00:01:09.540 of where they put Caitlyn Clark on posters. 1.00
00:01:12.700 The WNBA and the officials need to alter the rules for Caitlyn Clark. 1.00
00:01:16.080 The WNBA and opposing players need to treat Caitlyn Clark more gently. 1.00
00:01:20.300 Caitlyn Clark's coach needs to be cognizant of how she talks to her in public. 1.00
00:01:24.020 Okay, watch this. 1.00
00:01:25.120 Do you see the foul that this other girl did on Kaitlyn Clark and is pushing the head down? 1.00

00:02:16.760 caitlin clark number one number two what this guy was talking about was so selfish and wrong-headed
00:02:23.300 who was he by the way he was an nfl player no no no no no this is emmanuel ancho he was drafted
00:02:29.520 in the uh ancho he was drafted in the sixth round by cleveland he barely played he was hurt and he
00:02:38.300 never was an nfl player barely he didn't play a full season he got traded three times so he tried
00:02:45.880 to make it in the nfl no he tried to make it in the nfl and either his body or his talent didn't
00:02:51.660 get him there one or the other but he never had an enduring position on one team for like a full
00:02:57.940 season without getting hurt and anything and he ultimately was out he was one of many rookies
00:03:02.360 that get to the nfl and don't quite are able to stay happens in basketball too you could give me
00:03:08.440 examples adam and this guy is now a podcast and on media as a pundit and what he was saying was
00:03:15.740 that they don't need her anymore.
00:03:18.860 Why? 1.00
00:03:19.580 Because Caitlin Clark helped the WNBA 1.00
00:03:22.240 get a huge new digital rights and TV deal. 0.99
00:03:26.260 And she helped the salaries go up. 0.52
00:03:28.980 And people hate the fact that she did it.
00:03:32.020 And there's huge jealousy.
00:03:33.460 Why weren't we paid?
00:03:34.740 Why weren't we paid?
00:03:35.680 You heard all kinds of them.
00:03:36.900 And so what he's saying, Pat,
00:03:38.560 he's saying, oh, we don't need her anymore.
00:03:40.760 We got our TV deal.
00:03:42.080 We got the salaries up. 1.00
00:03:43.440 Now you can go away because they're jealous of her. 1.00

00:05:31.120 And by the way, you know, that girl you just showed, what's her name?
00:05:33.060 Sophie Cunningham.

00:05:36.380 The biggest highlight of the NBA is there's a woman pointing at another woman. 0.99
00:05:40.120 That's the best play of the year. 1.00

00:05:51.160 I love what she does.
00:05:52.040 So, anyways, we'll see what will happen here.
00:05:53.360 Do you have any thoughts on this?
00:05:54.200 You think it's just disrespectful.
00:05:55.620 Like, at the end of the day, let's be real here.
00:05:59.000 If Caitlin Clark was not in the NBA, we would not be talking about the NBA.
00:06:02.140 It wouldn't be in our top ten topics.
00:06:03.360 It's still losing money, Adam, every year.
00:06:05.260 It's always going to lose money.
00:06:06.340 It's never going to make money.
00:06:07.120 It's a zombie company.
00:06:08.180 We're not even going to talk about that.
00:06:09.520 We're going to talk about the fact that Kaitlyn Clark, at the very least,
00:06:12.200 is the reason that we're actually even getting any shine to any of these players.
00:06:16.500 I've never heard of Asia Wilson. 1.00
00:06:17.880 I guess she's the best player in the NBA. 0.98
00:06:19.420 We wouldn't be talking about her.
00:06:20.840 By the way, if you just look at the stats,
00:06:22.080 Kaitlyn Clark is a top three player in the NBA.
00:06:24.360 She's top three in the league in points, assists, three points.
00:06:28.680 She's going to be one of the top three MVP candidates.
00:06:32.140 Listen, I'm no fan of the NBA.
00:06:34.080 I will crap on the WNBA all day, every day I can.
00:06:37.600 And at the same time, I can acknowledge that Caitlin Clark is the reason 1.00
00:06:40.660 that we've been talking about this disgusting, horrible, useless league. 0.98
00:06:44.840 So two things can be true at once. 0.95
00:06:46.700 The league is useless, but she's a great player in this league.
00:06:48.800 Check this out.
00:06:49.200 This is the WNBA 30-year poster that they did to recognize WNBA's history.
00:06:55.920 And you know who's missing on that poster?
00:06:57.640 A white Drake woman? 1.00
00:06:58.860 Oh, sorry. 1.00
00:06:59.780 Caitlin Clark is missing from that poster. 0.99
00:07:02.500 They decided she wasn't big enough to put her in there. 1.00
00:07:05.220 By the way, I love that WNBA is doing this
00:07:07.880 because it's showing what you guys are really all about.
00:07:10.420 The entire league is being exposed, and FYI, with Kaitlyn Clark.
00:07:16.560 She's going to keep doing her thing, and the more they do this,
00:07:19.320 eventually everybody goes through three phases.
00:07:22.200 First, you are ridiculed.
00:07:24.900 Then you're violently opposed.
00:07:26.480 Then it becomes self-evident.
00:07:27.840 She has not yet made it self-evident.
00:07:30.200 She's going through that phase that Michael went through,
00:07:32.840 that all major athletes had to go through.
00:07:34.760 and she's going to get through it and her supporters
00:07:36.840 are going to be behind her. I hope she continues.
00:07:38.880 This is 4th of July and
00:07:40.560 there's obviously a lot of stuff that's going on.
00:07:42.960 About $30-40 billion is going to be spent
