Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever are always at the center of anything concerning the WNBA. Once her millions of fans tagged along, the rest of the league’s players and their respective fans have seemingly become uncomfortable.

This resulted in some unwanted narratives taking place during her rookie season. Be it questions about her merits that warranted all that attention, or when some simply pointed out that she was enjoying all that fame because she was ‘white and straight’.

Those logics suggested that the league’s dominant population did not conform to those norms, hence they did not have enough fans to show for. Even though Clark obliterated those narratives with her play in the 2nd half, race-based discourses continued.

Entering this season, many hoped those discussions were out of the picture and everyone could return to watching exciting basketball. Then the All-Star voting results dropped, and it revealed that players voted Clark 9th best among guards.

Aliyah Boston was similarly ranked amongst forwards. The only solace was when they placed Kelsey Mitchell 6th among guards. These ranking brought back questions of petty behavior against Fever players. Clark, seemingly brought this up after they won the Commisssioner’s Cup.

Guys I just know everybody in the league is siiiiick.

Caitlin Clark said to her teammates

Hearing this, Boston, Mitchell, Aari McDonald, and Sydney Colson burst out laughing, with the center confirming that this win would irritate their peers. After that, Colson, a veteran in this league, added that everyone ‘hates’ them, confirming what Sophie Cunningham talked about last week.

Caitlin Clark believes Fever will start to get ‘hot’

Caitlin Clark and her teammates joked about their peers not liking them while on Sydney Colson’s live feed after they won the Commissioners Cup. During the same stream, the point guard, who did not play due to injury, was seen telling her teammates this:

We are still in like, 7th place, but we’ll get it up! We’re gonna get it up, baby! We’re gonna get hot!

Caitlin Clark said

This Commissioner’s Cup win proved that the Indiana Fever may finally be starting to get their rhythm right. The way they suffocated the Minnesota Lynx in the 2nd quarter onwards proved that when driven, their defense and offense can be top tier.

They also have a five-game home stretch coming up, which should help them boost their confidence. Along with her return, Clark believes her team will start to heat up before the All-Star break and start to climb the ladder.

Caitlin Clark believes Commissioner’s Cup and WNBA Finals payout needs fixing

By winning the Commissioner’s Cup, the Indiana Fever players received $500,000 in prize money. Additionally, they would each receive $5000 in cryptocurrency from Coinbase. During that live stream, Caitlin Clark revealed that it was more than what players receive in the WNBA Finals.

You get more for this than you get if you are a champion. Makes no sense. Someone needs to help out.

Caitlin Clark said

The 23-year-old made a plea for someone to fix the problem, as it was embarrassing that a WNBA champion gets less prize money or bonuses than if they won the in-season cup. It points to the wage-related problems the league has been facing for a while.

Everyone is hoping that the next CBA improves matters. It might not immediately help star players land million dollar deals, but it could be a major step. The league has been doing its part to sign media-rights and endorsement deals. The players now need the owners to agree to share the revenue.
