The WNBA, just as it’s beginning to pop, will soon be the G-League unless these women start using common sense. Do what’s right & protect girls & women in sports!

To put it simply, Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA because she is the most prominent, marketable, and recognizable individual in the WNBA.
She is not currently the best player in the WNBA. That’s A’Ja Wilson.
The nuance that you are missing is that being the most popular player, recognizable player, biggest draw and bringing in the most money for the WNBA for 3 years now despite not winning a MVP or WNBA Championship, giving the players the ammo to get chartered flights with a new CBA that increased some players base salary by 1,400% and being the single player that globally other people recognize makes her the face of the WNBA.
To be the standard of winning in the WNBA will take Caitlin Clark some time.
Michael Jordan was the face of the NBA well before he was the standard of winning and before he ever won an NBA Championship or MVP because of his playing style and savvy branding.
Everyone knew if they beat MJ or had the game to their life against him that everyone would notice because all eyes were on him.
That is why teams play every game against the Indiana Fever like it is their Super Bowl.
That is why every player with a competitive bone in their body plays Caitlin Clark like they have something to prove to the world.
They know when they do it against Caitlin Clark, the world will notice.
Having the first 45 point 10 assists double double in WNBA History and the first 45 point 10 assists double double in 29 mins in NBA or WNBA History shows the talent and rare playing style Caitlin Clark possesses.
It’s okay to say that A’Ja Wilson is the best player in the WNBA.
It’s okay to say Olivia Miles is the best rookie and one of the best guards in the WNBA.
It’s okay to say that Angel Reese is the best rebounder in the WNBA.
And it’s okay to say that Caitlin Clark is the Face of the WNBA.
I appreciate the nuance in your opinion, but there is a difference between popularity, appeal and being the face of the league.
Caitlin Clark is the most popular player in the WNBA, and the biggest draw. She’s not the face because she’s not creating a new standard for winning (yet). She does not have accomplishments that people want to take (yet).
What team is everyone trying to beat? The Aces. What player is everyone trying to match? A’ja Wilson.
The standard for winning is A’ja. Michael Jordan became the face of the NBA because he became the standard by which every player is measured. Everyone wanted to stop him. Caitlin isn’t there.

The fact that no news station will air the speech tonight is all the proof you need that there is a conspiracy between the major media corporations and anti-Trump sentiment .

Lets keep in mind Caitlin didnt ask for this She’s never said she was the face of the league. She’s always showed respect for those who came before her. She could squash this league like a bug if she started her own league. When she was asked to do NBA 3pt contest she said she wanted to do WNBA one 1st. She has fought for players salaries. But she is by far the most popular player in the league by every metric possible. Was it disrespectful to past tennis players when Serena and Venus instantly became faces of women’s tennis or Tiger with golf? The market dictates who the face of the league is and it’s clearly Caitlin. This argument makes zero sense and is just steeped in jealousy and stupidity

Gaethje walkout is better than any tracking cam movie shots. No reshots. One take. Real time. Most badass shit I've ever seen. Documentary renegade live film making.

I thought the @ufc event at the White House was great.
Very different and very entertaining. Congrats @danawhite @realDonaldTrump 👏
And to my liberal friends shrieking in faux outrage about it, I say this: pick your battles with Trump, this ain’t a hill to hysterically die on.

Gaethje passing by Teddy Roosevelt, moments before he beats the shit out of the foreign sitting champion on the South Lawn in front of a crowd of 80,000. This is America.

Gotta be honest, this @ufc event at the White House looks spectacular. This is a big time show. I’m not there, and we all know all the complaints folks had about renovations at and around the White House, etc, but — to be fair — this is some impressive stuff I’m looking at. Props to UFC President @danawhite and the show they’ve put on. It’s Bigtime. Plain and simple!!!

Dana White & UFC 250 at White House is amazingly well done. Love seeing all the military. Super Impressive. Only @realDonaldTrump would do this. Proud to be an American 🇺🇸
