***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***
- Thread starter Tenacious E
- Start date
She won me over that game she hit a big 3 and afterwards said she “felt like a Hawkeye” when the crowd erupted.
Do they really think a casual fan looks at this and goes, yeah!! Can’t wait!!!
Most will assume Clark isn’t even in the playoffs and won’t watch now

They also omitted stewart and copper. With that being said, on an NFL Sunday, the people who watch will be the people who watch. I will be one of them watching the fever, but I don’t think marketing will change the minds of anyone in this instance.
Those teams at the bottom could’ve tripled their attendance if they moved their games against the Fever to larger arenas.
the witch trying to stir more sheet up....
she talking about Smith?
she talking about Smith?
She's probably just going off the X buzz about Smith not being happy with her touches, no inside knowledge.
Smith should be shipped off to Connecticut. Could make for some unique reality TV, who becomes the power couple?
I noticed this story (excerpts follow) on ESPN.com; I had no idea there was an open trans woman in the WNBA. We all know about Britney Griner, but she has never openly said anything....
Check out the confusing pronouns that this person chooses.
Note that "she" used the "he" pronoun during the 2013 WOMEN'S NCAA Final 4. Yikes....
The excerpts:
Los Angeles Sparks guard Layshia Clarendon, a leader in the WNBA's social justice initiatives, the league's first openly transgender and nonbinary player and a 2017 All-Star, announced their retirement Friday on Instagram.
Clarendon, 33, has not suited up for the Sparks since Aug. 15 vs. the New York Liberty.
They averaged 7.6 points, 3.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game during their 12-year WNBA career.
Clarendon, who uses she/her, he/him, and they/them pronouns, was drafted ninth by the Indiana Fever in 2013.
During the 2020 bubble season, Clarendon and the Liberty wore "Trans Lives Matter" shirts, but Clarendon hadn't publicly shared their gender identity. That changed after the season, when Clarendon shared that they were nonbinary and transgender.
They advocated for LGBTQIA+ inclusive policies across the league as well as for racial justice.
Clarendon led the Cal Golden Bears to their first women's basketball Final Four in 2013. He averaged 16.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists as a senior.
Clarendon said that whenever he ran out of the tunnel and saw signs from fans who were members of the LGBTQIA+ community, he always felt special. Same with fans who bought his jersey because of what he represented.
"Fans were also a light for me," Clarendon said. "So much of this healing work is reciprocal. As much as I was the one to step out on a limb, I felt really caught and held by the queer fan base in the W. That was really beautiful, so thank you."

Clark, Fever vow to stay loose vs. tested Sun
The Fever don't think their lack of playoff experience will hurt vs. the Sun. "You don't get overwhelmed by the moment, and you just approach it as it's another game, and you prepare the exact same way and go out there and compete," Caitlin Clark said.
I see our ole buddy Angel Reese received one vote, so she and CC are basically tied right?
Thank you, Caitlin Clark, for a rookie season that elevated the WNBA
Caitlin Clark proved herself to be that rare player who can lift an entire league on her shoulders.

Not the greatest all time rookie season. Fail.
-Joe’s place, probably

I didn't even notice that.. ridiculous! Angel Reese getting a 4th place vote is absolute insanity. I'd love to see that person's full ballot
Sheryl Swoopes ballot (probably):
1. Wilson
2. Collier
3. Mitchell
4. Reese
5. Ogunbowale

I was not aware that we need to also retroactively use one's preferred pronouns specific to the given period.
Now I am eager to know if Clarendon had a different set(s) of pronouns pre 2013. And, of course, please let us know if she changes them in the future.
It's your job now!
