Get ready, Fearless Army! Jason Whitlock rips into the WNBA's self-serving narrative, declaring we've gone from the "age of suffrage" to "suffer-age" as Commissioner Cathy Engelbert takes credit for Caitlin Clark's monumental success. Engelbert claims the WNBA was "ready to capitalize" on the buzz around Clark and Angel Reese. But Whitlock exposes the audacious lie: The league's "success" isn't due to brilliance but is solely propelled by a "singularly exceptional group of college players" like Clark, who shattered viewership records. Jason dissects every metric, every inflated claim, and every attempt to diminish Clark's individual impact, revealing how the WNBA is desperately trying to co-opt her stardom while simultaneously allowing her to be targeted. This episode isn't just about the WNBA's grift; it's about the broader feminization of sports and media. We'll expose the absurdity of a woman running for NABJ president and the ongoing travesty of male athletes competing in women's sports. Then, Steve Kim joins the fray to further expose the media's desperate attempts to control the narrative around Caitlin Clark. Why are figures like Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright suddenly calling Clark the "biggest star"? We'll dive into the uncomfortable exchange between Pascal Siakam and reporter Greg Doyel and pull the curtain back on LeBron James getting ruthlessly dunked on. ​​Today's Sponsors: The Last Rodeo Don't miss The Last Rodeo, a compelling story of grit, redemption, and family values, in  theaters right now!.
