ESPN is getting annihilated for disrespecting Caitlin Clark.
The Indiana Fever superstar was a dominant force in college at Iowa. She changed women’s college basketball in ways nobody could have imagined when she first stepped foot on campus.
Clark brought historic ratings with her as she became an all-American and the best player in the country. She left the Hawkeyes as the all-time scoring leader in major college basketball history.
Yet, that’s apparently not good enough for ESPN.

ESPN crushed over Caitlin Clark snub.
ESPN released a video on YouTube titled, “Is Caitlin Clark The Greatest Of All Time In College Basketball?”
Now, you’d think, given the title of the video, she’d be in contention for the top spot (the correct answer is yes), but that’s not what happened.
The 10-minute video ends with her being iced out of the top five.
This is what we call engagement farming. ESPN used Clark’s name and image to drive views, despite not even actually including her in the list.
The internet wasn’t impressed.
Below are some of the comments on YouTube:
Can‘t make clicks without putting Caitlin Clark in the title and on the thumbnail LOL. And that‘s exactly why she‘s the GOAT.
Zero people would have watched this without the click bait Caitlin on the cover
No one…not Taurasi, not Stewie, no one could have led that Iowa team to as much success as CC.
If Caitlin Clark isn’t in contention because she didn’t when the NCAA Championship, then why are you click baiting us with the title to this show? Very disingenuous ESPN. Getting views and trashing CC. Let’s not forget Iowa was BIG TEN Champions and made it to the finals two years in a row, that isn’t easy.
#1: Best player: Caitlin Clark not even close
If anybody wonders why ESPN isn’t taken seriously just show them this piece of garbage.
This is a joke. UCONN & Tennessee were the only two teams for two + decades. No competition, which makes their runs weak. There is way more parody today than when the players you named played. Plus winning championships is a team, not an individual player. Caitlin is the only NCAA player men or women with 3000+ pts, 750+ assists, and 750+ rebounds. Caitlin is better in every metric except defense. Caitlin took Iowa an unknown team to the most popular team in the NCAA.
You spoke about her for 30 secs to kick her out of the top 5, but used her name in the title of your 11 min video? Next video gotta beabout the most used name for clickbait…
Espn, your hate for CC makes us root for her more. Our love for CC’s game is organic, when are you guys going to realize that?
At this point, I think people are just going to blatantly post stupid stuff that make no sense just to get views because they run out of ideas and talent
Nice rage bait, with this logic Robert Horry>>> LeBron lol
ESPN has become a sick joke. I don’t understand your hatred for Caitlin. “Winning a championship” is an arbitrary stat that haters add intentionally to exclude her. You see Breanna on a team without other blue bloods for the first time, and her team finished out of the playoffs.
This is why I stopped watching ESPN, they are so out of touch. Caitlin Clark is the greatest of all the time!!!!! These analysts or commentators are out of touch….
Epic fail without CC
Just say you hate Caitlin… geeze.
You hate Caitlin we get it!!!
Don’t think for one second ESPN doesn’t know what it’s doing. It absolutely does. The network is using Clark’s name to drive attention, despite then disrespecting her.
The fact of the matter is many people only watched women’s college basketball and then the WNBA because of Caitlin Clark.
She’s literally responsible for the three most-watched games in women’s college basketball history. The dynamic guard might have never won a title, but CC literally changed the game.
ESPN knows that. Everyone knows it.
