POLL: Caitlin Clark took a finger to the eye, intentional or not? (See link for clip)
IGlowInTheDark
2:13pm
Why is this the Caitlin Clark board? A'ja repeated as the unanimous league MVP
Archaea
2:17pm
Is A'ja the best player in the WNBA? Probably...
bluecheese
2:21pm
And the CC hype is hurting the game.
Archaea
2:22pm
No. The obscene about of missed layups, inexplicable turnovers, and bad shots is

I am not a big fan of the league, and root for the local team, but
Archaea
2:28pm
That seems weird.

Steph has a few NBA titles to his name, All Pros and League MVPs. LBJ has how
Archaea
2:33pm
But you obviously weren't impressed by Steph until he got the ring.
Russell Feathers
2:34pm
Not really, I wasn't. His rings showed he could play under pressure
Archaea
2:36pm
Which is why Robert Horry should beat out MJ and Lebron for GOAT.
Eddie
2:38pm
Did I state it was the only criterion? No, but to be considered great, you must
Archaea
2:41pm
So John Stockton wasn’t great? Karl Malone wasn’t great? Charles Barkley
RalphWiggam
2:43pm
Individual stats are fine. My definition is different than yours.
Archaea
2:47pm
But you said "this year". Your criteria excludes a lot of guys.
bluecheese
2:43pm
You don't like that people cheer for her, so you have determined that you will
Russell Feathers
2:34pm
I don't like the reason they cheer for her.
Archaea
2:35pm
What is the reason they cheer for her?
RalphWiggam

RE: What is the reason they cheer for her?
Archaea
2:38pm
So I’ll gather you think it’s a racism thing? Maybe a small handful of wackos
RalphWiggam
2:42pm
If you haven't watched before, how can you say she does things nobody else has
Archaea
2:43pm
Please tell us you're keeping a list of all the people you think are racist
BYUMizzou
2:45pm
Your words, not mine.
Archaea
2:47pm
Dude, you're nuts. CC blew up way before she was drafted. She was on Sports-
BYUMizzou
2:54pm
They were promoting her senselessly. It was over the top for no reason, because
Archaea
2:56pm
Then your beef should be with ESPN and all the TV/Print/Radio/Internet sports
BYUMizzou
2:58pm
Didn’t she break the ncaa scoring record? Am I misremembering?
SpecialT
2:58pm
Oh yeah, she did do that. She scored more points in college basketball than any
BYUMizzou
3:00pm
Ya, but she's white, so........

Thanks to the 3 point line. I wonder if Cheryl Miller had had the three point
Archaea
3:02pm
RE: Thanks to the 3 point line. I wonder if Cheryl Miller had had the three
BYUMizzou
3:08pm
But your argument is that she received attention and promotion only because she is a white athlete in a sport dominated
SpecialT
5:32pm
I know where she wouldn’t have been.
Russell Feathers
5:47pm
Who has done what she has done? Who consistently pulls the trigger from beyond
RalphWiggam
2:53pm
Cheryl Miller was the first women's player that played like a man.
Archaea
2:55pm
Cheryl Miller was a phenomenal player. She never played in the WNBA of course
RalphWiggam
3:02pm
I am not the student of the WNBA
Archaea
3:04pm
Good heavens man!! No one is arguing Miller wasn’t a better player! Stop
RalphWiggam
3:15pm
Or you root for Caitlin Clark because she's the best player in that league.
BlueFever
2:46pm
Nobody but people who don't follow the league believe that.
Archaea
2:50pm
You got me there. I haven't given the WNBA one second of my time and it'll stay
BlueFever
6:58pm
So you will root for her when she starts to win-textbook bandwagon fan.
kalifi
2:50pm
No. I would only root for her if she joined the Las Vegas Aces.
Archaea
2:53pm
Never heard of Aja
JohnnyComeLately
2:56pm
Unanimous MVP of the League and she's on the commercial with Dick's and Mahomes.
Archaea
3:03pm
Same.
BYUMizzou
3:09pm
It’s too bad Aja isn’t as popular and well known as the Face of women’s basketball.
JohnnyComeLately
3:11pm
Same, also haven’t watched one second of any WNBA game probably ever.
Swag Kazekage
3:16pm
It's not a great product most of the time. You force yourself to watch because
Archaea
3:23pm
Who says you are "supposed to be supportive"? I don't give two craps about the WNBA, nobody tells me what I am supposed
Swag Kazekage
4:03pm
agree it is not a great product. I don't feel any obligation or duty to be

Why don't you just say what we all know you're thinking?
byujacob
3:18pm
The hate is strong in that league.
BlueFever
2:18pm
If that was intentional, she has the best body control and hand/eye coordination I've ever seen.
Byron McNertney
2:19pm
While that may be true...
Eddie
2:28pm
Haven't watched any games, but see plenty of highlights. WNBA is pretty catty.
bluecheese
2:19pm
truly doubt anyone is out to "get" CC. CC had a very good rookie year but she's
Archaea
2:21pm
She is the only reason anyone cares at all about the WNBA.
bluecheese
2:21pm
rolls eyes.
Archaea
2:22pm
Archaea right now...

RE: Archaea right now...
BYUMizzou

Maybe "main reason" is better phrasing. Look at ratings, attendance, viewership
oryguncoug
2:27pm
Even CB there is way more WNBA talk because of Caitlin Clark- I think this might
acougfan
2:34pm
She's literally the only WNBA player I can name. Nobody cares about the WNBA
BYUMizzou
2:25pm
Well there is one reason she is promoted
Archaea

RE: Well there is one reason she is promoted
Rusty Crab Daddy
2:32pm
To be fair - it started in college.
Eddie
2:34pm
Shes a household name because of what she did 5 months ago in college
DiamondMo
2:38pm
RE: She is the only reason anyone cares at all about the WNBA.
acougfan
2:31pm
You assume people care even with her.
Archaea
2:32pm
Her game interests me a little , which is carryover from her college days and
acougfan
2:49pm
That's a fair comment. I admit the league isn't great, because there is a huge
Archaea
2:52pm
Way too many incedents this year to claim no one is targeting her.
bluesloth

Jonathan Tavernari is the only one qualified to answer eye poke questions
DiamondMo

Yep. We need JT to weigh in.

She goes right into her eye like a guided missile.
