The WNBA should be worried about the LPGA. 

Post#1 » by Pelon chingon » Tue Oct 15, 2024 6:39 pm

Based on how poorly CC was treated by the WNBA if i was her or her management team i would strongly consider jumping ship to LPGA. The opportunity would be wildly lucrative for her and devastating for the WNBA which Caitlin "Reality" Clark has put on the map.

For someone who doesn’t even watch games you sure have a lot to say about negative things that the WNBA should watch out for.

Obvious trolls are obvious.
They're not Democrats. They don't want you to agree with them. They want to force you to pretend to agree with them.

That's communism.

It’s worse, because trolls can sometimes be funny. This guy is just a straight up unfunny, hater.

Yeah if he was funny I'd enjoy it but it's just simply boring and lame.

The loving Clark, but hating the WNBA phenomenon is something I'll never understand.

If not for Clark, I'd probably have never watched the WNBA. Clark is awesome and interesting and fun to watch. So, logically, I'm like "oh, she's dreamed of playing in the WNBA her whole life and that's where she's going next, so man, I oughta check this out"

I did and I liked it quite a bit.

The Pro-Clark/Anti-W is just wild. I've never seen it in any other league.

Could you imagine how weird it would if somebody said "I absolutely love Patrick Mahomes, but the NFL sucks"?

Anyway, if Clark wants to switch to golf, more power to her, but she seems to like basketball and wants to play with/against the best in the world. Still can't fathom how/why that bothers some of her "fans".

ETA: I know that this isn't actually Clark fans. I just don't understand the point of pretending to like/care about a player just to do....whatever this is.

The posters who push culture war politics on this forum are not fans of Caitlin Clark.

We know who the real CC fans are. They actively participate, watch games, offer great feedback/insight and ask genuine questions if they're new to the league

All this "she needs to go play golf because the players hate her" is steeped in racism. I pray these guys lose interest once they realize that Clark wants nothing to do with them.

LPGA showed how to market CC better than the W ever did. The W didn't even do a tweet or anything about CC's golf outing:
