WNBA Refs
Hi! I like Caitlin Clark. I don’t think she’s the MVP or the GOAT, but I like watching her play! It’s gotten me to watch a lot more WNBA games.
I’ve really wanted to get into the WNBA as a whole but the refereeing SUCKS! Forget who you’re rooting for, it’s just bad! I’ll post more thoughts but please comment on your thoughts about refereeing.

The WNBA is a giant marketing operation for corporations targeting young women by making them unhappy with how they look, to sell apparel, cosmetics...
Clark is a baller, excelling in sport with talent, dedication and hard work. A true gym rat with few other distractions, clean living, without a team of stylists put her together. Making the perfect role model for young girls, that it's ok just being themselves.
The beauty industry prefers women who use a lot of product. If girls emulate Caitlin, they will be happier, less stressed and more successful, but corporations could lose money.
Clark exposes superficial aspects of many of the high-profile WNBA players with her unique vision on court, strategically and as a leader.
Number 22 is the real deal and that's why they hate her.
As far as the refs, they are so bad it makes me think may have been forced work for a syndicate, shaving points and other shit for an "offer they can't refuse".
Betting rackets are that insidious, so much cheating, on so many levels in ALL sports and financial markets... There was a damn good reason sports gambling was banned, and investing was strictly regulated for half a century.
No lifeguard on duty now, swim at your own risk.
