Then they talk about the social media push for A'ja Wilson to get her own shoe. Why is it that only white female players in the league have their own shoe? And will the social media pressure push it over the edge? Then they discuss the creepy reporter at Caitlin Clark's opening press conference and how her fame will bring a spotlight to the issues around women's sports in addition to its greatness. Then they discuss Whoopi Goldberg on The View calling out ESPN for not re-negotiating their TV deal with the WNBA sooner. This leads to a conversation about how people are fixated on the amount of money players make or don't make rather than the game itself.
