No big deal. Its no different than when Michael Jordan entered the league and was treated the same. Look where it got him. She doesnt have any titles at all like Angel Reese, But perhaps she will someday soon. Its just entertainment, and nothing more.
Options ? Well, I'd like her to endorse my new performance energy drink -
But ...maybe not an option.
I do have an opinion though, and it's based on my own experience playing college-level hoops :
Caitlin is the real deal, and a complete package of scoring, passing, free throw & assist skills. She's an impact player - for Indiana & for WNBA as a whole. The league knows that, and she knows it. She's improving her ability with every game & making smart career choices for long term.
But is she the only impact player in the league? Certainly not. What we're seeing now with all the talk about Caitlin being targeted for bullying & hate - or being spoiled & put on a pedestal, is typical sportshype and obscures the most important point : Quietly and gradually, NCAA & WNBA players & coaches have improved their game, and are now producing female athletes that are outstanding by any measure. I can think of at least 6 other women who are at or near Caitlin's skill level, and will emerge as legit rivals. What still lags is league management savvy, and absolutely terrible officiating.
Meantime, don't fret about Caitlin getting roughed up by the mean girl crew. She's tough & will survive, and Sophie & the rest of her team will deal with the outlaws.
@GuiltyBiStander If we were on Broke Sharks I'd offer you....50$ and free field tests...for... 30% off a case once production begins.
Cool that you played in college. Definitely knowledgeable about the game. I never wanted one till I read about her. She publicly offered that if Sophie Cunningham is suspended from the league, she'll quit.
The women's game (including hockey & soccer) has always been a marker for equal opportunity at pro level. But now it's actually worth watching just for the quality of play.
I've seen her a few times in clips, because like most people I don't watch the WNBA, but I dont watch the NBA either.. She should stick it out , get some more endorsement deals until she's financially set for life, then leave. If she has passion for the game maybe find a league in Europe whose players will appreciate her.
@Goodluckwiththat Hell yeah!! Publicly yet simply speaking out of here core beliefs concerning the game and it's backlash on Clark has made her an Internet sensation.👍
She is making bank with all those endorsement deals. Another reason the vast majority of the other players hate her. Well....... and the fact that they hate gettin schooled by a white girl. LOL
Same thing happened in reverse with Tiger Woods in golf back in the 90s.
@chrisCA Source of what? Hate from those she's potentially improving the life and livelihood of? Your analogy better fits Nickelback, in my opinion....
