Looking at the number of followers Caitlin Clark has brought into the WNBA, she surely is a superstar. Her opinion is often sought by media outlets on various things. Most recently, Clark was invited to be a part of the famous chat show The View, and if the reports are to be believed, Clark declined the $1 Million Offer. While there is a lot of buzz in the mainstream media about this, fans feel it is a loss for the popular show instead of Clark. The Fever guard’s impact can be understood from the fact that the Los Angeles Sparks star Chiney Ogwumike recently named her as the “most impactful player.”

Ogwumike was present on the Awful Announcing Podcast where she declared, “Clark is the most impactful player that I’ve seen hit the scene, not even just in basketball, but in sports, in a generation. With how she moves the needle, not only in viewership but also in business. And that rising tide lifts all boats. And the reason why I say for a generation is because I have the lived experience…. And Caitlin Clark is bringing new heights, ushering to the moment what we all have been waiting for.”

Clark certainly seems to have brought on a WNBA revolution. The league has seen exponential growth, so much so that the projected revenue for Indiana Fever is almost up by 889% from last year. Most of the home games are a sellout. A watershed moment in the W was when commissioner Cathy Engelbert agreed to invest almost $50 million over the next two years in providing charter flights to the WNBA teams, something that wasn’t seen before.

The league is benefiting, Clark is winning and the women’s sport as a whole is touching unprecedented heights. But a lot of fans are speculating why Clark might have turned down the ABC’s offer.

What were The View’s host’s comments on Caitlin Clark?

As per ABC 3340, the View’s host Sunny Hostin had made some controversial remarks about Clark in May. She had talked about “pretty privilege” and “tall privilege” which might have helped Clark. The 55-year-old spoke these words while discussing Clark’s collegiate career in which she broke numerous records including surpassing the legendary Pete Maravich as the all-time leading men’s and women’s scorer in college basketball.

One would hope that Clark wouldn’t have been affected by those remarks. And now that she has declined the offer from ABC, maybe she can appear in some other chat show for her fans. As for Ogwumike, she is sure that Clark is the most impactful player in a generation and that shows not only on the court but also off it.
