Caitlin Clark CALLS OUT WNBA For Choosing Griner Over Her

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.
