She is the face of a league, will be a great player for a number of years, and will remain an iconic person for many years after that. To a generation of young girls she is basically Mickey Mantle.

Can't say the same for Jasson Dominguez or Adley Ritschman.

I could give a few thousand examples of stupider purchases in the last few years.
agreed 100 pct only a fool

I think talking about what Clark has done makes for an easier explanation than talking about what she hasn't. She's made the WNBA relevant. Everyone makes time to talk about it on their show now. The games are national news. Everybody in the country knows who she is.

Every sport needs somebody like her.

Tiger Woods was that for golf -- probably the greatest individual impact to a sport the world will ever see. He was hated by many of his peers even though he made them all more money. While her worldwide reach isn't the same, Clark is very similar.

I think Tiger is a great comparison. Hopefully Clark is able to maintain the good will.

Imagine being the guy who paid $200,000 for a Wander Franco card.

But what would Wander Franco have to do with a transcendent athlete? He wasn't one. He was just the number 1 prospect and there's one every year.

If they can sell it for $1,000 more than they paid for it, they're not stupid. Time will tell.
