What in the absolute world is Cathy Engelbert talking about?

Here's Cailtin Clark, already well established as one of the biggest names in the sport in a State Farm commercial before she was even drafted:

Here's Caitlin in a Gatorade commercial in 2023 while still at Iowa. She was drafted in 2024:

Two Caitlin Clarks. March 2024. She was drafted in April 2024.

Here's a State Farm commercial with JuJu Watkins, who has yet to be drafted:

Cailtin brought eyeballs to the league that otherwise wouldn't have been there. The league didn't bring eyeballs to Cailtin. Who is Cathy Engelbert trying to fool?

Caitlin. Angel. Paige. JuJu. All are/were stars before ever being drafted.

Oh, and before MLB unveiled instant replay and challenges, did Bud Selig ever say only losers complain about umping?
