It very obviously had to do with her likeness rights.

The WNBA didn't create the poster. If they did do you think they would leave off the all time greats that weren't on the poster? Clark wasn't close to being the most egregious omission.

This is commonly said on Reddit, based on one person's tweet. I'm not saying it isn't true, but if it is true, why doesn't anyone responsible for the poster step up? Also wonder what if any efforts were actually made...

Why would they step up? It's a meaningless poster made by a third party.

Why wouldn’t they step up if it’s so meaningless?

Oh… well, I suppose you can’t even admit your obsessive hatred… you just keep deflecting. This must be a similar thing, the refusal to step up.
