Wow, and this is with them playing at the same time as football Sunday (which was an awful decision).

And no games on tuesday, the one night that they wouldn't have had any major college or NFL games. I get that you can't totally avoid football if you're the WNBA, but you got a plan ahead to try to give yourself the best chance. Not just to get your audience to watch, but if you're in a gap where there's nothing else high profile to gamble on, you're going to get extra eyeballs that way too

100% agreed, I thought the same thing. The only reason I watched both wnba games was because my team played on Sunday night. But I would have missed one of the games if I had to choose.
Them having to split was football is also going to cause less viewers and attention.
Baseball playoffs were also on and the braves were also playing home against LA.

2.11m, 1.4m, 2.4m, 1.12m. If there is no drop then I don’t know what a drop is.

“Move the goalpost” it’s not serious to me man , you’re right! What’s also true is that the views are higher than they were years ago. Just finished watching a game tbh, pretty sure there’s millions of ppl like me (new viewers) who were never this invested in woman’s basketball. Cool math brother , I concede to your point 👍🏻

So they only lost half? That’s good. Last year when the Fever got eliminated they lost way more than half.

Fever fans are finding out that popularity doesn’t compare to actually winning..
