Caitlin Clark To Appear in CBA Meetings as Players Brace for Strike

This confirms what Michael Jordan‘s agent, David Falk, wanted the Indiana Fever star to do. He claimed her presence would help sway the discussions to benefit the players. It seems the WNBPA is acting on that suggestion, and Caitlin Clark will be present at those meetings.

Caitlin Clark should help players avoid striking

When the first mentions of the CBA discussions started to become public, Angel Reese had talked about sitting out. She made it clear that the women in the WNBA deserve to be paid, and anything less will force them to strike.

Several fans and some right-wing media members slammed her for suggesting that a strike or lockout could become a possibility. The New York Post’s Madeline Kenney spoke with several sources who confirmed that players are bracing for a possible work stoppage.

If that is where they are headed, then Caitlin Clark being present in these meetings over the All-Star weekend would go a long way to help avoid that. She is the ‘golden goose’ of the WNBA, and owners know that the revenue they are currently enjoying is mostly due to her impact.

Last season, the Indiana Fever enjoyed most of the outcome of that impact. This season, the impact has spread league-wide, when it became evident that teams garnered much higher ticket sales, even for games without Clark.

Hopefully, for the players, the owners, and the league will listen to the most impactful person. There are 108 days before the deadline, and the hope is that Clark’s words help the players avoid stopping work as well as the momentum that has gathered over the past few years.

Caitlin Clark talks about being the Face of the League

Currently, there is no clear-cut face of the WNBA. Some believe A’ja Wilson is the best person to represent that moniker. However, fans and most of the media believe Caitlin Clark is the de facto face of this league.

You take it as it goes. The attention, whatever that is, I don’t want to say I get used to it, but to an extent, you do. People are gonna criticize you, people are gonna praise you, no matter what it is when you’re playing on this level, and you have this type of spotlight… that’s just how it’s gonna be.

Caitlin Clark replied

This was the Indiana Fever point guard’s answer when a reporter asked her what it takes to be the face of the league. From her answer, it becomes evident that she knows what the pressure of being the face means.
