Angel Reese has a lucrative endorsement portfolio, including deals with Reebok, Beats by Dre, Reese's Pieces, McDonald's, and Amazon. She's also partnered with Goldman Sachs, Tampax, Bose, and Intuit TurboTax. 
 

so she is certainly in demand- or is a value name.

She should do a domestic violence PSA.

that’s not possible, she’s a black woman, and they don’t get endorsements, because of racism. ask anybody.

but please resident wnba fans, continue to tell us that she’s actually a very good player and that this sport is worth watching.

it's just like...why?  No wonder her teammates have such bad body language. 

She HAS to know she's not an offensive threat at all...get the rebound and pass it out.

Its gotta be almost intentional at this point. She is hilariously bad at basketball, and seems to have gotten significantly worse in the off season. I'd bet she is out of the league in less than 2 years. 

But she was "better" in Unrivaled.

You know...the 3 on 3 league that, I guess...is "harder to play in" than 5 on 5.  Or so I was told.

Yep she does. And she'll be set for life based on her "rivalry" with Clark. 

But the more and more her team sucks, and she's starts to get the blame(rightfully so), the more those will start to dry up.

Lulz, her FG% is a disgrace, especially when you have to figure 80% of her attempts come within 6 feet of the basket. She has no shooting form, she just heaves it towards the rim like the goal is merely to make contact. But I guess when both of your eyes are busy migrating to the back of your head, that's probably all you can hope for.

something else i’ve noticed about the most overly/undeservedly privileged league in the world is that the announcers are never critical of the players or the play on the court. you watch nba broadcasts and there isn’t a single game where bone headed plays, lazy defense, or too much three point shooting doesn’t get criticized. then you watch angel reese miss five bunnies in 15 seconds without even considering kicking the ball out to someone who’s actually talented, and the announcers are all, “Angel Reese will not give up!! Heart of a champion!!!” regardless of what they say, they do not have any desire to be treated equally to the men. they just want more money and attention.

For reals?  I guess because she plays a very rote WNBA post position where it's all under the rim, she's not as well known, but she's extremely accomplished.  UConn product, US Olympics gold medalist, NCAA champion, WNBA RoY and first team WNBA multiple times.  She also created the Unrivaled league with B Stewart.  I don't know a ton of players in the WNBA, but Collier is probably a top 5 player in the league..... which, of course, is your point.  She's eons better than Reese and probably should be more well known....

see that’s the thing. i’m the avid sports fan who could potentially be persuaded to start following women’s basketball if i were exposed to more people like her, and a lot less if angel reese, kim mulkey, and that USA Womens HCthay was shitting on CC. the majority of women’s hoops personalities that i’ve been exposed to come off as horrible people that i would never root for.

Clark got a new one pissed at her yesterday in 2022 1st overall pick Rhyne Howard. Howard decided to attempt to give her the business. 

I will go to the points you have made about how these women are upset with Clark and say that they have been doing the same thing she is doing. Well let's start with the 2022 1st overall pick and her stats since entering the league.

The team has a 49-70 overall record since she joined. 

Howard stats. Keep in mind that she's a 6'2" guard. That's a big guard in the WNBA.

She averages 17pts 4.6 reb and 3.2 ast per game for her career. 

She shoots 37 PERCENT from the field. 34 percent from deep and eFG of 45.9

She has a 16.9 PER for her career.

37 percent from a high usage guard that apparently also feels like she's getting screwed over by all of the attention on Clark. Those are Angel Reese numbers. I don't think I need to say how much better Clark's numbers are than those or that at the moment Clark is sporting a 25.2 PER this season. These players are so incredibly dumb and then to have morons like Stephen A. Smith saying they have a point (They don't) makes all of this so laughable. Sit and watch a game with Clark on the floor and then watch the game without her on the floor. The difference in play is astounding. Clark is just better than any player in WNBA history. It's not even that close. To paraphrase a quote from Bobby Knight. Clark is like General Patton out there. All of the ones complaining about her are a bunch of Colonel Klinks.

She should be pushed like Sabrina in NY, and A'Ja(who kinda is already).  She's really really good.

If you pay even a modicum of attention to woman’s basketball you would have to try really hard to not know who Phee is for a myriad of reasons.

On a night where Clark didn't play very well and certainly not for her as she went 0-5 from 3 point land.  Again, Reese in wanting to stay relevant has to outdo Clark.... in every way she can.  Angel decides whatever Caitlin can do, she can do better and went 0-8 from the field and just for good measure, as her team got blown out, was -25 for the game, leading all players in +/- for the night.

Angel certainly throwing gas on that rivalry fire..... For real, she's better than this and we all have bad games, but you have to admit it's funny that she seems to have unbelievable timing.

not only is nobody here “masquerading as a women’s basketball fan”, the express purpose of this thread is (has become) so that those of us who actively dislike the sport can post our thoughts and feelings without interfering with the other thread , the one for the actual fans. 

and that’s the entire point of my last post: i’m *not* a women’s basketball fan, no doubt in some part due to the fact that i’ve never heard of this one lady who is obviously good at the sport and probably a nice person, meanwhile i’m well aware of who angel reese, brittany griner, and kim mulkey are, both by name, and by personality (see: horrible cunt). that’s a problem for the wnba. all that guys like me see are a bunch of unathletic, inherently unlikable, hateful, racist assholes missing layups and demanding that men pay them more money and attention. why on earth would i tune in for that?

These women don’t have to conform their personalities and attitudes to please you either and the fact that you think they should tells me more than I need to know about how you feel about women in general. No matter what, a few of you were never going to have a positive opinion on this league so stop acting like they can do something better to change your opinion. Your views are narrow and it’s not the leagues responsibility to expand them for you. And again you watch piece of shit men play sports all year but draw the line when it comes to women. The league is much bigger than the small interactions that only involve Clark which is all some of you pay attention to.

actually, YOU draw the line when it comes to women. we talk all kinds of shit about the men and judge them just as harshly and nobody cares. it’s you and yours who make it a big deal when it’s women being criticized. we don’t avoid watching the sport because of their personalities, we avoid the sport because the sport is terrible. the women being terrible, indefatigably ungrateful people is just the cherry on top.

If someone asked me who represented the best of woman’s basketball, none of those names would be on my list. But you have a hard time understanding how narrow your view is, which is probably intentional so you can continue to spew your bullshit about the sport. And the league has grown to a point where breaking off from the NBA would probably be more beneficial. But again the tone of your post continue to display how you feel about women. They should just stay in their place and not talk back. Anything you can accuse these women of men have done in their sports x10.

you just keep on making up bullshit about how i/we feel about women and convincing yourself that it’s true, because, ironically, you are so narrow minded that you can’t conceive of anyone criticizing a woman without that person actually hating women. it’s that exact type of annoying victim mentality that turns a lot of us off from the sport.

Like I said. This thread is weird.  Clark is definitely getting  undeserved shit from the vets and others that she will eventually just have play herself out of, and she will because she’s just that good.  It sucks that she has to deal with it but she isn’t the first. 
 

But there is this just this weird undertone, je ne sais quoi, from those complaining about it that goes beyond that. It’s like the online horde complaining about the all women Ghostbusters cast.  Closest thing I can think of to it, in any event.

I have said here I believe in the WNBA thread that I believe the NBA investment in the sport monetarily is a rounding error to them. I have never had an issue with the NBA keeping the league afloat and I think that’s been great that they do it. I want girls to be able to see women playing the game at a high level and to perhaps have someone they will look up to. Clark fits that bill as the first real generational talent that is bringing fans to the arena and more people tuning in and watching the games when they are streamed or on cable. I hope that Juju comes back 100 percent healthy because she is part of a select group that can ball and make it look easy. Bueckers is one this year that can also get it. I believe Collier organized that Unrivaled league. She is clearly killing it so far this season. The WNBA should pounce on promoting her. I am not optimistic that they will, but they should
 

I think that all of the players in the WNBA should be thankful for the uptick in attention paid to the sport instead of some of the ridiculous things said because of the color of Clark’s skin. She plays the game in a way that the rest of the league doesn’t. It’s fun to watch. Find other players who fit the bill and promote the heck out of them and grow the sport here and abroad. I guess the best phrase to use is strike while the iron is hot.

you’re probably just feeling uncomfortable because we’re in here treating women the same way we treat men, and people aren’t used to that. there’s also this undertone overtly aggressive belief in our current culture that anyone who says anything critical about a woman (or a black person, or a religious person, or any marginalized group of person who is different from them) must automatically hate that entire group. like only a misogynist could be this critical of these women who’ve been given a league only to spit at the people who gave it to them.

in reality it not complicated, and it’s no mystery- the product on the court sucks and the general attitude and personalities of the league and its players suck too. it’s very very unappealing to most people.   &nbs

it’s so tone deaf and ironic that SAD (perfect acronym, way to go SarkAfterDark) thinks we hate women, when in reality the literal reason that all of us are in here shitting on people like angel reese and chennedy carter is because of their repeated and undeserved attacks on a woman. 

we, basketball fans, saw the first female player who reminded us of steph curry, and with lots of promotion from ESPN we got to watch her, know her, and root for her. it was new, it was fun, it was exciting, and best of all, as soon as she finished college she got to immediately start playing in the pros. 

only guess what? the pros didn’t want her. the pros either didn’t respect her, didn’t want to see her succeed, or downright despised her. right out the gate diana turasi talked shit about CC on her podcast; angel reese called her out; chennedy carter (not even in the league anymore) cheap shotted her from behind; all kinds of teams, *especially* angel reese’s team, physically and verbally went after her; when that was happening, her own teammates ignored it, did not stick up for her, and did not retaliate; she not only was left off team usa, but the team usa coach talked shit a out her. meanwhile, CC just kept her mouth shut and, after a short adjustment period, rapidly ascended to the top of the league where she remains as its best player today.

we didn’t all just show up here one day like, “man fuck women! i hate women! they shouldn’t have rights! i’m so mad that the wnba exists!!!”. we got introduced to a demigod in sneakers who made us want to tune in and watch, and the moment she got to the pros the entire league set out to bully her, to trash her, to diminish her, and we didn’t like it. amd now that the league has our attention, the more attention we pay, the more these women have shown themselves to be embarrassing athletes and terrible people. so instead of talking about that sweet chest pass, or pretending like the world’s slowest fast break which ends with a 4-on-1 layup that hits the bottom of the rim and then gooses out of bounds off a girl’s knee *wasn’t* objectively terrible play, we’re in here talking about the still-shockingly cold reception that the best women’s basketball player of this century has gotten from a league full of wonderful people like brittany griner, chennedy carter, and angel reese. we don’t hate women; we hate shitty people.
