'I don't really give a f**k': Adin Ross slammed for "misogynist" & "sexist" WNBA comment in viral clip
(Image via @adinross/Kick) Kick streamer Adin Ross is once again at the center of internet backlash, this time for his reaction to WNBA players wearing protest-themed T-shirts. During a livestream on July 20, 2025, Ross went on a heated rant, claiming that only Caitlin Clark 'deserves' to wear the now-viral 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' shirts. Within hours, clips of his comments spread like wildfire across X and Reddit. Adin Ross calls WNBA a 'tax write-off,' says 'no revenue at all' The comments came after Ross watched a clip of WNBA All-Star captains Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier walking out in black shirts with the bold message: 'Pay Us What You Owe Us.' Ross paused the clip, then unleashed. 'Unless you're Caitlin Clark, you shouldn't ever be able to put on a shirt,' he said. He followed up with a monologue where he denied being misogynistic but insisted the WNBA was, in his words, 'probably a write-off for the NBA' and that the league generates 'no f**king revenue at all.' He clarified, or at least tried to, that he 'loves women,' has a mother and sisters, and wasn't trying to hate. But by that point, the clip had already spread like wildfire. Social media explodes as fans, creators slam Ross's 'tone-deaf' take By the next day, X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with reactions. Some called the rant sexist. Others said it was just plain misinformed. 'This nigga genuinely never knows shit about what he's talking about. ' one user wrote. Many fans pointed out that stars like Angel Reese and A'ja Wilson have played a massive role in growing the WNBA's audience, long before Caitlin Clark entered the scene. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe the Price of These Dubai Apartments Binghatti Developers FZE Get Offer Undo One viral reply said, 'To be honest he is right, She is the only reason people are talking about the WNBA.'
