Again women have no fucking right to say that men should watch women's sports. This is a basic flaw in the current age social dynamic. And this is applicable to this conversation. You cannot say "oh well men finally care about women's sports due to how good Caitlin Clark is" and completely ignore the bigger issue that is that women don't fucking care about sports in general. Or that mild mannered modern males feel this white knight idiocy to cater to the female gender as well as the collection of special "shards" it has grown of late.
It matters. One directly relates to the other.
As to Caitlin's "fuckability" (your word) I am willing to bet that if you built the WNBA as an underwear league with fine ass models instead of oversized mouthbreathing athletes, it would get more male viewership. Also I do think I'd request permission to climb aboard Caitlin, which is to say I wouldn't kick her out of bed. But I agree it's a far cry to watch any of the long list of fine ass young tennis players compared to any of these women in the WNBA.
Bottom line is I think the WNBA is racist as fuck. But the mild mannered mainstream and their media sycophants are too afraid of making waves to call it what it is. Racism is racism though. You can't break down the barriers on what whites have done for so long then turn around and pull the same shit. Well, actually you can, and they are, but this will end up being called what it is once the cowards in the media finally wake up to what is going on. Then all these mild mannered mainstream lemmings on social media will take up the call as they realize they had it wrong. And on and on social norms will turn.
