Caitlin is force by any measure. I agree that she will need to take a few lumps to pay her dues as any rookie does but I'm also really disappointed in her opponents and her own teammates who can't seem to rise above their own egos and see what the potential upside is for the WNBA. More viewers, larger venues, excitement over a role model-worthy player, all mean more $$$. Sponsors, ad revenue, and ticket sales are what will drive salaries toward parity! Sage advice for Caitlin. She's a powerhouse and force that will be around for years to come!
Agreed totally!!! I think it's trending in a more positive way, and Caitlin appears to be getting more comfortable on a pro court (not too shabby only 20 games into her career), as seen by her triple-double against the Liberty on Saturday--the first time ever for a rookie. In time, she'll be the Larry Bird of the WNBA!

Good stuff except for the equal pay part. That has to be earned by filling the venues the NBA does.
Agreed! Which is why Clark is so important to this league....
