Update. 7/9 highest viewed games this season feature Clark
Reese was only in 2, when they played Clark of course.

People are not tuning in to watch the wnba (or angel reese), they are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark. Just in case anyone was still in doubt. Top 9 this season:

Sky/Fever - Clark and Reese
Fever/Sun - Clark
Fever/Liberty - Clark
Fever/Sun - Clark; the fever and sky bother played this day; looks like the viewers decided who they wanted to watch more; also fever had attendance of 17,700 and sky had 6200.
Sky/fever - Clark and Reese
Sparks/Aces - neither
Fever/mystics - Clark
Liberty/Sun - neither
Fever/Sparks - Clark

Attendance:

Indiana fever - lead the league by a lot at ~17k which is FOUR TIMES the number for the fever in 2023.
Liberty is 2nd at 12.5K
Angel reese team is less than half at 8k in a market 3X the size lol. They were at 7k last year so Reese is bringing in a whopping 15% increase compared to 400%.

There’s nothing compelling about Angel Reece’s game. Nobody wants to watch her flail under the goal rebounding her own misses.

God it was so painful watching that at lsu but you gotta pull for your team. She can lose all of the games for the rest of her career now as far as I’m concerned. I’m actively rooting for that.

Is there anything that our Caitlin can't do?

She's already led the league-worst Indiana Fever into playoff positioning.

Rooting for Angel and LSU over Cait and Iowa a few months ago is one of the three biggest regrets of my life.

Caitlin was also in the most watched basketball game ever on ESPN when Iowa played UConn in the final four.

That’s weird. I was told here that Angel Reese was the reason people were watching. Would have thought that more people would have tuned into lsu v Iowa champ game.

On the unlikable scale Ben Simmons is a 3;Jesse Waters is a 10. It is hard to be more unlikable than that guy.

Looking forward to the simp melt on here the next time a black girl clotheslines her outta the air with another hard foul.

I got no problem with those gals taking out their anger on this hype train

You’re also the one that thinks Reese is more popular, more important, and a better player because she won a college title. You’ve already let everyone know that you shouldn’t be taken seriously lol

Reese by far.

At least we don’t really hear from Simmons. Reese has to make sure she’s the center of attention some way

I lean toward his politics but that dude is cringe. Ideal example of a "ride the wave" political pundit grifting as a hard right, Christian conservative. Similar to the local preacher fricking the deacons wife and spending church funds to live lavishly while constantly admonishing others for their sins while portraying himself as the most righteous of all.
