It has been predicted that Caitlin Clark will leave the WNBA and form a new league with some of the biggest names in women’s basketball. Clark has become one of the most well-known athletes in America very quickly, and her WNBA career is generating more attention than ever before. She was voted Rookie of the Year by almost all voters, capping an incredible rookie season for the Indiana Fever. Clark received 66 of 67 votes from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters, with Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese receiving the remaining vote. According to American sports commentator Jason Whitlock, Clark would be smart to capitalise on her celebrity status by launching a new league that competes with the WNBA.
“Half the WNBA right now is overseas, playing in some foreign league because they don’t make enough money during the WNBA season,” Whitlock stated in an interview with his Fearless program. “They already participate in competitive leagues. How about creating a rival league? There are two types of rival leagues in America: one that runs in the summer and the other that begins right now. Saudi Arabia, I’ll tell you who’s going to pull this off. “What I can see, they can also see. Man, Caitlin Clark and women’s basketball are gaining so much traction. The individuals in charge of the NBA and WNBA, Adam Silver and Cathy Engelbert, are moron. They are unsure of how to make the most of this Caitlin Clark gift.
Whitlock believes several other WNBA stars would jump at the chance to follow Clark to a breakaway league, where they would be able to capitalise on the new wave of interest in women’s basketball.
“I don’t know fully where Caitlin Clark stands, she may be a closeted feminist but I know money talks,” he stated. “I believe Angel Reese will join us; money and attention are all that matter to her. Juju Watkins will be the first to sign on. I believe Paige Bueckers would be happy to participate. Even though several of her teammates have joined the Unrivalled League, Clark has decided not to participate in any off-season competitions. With Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, and Brittney Griner among the other celebrities participating, Reese is the most well-known name on the entrance list. Clark, in contrast to other colleagues, will now have a chance to recuperate and rest after taking the lead in an unparalleled season for women’s hoops basketball.
