I think what’s going on with Caitlin Clark in Nike is centered around LeBron. She’s not going to get pushed until LeBron James is out of basketball. She truly is the biggest star in American sports and they won’t make that a reality until LeBron is gone.

I agree with 99.9% of your posts Jason, but a WNBA player is not the biggest star in American Sports.

No way. Caitlin Clark is a player in a fringe sports league. If she was truly the biggest star she would be all over TV not just with Nike. Secondly, sports in general is more popular with males who will always flock to other males who play pro sports. Heck even Payton Manning and Shaq are more popular than CC.

Do these companies not like sales? CC sales would be off the charts.

She's not the biggest star. That is silly. It is Patrick Mahomes. I go to a mall in the middle of nowhere with a picture of both, and I would get double the amount of people recognizing Mahomes. He is in every third commercial. He is the face of the NFL which dwarfs the NBA/WNBA.

I disagree. LeBron creates next to no revenue for Nike outside of jersey sales which they would get the same cut bc Nike sponsors all NBA

Repeating this over and over won’t make it true

Just… no. No matter how many times you say this it won’t make it real. You’re so on point with your takes and your stand for Christ. I don’t understand how you can say this with a straight face? Her league doesn’t even make money. Most men don’t like or watch women’s sports.

Do people still take LeBron seriously?

Nobody watches women’s basketball. It sucks. The only reason for the spike in popularity is based on the drama between clark and reese. The product still stinks

You’re delusional on this one.

She isn't though. Any football player is a bigger star. A few baseball players

@UnderArmour dropped the ball by not signing her.

Agree. CC has huge appeal to girls; they buy sports gear too. Is there a bigger selling tee shirt than “22”?

Agree

Biggest star in American sports....not even top 100. You are right on a lot of things, not even close on this take.

Bird told her to wait out her detractors.

Jason thinks if he says this 10 more times, it will be close to true. 🤣

1. Boys don’t buy girls shoes. 2. Most girls have not heard of Caitlin Clark. Very small market for a Caitlin Clark shoe compared to LeBron shoe.

A woman will never be the biggest star in this country. Sorry.

Jason, just a helpful heads up. No snark. A professor (actually it was USA Today founder Al Neuharth’s son) corrected me on this in college. You center ON something; you can’t center AROUND something. What you can say is that you revolve around something. That said, I agree with your take.

Well said Jason. But the question is it really due to LeBron alone, or just the wokeness that infects Nike?

This doesn’t make any sense tbh. Kobe isn’t even alive anymore and he sells more shoes than half the league or that CC probably ever will. How and why would LeBron care if CC has a shoe? He’s the most known athlete in the US and possibly the world.

Nike is the Kamala Harris of sports apparel and in the way out when it comes to public opinion, so Caitlin Clark doesn’t need them as much as they need her imo

Nike put out a total of ZERO tweets about Caitlin during he epic season. Why?…

This is thie dumbest tweet ever. Stop it you fat idiot! STFU!!!

Caitlin who? You got tunnel vision bro

Why LeBron doesn’t like Caitlin?

Because…..she’s not bigger than LeBron.

LeBron is overrated and he’s a dude (a beta) so there shouldn’t be a comparison. His shoes are ugly and his acting is mid. Time for the next gen to get some of the spotlight.

LeBron? Never heard of her.

Great job, Skap! Lakers balled out today @SkapAttack

Guy missed the Paige Bueckers news I guess.

Stephen a got $120m deal unreal

Guess who was at Long's Bakery today? Yep, Caitlin Clark and David Letterman. Being from Indy, you had to love Long's!

What?🤣🤣🤣🤣😵💫😵💫😵💫
