Caitlin Clark says Collier made valid points and Commissioner Engelbert hasn't contacted her
Caitlin Clark said Thursday that WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert hasnt reached out to her in the aftermath of Napheesa Colliers statement about an alleged private conversation in which the leagues leader made comments about Clark.
The Indiana Fever guard spoke publicly for the first time since the leagues All-Star Game in July. Clark said Minnesota Lynx star Collier made valid points in her lengthy statement that criticized league officials, particularly Engelbert, for what Collier portrayed as a lack of accountability and care for WNBA players.
Collier said Tuesday that Engelbert told her in a private conversation Clark and other players should be on their knees in gratitude for the platform the league has given them. Collier said the commissioner singled out Clarks endorsement deals, saying she wouldnt have them if not for the WNBA. Engelbert released a statement a few hours later in which she said she has the utmost respect for Collier but was disheartened by how her conversations had been characterized.
When Clark was asked if she had heard Colliers story before this week, Clark responded No. When asked if she had spoken with Engelbert since the reports came out, Clark again responded No.

Englebert made an asinine comment. Clark (and others) could make just as much money playing abroad. And the WNBA REFS SUCK!
