Every time you think the WNBA drama can’t get any more dramatic, it finds another level. The WNBA commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, was asked a question about the fan behavior, specifically that of Caitlin Clark’s fans and Angel Reese’s fans. Let’s just say, the Caitlin Clark haters did not like her response. Let’s talk about it!
Caitlin Clark, the #1 overall pick in the WNBA draft has completely upended the entire league. She’s shattering records both on the court, in viewership, live attendance, and even merchandise sales. From selling out WNBA All-Star jerseys in mere minutes to selling out of her Wilson basketball ‘Limitless” signature series in hours, she’s revolutionizing women’s basketball.

Hows about we sort out a two yr long issue with if Becky outta be employed or not instead of worrying about Clark denouncing annonymous internet trolls every day.
Yo cuz, you're too late. Reece tweeted that she's tired of dating black guys. The simpdom is falling as we speak. She even went so far as to like several tiktok vids of black women saying how they would only date white men from now on. Rats are jumping ship, cats and dogs are sleeping together, mass hysteria. Upside… CC appears to have gained some new fans.
"When it comes to fans, it is a fan’s right to have whatever opinion they want to have, and people are going to be upset, especially when we’re talking about books or games because you’re never going to be the exact person they had in their head… I don’t necessarily consider that toxic. I just consider that passion." Henry Cavill.
I think this translates to sports fans too.
We all know who wants to sensor social media the Democrats are Very comfortable, trying to censor peoples thoughts and actions unfortunately, most wokesters are Demrats
When you want to expand your audience, from which you derive your income, insult them.
Brilliant move.
I will leave the WNBA to rot in the gutter if it does not clean up its act.
CHICKS , I know this is not the topic but I grabbed the last video. I literally cannot watch anymore. I love Kaitlyn Clark’s intuitive passing and play for periods of the game. However, there’s 40% of the game I would say it’s a combination of her being not aggressive, bad offensive sets, which I believe they should have sets, and on defense I have watched them play horrible team defense. It looks like these girls none of them have been taught Foundation and fundamentals of playing basketball offense or defense. They must’ve been so much better than the competition that they didn’t have to learn fundamentals. That’s the only thing I can think of.
Defense, I watched AJ Wilson, dribble by Boston who kept up with her mostly but still she had enough separation to get a shot off. This is on the left side while she’s dribbling I see smith, Femi and CC outside the key covering their man. At least one of them should’ve been in the middle of the key. In addition they did not come over to help when Wilson started to drive. One of them should’ve come down to protect the baseline defense.
This happens all game. I just cannot watch anymore. The fundamentals are HORRIBLE. !!! This is why the WNBA does not have a fViewershship. It is a horrible brand of basketball.!!! Kaitlyn has brought Flare and some born in talent for the game, but even she is a part of these things. CHICKs, and Christie sides oh my God, how is she not coaching their defense? Their offense as you said is like a high school offense it’s stagnant. They have this high post all the time as I’ve said the pic is not utilized and sides. Doesn’t tell her players how to use it. I can go on and on there’s at least 15 to 20 things that I would call out my 14-year-old players, it’s bad and I am to the point of not wanting to watch it is just horrible.
They don’t know who the past, who to pass to in certain situations, who to pass to in certain placement or on the run or with the back to the basket or so many scenarios . I can’t take it. Please bring me down off the ledge.!!!!
I'm starting to wish the NBA season would get here so I can go watch some good basketball without all this crap that comes with the WNBA. I'm fed up and tired of their tired league.
Loved her answer. Give Cathy a raise.
You make me laugh! Love your content!
AR fans and league been obvious with their anti white stuff from beginning. So stop with race bs stop giving such a small percentage of people so much power. The word racist is losing weight fr
I just finished creating account number 483 to sub your channel.
I have not once harassed any player or other media personality online for any of this. I don't have any social media accounts except for this one on YouTube. Even if I did have accounts, I have zero desire to message any player, even CC.
I speak my opinion regarding Reese's play and her attitude. Bigoted comments are ridiculous and wrong. No need to go there.
That said, if they don't want my money, I can stop watching and not buy any more Fever merchandise.
Its good you activist coaches and players, you want your lousy league back, about ready to give up on it.
If Engelbert should call out anyone it should be the players who despise fans (they lump all fans together) and try to troll them back on social media. Where would any of them be without fans? They would be working regular jobs like the rest of us, not playing basketball.
The Commissioner should be fired!!! She could care less about player safety!!!!!
SHE PROMOTES VIOLANCE ON THE COURT$$$$$$$$
Subscribe & Like! It is easy & you can choose not get notifications. Trust me, this guy is a great analyst!
I’m not understanding. CC said she doesn’t like the hate and don’t condone it. I believe it was after a game
Women in groups become misogynistc. They don't even understand the damage they are doing by turning the WNBA into Mean Girls. It's really sad to see them trying to destroy other women. Unfortunately Clark has lost her shield of staying out of politics by endorsing Kamala. That was a big mistake for her as far as remaining seperate from having to engage in political discussion.
LOL… this commissioner needs to go… she is clueless and ill equipped to lead the league much less handle all of the newfound fame and viewership !!! She just babbles BS … get rid of her … most of the viewers do NOT want the BS drama !!!
When CC22 passively endorsed KH vis a TS X-post commentary – it's bye-bye CC22… smh, I wish it weren't so, but it is what it is…
The bottom line this is about leadership, and there is definitely no leadership in this league. If you ran a business the way they run this league, you wouldn't be in business. They need to fire every single person from the commissioner down and start by heiring serious people. With integrity, credibility, and managerial skills. To reward these failures and make them look like serious individuals is an insult to the fans, and their intelligence, this league is a joke, and their actions so far haven't changed the optics one bit.
Clark needs to leave and go overseas and make money.
How is the commissioner supposed to control fans of any player?,,,
Have u ever met a liberal woman that wasn’t nuts,,,,,
The barefaced cheek to say the league is inclusive, stands together and support each other.
We’ve really seen that with the welcome CC has received from the players, vets, wnba play by play commentators and media.
Who’s rallied behind CC and supported her in her high pressure rookie season?
Hypocrites!
The biggest bunch of cry babies in the universe. Embarrassing
I just cancelled my WNBA subscription to watch their games. I am so done with this nonsense. Is this what they want? Do they want to lose new fans like me because of this censorship and thought control? Sorry, I had a life before the W and I will have a life after the W. I already can’t watch the NFL because of this race thing. At the least the NFL does not have the sexual preference thing.
YO YO lets GOOO cuz!
Wake up this is bigger than Sports.This is aligned with the directive at the U.N. to control the Internet and Free Speech. They are pushing the Narrative that Elon Musk and a free Speech are dangerous and must be monitored by an authoritative body .
Woke
Naive
Broke (since the league started)
Activists
Explains the absurdity of how this league is tryin to impose onto fans
This is getting crazy,all because there’s a new girl that can play basketball , and she’s making bank,better than most before her and those who came up with her.Too bad it’s getting so much like the country’s politics. Live and let live and play the sport you love.
What's wrong with these people? Long before email and social media existed people were nuts. Even Apollo Creed got hate mail for losing to a black dude.
if i may, is there possibly a fan who somehow has a permanent seat behind one of the baskets because it feels like there's an overenthusiastic elementary aged someone belting a high pitched scream during free throws which. . . i mean equally sad nobody can call it what it is but, i mean yeah that would be toxic we'll go with femininity at its finest let's use our words ladies or are we really so big we're going to play with such aggressive passivity as to completely misfire all of our vitriol on the little girl towering over us
I was censored by the Ozian Flying Monkeys at alphagoooglytube for humorously suggesting the Aces would only hire 'L' word players from now on because they fired Hamby for becoming a mom. DH sued and I was wishing her to become very rich and owning half of Las Vegas. Well, I thought it was funny anyway.;-)
Maybe the WNBA can show signs during the games when we can cheer, when we can boo, when we can applaud, when we can dance in our living rooms. That way we would all be in sync and 'appropriate' fans.
And when Clark gets racist abuse from her haters, C R I C K E T S
The NBA did not primarily promote Magic and Byrd because of RACE. Race was a serious sidebar. IT promoted them because of their SKILL SET, their pedigree, their play, their competiveness, and their championships. Both were too very skilled players. Reese is not in the same stratosphere of a player as Caitlin. Reese fuels her fan base to target Clark. Clark has never spoken against Reese or any other player.
