Sports commentator Jason Whitlock finally said what millions of Americans are thinking about the WNBA. After superstar Caitlin Clark announced she won’t return to play for the Indiana Fever this season, Whitlock declared he’s completely done with the league. The man who gave women’s basketball a real chance has had enough of their toxic behavior.
Clark brought huge crowds and TV ratings to a league that nobody cared about before. She filled arenas and got people watching women’s basketball for the first time in years. But instead of welcoming their golden goose, the WNBA players treated her like garbage from day one.
Whitlock admitted he tried to support the league because he believed Clark could make it interesting. He took heat from critics for even talking about the WNBA and defending Clark. But after watching months of Clark being mistreated by jealous players and refs, he’s throwing in the towel.
The veteran broadcaster blasted Clark for constantly arguing with referees during games. He said she looked spoiled and entitled yelling at officials from the bench. Whitlock called the behavior unprofessional and said it made him lose interest in watching.
But Whitlock’s real anger was aimed at the league itself and the players who resented Clark’s success. He called them hot garbage and said the whole organization was unlikable. The commentator noted that many WNBA players seemed more focused on tearing down Clark than building up their sport.
This mess shows exactly what’s wrong with woke sports today. Instead of celebrating talent and success, these players let jealousy and politics destroy their biggest opportunity. Clark could have been their Michael Jordan, but they chose to be petty instead.
The WNBA had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to become relevant and profitable. A genuine superstar fell into their lap and brought mainstream attention they never had before. Now they’re back to playing in empty arenas because they couldn’t handle having a star who didn’t fit their agenda.
American sports fans deserve better than this toxic nonsense. When even supporters like Whitlock walk away disgusted, you know the league has failed completely. The WNBA chose woke politics over winning, and now they’re paying the price for their stupidity.
