTenn You're welcome. Couldn't have happened to a bigger arrogant punk.

[Amy Tipton @amypit40]

@BoardGeniuses I'm starting to think that Vanderbilt only graduates arrogant punks.

[Amy Tipton @amypit40]

@RealSkipBayless Does Vandy only graduate punks?
