No one is hating at all, you want to be accepted by her race so bad! Relax sir, you’re always doing the upmost! Both rookies deserved their votes so stop trying to push your “agenda” it takes away from our game! Comparing her to “tiger woods” is ignorantly inaccurate! Timeout
Caitlin Clark haters are punching air right now.
The WNBA All-Star votes says what most of us already knew. Caitlin Clark is the WNBA’s Tiger Woods.
More people watch the W because of her. Period.
Total votes increased by 598% for the top 5 players from 2023 to 2024.

Per usual you’re wrong! This post had nothing to do with CC which y’all love to think so! I think TC recorded back yesterday via when I posted this check the time stamp before speaking out of turn! CC recorded her Triple double today so move around
@AP_Slush24
I’ll take a humble stab. Assuming you’re contrasting this with the response to Caitlin Clark’s triple-double, it’s probably because Clark is responsible for a spike in popularity for her excellent and exciting style of play. And she just did something no rookie has ever done.

Takeaway from opening day:
1. Some players who didn’t go overseas to play and stayed home didn’t focus on the development part of their game!
2. Rosters looking good on paper need more time to figure it out
3. Aces are in rare form even without their general on the floor

Flau'jae on all the attention Caitlin Clark has received:
“Say what you want, she’s a star… America has gravitated to her and it’s only putting the women up more and more so I love it… it’s going to give more opportunities for women like me coming up..”
