To the ground in a game earlier     this year.     Joining us to discuss his brian     kilmeade host of one nation and     cohost of “fox & friends”.     The caitlin clark stuff and if     we can we will get to the     unseemly other stuff.   

    caitlin clark issue civil rights     violations, i like what he said,     i wrote about civil rights     violations but this is something     the league can do to stop this     behavior?     >> i think they don’t almost     zero, they said nothing, this     was a guy saying they were     beating up lebron i don’t know     what’s happening, but i’ve never     seen such resentment, it reminds     me, for example, nobody cared     about the 70s until paley     came, 77000 people at the     stadium, no one tried to kill,     they played him harder but said     thank you, even the opponents.    

David beckham comes to the mls     and they have a bigger crowd at     his press conference than most     mls games.     This 32-year-old superstar,     there were some people who     wanted to look good against them     but they resent him but here’s     this woman who comes into the     week as legitimate rookie, she’s     up for viewership highest in 20     years so the ratings were up for     the highest two 100%.     Attendance is up 14% year to     year and now all of a sudden     people are looking at the league     because of this mean coin     started growing sex toys onto     the court to get he around their     coin and it worked because the     coin when they found out who it     was on friday started wracking     getting up in terms of value.     >> to take it into pg-13     territory, let’s go with this.     I had to sit through the gutfeld     segment and we were talking     about in making jokes about     this.    

Lisa, we will take it to you,     and maybe a question brian about     this — jokes on gutfeld?     Since one?     >> i didn’t want to be a     killjoy.     I think this whole thing is     terrible.     If you bring one of these     things, there are young girls in     junior high school going to see     these games and there are women     and i agree with the coach, tell     me if you agree, i agree this is     about humiliating these women i     think it is terrible if somebody     gets caught bringing one of     these things, it’s just as bad     as like someone who’s doing in     d.c. exposure, what you think?     >> it makes me laugh and i don’t     know, i’m sorry.   

    ‘s is i’m sorry.     I’m sorry.       >> i want to get myself in     trouble.     She also brings — you talk     about ratings, but there’s     financial value in the and     economist estimates she’s been     able to bring alone, an     estimated     $875,000,021,000,000,000     economic value so would anyone     even care about the wnba if not     —     >> best in the world, i love     anytime women’s athletic goes     forward they did a hard w an nba     has done a horrible job     marketing.     >> didn’t go to cyo according to     blue collar work to bring a     league up.     Even the nfl had to do that.    

Sandlot games and you make     appearances and you let the     community get to know you.     The wnba store since not just     her jersey, sales were up four     100% of the wnba jerseys just     because of her presence, but her     presence is presented by about     80% of the other players.     >> we spent so much time talking     about the drama and the caitlin     clark trauma goes back to their     lsu days associate like that was     new.     However, we seen other players     have this mean girl behavior in     the wnba, is that something     happening already and we just     didn’t know about it?     We are paying attention or is     that just self generated?     >> i don’t know if there was     another superstar in the show     early on when it launched,     people were resenting them     because they just won the     olympic gold in 96 and took the     momentum informed the wnba.    

We knew rebecca and we knew     uconn was selling out 18000, all     of a sudden women sports were     mattering go to the olympics and     make it cold and watch this     league and it felt like a rock.     They were able to sustain the     momentum.     I’m not sure what was happening     because they had nobody to     resent as much as they did this     kid from iowa who went to     indiana and revitalize the sport     and it’s one of the craziest     storylines of had a chance to     cover.     >> the wnba screwed itself on     this deal in my opinion.   

You are right, they been     subsidized by the wnba since the     beginning and a great start with     rebecca with all of this but     what have they done now?     They’ve turned it into a fight     that has for the public     watching, a racial component     rather than unity, which is     something they preach, but don’t     practice and if the leadership     of the wnba this just like any     mission of a sports league     wanted to take control, it would     sit down and say okay, i get it,     it’s hard competition on the     court all of this and for what     you’ve gone beyond where you’re     hurting and it’s already a     failing business model.  

   If they were propped up and     subsidized in the finances and     attendance is coming up, people     have interest in it now and they     are capitalizing correctly but i     will say one thing i have to say     is the mba did a great thing     wanting this to sustain this     week and i love to see people     step up and take charge.     If someone steps up so what do     with the out defending her, it     makes her our modern this     defense.     >> she doesn’t complain, she’s     not trying to start trouble, she     doesn’t want any rough to give     her a call it if we keep     signaling her out because we     can’t help but do it, it makes     it harder for those nursing an     injury right now.     >> when she leaves.     >> people are facing charges,     they probably shouldn’t do it.     >> yes or no, would you step up     and be a coach in the wnba?     >> it’s been offered.     [laughter]     if they could match my salary, i     would.     >> you bankrupt them.     [laughter]
