I Guess Everyone Forgot About Caitlin Clark..

The 2026 WNBA GM Survey is out… and it's BAD. From Caitlin Clark somehow falling in “build your franchise around” voting, to league GMs ranking Chelsea Gray over Caitlin as the best point guard in basketball, this episode dives into what feels like a continued pattern of disrespect toward the most impactful player in the sport. Rachel breaks down why the league still seems hesitant to fully embrace Caitlin Clark’s dominance, popularity, and influence despite the numbers, the ratings, the ticket sales, and the on-court production all speaking for themselves. She also reacts to the MVP voting, Paige Bueckers hype, Rookie of the Year predictions, Indiana Fever expectations, and why the WNBA may be losing momentum after everything Caitlin brought to the league in 2024. Is the league taking its biggest superstar for granted? Rachel gives her honest thoughts.

Just lil ol me$

Thank you! About time to stop recirculating bad takes on CC, wnba fans, etc. let’s just enjoy the game and focus on feeding positive takes. Way too many need to stop being offended when a clip or quick take SEEMS to be an insult. It’s social media - that’s the point. We all need to touch grass and realize SM is not real life. Good luck staying away from wnba rants- it can be a hard habit to break!
Great Podcast!
