Skip Bayless Criticizes WNBA for Failing to Support Caitlin Clark

Skip Bayless returns with a keen analysis concerning Indiana Fever's rising star, Caitlin Clark, a second-year WNBA player. The league saw a surge in 2024, setting records for television ratings and attendance, a momentum largely attributed to Clark's dynamic presence since her debut season. While veteran players should celebrate this newfound visibility, which promises greater financial prospects for the WNBA, Bayless argues that he perceives a negative sentiment. He attributes the league's failure to capitalize on Clark's rising stardom to "jealousy" among her peers. During a recent podcast, he voiced concerns over the WNBA's hesitance to protect Clark, suggesting officials fear backlash from other players. Currently, the Fever hold a 2-2 record, but Clark will be sidelined for two weeks due to a quad strain.
