So that's why their fans aren't complaining, genius.

And yet no one is saying Rickea Jackson or Cameron Brink are getting screwed by lack of preseason hype.

Their game is being streamed tonight...

You really have trouble reading between the lines eh

Pick a fucking argument.

You first said nobody wants every game televised. So that would mean you read the tweet as BOTH players should be televised, thus ruining your own argument.

Now youre arguing something completely contradictory to what you first said, and also refusing to read it in context. This tweet is clearly upset that Clark is getting the attention that other players arent.

It's 2024, when I say I want to watch the game, I'm asking for availability. Even if I didn't, I'm one person. If I need to specify it for someone like you, whatever. You took everything I said and boiled it down to an issue of language. Good for you.

Youre bad at this.

You're right, I'm not good at discussing the subject in bad faith.

There is nothing unique about Cardoso or Reese. They are great players, but would anyone be mad if top 10 draft picks didn't get national hype in the preseason in any other year?

This is an uncommonly strong draft class for the wnba, even if you took out CC. People understate how nil deals helped to grow and promote star players. It's all relevant and people shouldn't be surprised if we see another CC in college soon.

the single tweet with 30 thousand likes that is also the reason this topic exists.

Yeah, move the goal posts because you apparently didnt read the first post of this topic.

Nothing in that original tweet says Reese should be televised OVER CC or that CC doesn't deserve to have attention. So who exactly didn't read?

I don't even know why I'm going back and forth with you when you're dead set on propping her up like she's being crucified.

You quite literally said nobody is asking for every game to be televised.

the original tweet is asking why Reese isnt televised, implying that either she should also be televised, or that Clark shouldnt be televised in favor of Reese.

The nobody is saying this doesnt work when the tweet this topic is about is literally saying that about televising it.

Ok then, most, since you want to be finicky and use a single tweet as evidence of the exaggerated agenda against CC you believe.

Some people absolutely are tho, what?

I promise you every Caitlin Clark hate post is not secretly a message towards the wnba higher ups lmao

Show it, because you just sound overprotective of your girl.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Uh, pretty sure the original tweet is quite literally asking why Reeses first game wasnt televised

Who wouldn't want that? People would've gladly settled for a stream though like most wnba preseason games people can actually see.

Like 200k people legit watched the Twitter restream of Clark's sold out preseason game.

Like I said, people tend to see what they want.

It's one fucking game! Shut the fuck up.

Let me break it down for the slow class.

One game isn't irrelevant because this ISN'T A NEW ISSUE. The WNBA is trying to sell their league pass to new viewers. Streaming availability matters with things like this when Reese and Cardoso played for SC and LSU and are now in a gym in MINNESOTA.

You want every eyeball accounted for when selling to ADVERTISERS as the league is primed to grow further.

People watch preseason, that's been established. You would know this if YOU had any interest before 2023.

You're talking like a wbb scholar after attending one class, shut the fuck up.

lilORANG posted...

Does the wnba usually nationally televise all their preseason games?

No one's even asking for that. We're asking for a stream on the app we pay for.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

What? I didnt say anything about criticizing the WNBA front office. There are MANY more posts than just this one that arent happy about Clark getting a lot of buzz and hype.

I think some you fans see what they want to see. CC is bringing attention to disparities and incompetence that already existed. Using her as an example is about overarching issues, not pointing the finger at her.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Weve only gotten 1 preseason game so far. It televised Clark. I just dont think anything has shown it is either or yet.

You'd have a point if the front office had a history of doing things in a way that made sense to both fans and advertisers. Something you would know if you had any investment before this year.

The league didn't even have enough CC jerseys ready to be made, even though everyone knew where she was going. Her fans try to make it a her vs everyone else thing when the crux of the problem is the people in charge.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Id argue a strange amount of people have just as much animosity towards Clark.

And you'd be wrong; criticizing the WNBA front office, who's IN CHARGE of scheduling and promotion, isn't an attack on CC. Issues with how the league does things isn't even a new issue. Fans have been dissatisfied with how the commissioner handles things for years.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Clark fans watching for the first time are the reason WNBA is even relevant in the mainstream rn tho. That cant even be denied.

Read back what I said about promoting both. No one is denying CC is a huge draw. It doesn't have to be either or.

There's a big group of people here and on social media that have a strong animosity towards players not named CC and it's very weird.

CC is great and will do great things for the league, but let's not act like WBB started when she put on an Iowa jersey.

The general point is that you can televise and promote both. There was a blurry phone stream of Reese's game that peaked at 170k viewers. The audience is there.

https://x.com/heyheyitsalli/status/1786547444198621367

Too many (not all) CC fans and people who watched wbb for the first time this year are talking out of their asses without being informed.

LOL.

RIP to one of the goats.

There are legitimate definitions and examples above, though nowadays it's commonly used as an accusatory term by morons who choose not to comprehend that someone they don't politically align with can have morals.

The only people who should be mad about this is baby cousins.
