"While Caitlin Clark is undoubtedly talented, putting one individual on such a pedestal can foster resentment in a team sport like basketball. It doesn't reflect the collective efforts that make the game so special ... When you just keep singling out one player, it creates hard feelings."
"As a businesswoman, Johnson should be showing gratitude - not resentment. Instead, she advocated for a participation trophy, asking why Time 'couldn't have put the whole WNBA on that cover.'"
"Without Clark, who was named rookie of the year, the league isn't even sniffing a fraction of the relevance it's enjoyed since she was drafted first overall by the Fever."
"The league has been sold as a showcase of hard-nosed, physical basketball and unrelenting competition, and one that only needed exposure to catch on and become as big as the NBA."
