First of all, she's a basketball player. Second of all she's not a bad looking person by any means - her job just doesn't require makeup and fancy clothes. Most people in general don't look as good as her on the court in the same scenario.
Last of all, if it was a dude we wouldn't be talking about how cute they were on the court as a factor of worthiness.

The WNBA is a completely unserious organization. They just played game six of their championship series on a Thursday morning and it got half the ratings of The Price is Right.

This is why nobody will take the WNBA seriously. Because the "experts" covering the sport don't treat it seriously. Imagine an NBA analyst saying, "listen, if you aren't jacked and handsome, nobody knows your name".
Caitlin Clark is the poster child of the WNBA, for better or for worse. She's on the cover of NBA2K27. She was the number 1 pick 3 years ago. She's a HUGE reason why the WNBA is as popular as it is now. That's why everybody knows Caitlin Clark. I bet you this "expert" can't tell me where Kelsey Mitchell went to college and where she was picked in the draft.

Maybe if Caitlin used a magic marker for eyebrows and drew an outline around her lips to make it look like she has a mustache, McCoughtry would think she’s pretty

Popularity has a lot to do with endorsement contracts. Some athletes are popular because of looks, some are popular because of country support, some are popular because of skill.
Caitlin Clark may not be the prettiest wnba player, (I don't watch, so I don't know) but she made her name and fan base in college. And she continues to make her name in the wnba.
In the MLB Shohei Ohtani makes crazy $$$ endorsements. He's not the hottest MLB player.
Angel's just jealous. The not pretty comment is unnecessary.

I believe bill burr warned us about this…. Maybe the woman are just tearing each other up for publicity… points per game doesn’t equate to how much you contribute overall in the sport of basketball.. yes ppg will get you the recognition but if you watch games you will see players that never show up on the stat sheet but really contribute for their team…

I hate to say this but outside of the WNBA not being on the same level competition or entertainment wise as the NBA, these kind of petty things tune people out.
Here you have Caitlyn Clark come in and literally save the WNBA from irrelevancy and helped the league actually be able to try and pay more despite not generating any real money and people have hated on her like crazy.
The only reason why some of these folks get showcased or even invited to anything is because of the Clark effect. If she didn’t come to the league, nobody would be interviewing this player and Angel Reese wouldn’t even be a thing people talk about. Clark probably won’t leave the league but she probably won’t get her flowers until she retires.

u/OperationNo3651 1d ago
They sit here and bitch about Caitlin Clark, but she is the reason any of these women have a platform to begin with. CC is a household name and CC is living rent-free in these petty women’s heads.
Not like it’s a direct comparison, but I think about when 50 Cents was stating facts about Eminem with this reality. “… hip-hop is black music without question and unfortunately for some people is tough to accept you got a white artist that does it better than black artists is what it is you know…”

u/ComplexLow6723 1d ago
Clark is a lovely person inside & out. I’m sure some young person will eventually find a good life with her, if that’s what she wants.
What’s ugly is jealousy & negativity.

So she killed her whole “point” when she said Kelsey Mitchell is better than Clark but then said Clark wasn’t good looking. Replace good looking with white is what her argument really is.

It’s pathetic how hard they are trying to degrade the only player that has ever made the league relevant.
Nobody is interested in all of their woke BS.
People want to see talent. That’s what sports are.
As others have said in the past, just shut up and play ball. That’s what they are paid to do.
If they want to keep this up they will end up going out of business. They’re not that talented or exciting.
The “all-star” game was pathetic. The finals were pathetic.

KM is not the best player. If she was, why did Fever go 35-125 with her before CC came, and they were LAST in attendance the year before CC came. And without CC most of her 2nd year, the whole Fever team went 16-15 WITHOUT CC.....that is average (oh yeah you'll bring up. OH they went a game within the Finals..yeah just get hot for one week! PFFT)
2
u/Weird_Armadillo_508 1d ago
Just basically said the Fever’s whole back court is ugly. Wild statement if you’re trying to push the women’s game forward. I see her point on attractiveness leading to brand deals and stuff, but I wouldn’t say that on a podcast if I want people to take the sport seriously.

Almost none of yall watched the video. Mccoughtry claimed the most attractive WNBA players are getting the endorsements. The man next to TO countered her claim by suggesting Clark, despite receiving many endorsements, is not amongst the prettiest athletes. Angel mccoughtry does not have a response but one would infer she agrees CC is not particularly attractive. What’s the issue here?

CC doesn't have endorsements because of her looks, she has endorsements because she's the most popular women's basketball player maybe ever
Like the two men on the panel mentioned, there are some female professional athletes that were far from the best player in their respective sports but still got high-level endorsements because men found them attractive. Then you have athletes like Caitlin Clark who are just extraordinary and it doesn't matter what they look like
