  We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, is Caitlin Clark a
• 0:03
  bust in the w NBA. Well, let's ask our American mamas. Mamma,
• 0:09
  mama, and joining us now our American mama's Terry Netteville and Kimberly Brothers,
• 0:24
  and Kaitlyn Clark made it to the w NBA. She of course made
• 0:27
  a whole bunch of records, all time scoring record for not just NCAA Women's
• 0:31
  basketball, but NCAA basketball period. She gets into the w NBA and the
• 0:39
  haters seem to be coming out and saying she's the worst pick ever, She's
• 0:43
  a complete bust, just right her off. Now, even after like three
• 0:47
  games, they were saying, and these are girls in her league, we're
• 0:49
  seeing straight up jealousy right now. We are seeing severe jealousy. They can't
• 0:54
  handle it. She's filling the stadium for the first time ever. They're taking
• 0:58
  charter jets for the first for the first time, women in the league that
• 1:02
  are now getting deals that they didn't get for the first time ever. What's
• 1:06
  the common denominator here, Caitlyn Clark exactly. And so she's brought something to
• 1:11
  this program, to the w NBA. That's never been done before. She's
• 1:15
  bringing eyes and instead of appreciating that they're bullying her. You saw in the
• 1:19
  last there's clips of this one, you know, pushing her. Yes,
• 1:23
  the girl comes, she doesn't even have the ball, and the girl just
• 1:26
  shoves her down. She goes down. The thing that I noticed, Angel
• 1:30
  Reese from you know, former LSU player, stood up and cheered on that
• 1:36
  teammate that knocked Caitlyn down. Saw that number two. I noticed that none
• 1:41
  of the girls on Caitlyn's team came to her defense and got in front of
• 1:44
  the face of the girl, the bully that did that. Number three.
• 1:48
  In the presser afterwards, when the reporters wanted to ask her, I'm not
• 1:53
  talking about that, she had this like, I'm not talking about that,
• 1:55
  and they were like, did you what did you say to her? I'm
• 1:57
  not gonna tell you what I said. I didn't say anything she said to
• 2:00
  you. I don't know what Caitlyn said to me. And the coach is
• 2:02
  the one said that's enough, that's enough questions because she knows it's a bad
• 2:06
  look. Look. If Kaitlyn Clark leaves the league and does her own league,
• 2:10
  her own thing, these women. The deals are gone, the charter
• 2:15
  jets are gone. People don't give a freak about them. You know what
• 2:20
  kills me is not only are we seeing this as like pure jealousy, but
• 2:23
  I saw Jamil Hill. She wrote this article and she said to all of
• 2:27
  this popularity is because she's white and straight. They play the victim. And
• 2:30
  then she went accept that real quick, yeah, real quick. She not
• 2:36
  only set the record for the institu of a she actually, in her what
• 2:39
  seventh game something like that, she set in WNBA record the youngest person,
• 2:46
  the first rookie to ever get what was thirty points and ten rebounds and ten
• 2:51
  steals all in the same light to hit a you know, a triple double
• 2:55
  in a single game. And yet you know, as as a as a
• 3:00
  rookie in the league. So she has already set league records within her first
• 3:04
  two months in the league. I know. But they can't handle that,
• 3:07
  you know. He'll went on to say that she says, black women just
• 3:12
  continue to get erased in this. I'm like, when did this become become
• 3:15
  anything about the color of your skin? If we're going to go there,
• 3:20
  if we're going to talk about race, let me just ask you this,
• 3:22
  Kimberly, Let's switch it around. Let's say this is a young star who's
• 3:27
  a black girl that came out of Iowa and is Iowa, right, I
• 3:30
  believe fris State. Yeah, she comes out and she's the black the new
• 3:35
  face, and they've got the charters as the new deals people are coming.
• 3:38
  The eyes are on it. And it was some white girls who had been
• 3:42
  there, veterans of it, and they were knocking her down, calling her
• 3:45
  the B word, smashing her on their pockets. You would be ridiculed by
• 3:49
  the white people. Can you imagine the black people? Oh my god,
• 3:52
  Oh yeah, we would, We would. We were horrible. We think
• 3:53
  it's horrible. Let's just we don't have to go that far for an analogy,
• 3:57
  right, Okay, there's actually a really good analogy here. There was
• 4:01
  a sport that was kind of middling, like you know, it was out
• 4:04
  there and some people really liked it, but it didn't have a whole bunch
• 4:08
  of popularity until one player comes in and lights the whole thing and the first
• 4:13
  year wins a championship, second year wins a chip. That's another good example.
• 4:15
  I'm thinking of Tiger Woods. Oh yeah, Tiger Woods comes on and
• 4:19
  He absolutely changed golf. And when they were making, you know, a
• 4:23
  couple thousand dollars, all of a sudden they're making millions of dollars. And
• 4:27
  the other players, who were vastly white, Yeah, went, you know
• 4:30
  what I need to do. I need to raise my game to match Tigers.
• 4:34
  And now, for the first time, you started watching golfers go into
• 4:38
  the gym and start working out so that they could hit the ball as far
• 4:43
  as Tiger could. They didn't like, hey, get your wood out and
• 4:46
  hit Tiger in the head. Yeah, that that type of it didn't happen.
• 4:50
  Well, My whole point about that, though, was you would this
• 4:55
  part the women would be vilified for doing this to the young black girls.
• 4:58
  Why aren't they being villified. Why aren't Kaitlyn's teammates stepping in front of them
• 5:02
  saying, you mess with her, You got to mess with us, like
• 5:04
  you've seen that happen with the men. You have Charles Barkley, Lebron and
• 5:10
  Oh I can't do the other guy. They were out there saying, petty
• 5:14
  women, stop it. Yes, this is where we see how petty this
• 5:17
  is. Get it together, thank her instead of hurting her. I'm embarrassed
• 5:21
  I'm ashamed of these girls, these young women. They are examples for other
• 5:26
  women, and I am ashamed of everyone of them have done this. Maybe
• 5:29
  that's why people weren't going to see the w NBA games before Kaitlyn Clark.
• 5:32
  Yeah, Kaitlyn needs to start her own leg and they aren't watching, not
• 5:36
  necessarily because of the skill, but just because of the people. Okay,
