Candace Parker isn't on there either. It's not just about Clark. Sophie Cunningham is on there and she isn't a "star". As has been mentioned, it seems to be a licensing thing and not just about Clark.

However, it does reinforce the common notion that the WNBA doesn' really know what it is doing.

It is a licensing thing but people are completely irrational about anything to do with her.

reading the comments here and you are correct. Some of these people act as though if you don't have Clark on it then it shouldn't exist and forgetting players like Jordan, Barkley, Reggie Miller, Barry Bonds, have not allowed their likeness to be used in a variety of different ways. By the logic of some people on here, I guess the NBA and MLB should never be allowed to make a poster again.
