Didn't realize they start so soon after the draft. Solid start

Simp alert.


Before I ban you for trolling and baiting, please explain.

You think it makes a difference because a woman is bouncing the ball? Your VPN won’t make a difference either.


Bro, even women don't like the WNBA. They find it boring. But I guess they all just suffer from "internalized misawguhnee", right?

Besides, it's common wisdom that if anyone enjoys tearing down women and preventing them from succeeding, it's other women. Indeed all of the hype backlash has been from other women.

This is why I hate the modern internet.

You quote a random YT video for your unfounded view on the WNBA and find another baseless way to blame women? You proved my point.

Maybe I've missed it but hating on Clark whilst I think silly I don't think is misogyny. Much like hating on LeBron isn't misandry.

And yes I included lebron with clark on that example because clark is the chosen one. Greatness should always accompany greatness.

She played well for a first game,m. She hit some tough shots but played pretty bad defense (expected for a rookie), make some bad reads and passes (see turnovers) and really wasn’t effective as a point guard. The team looked much better when Wheeler had the ball and ran the show.

Also, Boston got almost zero opportunities in this offense. Could just be bc it’s a preseason game.

Let me ask you this...if you don't like the WNBA, why did you

a) click on this thread and
b) write your stupid, immature post?

Never mind. We all know why.

If you don’t think Caitlin is fun to watch I would question whether you even like basketball as a sport or just the hero star worship aspect of the NBA

From the little i seen Boston didnt impress me much. I liked Wheeler. One of the reasons Iowa was so potent is they knew when to cut; going to take some time to develop chemistry.

Dude where you been bro.

I see haters all over social media.


Case in point: Antonio Brown -- who seems like he should have better things to do, like not making child support payments -- was accosting her a few weeks ago on Twitter until she finally blocked him.


Ya I'm not really on social media so that's why probably why I don't see much. I prefer to avoid idiots just being constantly toxic lol.

She gets nothing but love from the mainstream media at least.

More popular than 80% of NBA Players. The sexists are shaking.

The incessant hating on this forum can get so old. Clark is incredibly entertaining and will do great things for the WNBA. I never watched it before, but I will now. If you don't like the WNBA then don't post. It's that simple.

This place will be better off without sportsguru.

Clark is bringing attention to the sport. She's inspiring a generation of ballers and over the next handful of years those players will enter college, become stars and get to the WNBA and elevate the talent level significantly. If women (and men) just tune in once in awhile it'll help the league gain attendance, sponsors, and maybe it can start making a profit. Player's salaries will increase. People should be happy for this. Not sure why there's so much pushback.

He's never been the same since he got demolished by that dirty hit.
