Caitlin Clark Ticket Sales Foreshadow WNBA Collapse
完整文本记录
Have you heard the news? The Indiana
Fever, the WNBA,
they're struggling to sell out the
Indiana Fever's first home game of the
season. They're struggling to sell
tickets for Caitlyn Clark.
That's not a good omen. That's a sign
that the WNBA
is about to potentially crash and burn.
that they've probably already burned up
the goodwill that Caitlyn Clark earned
them by entering into the league. If
they've diminished the star of Caitlyn
Clark, what they've really diminished is
the entire league.
>> YOU DONE MESSED UP A AON. AND here's
what's critical with this new CBA
agreement with many of these players or
enough of these players earning 7 figure
salaries, high six figure salaries being
treated like they're actually generating
revenue and running a profitable
business. They're no longer going to get
the benefit of the doubt. Women's
basketball has always been given the
benefit of the doubt. I'm not talking
about from the NBA that finances the
league. I'm talking about from fans like
me and you. Look at us. Hey, look at us.
Look at us. Huh? Who would have thought?
Not me. Those of us, yeah, it's bad
basketball, but they're not being paid
that much. Well, now that Aaliyah
Boston's making seven figures, Asia
Wilson's making seven figures, and
several of these other players are
making seven figures. Uh, no benefit of
the doubt anymore. People are going to
want their money's worth, and the WNBA
can't give it to them.
>> Not with my money. And when you don't
feel good about the players, when these
players are walking around making seven
figure salaries, pretending like they're
superstar celebrities, pretending like
they're just the same as NBA players,
all the goodwill is going to disappear.
It's going to evaporate. We already see
it in Indiana with Caitlyn Clark. The
goodwill is gone. the hey, we're part of
a movement and women's basketball's on
the rise. No. Women's basketball in the
WNBA and professionals, it's bloated.
It's overrated. It's hot garbage that's
being paid like it's
pristine and some prized possession. And
we're seeing some form of basketball
that we can't get any place else. Well,
you can get it at your local junior high
for free.
Go.
>> You can get it at your local church
league.
>> I come to the church. Look what I'm
telling. A guy jumped all on my back and
he going to tell me he going to pray for
me. No, that's a foul.
>> YMCA league.
>> Shoot down at the virus.
>> [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] You think people
want to pay for a group of players that
hate them and hate America and have
portrayed themselves as victims and
blackmailed and guilt trip their way
into a sevenf figure salary.
>> Don't give if y'all don't give us what
we want. Like we said, I
>> I'm I'm If you can't sell out the
Indiana Fevers first home game and
you're basically having to reduce
prices, give tickets away to see Caitlyn
Clark, that is an indicator, not just
that Caitlyn Clark has lost her star
power. It's an indicator that the entire
league is teetering at the brink of an
uprising and a backlash that's really
long overdue.
>> It's about damn time.
It's about damn time.
>> I I I got to say for me, I I'm not
nearly as excited about the start of
Caitlyn's season, the reason for the
season. I'm not nearly as excited as I
used to be. not only has my uh passion
for the WNBA, but even my passion for
Caitlyn Clark as they have forced her
to mimic andor adopt their values and
she it's guilt by association. Caitlyn
Clark hasn't really said anything all
that offensive.
>> We're down 15. Are you kidding me? I
didn't even know that.
>> But she seems no different than the rest
of the players. and the rest of the
players I've never liked.
>> I know there's been so many amazing
black women that have been in this
league and continuing to uplift them I
think is very important. And
>> they forced Caitlyn Clark to pretend
like she is the rest of them. And then
I've watched the Indiana Fever build a
team
around Caitlyn Clark that diminishes
Caitlyn Clark. And it's like the Indiana
Fever are preparing for the end of
Caitlyn Clark and to get rid of Caitlyn
Clark and not have her be the star of
that team, the unquestioned star of that
team. If the Indiana Fever are out on
Caitlyn Clark and by the looks of their
draft, drafting this Raven Johnson,
loading up their roster with a bunch of
guards,
they're preparing to move on from
Caitlyn Clark or to deemphasize Caitlyn
Clark.
>> Oh, hell no.
>> I'm prepared, like the rest of you, to
deemphasize my passion for the WNBA.
This fall can't happen quick enough.
I admit it. I'm an idiot. I'm still an
idiot and I'll probably always be an
idiot. And this time being an idiot made
me give up on LeBron James.
>> But I believe he wasn't educated on on
on the situation at hand
>> and sacrifice a $1,000 bet I made with
Jay Scapadnick. Scap attack.
>> Previously on Fearless.
>> They win in the
If every if the big three stay healthy,
they certainly get out of the first
round of the playoffs. If they do not
get out of the first round of the
playoffs, I'll send you $1,000.
Now, if they win a second round series,
what and what will you
send me?
>> We we could we could just do it a thou
for a thou if you want. And then Luca
and Austin Reeves got hurt and I lost my
courage. I lost what I believed in and I
folded and talked Scap into letting me
get out of the bet.
>> Previously on Fearless.
>> Should Scap
uh cut me a break on our Lakers bet now
that Lucas hurt, Austin Reeves is hurt?
I mean, doesn't he owe me uh some
sympathy here? Uh
>> yeah, I'm gonna I'll let you off the
hook on this one. We we we can quelch
the bet here, I think, officially on
air.
>> Now, the Lakers are up 20 on the Houston
Rockets. LeBron looks completely
revitalized. The Lakers have figured out
how to defend the Houston Rockets and
particularly Kevin Durant. They got a
commanding 200 lead. Uh, and it looks
like they're going to win this series.
>> No.
>> Emmy Udoka looks over his head against
JJ Reic. Everybody else besides Kevin
Durant looks like trash. Even Kevin
Durant looks like trash. Marcus Smart is
killing him defensively.
And then the Lakers have unpacked
another exciting white in Luke Canard.
>> That dude, oh uh Luke Canard, that dude
right there is ridiculous.
>> Okay,
>> this is incred. How many exciting whites
can the Los Angeles Lakers have? It
hasn't been snowing this much in Los
Angeles since Jerry West heyday with the
Lakers.
>> I like it.
>> This is absolutely incredible.
I'm the guy that's been sitting here
championing. Hey, look, the exciting
whites, they're everywhere. They're
taking over sports. And when the Lakers
lose two of their exciting whites, Luca
and Austin Reeves, I give up. I'm like
everybody else. No way. Luke Canard is a
is an exciting white.
>> Is he a a Caitlyn Clark type? Is he
what's what's the name of the hockey
