Preach Rachelle! When you hear takes like this from Geno, think classic narcissist, that he IS the answer to any shortcomings someone else may have, and he CAN help them "manage" it better. What an arrogant jerk! #CaitlinClark is the #BabyGoat
Geno Auriemma, who didn’t even bother recruiting Caitlin Clark, is editorializing how her college stardom was “tough” for her to go through. Really?? Was Lisa Bluder calling up Geno and having coaches therapy about her superstar that he passed on?? What a weak / patronizing narrative. Caitlin Clark put Iowa basketball on the MAP. Her name gets dropped in Congressional hearings. She is hanging out with Taylor Swift at Chiefs games, making commercials with Cookie Monster, and has the hottest Nike shoe on the planet. Caitlin is a generational superstar and Geno can’t take any credit for her success. I’m sure that drives him crazy.

Been away for a bit, wondering thoughts...I legit don't know Sheri Sam, so I'm inquiring! I've heard positives but doesn't she have Indy ties? How is this not Dunn @IndianaFever status quo? Why is this a good move now? @DayDreamThis @SportsPatriotUS @lindacohn

One of the worst contracts in sports.

Oof, this is the version of basketball the @WNBA prefers and promotes, not because it's any good, but it fits their narrative and agenda. They'd rather be perpetually bad at their sport, with the "right identity" than welcome in a more exciting brand of basketball! 😭

I know you like to troll 😉 but there's nothing here from a data perspective...too small sample size AND the LOSS in your 2-1 comparison, is higher usage than one of the wins. Meaning, statistically insignificant, and the data contradicts itself!
Highest usage + game result for the Atlanta Dream in the WNBA Finals ⬇️ Game 1: Allisha Gray | 32.9 USG -- LOST Game 2: Angel Reese | 28.8 USG -- WON Game 3: Rhyne Howard | 24.2 USG -- WON Game 4: Angel Reese | 29.6 USG -- LOST Game 5: Jordin Canada | 25.0 USG -- LOST Game 6: Angel Reese | 34.2 USG -- WON The Atlanta Dream are 2-1 when Angel Reese leads in usage rate. They are 1-2 when it's anybody else. Does this mean anything 🤔

The @WNBA has never had viewership, money, or attendance as @NBA...until #CaitlinClark! Is league entitled to special treatment? Besides, isn't men coming to the rescue antiquated, patriarchal, and misogynistic? Being a perpetual victim, looking for a villain is getting old.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. During the 2015 WNBA playoffs, while playing for the NY Liberty, we were forced to play back-to-back playoff games against Washington and Indiana. Fast forward to 2026, Game 6 of the WNBA Finals is being played at 12:30pm on a Thursday to accommodate an NBA regular-season game. Different circumstances, same underlying issue. At what point do we address the structural sexism embedded in women’s sports?

Most of the ladies in the @WNBA get all up in their feels, can't recognize greatness b/c of the petty jealousy and entitlement! #CaitlinClark #BabyGoat

Why would @AnnieCostabile and @TheAthletic highlight anybody BUT CC fans as toxic? It doesn't fit their @nytimes ideological and political narratives!
Angel Reese fans being very toxic as usual and I don't see Annie Costabile anywhere writing article about it.

I am begging #CCFC #CaitlinClark fans to stop engaging trolls like this, they aren't legit media, just trying to gaslight and rage bait you into clicks! Yes, call out @WNBA media surrogates on @ESPN @usatodaysports @TheAthletic but don't give CC merchants attention! Plz & ty!

A friend of mine just confirmed his company is bribing employees with FREE tickets AND a full paid day off just to get bodies into State Farm Arena for Game 6 this Thursday. But here is the kicker: you only get the free perk if you contractually promise to stay for at least three quarters so the cameras can clip a "packed house." The league created a scheduling disaster, and now multi-million dollar corporate write-offs are being used as a shield to hide the fact that nobody is paying real money to skip work for this midday slot. This isn't grass-roots growth; it's a completely subsidized, top-down operation to manufacture a narrative that doesn't exist.

Wait?!?!? I didn't think @WNBA needed @NBA to come to the rescue? How antiquated, patriarchal, and misogynistic to think women need men for anything!
The NBA wants the WNBA to grow, so why is potentially its biggest game of the season scheduled for a Thursday afternoon? The WNBA has gone from tax write-off to golden goose status, and deserves to be fought for. ✍️ @CandaceDBuckner nyti.ms/3USlBQn

From @TheAthletic: The WNBA’s Game 6 in Atlanta, which will tip off at 12:30 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, isn’t some quirky matinee on the sports calendar, our columnist writes. This is a massive blunder and missed opportunity for the NBA. nyti.ms/47QIV3Z

Dear @AtlantaDream what urgency/attention do you deserve? Are you saying identity entitles @WNBA to privileged consideration despite the economic/logistical inconvenience to others? Do you want equal opportunity w/@NBA or the platform to cry b/c you don't have equal outcomes?
Dream ownership on arena situation in open letter to Atlanta: "Two months ago, when the WNBA finalized playoff dates and times, we raised concerns that the W Finals schedule conflicted with NBA games at State Farm Arena ... Our concerns did not receive the attention, nor the urgency that they deserved."

This is the goal of a #DEI mentality and media surrogates. They're not interested in creating equal opportunity, but demanding equal outcomes! Who cares if @NBA draws, earns, and are watched more. The @WNBA must be propped up, and if you disagree, well, you are misogynistic.
I have argued for YEARS that the NBA does not treat the WNBA like a premier product & this is just one more example. Every single player should be furious about this — and they should say it.

When your racist bias can't see through on court play! 🤦 The mindset to think @WNBA favors #CaitlinClark over their ideological WOKE agenda is next level psychological disorder! The surrogate media and W are all in to stop CC, they just don't have good players to do it!
