    We are talking about basketball, a sport that has both great black and white players in both leagues. Clark isn't taking over a "black women's" sport, she is merely making the women's basketball league relevant due to her playstyle. Woke people are angry that Clark is white and not a black lesbian.

    This POOR LIL WHITE GIRL has gotten the WNBA more press in one season than it has in its whole history
    Even Bubbas that hates women sports are showing up to protect White Woman from suffering

    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    this mfg controversy has been a very effective economics/marketing move. people are talking about the WNBA, people are buying tickets to go to W game.

    when Caitlin Clark's Fever team was visiting LA to play the Sparks, the game drew over 19.5 K spectators; that's more than the Lakers would normally draw in a regular season game.

    again, a very savvy economic/marketing move by the W​

    true or false.- wnba players are jealous of Clark because she is getting unprecedented attention and money at levels none of them have gotten before, and some resent her because she is white.

    True or false - golfers were jealous of Tiger because he was getting unprecedented attention and money at levels none of them got before, and some resented him because he is black.

    It’s not that complicated.

    IMO the WNBA is not very exciting / entertaining .... It is unwatchable.

    That's why there are no advertising dollars paying billions to put their product on their network.

    That's why the average WNBA player makes ~$147,745.

    Clark as the #1 pick earns $84k

    Wemby, last years NBA #1 pick earned $12,768,960 as a rookie.

    The top earner in the league is ~$255k ..... the top NBA players earn over $50million

    The league isn't profitable and the NBA subsidizes it to the sum of $15m per year - the NBA also owns half of the league.

    Of the original teams, only three remain .... the rest have folded up shop.


    It isn't profitable because it isn't entertaining.

    It isn't profitable because women do not support it enough. Caitlin Clark may start to change that.

    ESPN is out here covering it like people actually watch it. I don’t care about whatever squabble whoever got into. Give me some coverage on the finals coming up.

    Why would women support something they really give no *** about?

    The vast majority of women really don't care about sports.


    Just look at the attendance numbers for the league in general. 6,615 average last year while even the bad NBA teams draw 3-4 times that.

    The WNBA is very much a niche product - it appeals to a very narrow band of consumers.
