We all knew the WNBA was going to swallow Clark's talents and be the same old safe boring lesbian prison game.

Fans are clamoring for this coach to be fired but they don't get it. You'll never see Iowa Clark again.... She could've made more money staying and just retired doing exhibitions and celebrity events.

The WNBA is the worst run, most toxic sports league in the history of mankind.

Its NEVER turned a profit. In what capitalist country would it still be in business? Apparently we're not as capitalist as we think.. Or we pick and choose capitalism depending on societal agenda.

The fact that Clark isn’t bringing the ball up the court every possession is truly comical. Towards the final minutes of the third quarter the Fever had three straight possessions that resulted in

- double blocked under the goal
- turnover
- and a missed, wide open layup (literally no one defending)

They then sub Clark back into the game and let her bring the ball up the court multiple times and she hits a three, a couple of assist, and draws a foul to hit free throws. They went from being down 21 to down 11….

After that run they then sent Clark to the outside and she only had one more shot attempt the rest of the game. They went from being down 11 to down 30ish.

This definitely looks political. The big Butch Girl Club that runs the WNBA apparently wants it to stay the same awful product.

I've never seen those words all together at once, but I like it.

I agree. She’d be way better off being on the Globetrotters than one of the worst WNBA team by far.

And that's a shame. They did everything they could to kill off the Houston Comets, the most successful team in the league.

Give her a chance. She just finished a grueling college season and with literally no time for rest and recovery, upped the ante by playing a professional season. She's probably exhausted and trying to learn a new system with new teammates - bad ones at that.

Let be honest here. It’s a league of women players, coached by women and run COMPLETELY by women.

Women in general are simply Not as good at Business as men.

When I watch college or pro sports...especially when I PAY MONEY to watch college or pro sports...I want to be wowed. I want to see people do amazing things that I could never do, or that do it at a level way beyond what I could ever have done myself.

I've seen Martina Navratilova play tennis at Wimbledon. I can be entertained by watching Olympic (or even Alabama) gymnastics or swimming.

What puts thw WNBA behind the 8 ball is that millions of males who were good high school players are sitting out there saying "my high school team could have kicked their asses". And while, since they may be die hard Bama or LSU or Iowa fans, or whatever, they may occasionally support their school. But they'll never invest time or money in watching the WNBA.

I went with a friend to watch LSU at Vandy this year, because he had gotten tickets and invited me. The Vandy gym was less than half full, and the majority of those were LSU fans. There are boys high school basketball teams all over middle Tennessee that could beat Vandy's women. Why are they going to pay good money to go to a WNBA game? They won't.
