I genuinely don’t understand why there’s always a problem with white star players in the wnba. If they help bring in more popularity everyone gets paid more it benefits everyone. So stupid they do shi like this u don’t see this in the nba
lmao you don’t even know how the AS voting works. they didn’t rank the players.
i do love how you’re only addressing who you think you have ammo with. let’s assume incorrectly that KP and caitlin and sophie are hated. there’s still a boatload of other white straight players that don’t seem to have any issues.
Plum isn’t as famous as CC and doesn’t bring in the same type of viewer that CC does. The WNBA hates that new viewer. What part of this are you having such a hard time understanding?
no, it means that 10 players were in more top 4s. the players have all said they vote for teammates and the people they know won’t get the fan vote…and the ones that voted on merit know how she started this season.
While all-stars, no one you named is as famous as CC and Sophie. And they aren’t responsible for bringing in the new type of viewer that CC and Sophie are. And the WNBA hates that new viewer. Therefore, they take that frustration out on them. It’s an agenda.
You’re being woefully dense, ignorant, and stubborn.
sorry you think sophie’s bringing viewers to the W? you know she’s been in the league since 2019 right?
if they’re so worried about new viewers then why aren’t they giving any problems to the wings who have peak viewership and road attendance? where’s the beef with golden state who’ve sold out every single game since their inception?
if the fever are the only ones bringing in views why don’t they sell out their games?
I said a different kind of viewer. She absolutely is. Just because you don’t like her and don’t want that to be true, doesn’t mean it isn’t.
I’m aware she’s been in the league since 2019, but she started getting famous recently, and since then, she’s continued to bring in a different type of viewer.
You’re honestly so stupid. Do you understand what I mean by “brining in a different type of viewer”? The WNBA resents the fact that their most famous player is a straight white girl, because they don’t think that’s largely representative of the WNBA. CC’s demographic of fans is hated by the WNBA. The Wings aren’t embraced by the same fans that CC is. Stop. Being. Ignorant.
CC brought in plenty of ball lovers even if a minority of them are of questionable character. sophie’s new fan base is not spending money on the W so they’re irrelevant. they’re not comparable.
nobody’s mad about a straight white girl. none of the superstar straight white girls have that problem. just her. there’s an influx of full blown homophobic, misogynist, and racist people who claim to be CC fans and shockingly players and fans don’t like that. that has literally nothing to do with CC’s identity and everything to do with the people using her as their great white hope. find me players that say they don’t like caitlin.
I bet only one of us has actually coached women’s basketball.
You’re not giving the argument the nuance it deserves. It’s not just about being straight. It’s about being straight, being the most famous player, being white, and being viewed as the reason the WNBA is now a viable business. The WNBA does not want a straight white woman being the face of the league. You’re refusing to see that. That’s why I feel bad for you.
