    Why don’t anyone ask why the referees are trash?
  • @dschrute8
    New WNBA fan because of CC - it’s fun to learn about the league and all the talent. My family is hooked and watching any WNBA game we can!
  • @joeykremple
    I’m here because of Caitlin and so are millions of others. Give her due, explicitly
  • @rosalindadingle739
    Caitlin Cark is THE reason for the incredible increase interest in the WNBA & increase of their revenue....with Caitlin Cark, there would not be an interest in Angel Reese...
  • @dallaswilliams8152
    So the game is not about your talent, but rather than how well you can bully the other players.
  • @michaelleonardo881
    Cathy Engelbert has been MIA and silent when she is needed most. She’s not a leader just a glorified PR person.
  • @lifewithtammyanddean
    Cathy is basically excusing the all-out brawls and bullying on the court that looks like a cage match. Shameful!
  • @michelleblanc6377
    How she just discard the impact of CC on the sales, attendance and viewership is nauseating. Look at me me me it’s all me. Barf.
  • @ruyeliaslopez7783
    What is good about Cathy Engelbert’s management of the WNBA? The WNBA has been losing $10Milllion every year. The rise of the WNBA now is not because of her management but because of Caitlin Clark ONLY for most of it. If she is a good leader she will credit the new rise of the WNBA to Caitlin Clark because a good leader gives due recognition to achiements in her organization to encourage others to aspire for the same. Cathy Engelbert in this show only gave LIP SERVICE to Caitlin Clark but brags about the rise in the WNBA as if she is the one responsible for such rise. Sad and disgusting.

    Jenna Jenna Jenna.... don't push that CC narrative. It's BS
  • @isaacmanning8658
    very disappointed that you all only brought up Caitlin Clark and disregard Angel Reese and Camilla Cardoso who are both NCAA champions and Clark lost to them on two different years as if Angel and Camilla didn't also help bring viewers to the WNBA. How offensive to disregard all those people who are watching not just because of Caitlin but rather Angel Reese. Very disappointed in this network and will not watch again. If you're truly for women's sports, then mention all contributors not just the "great white hope" in CC. Nothing against CC, she's a great player but there's other girls that also are helping to grow the game as well.
