One user, @chrisd2846, wrote, “She got us all bro. I’m in, hard to be a fan of the league with all the jealous, toxic females. Her team piss me off big time allowing anyone to touch her with no consequences. Boston needs to flatten a couple to send a strong message. Say you love someone, PROVE IT, like sophie,” believing that Clark’s teammates need to act more to prove and show their support for the two-time WNBA All-Star.
Meanwhile, the user @RussM71 commented, “Her brand has now eclipsed the entirety of the WNBA. Her Nike shoe deal is now being compared to the Air Jordan launch. Her patented CC logo is being leveraged by Nike bypassing the WNBA altogether. She is soon going to be worth more than multiple WNBA franchises,” raising how not only she is making a name on the court, but also beating other WNBA stars on their merch value.
The user @glassy_Tam also wrote, “I was at the New York Liberty game when CC just came back from her first injury and she went off the charts! [hearts] Lost my voice for 3 days. Non stop cheering!! So much fun!!!!”
