Ep 1221 | How ESPN Turned the Caitlin Clark Effect into a Casino

Fearless with Jason Whitlock

Jason Whitlock argues the Caitlin Clark effect, as produced by ESPN, is not just sold-out arenas. It is a de-emphasis on winning. Prop bets, fantasy leagues, and the Worldwide Leader in Sports retrained the audience to prioritize a different form of winning. Did Herm Edwards say, "You play to win your prop bet"? Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell cashed everyone’s prop bets in Toronto. The panel discussed Angel Reese’s bounce back in Las Vegas and the fall of Coach Prime.
