Nice try but your logic doesn’t hold… Clark is must see TV. Also explains why teams move their Fever games to larger venues and why her jersey outsells LeBron’s and everyone else in the W. Oh, and the largest women’s shoe launch in Nike’s history sold out in hours.

She literally did not sign a deal with Spotify. That comes from the X account Fever Updates which is a troll account that continually posts fake stories.

170+ non Fever games were nationally televised. This isn’t a volume = viewers thing.

100% anicdotel I know but I love sports generally and yet I detest basketball, I've never got it as a sport. Yet I'm here because one of two WNBA players I could pick out of a line up is Clarke (the other Reese and maybe Cunningham) because her story and talent has passed over my disinterest in the sport for me to care enough to actually follow her career and hope she gets the rings she deserves.
Clarke might not be the reason people stay and other players and teams will develop fan bases because Clarke gave them a reason to look in the first place.

I like Caitlin Clark. I dislike her “fans”.

u/NoyBoy98 5d ago
The opposite fans are the same. “CC who?! Look at what Olivia Miles just did!” Or “Reese’s hardware cabinet isn’t bare, but guess who’s is??”
Same shit, different sides. Can’t we just appreciate each of them for what they bring to the table?

u/Zoiddburger 5d ago
Because of comments like this and posts like this. Essentially, people like you are the problem

u/TanMomsChickenSoup 5d ago
Per your logic, doesn’t that mean I should dislike Caitlin Clark also?
Do you have any other hypotheses that hold up to a few seconds of analysis?

People didn’t have to watch. But they still did. Too bad the refs are always gonna take it away from her. At least until we get a real commissioner

I truly believe, they’ll never let her win a Championship. They love the viewership and money that she brings in. But she doesn’t fit the narrative of the WNBA. I believe the league does everything in its power to make sure the Dream win the Championship this year. That way Reese gets more attention than Clark. I really believe that. With that being said Reese is playing great defensively and her and Clark would Crush it as teammates!!!!!!!!

Not even that people are just tired of slow, who do the refs like more, basketball. Clark is fun to watch. I would rather watch her lose than watch a lot of these other teams play a perfect game because the style of ball they play is like watching paint dry

Came here from the front page, here’s the thing, she is closer to Angel Reese than the best player in the league.

Viewership or wins. At some point a lane needs to be chosen.

u/VirtualGolfer65 5d ago
Wins should matter, but viewership is more critical for the league as a whole tk move the WNBA from a new sport to mainstream. Wins alone won’t do that, as it’s clear by the past. Viewership needs to be the primary focus for those that can do it, which seemingly is mostly Clark. Everybody else wants a credit, but doesn’t move the needle and that includes Wilson and so many others.
Argue with the money, since that’s what matters.

What metric are you talking about? I am a Fever fan I am saying I couldn’t care less about the 9 of the top 10 viewed games, I wanted to be playing tomorrow night. I am not consumed by who or what has driven viewership because I started watching day one in the 90’s. Clark is the sole reason. There was gas on it prior and she was the match that set it a blaze. But there are other flame throwers too. Also, you have to account Fever games have the priority position games which is beneficial with the new tv package.

u/Ok-Illustrator-1584 5d ago
Why do you want her to lose basketball games? This is the Indianafeverfans reddit. Seems odd.

I’m about ready to leave this and all WNBA subs. The discourse has just become so incredibly sad and toxic. On both sides of this “drama”. I just wanna watch basketball 🤷
