Of course, Alex did not get to comment on the Caitlin Clark drama last week, so the conversation quickly shifts to the drama, how bad it's gotten in the days since, and the league's complete mishandling of, well, everything. The guys talk about how the league is now being treated like a major sports league for better or worse and the ups and downs of having a rising league before transitioning into disbelief at the leagues treatment of Caitlin Clark. As this situation reaches a seeming boiling point, fans are getting tired of the drama, and the league seems more intent than ever on torpedoing it's momentum, Casey and Alex have a passionate discussion on what can be done, the extent of the issue, and the major changes needed for the WNBA to continue this pace before ending on a happier note. This is a can't-miss episode during what could be a hinge point in the league's history, and we invite you to join the discussion!","meta_description":"Today, Alex Golden is back in the driver's seat as he joins Casey Johnson to talk briefly about the Fever's win over the Sparks headed into their week-lon…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2552,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/setting-the-pace-a-pacers-podcast-768329/episodes/the-wnba-s-supposed-caitlin-clark-problem/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/setting-the-pace-a-pacers-podcast-768329/the-wnba-s-supposed-caitlin-clark-problem.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
