Have you heard the news? The Indiana

0:03

Fever, the WNBA,

0:06

they're struggling to sell out the

0:08

Indiana Fever's first home game of the

0:11

season. They're struggling to sell

0:15

tickets for Caitlyn Clark.

0:19

That's not a good omen. That's a sign

0:22

that the WNBA

0:24

is about to potentially crash and burn.

0:27

that they've probably already burned up

0:31

the goodwill that Caitlyn Clark earned

0:33

them by entering into the league. If

0:36

they've diminished the star of Caitlyn

0:40

Clark, what they've really diminished is

0:43

the entire league.

0:45

>> YOU DONE MESSED UP A AON. AND here's

0:48

what's critical with this new CBA

0:51

agreement with many of these players or

0:54

enough of these players earning 7 figure

0:58

salaries, high six figure salaries being

1:02

treated like they're actually generating

1:05

revenue and running a profitable

1:07

business. They're no longer going to get

1:09

the benefit of the doubt. Women's

1:12

basketball has always been given the

1:15

benefit of the doubt. I'm not talking

1:17

about from the NBA that finances the

1:19

league. I'm talking about from fans like

1:22

me and you. Look at us. Hey, look at us.

1:26

Look at us. Huh? Who would have thought?

1:28

Not me. Those of us, yeah, it's bad

1:32

basketball, but they're not being paid

1:34

that much. Well, now that Aaliyah

1:38

Boston's making seven figures, Asia

1:42

Wilson's making seven figures, and

1:44

several of these other players are

1:46

making seven figures. Uh, no benefit of

1:49

the doubt anymore. People are going to

1:51

want their money's worth, and the WNBA

1:54

can't give it to them.

1:56

>> Not with my money. And when you don't

1:58

feel good about the players, when these

2:00

players are walking around making seven

2:03

figure salaries, pretending like they're

2:05

superstar celebrities, pretending like

2:08

they're just the same as NBA players,

2:11

all the goodwill is going to disappear.

2:15

It's going to evaporate. We already see

2:17

it in Indiana with Caitlyn Clark. The

2:22

goodwill is gone. the hey, we're part of

2:24

a movement and women's basketball's on

2:27

the rise. No. Women's basketball in the

2:30

WNBA and professionals, it's bloated.

2:33

It's overrated. It's hot garbage that's

2:37

being paid like it's

2:40

pristine and some prized possession. And

2:43

we're seeing some form of basketball

2:45

that we can't get any place else. Well,

2:49

you can get it at your local junior high

2:50

for free.

2:55

Go.

2:56

>> You can get it at your local church

2:59

league.

3:00

>> I come to the church. Look what I'm

3:02

telling. A guy jumped all on my back and

3:04

he going to tell me he going to pray for

3:05

me. No, that's a foul.

3:06

>> YMCA league.

3:08

>> Shoot down at the virus.

3:11

>> [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] You think people

3:14

want to pay for a group of players that

3:18

hate them and hate America and have

3:22

portrayed themselves as victims and

3:25

blackmailed and guilt trip their way

3:27

into a sevenf figure salary.

3:30

>> Don't give if y'all don't give us what

3:31

we want. Like we said, I

3:34

>> I'm I'm If you can't sell out the

3:36

Indiana Fevers first home game and

3:39

you're basically having to reduce

3:40

prices, give tickets away to see Caitlyn

3:43

Clark, that is an indicator, not just

3:46

that Caitlyn Clark has lost her star

3:48

power. It's an indicator that the entire

3:51

league is teetering at the brink of an

3:54

uprising and a backlash that's really

3:57

long overdue.

3:59

>> It's about damn time.

4:03

It's about damn time.

4:05

>> I I I got to say for me, I I'm not

4:08

nearly as excited about the start of

4:10

Caitlyn's season, the reason for the

4:13

season. I'm not nearly as excited as I

4:16

used to be. not only has my uh passion

4:20

for the WNBA, but even my passion for

4:23

Caitlyn Clark as they have forced her

4:27

to mimic andor adopt their values and

4:31

she it's guilt by association. Caitlyn

4:34

Clark hasn't really said anything all

4:36

that offensive.

4:38

>> We're down 15. Are you kidding me? I

4:40

didn't even know that.

4:41

>> But she seems no different than the rest

4:43

of the players. and the rest of the

4:45

players I've never liked.

4:47

>> I know there's been so many amazing

4:48

black women that have been in this

4:50

league and continuing to uplift them I

4:52

think is very important. And

4:53

>> they forced Caitlyn Clark to pretend

4:55

like she is the rest of them. And then

4:58

I've watched the Indiana Fever build a

5:02

team

5:03

around Caitlyn Clark that diminishes

5:06

Caitlyn Clark. And it's like the Indiana

5:09

Fever are preparing for the end of

5:12

Caitlyn Clark and to get rid of Caitlyn

5:15

Clark and not have her be the star of

5:17

that team, the unquestioned star of that

5:20

team. If the Indiana Fever are out on

5:23

Caitlyn Clark and by the looks of their

5:26

draft, drafting this Raven Johnson,

5:28

loading up their roster with a bunch of

5:30

guards,

5:32

they're preparing to move on from

5:35

Caitlyn Clark or to deemphasize Caitlyn

5:37

Clark.

5:38

>> Oh, hell no.

5:40

>> I'm prepared, like the rest of you, to

5:44

deemphasize my passion for the WNBA.

5:47

This fall can't happen quick enough.

5:52

I admit it. I'm an idiot. I'm still an

5:55

idiot and I'll probably always be an

5:57

idiot. And this time being an idiot made

6:00

me give up on LeBron James.

6:03

>> But I believe he wasn't educated on on

6:05

on the situation at hand

6:07

>> and sacrifice a $1,000 bet I made with

6:11

Jay Scapadnick. Scap attack.

6:14

>> Previously on Fearless.

6:15

>> They win in the

6:17

If every if the big three stay healthy,

6:20

they certainly get out of the first

6:23

round of the playoffs. If they do not

6:25

get out of the first round of the

6:26

playoffs, I'll send you $1,000.

6:30

Now, if they win a second round series,

6:36

what and what will you

6:39

send me?

6:40

>> We we could we could just do it a thou

6:42

for a thou if you want. And then Luca

6:45

and Austin Reeves got hurt and I lost my

6:49

courage. I lost what I believed in and I

6:53

folded and talked Scap into letting me

6:57

get out of the bet.

6:59

>> Previously on Fearless.

7:01

>> Should Scap

7:03

uh cut me a break on our Lakers bet now

7:07

that Lucas hurt, Austin Reeves is hurt?

7:11

I mean, doesn't he owe me uh some

7:14

sympathy here? Uh

7:16

>> yeah, I'm gonna I'll let you off the

7:17

hook on this one. We we we can quelch

7:19

the bet here, I think, officially on

7:21

air.

7:23

>> Now, the Lakers are up 20 on the Houston

7:26

Rockets. LeBron looks completely

7:29

revitalized. The Lakers have figured out

7:32

how to defend the Houston Rockets and

7:35

particularly Kevin Durant. They got a

7:37

commanding 200 lead. Uh, and it looks

7:42

like they're going to win this series.

7:44

>> No.

7:48

>> Emmy Udoka looks over his head against

7:51

JJ Reic. Everybody else besides Kevin

7:54

Durant looks like trash. Even Kevin

7:56

Durant looks like trash. Marcus Smart is

7:59

killing him defensively.

8:02

And then the Lakers have unpacked

8:05

another exciting white in Luke Canard.

8:10

>> That dude, oh uh Luke Canard, that dude

8:12

right there is ridiculous.

8:15

>> Okay,

8:21

>> this is incred. How many exciting whites

8:24

can the Los Angeles Lakers have? It

8:27

hasn't been snowing this much in Los

8:28

Angeles since Jerry West heyday with the

8:32

Lakers.

8:33

>> I like it.

8:35

>> This is absolutely incredible.

8:38

I'm the guy that's been sitting here

8:41

championing. Hey, look, the exciting

8:43

whites, they're everywhere. They're

8:45

taking over sports. And when the Lakers

8:48

lose two of their exciting whites, Luca

8:52

and Austin Reeves, I give up. I'm like

8:54

everybody else. No way. Luke Canard is a

8:58

is an exciting white.

9:08

>> Is he a a Caitlyn Clark type? Is he

9:12

what's what's the name of the hockey
