Arrr, matey! Sheila Johnson, the fair owner of the Washington Mystics, be sayin’ that Time Magazine oughta hoist the entire WNBA crew on its cover, not just that lass Caitlin Clark! Aye, give the whole fleet a chance to shine, or ye be walkin' the plank!
Arrr mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with the tale of Sheila Johnson, the fierce owner o’ the Washington Mystics! This savvy sea captain be takin’ issue with Time magazine's choice of Caitlin Clark as the "Athlete of the Year." She be claimin’ they should’ve crowned the whole WNBA crew instead, for the league be brimming with talent, aye!Johnson be spoutin’ words of caution, suggestin’ that puttin’ the spotlight on one lass could stir the stormy seas of racism within the league. “Why not put the entire WNBA on the cover?” she bellowed, her voice echoing like thunder over the waves. She lamented the missed recognition of many talented players of color, feelin’ the media be playin’ with a treacherous hand o’ race.
With Clark snaggin’ a hefty $28 million deal with Nike, Johnson's crew be feelin’ left out, shoutin’, “What about us?” As the Mystics heartily profited from Clark’s popularity, they packed the house, settin’ attendance records! But alas, Johnson chose to publicly criticize, stirrin’ the pot instead of celebratin’ the bounty o’ talent in the WNBA. Aye, a raucous debate 'tis afoot on the high seas of sports! Yarrr!
