Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: What is this. This is the owner of the Mystics.
- 0:07Speaker 1: I guess that's the name of a WNBA team.
- 0:10Speaker 2: It has taken the WNBA almost twenty years to get
- 0:14Speaker 2: to the point where we are now. And this year
- 0:17Speaker 2: something clicked with the WNBA.
- 0:19Speaker 1: The point where they are now unprofitable, right, unable to
- 0:24Speaker 1: survive without being subsidized by a men's league.
- 0:28Speaker 2: And it's because of the draft of the players that
- 0:30Speaker 2: came in. It's just not Caitlin Clark, it's Reese. We
- 0:35Speaker 2: have so many, so much talent out there that has
- 0:38Speaker 2: been unrecognized, and I don't think we can just pin
- 0:41Speaker 2: it on one player.
- 0:43Speaker 1: There has been you know, this phrase has been okay,
- 0:45Speaker 1: but what are the players responsible for. They're responsible for
- 0:48Speaker 1: failing for a failing league, a league that doesn't make money,
- 0:52Speaker 1: that can't make money. Right, Paint it on all of them.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Put the entire league on the cover of a magazine
- 0:59Speaker 1: that says failure, failed league, right, broke, but up on
- 1:06Speaker 1: the cover of broke magazine. The entirely pit it on
- 1:09Speaker 1: all of them, Pit it on all of them. I
- 1:11Speaker 1: find this whole thing so absurd, right, this is such
- 1:14Speaker 1: a denial of reality. Who cares like nobody gives a
- 1:18Speaker 1: shit about the WNBA. That's why they don't make money. Right. Sure,
- 1:22Speaker 1: they sold out some buildings because of Caitlin Clark. She's
- 1:25Speaker 1: a phenomenon, right in terms of women's basketball. I've seen
- 1:29Speaker 1: a few clips. She does seem like she's really good, right,
- 1:32Speaker 1: But the reality is it's still a failing league. They
- 1:37Speaker 1: still lost money, even with a big star who became
- 1:41Speaker 1: a household name, still lost money and still will lose
- 1:44Speaker 1: money and will continue to lose money. I find this
- 1:47Speaker 1: so weird in couch, hasn't it the Caitlyn Clark effect?
- 1:51Speaker 1: Why do you think that has been the case.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Well, I want to be very diplomatic about this. It's
- 1:59Speaker 2: just the structure, the way media plays out race. I'm
- 2:03Speaker 2: gonna be very honest.
- 2:06Speaker 1: You finally have a player that somebody cares about, that
- 2:10Speaker 1: people care about, and you can do nothing else but
- 2:13Speaker 1: pull out. Well, it's because everybody's racist. All those new
- 2:17Speaker 1: people watching, they're all racist. Hey, it's still not enough
- 2:20Speaker 1: for us to actually make any money without being subsidized
- 2:23Speaker 1: by the men's league. But it's racist. They're all racist.
- 2:27Speaker 1: They know nothing else. I mean, how counterproductive is this?
- 2:31Speaker 1: How counterproductive can you be. This just seems like suicidal
- 2:35Speaker 1: stupidity to me. Nobody gives a shit about your league
- 2:38Speaker 1: compared to other leagues. That's the reality. More people watch
- 2:43Speaker 1: reruns of Gilligan's Island than your games. Maybe if Caitlin
- 2:47Speaker 1: Clark is in a game, you can get more than
- 2:49Speaker 1: reruns of Wheel of Fortune, right, And that's a good thing.
- 2:54Speaker 1: That's a good thing. And the best you've got is well,
- 2:57Speaker 1: it's just racism. She's popular because racism. What an imbecile?
- 3:03Speaker 1: What a This person's brain must be presitized by a
- 3:07Speaker 1: mind virus, by an idea pathogen must be No sane
- 3:11Speaker 1: person would do this, No sane person would do this.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I mean, if she didn't have the subsidies from the NBA,
- 3:19Speaker 1: would she do it? That's the question right there. Abada
- 3:23Speaker 1: says another super high IQ lady h Kirby says should
- 3:27Speaker 1: have been Shohei Otani. From my understanding, what he has
- 3:31Speaker 1: accomplished is far more impressive. Let's see, voters. George Kirby says,
- 3:36Speaker 1: a talent in the w NBA is a small fringe minority.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I think you're right. Let's see. Anyway, That's all I'm
- 3:47Speaker 1: going to say about that. Please like, share and subscribe.
