POLL: Caitlin Clark took a finger to the eye, intentional or not? (See link for clip)

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

RalphWiggam

2:26pm

I am not a big fan of the league, and root for the local team, but

Archaea

2:28pm

That seems weird.

bluecheese

2:32pm

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

2:36pm

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........

Rusty Crab Daddy

3:01pm

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.

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

4:03pm

agree it is not a great product. I don't feel any obligation or duty to be

oryguncoug

4:16pm

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...

bluecheese

2:25pm

RE: Archaea right now...

BYUMizzou

2:26pm

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

2:29pm

RE: Well there is one reason she is promoted

DiamondMo

2:30pm

You sound defensive.

Archaea

2:31pm

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

2:23pm

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

DiamondMo

2:28pm

Yep. We need JT to weigh in.

Spiff

7:06pm

She goes right into her eye like a guided missile.
