The Hate & Jealousy Toward Caitlin Clark Will Ruin the WNBA

The WNBA could have a major issue on its hands after Caitlin Clark's ROUGH start to her career.

How should the league take action against this?

I swear, no one is hating on a woman more than another woman. It's unreal lol

As a man viewing the WNBA for the first time, I’m really surprised about the poor officiating. Play is extremely physical but a lot of it looks illegal and hardly anything is called.

" Hey, let's go to the wnba game tonight and see Chennedy Carter play!" Said by Nobody... EVER! 🤣🤣🤣 WNBA players need to wake up

[andrewkerridge]

As a dude I didn’t expect all this catiness and immaturity. Not a good look for new viewers. It doesn’t make women look elite

Some of these ladies would probably rather see the league fail than see CC became the face of the league.

[hotdamn]

Women definitely can be pretty petty. I see it at work all the time. Daily

"what does she bring to the table besides the 3 point shot?" How about a 400% increase in viewership

[hansdladla]

All of this is bizarre. I don't understand why all these ladies are acting so hateful. It's embarrassing and classless

[jcreed]

Thank you Rachel. It is Caitlin Clark and Caitlin Clark alone. Period. These women would rather fail by themselves than succeed with CC. Unbelievable

[scarletspider]

WNBA is a lost cause. They were given a rare gift to be able to market and promote their league and it’s turning into a dumpster fire because they’re so freaking petty and childish.

I knew Caitlin because of her stellar abilities not because of any rivalry the other player claims to be. I only watched WNBA because of Caitlin.

When I was in my 30s, I was the general manager of two erotic dance clubs. You have no idea how petty and bitter women can be toward eachother... especially when measuring other women's success/popularity. It destroys businesses, friendships, partnerships, etc. They would rather see their own income negatively affected than letting an obvious star get the spotlight. 'Rising tides lift all boats' is a concept most women can't comprehend or appreciate.

11 games in 20 days and teammates that will not fight for you. This is going downhill fast

Carter actually played a good game. She could have used all the eyes on Caitlin to make a good impression. Instead, she chose the gutter. The 19 points she scored to lead her team becomes an overlooked side note. This could be a real learning moment for WNBA women who have issues with Clark's popularity. Like it or not, Caitlin brings millions of new eyes to the game. Use the opportunity to up your game and make people want to watch you too. Show people you're a great basketball player...not some violent thug taking their favorite player down in a way that has nothing to do with basketball.

CC has other options. She should leave the joke known as the WNBA and let it continue to fail

[SportsBossMan]

Rachel: You are so spot on with your comments! Every word you spoke caused me to nod my head in agreement and made complete sense. The WNBA has a superstar on their hands - Clark is THE reason any casual observer - and that includes myself - is watching any WNBA games. It's a shame that an obviously jealous Carter loves this spotlight on her. Other than die-hard WNBA fans, who ever heard of her? Her blatant, intentional, unnecessary, dirty foul on Clark was not a "basketball" play as many suggest. This type of act should be punished by the WNBA, plain and simple. Thank you for calling out the pettiness and jealousy that exists and that you have experienced. You've been there - and because of that I totally respect, and agree with, your opinion. Well done!

“…they’d rather lose than pass the ball to her and see her succeed.” — is crazy, but all it takes is one look at the faces of some of her teammates…you can FEEL it. There’s zero cohesion. You can see the envy and the jealousy. I’m curious to see how the team evolves over the season.

[PhotoGeek]

Very well said Rachel. I agree with everything you shared. Thank you! I really hope the WNBA gets their act together.

[Sheribahadur]

I think even her own players are jealous of her because they are NOT defending her, AT ALL. I would have gotten suspended over a foul like Chennedy gave because I would have retaliated and made sure she never did that again, to nobody.

The WNBA was already ruined. Caitlyn has brought it to the light. The WNBA players have taken
the opportunity and the spotlight to show us their hate, and that they are not good people.
