Brittney Griner REMOVED From WNBA? Her Reaction To Adam Silver’s Ruling Is WILD!

I think more than anything, I’m just really excited. This is a dream—something I wrote down on a piece of paper when I was in second grade: get a basketball scholarship, play in the WNBA. This is always something I wanted to do.

For her, it was Maya Moore. Tonight, it’s Caitlin Clark inspiring the next generation. There’s a really cool shot of her elementary school, which feels a little different than a typical basketball press conference. A lot of media are here today. I’ll start by saying thank you to all of you for covering me and for the exposure you’ve given me and my family.

Caitlin Clark is done playing nice with the WNBA, and she’s finally exposing all the shady moves they’ve been pulling behind the scenes. From day one, they’ve tried to sideline her, ignore her wins, and shut her out of the spotlight. But now, she’s clapping back. Since the moment she got drafted, Caitlin has watched Brittney Griner get everything handed to her—the headlines, the promo deals, the red carpet treatment. Through all of it, Caitlin stayed quiet. Even while they turned her into a punching bag on and off the court, she kept her cool. But not anymore. Caitlin’s calling it what it is.

Season tickets are reportedly flying off the shelves in Indiana, and even Caitlin has heard the rumors. She doesn’t know the exact numbers but confirms that they’re selling well. She’s also a big reason why a record 18.9 million viewers tuned in to this year’s NCAA championship game, turning women’s basketball into must-see TV.

One of the best parts of this season has been watching all the little kids—especially little girls—who are inspired to play basketball because of her. To Caitlin, that’s the whole reason she does it. Seeing kids wear her jersey and scream her name never gets old.

But this was never just about talent. It was about who the league chooses to spotlight—and clearly, it’s not Caitlin. While she breaks records and brings the WNBA into the mainstream, the league acts like she doesn’t exist. They built an entire media tour around Brittney Griner’s comeback. ESPN specials, highlight reels, sit-down interviews—the whole nine. Meanwhile, Caitlin’s the one selling out arenas and attracting fans who never watched the WNBA before. And still, they snub her.

Right after cutting her from the All-Star starter list, the league pivoted right back to hyping Griner. Cameras followed her like she was the second coming. But let’s be real—Caitlin is the reason fans are buying tickets and flying across the country to see games. She’s going viral every week, yet the league keeps acting like she’s not the biggest name in basketball right now. It’s not just disrespectful—it’s obvious.

Even the reporters are starting to acknowledge it. One told Caitlin to her face that she’s the reason Indiana’s ticket sales are exploding. So why is the league pretending she’s invisible?

Then things got even more blatant. ESPN dropped their mid-season rankings, and Caitlin fell from the number one preseason spot to number nine. Meanwhile, Brittney Griner is still sitting pretty near the top. This doesn’t feel like rankings—it feels like a script.

And it’s not like Caitlin isn’t performing. She’s under constant pressure, playing in sold-out arenas, with every move scrutinized and dissected. Yet instead of being rewarded, she gets quietly pushed down like she doesn’t deserve it. The league says it’s about honoring veterans, but let’s be honest—that’s just an excuse.

The nonstop fouls she’s taking are another issue. People highlight the big ones that don’t get called, but Caitlin says the real problem is how constant it is—every game, every possession. It wears her down. And she’s finally starting to admit she’s frustrated. After one game where people talked more about who shoved her than what she did on the court, Caitlin finally let it slip: she’s tired.

She’s still classy about it, though. She doesn’t name names, doesn’t bash other players, doesn’t attack the league. When asked how her game will transition to the WNBA, she focuses on her passing, her vision, and her understanding of the game—traits people often overlook because they’re too busy watching her shoot.

But fans see the full picture. They know the league is protecting its favorites and acting like Caitlin should just take the hits. And people are tired of it. Comments like “Never watched a game until Caitlin arrived—I bet millions feel the same” are blowing up. That’s not hype—it’s truth.

She’s boosted her team’s value, tripled attendance, increased TV ratings, helped the league secure better media deals—and what has she gotten in return? Ignored, snubbed, and fouled to the point where fans say it looks intentional.

Let’s not forget why Brittney Griner went to Russia in the first place: WNBA salaries aren’t high enough for players to support themselves. After nine months of wrongful detainment, Griner returned—and the league welcomed her with a full-blown media blitz. Emotional ESPN features painted her as the savior of women’s basketball.

No one’s denying she went through something traumatic, but since her return, it’s been all about her. Meanwhile, Caitlin—the one actually keeping the lights on—is left in the shadows.

Candace Wiggins, a former WNBA player, once said the league culture was toxic—full of bullying and jealousy. She claimed she was targeted for being straight and feminine, saying 98% of the league was gay, and that she was thrown to the ground constantly. That culture hasn’t gone anywhere.

Now Caitlin’s being shoved, elbowed, and fouled mid-court without calls. Videos are all over social media showing how often she gets hit. And nobody seems to care. No statements, no protection—just silence. One viral comment sums it up: “I thought I was self-destructive until I found out about the WNBA.”

Despite everything she’s done for the league, Caitlin’s getting targeted, ignored, and cut from major honors. It’s becoming impossible to deny. And while some players claim the rough treatment isn’t leaguewide, fans know what they’re seeing.

Caitlin isn’t staying quiet anymore. This isn’t just drama—it’s exposure. She’s pulling the curtain back on everything going down behind the scoring table.

After the draft—when all eyes were on the WNBA—ESPN went silent on Caitlin. No primetime interviews. No big feature. Nothing. This, despite the fact that she had already done pre-draft media. That silence was intentional.

Meanwhile, Angel Reese was everywhere—securing deals and headlines. This is the same Angel caught fouling players mid-game, yelling in interviews, and stirring up drama. But somehow, that’s who the league wants as its poster child.

Caitlin gets sidelined for being too calm, too focused, too professional—while Angel gives the league chaos, and they eat it up. It’s not just favoritism. It’s a formula. And Caitlin doesn’t fit it.

Let’s talk money. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese—two rookies carrying the league—are making around $76,000 to $80,000 a year. That’s it. Even though they’re trending every week and drawing record crowds. Meanwhile, Brittney Griner is sitting on a supermax $215,000 contract, even after a 32% pay cut.

When Griner flew to Russia to make more money, the media blamed the WNBA for underpaying players. But what’s changed? Nothing. Because the league doesn’t want just any star—they want a specific kind of image. If you don’t fit it, you’re boxed out.

Candace Wiggins warned us years ago. She was bullied out not because she couldn’t play, but because she didn’t match the WNBA’s unspoken rules. Don’t be too feminine. Don’t be too visible. And definitely, don’t be straight.

Now Caitlin, who’s openly dating Connor McCaffery, is being iced out the same way. The WNBA leans into LGBTQ branding, and that’s fine. But when someone outside that image brings in record numbers, suddenly it’s a problem.

So Brittney gets the royal treatment. Caitlin gets shoved, elbowed, and ignored. Angel can scream in her face, and Trinity Carter can cheap-shot her, and the refs stay silent. One commenter nailed it: “Caitlin Clark is literally getting assaulted on the court, and the refs still miss it—even while looking right at it.”

This isn’t about fairness or safety. It’s about control—about humbling anyone who doesn’t follow the script. The WNBA isn’t going to take the L quietly. They’re protecting Brittney at all costs, even if it means dragging Caitlin down in front of the entire world.

But here’s the thing: Caitlin’s not backing down.
