Time Athlete of the Year, 22 years old. She had a record-breaking season with the Indiana Fever in the WNBA. She shattered six rookie records for points and assists, four franchise records, and multiple all-time WNBA records, including the most assists in a single game, 19.

Reflecting on her impact, she stated, "I've been able to captivate so many people that have never watched women's sports and then turned them into fans." Before joining the WNBA, Clark became the high school and college basketball history at Iowa, drawing a staggering 18.9 million

viewers for the March Madness finale against South Carolina, the second most-watched women's sporting event in US history. Time's Sean Gregory wrote, "Good luck naming another player who altered the trajectory of an entire sports team within five months on the job." And Caitlin Clark responds with the

following: "Adam, I'm going to come to you first. Believe me," she says, acknowledging her privilege as a white person in a league built on the contributions of Black players. In her Time interview, she stated, "I want to say I've earned every single thing, but as a

white person, there is privilege. The more we can elevate Black women, that's going to be a beautiful thing." She also credited Black basketball icons like Lisa Leslie and Maya Moore for paving the way for her success. During an appearance on SNL, despite her unprecedented accomplishments, including all the records that she

had her rookie season, criticism arose over her popularity. Golden State suggested that her stardom reflects the "Great White Hope" syndrome. Okay, that's what they called her. And while the three-time MVP, A'ja Wilson, claimed Clark's race was a huge contributor to

Popularity, it doesn't matter what we all do as black women, we're still going to be swept underneath the rug. T. Adam, I'm going to come to you first. We had this conversation, I don't know, 3 months ago, 6 months ago, during the WNBA season, and I...

was like, "Yeah, I don't give a... um... it's, uh... she's been catapulted to this amazing star." By the way, you know, how many championships she won in college? Zero. She's 0 for 2. She didn't win. Is she a good player? Sure. The WNBA...

is a zombie company that loses money year in and year out. I actually have good news. They were projected to lose $50 million this year, but because of Caitlin Clark and all her great success, they only lost $40 million this year. Amazing! Great job, Caitlin! Thank you so...

there it is. They lost $40 million. Name me a company that continually loses money. "Let's give her a trophy 'cause we only lost $10 million less than we expected!" It's an absolute joke. It's absolutely absurd. Will she be a great WNBA player? Sure. I don't give a... if...

I actually want to see her actually earn her merit. Put her in the NBA. Have her play against Steph Curry. Have her play against LeBron. Have her play against Kevin Durant. Have her play against the greatest players in the world. Then show me what she does. The WNBA is a...

is a zombie company that is subsidized by, who, lesbians? The NBA? Yes, it is. I think 70% less, but that's all. But, by the way, let me just address the racist thing right now, 'cause that's part of it. I just... Okay, the whole notion that she's just...

been given White Privilege? Really? Okay, tell that to the greatest Black female athletes of all time. Tell that to Serena Williams, the greatest female tennis player of all time. Tell that to Flo-Jo or Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the greatest track and field athletes of all time. Tell

that to Lisa Leslie or Diana Taurasi, the WNBA's greatest players of all time. Tell it to the greatest gymnast of all time, Simone Biles. It's absolutely ridiculous. And she fell for it. She fell for the DEI, LGBT thing rather than merit.

She deserved where she was at because she was a good player. But I have one suggestion for you, Caitlyn. You're making, I think, um, I don't know what, sponsors are ridiculous. She makes, I don't know, maybe 150 grand, 250 grand? She makes 24

million, 28 million from her Nike deal. Go donate that to the rest of your home girls out there. Yeah, that... if you actually want to change the narrative, go donate all your money, Caitlyn. I'll take you one more. What, what is LeBron James'

salary this year? I think it's about 50 million bucks, exactly. So, think of the WNBA. They run the whole thing all year long, and they end up with a $40 million loss. Let's just call it what it is: a cost. For the cost of less than one

LeBron James, they can run this massive, diverse, DEI program. The NBA can call it the WNBA, and that's the point. They're trying to elevate women's sports. They're trying to do it, and they see it as a marketing cost, Adam. It's a marketing

cost, because net net, guys, we're we're going to lose 40, 50 million bucks on this. You know what? Guess what? You know, we we'll keep trying, we'll keep doing it. She just lost, like, let me explain to you, I was never going to watch a game, but if there was

ever a chance that I was, it's all gone. Because you know what, Caitlin? You didn't make it to the WNBA because of the color of your skin. You played because you worked your ass off, hours in the gym, you know, sweat, sacrifice and everything, not

not some imaginary head start that you got. Okay, let's be honest with each other. If white privilege, if this was a white privilege was a thing, every broke-ass white person in Middle America would be dunking on all of us. I think somebody, Adam, she didn't

change it, somebody talked to her. They were all, remember all the girls that were just all talking about her from the beginning? This was a tune change because that's how they roll. That's the most that WNBA is walking, the NBA is walking and they had to tell her, "You better change your

tune, or we're not going to get behind you 100%." And she did. She bowed down and that's exactly what happened. And I'll never, I I would I would have bought a jersey. Done what you actually, what what jersey would you have bought, Clark? I'm I

wouldn't. So that's how you know, how I know you're gay, Vinnie. That's how I think it's it's very clever and it's an evil plot on Caitlyn Clark's. What I think she's trying to play nice and say

Some things loosen up the defense and break her own records next year. Oh, that's right. Stop, that's so funny. Strategic. Him, a winner. That guy won the World Series here. What I'll say, I just got a couple of thoughts and, and we'll wrap up because...

Uh, uh, we got, we got certain things we got to do. So, you know, I, I, I actually do want to see the WNBA succeed, you know, because there's nothing wrong with girls competing with girls. There's nothing wrong with that. I actually like it. I think it's great. If, uh...

If that's, when you have four kids, they all have different dreams. All you care about as a parent is, "Hey, what's your dream, kid? Let me help you get to it," right? And I'd love if, if Brooklyn or, or Senna, they're like, "Hey, Daddy, I want to...

be a basketball player." Me, you know, Saturday, Sunday, I, with Senna, she's shooting baskets, and we go back and forth. To record this, she's made six shots in a row. And nice! It's a cool little moment that we have together. I enjoy it. Does she like playing...

basketball? No. We just do it as a form of exercise that we have. I don't mind this winning. I actually want to see the WNBA do well. But what she just did is exactly why I haven't watched a minute of an NBA game this year. I'm...

done. I'm unattracted when, when the NBA did the BLM thing and all the stuff in their NBA field said BLM, BLM, BLM. And they were bitching about everything that's going on. And DeSantis is a bad guy, yet you did...

Your NBA playoffs in Orlando, yeah, okay, where it's the only state that would allow you to do it, and then you want to talk about bad policies of Florida? You came to Florida. Yeah, I was done with the NBA. LeBron James destroyed a great game, and a lot of people can say stuff about

him. I'm I'm just... I still put him as second greatest. I was hoping Caitlyn would stay and say, 'Look, I respect everybody. I've earned to be here. I've worked very hard.' But to go to the victimhood mentality place is so

disappointing, so unattractive, that I couldn't even sit there and have my kids look up to her as a hero. That's the part I... I want to find a hero for my daughters to look up to. We don't agree with the victimhood

mentality. When you put... because we're Middle Eastern, can you imagine us like, 'Oh, oh, we don't have white privilege.' Their daddy is as Middle Eastern as it gets. We don't believe in that stuff. My dad was a cashier at a 99-cent store in

Englewood. The man never complained about hardship. He's 82 years old, about to turn 83. Good luck hearing this guy complain, you know, complain about his health and the pain and all the stuff that he has. We don't have any kind of privilege; about

white people having it over us. I've never felt it that way before. I've never felt it that way with... 'Well, this community is this, that community is this, this community is this...' What an unattractive acceptance speech! What an unattractive acceptance speech by

A 22-year-old that's being fed all this stuff. Such a big turnoff. I'm so disappointed. I was wanting to take my girls to an Indiana Fever game this year, courtside, to watch her play. I'm done. Yep, I'm so upset and disappointed.

With this? You and me both. Why can't you just not make a comment like that? Yep, just play the game. You're playing a game, WNBA. Would you like conservatives to watch the game? Of course they would. Would you like capitalists to watch? Would you like Libertarians to watch?

the game? Would you like independents? Would you like Republicans to watch the game? You don't want to watch the game and you want to keep using the... No problem. Go ahead, just have your liberal audience watching WNBA. Go ahead, do your thing. Not interested. I'm happy that you finally came to

the good side. No, it's not. It's not the point. No, your point, when you were saying, you and I, our debate was that the WNBA doesn't have a shot at being profitable. You know, when you say 50 million to 40 million to this... The biggest, for many

years, Amazon was criticized because they weren't making profits and everybody is like, "Listen, if you're not comfortable with this, don't buy our stock. Don't expect dividends for years. But if you're thinking long term, you're eventually going to make a lot of money." He made

people a lot of money. In an interview last week, he said something very interesting. The guy says, "How's it feel having a net worth of $2 billion?" Two, $200 billion. He said, "Actually, don't look at it that way." He says, "How do you look at it?"

He says, "Well, Amazon is worth roughly 2.4 trillion." He says, "Yeah." He says, "I look at it as I've helped create $2.2 trillion of wealth for other people." Nice. That's the milestone I celebrate. So I hope these guys figured out I want businesses

to do well. Every time a business goes out of business, I don't like it. But I cannot stand, to the core, when we hear these messages about victimhood. It's so unattractive. It's so annoying. And a parent, like myself, doesn't want to

applaud someone like that. Right now we had a meeting this week about, you know, "Hey, Pad, what's the next book you want to write?" Next book I want to write in the next, you know, two to four years... we're looking at what it is. It takes a lot of time

every time we go through this. You know, it's either something to do with business, but a lot of people are asking about fatherhood. Here's the thing: If I write a book on fatherhood, first chapter, you know what it's going to say? "Read this book at your own risk. Don't look at

me as a great father. We'll know if I'm a good father or not in 40 years." Yeah, but if you want to apply... this is how I raise my kids. You want to do it? Great. You don't? I totally get it. But just such an

unattractive thing. It's just not attractive. 10 seconds. Uh, listen to this audience at your own risk. "The WNBA will never succeed. It's never going to make money. It is a zombie organization. It does not have mass-market appeal or provide value."

like Amazon and Jeff Bezos did, uh, there's limited interest. Sports fans, 80% of sports fans are men, zero interest in the WNBA. It's a lesbian league that they're trying to shove down our throats. We have no interest, Adam. It's very hard

to put the proof in the... No, it's not. No, no, the... No, no, wait a minute. Isolate concerns. It's all show. None of it is working. You don't get 18.9 million viewers in a college championship game. That's more than the

NBA Finals. Yeah, but I agree with you. I agree. The only... It goes back to the reason you get it. She's going to be in the... You know why you get it? You know why you get it? Why? It's because the world is obsessed with competition – Reese

against Caitlyn, all that stuff. They love competition. No... For me, she screwed up. Caitlyn's comments just got me to have this much interest in what's going to happen in the sport. I'm out anyway. It... You know how they say it? Keep

going back to make yourself feel like it's two different stories. She messed up because she could have brought a new audience to the WNBA, but she messed up because she caved. And the people in the WNBA, the executive team, think they did the

right thing. They just messed up. They... They had half of the population... You know what a CMO should have done? Should have been like, 'Hey, please say what you say. Try to say something to the American...' I love the... I love America. Greatest...

country in the world. That's all you have to say? Oh, wow, okay, good. She loves the country. She loves America. I'm willing to support you. Want to say, 'Yeah, but I have white privilege, dude?' And we're out. So you just lost that part. I see exactly

what you're saying, how you want to segment different things. Yeah, in my opinion, it's all baked in the cake. It's all baked in the cake, and this is why this leak will never succeed. I can't tell you how many DMs I got from people telling

me, 'Pat, I want my Christmas hat. Where is it?' Well, the reason it wasn't shipped yet is because we sold a thousand more than we had, and that hat just arrived yesterday. We just shipped out a thousand of these, I think, today. That's going out,

and, by the way, for those of you that are on it, that you didn't get it because it was gone, we got a few hundred more for you to get. And if you order before the 15th, you can gift this to a family pre-Christmas. Nice. And people are buying

five, ten, fifteen of these at a time to gift somebody because it says 'Merry Christmas.' It says 'Future Looks Bright,' Valuetainment here, and 'Future Looks Bright' here. These are, if you're somebody that's churchgoing and you like the actual word

'Christ,' 'Merry Christmas,' these are here as well. Limited supply left just for this season. And then these sweaters, I saw Chris Mano, shout out to Chris Mano, the 'Happy Holidays' crossed out, 'Merry Christmas,' incredible quality sweaters are here. You can go to VT merch, and last

but not least, these hoodies. Okay, these hoodies that, uh, Tom works at at Equinox late at night. These ugly sweater hoodies, we have officially... valuetainment is on there as well, on vt.com. Place your order. If you place the order now, you will

get it pre-Christmas. We're shipping these things out again for Christmas gifts. Get these out. It's become a big hit. Future looks bright combined with Merry Christmas. If you enjoy this video, you want to watch more videos like this, click here. And if you want to watch the
