Caitlyn Clark is only popular because she's white says race baiting commentator Jam Hill now let's go to it Rob if you want to pull it up uh so here we go Jam cims Katon clar's popularity is influenced by her race and sexuality stating we would be very naive if we didn't say race heterosexuality played a role in the popularity he'll as there is a part of it that is a little bit problematic because of what it says about the worth and the marketability of the players who are already there Hill acknowledges Clark's difficult position in
the race debate in that regard I feel bad for Caitlyn Clark because she didn't ask for any of that but criticizes Hill uh for placing this nonsense on Clark's shoulder despite Clark's massive platform and impressive achievements Clark's debut the most watched game in 23 years with over 2.3 million viewers on ESPN and mentioning the new chapter flight policy due to security concerns about the mega star Clark think about this did you catch what the owner of the Mystic said about cait Clark she believes Clark shouldn't have been named times athlete of the Year claiming other
players deserve it just as much 2.2 million okay WNBA 2.2 million because of a white girl you think it's because of a white girl it's because she she shoots it lights out from the you know from the what do you call it the logo yeah I mean she just she's like the modern day Steph Curry you know what's the closest thing she reminds me of the closest case study that was an anomaly okay um B is it a white sport Black sport Hispanic sport right now is a Latino sport but it used Totino mix it's
white black right no Middle Easterns I'm offended I'm just want clarify that that's out of control it's surprising to see a WNBA owner criticize such a standout rookie she even mentioned race suggesting that if the whole league was recognized instead of just one player it might help avoid negative feelings and racism this controversy is really stirring up discussions in the basketball Community about the future of women's sports if we go if we go to football is it white Black Or Hispanic black first and then what black first Samoan s Lin and then and then white
people white people right okay if you go to NBA what is it all black and European black and European white guys you're actually right black and Serbian Serbian Slovenia you know some Joker and except if you're the Dallas Mavericks yes they have been the whitest team since 2001 when Mark cuan he so committed to according to the guardian for the first 20 years or so that he owned the maths it was the whitest team in the NBA Mark cubin who supports Dei he has had the whitest team in the NBA for the first 20 years
or so yes let's take a moment to appreciate Caitlyn Clark who is being celebrated as one of the best rookies in WNBA history and it's easy to see why of wining the team sometime I'm sure he's very proud of but if you go to if you go to uh golf is it white or is it black white it's white with tiger until one guy showed up one guy yeah one guy he was TI and black and a lot of other that's right he was like I've never I've never cared about golf ever nope bro we
we're from Iran you don't give Middle Easterns like a club you say hey go play no you give a rifle you say protect the country so so golf no one's going to watch it then a tiger wood shows up and he's dominating yeah after joining the Indiana Fever she broke an impressive 64 records including the record for the most assists in a single season which is a remarkable achievement for a firste player white sports supporters well we're going to talk about Caitlyn Clark's retirement of her number her Jersey for Iowa basketball and some of the
prices to get in the set event which are I pretty sure they're the Far and Away the highest I've seen involving any of the prices I've seen for any anything that we've talked about on this channel including those showdowns with uh Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky her talent and performance have truly set her apart in the league aside from her personal achievements Caitlyn Clark's leadership has completely changed the fever leading them to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 her also it's Asia Wilson's retirement Jersey day right and well her prices for her
game are high the only problem is Caitlin Clarks are literally about 11 times higher all right and one's got to wonder is somebody really going to pay $700 to see Asia Wilson and her number get retired maybe they will impact goes beyond just boosting her team she's reshaped what we think a rookie can accomplish in the league Caitlyn Clark's influence goes far beyond just her stats and games her exciting style of play and star appeal have led to a huge increase in WNBA viewership attracting attention to the league like never before but I can tell
you right now if somebody wants these seats right here to see Caitlyn Clark they're going to have to pay 8,325 now I got to be honest with you I don't know that they're actually going to sell for that the closer we get that's one ticket one ticket there are a lot of tickets $2,498 22431 19966 and are tuning in not only to see her play but also to be part of something special as it unfolds 1840 look the highest price one you have one verified ticket that I can see 700 bucks for Asia Wilson and
where is that seat at a section 118 then you got some that are in the 400s and 500s and then it drops down and you can still get into the game this remarkable impact hasn't gone unnoticed Time Magazine recognized her as athlete of the year A fitting honor for someone who has become a key figure in this new chapter for women's sports not everyone is on board with Caitlyn Clark's rise to stardom despite her groundbreaking achievements and being named times athlete of the year she's faced a lot of backlash with some questioning the spotlight she's
getting one of her most vocal critics is Sheila Johnson the owner of the mystics whose comments have only intensified the debate John and and we'll get to compare the ratings because I I I would assume that game against Auburn will be televised somewhere uh now whether not it's nationally televised like I think the Iowa game's going to end up being I don't know but look when it comes to tickets it's a supply and a demand issue it's an ex that instead of focusing solely on Clark the entire league deserves recognition for its Talent highlighting concerns
about fairness and representation within the WNBA Sheila Johnson co-owner of the Washington Mystics stirred up some controversy by questioning Caitlyn Clark's selection as times athlete of the year she argued that instead of highlighting just one player the entire WNBA should have been recognized for its Talent Johnson believes that focusing on a single athlete can create resentment and suggested that angel Reese deserved the honor as well her comments have sparked a debate about fairness and representation within the league with many fans feeling her remarks Overlook Clark's significant contributions to women's basketball what's happening here this seems
really strange Angel Reese definitely deserves some Spotlight but when it comes to attracting fans Caitlyn Clark is unmatched in fact a lot of the buzz around Reese comes from Clark's impressive performances and the attention they generated Clark has really been a GameChanger for the league bringing in viewers like no one else wait a minute it gets even Wilder when someone mentioned the Clark effect the owner started talking about race can you believe it a WNBA owner is bringing race into the conversation this is precisely why the WNBA has a hard time progressing and earning the
recognition it truly deserves people are just fed up with the ongoing discussions about race now let's discuss Talent Sheila Johnson made a statement that's tough to believe saying there are tons of players just as skilled as Clark really no rookie recent times has dazzled on the court like Caitlyn Clark her accomplishments are impressive she's breaking records showcasing almost magical skills and completely changing what we think is possible in basketball her stats are incredible her style of play is thrilling and she's not just playing she's attracting a whole new crowd to women's basketball there's no denying
the influence Clark has she truly stands out in her own category but the owner wasn't finished she had a problem with Time magazine's cover that showed Clark believe it or not she thought they should have featured the whole WNBA on the front instead are you serious it's called athlete of the year for a reason not athletes of the year you might think maybe she has a point about highlighting the league but honestly that's not how these Awards operate can you picture them giving the award to the whole Lakers team instead of one star player it
just wouldn't work awards are meant to recognize those who stand out and right now Clark is really stealing the spotlight then the owner says something like if you focus on one player it can hurt others feelings honestly it's not just funny coming from a team owner it makes the whole situation even more absurd let's be real here this isn't a charity it's Sports what matters is how well you perform not your feelings if a player is more skilled they deserve to be paid more just take soccer as an example Messi makes way more than Lukaku
because he's simply a better player it's really that straightforward this is where things get troubling the owner is playing the race card again suggesting that Clark's recognition is linked to her being white here's the reality Clark's performance speaks volumes her influence on the game is clear bringing race into this conversation not only misses the mark but also undermines the progress women's basketball has made is the owner really implying that not awarding Clark will fix racial issues in sports that's what it sounds like and it's a silly argument ignoring a deserving athlete no matter their race
doesn't promote equality it just deepens divisions let's set the record straight Caitlyn Clark's achievements don't diminish the talent of other amazing players in the w NBA the league is packed with skilled athletes from various backgrounds but right now Clark is in the spotlight she's breaking records drawing in new fans and boosting the entire sport the owner remarks highlight a larger issue in the WNBA there's a tendency to overlook individual accomplishments to promote the league as a whole however star power is crucial it attracts attention boosts viewership and ultimately helps everyone involved in the league Caitlyn
Clark absolutely deserves that time cover she's bringing a fresh wave of excitement to women's basketball instead of downplaying her achievements the WNBA should be celebrating them because her success means growth for the entire league just when you thought this debate couldn't heat up more ESPN's L Duncan jumps in she boldly defended Clark stating she fully deserves the athlete of the Year award but that's not all Duncan argued that Clark's recognition actually benefits the whole WNBA can you believe it an ESPN anchor standing up to a league owner like that Ellie Duncan defended Caitlyn Clark by
emphasizing that honoring her with this award boosts the entire league this means Clark's achievements aren't just about her they elevate women's basketball as a whole that's significant right Duncan's point is that when one player shines it reflects positively on the sport itself helping to grow interest in support for women's Athletics it's a powerful message about the impact of individual success on the broader community in sports L Duncan really goes after the critics of Caitlyn Clark calling their comments ridiculous she firmly believes it's absurd to claim that Clark is getting unfair recognition instead Duncan highlights that
Clark has had an exceptional and gamechanging season this praise from a well-respected sports figure carries weight however not everyone agrees with Duncan some say she's ignoring other talented players like AA Wilson and NECA auum arguing that her support for Clark distracts from other deserving athletes the debate is definitely heating up Duncan isn't the only one standing up for Caitlyn Clark other media figures and some WNBA players are joining in too they believe that the backlash against Clark might stem from jealousy or simply a misunderstanding of her influence on the game it seems like many are
recognizing that her success is significant for the sport and they're pushing back against the negativity directed at her Ellie Duncan is defending Caitlyn Clark because it's about more than just one player or one award she's challenging the notion that celebrating Talent harms equality Duncan believes we can recognize Clark's outstanding season while still valuing all the other incredible athletes in the league it's really about advancing women's basketball and not letting small disagreements hold the sport back the conversation took an unexpected turn when she shared her thoughts on social media making it clear that this issue is
bigger than just individual accolades let's break down why some think AA Wilson deserves Time magazine's athlete of the year she scored over 1,000 points in the WNBA season which is impressive and she also won an Olympic gold medal with Team USA sounds like a strong case right but hold on the Las Vegas Aces had a tough year finishing 10 games worse than last season and getting eliminated from the playoffs early that might hurt Wilson's chances especially when comparing her impact to Caitlyn Clark's Stellar performance this year you might be thinking what about that Olympic gold
medal here's something you might not know Team USA completely crushed it in women's basketball they were so dominant that even though individual players had great performances they didn't really stand out it's kind of like being the star player on a a team that's already way ahead of everyone else Caitlyn Clark had an incredible College season averaging 27 points per game which is nothing short of phenomenal she wasn't just excelling she was smashing records throughout her time on the court from January to September giving her more opportunities to Showcase her Talent compared to AA Wilson's shorter
WNBA season what sets Clark apart is her ability to attract new fans to women's basketball drawing in viewers who had never watched before while Wilson's one 000000 Point season is impressive Clark's influence on the sport and her ability to elevate it truly stand out when considering the athlete of the Year title the controversy surrounding Caitlyn Clark is significant because it goes beyond just her or a single award it's about the future of women's basketball her achievements are shaking things up and attracting new fans to the sport making people pay attention to the WNBA like never
before there's no doubt that women's basketball is entering a new chapter because of her influence Clark is prompting in everyone to rethink how they promote players and deal with issues in the sport the WNBA is at a crucial moment and Clark is just the start of something big for women's basketball
