Down 55%. When are these racist, lesbos going to realize who your golden goose is. And for the record, I love this.

With the Minnesota Lynx loss to the Seattle Storm, there’s only one remaining undefeated team and that is the New York Liberty!

Sounds impressive

so a league of lesbians without their biggest star can still get ratings for their regular season that are only slightly less than the NHL playoffs?

"Through the first two rounds, games on ESPN platforms are down 28% compared to the 2024 playoffs, averaging 886,000 viewers per broadcast, while games on TNT Sports platforms are down 19% year over year, averaging 882,000, according to Nielsen ratings cited by Sports Media Watch."

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark’s absence due to a strained left quad has had a significant impact on WNBA TV ratings.

The league's TV ratings have declined with Clark sidelined.

Nationally televised WNBA viewership is down 55% since her injury, according to Nielsen.

Fever national TV games are down 53% since Clark's injury – 1,810,000 average viewers before her injury and 847,000 viewers since her injury for Fever national TV games.

Are people really surprised by this? The league has lost money since it's existence every fricking year.

Even the Fever lost HALF their viewership. So you have diehard Indiana country basketball fans and then the other half is the rest of the Country that casually tunes in JUST to see Caitln Clark.

Not since MJ have non-fans of a team/League tuned in just to watch ONE player and see what all the talk is about.

This is damning to the WNBA and their stupid Press spin (the woke female Commissioner of the WNBA wrote some OP-ed piece in the NYT or somewhere saying the growth of TV #s and interest in the WNBA is fans are finally recognizing all the great players in the League and all the great basketball.

In the article she attributes it to the great "rookie class" and mentions Angel Reese, Cameron Brink and Caitlyn Clark all on equal relevance in the same sentence... In fact in the 1,000 word article, she mentions Clark just 3 times but goes on about all the great players of color, whitewashing the League's historically unfriendly counterculture lifestyle and woke mindset that turned average Joe off for decades.

At least they still had Angel Reese for one of the games to pull in 1.92 million viewers.

Down 55%

Number kinda seems like BS when you look up what channels they were on. Of course a game on Ion is gonna get less views.

The CBS game with CC got 2.2 million and the one without her got 1.92 million. That's a 13% drop.

Clark's first four games were shown on ABC, NBA TV, Prime Video, and CBS, respectively. Since then, the team's games have aired nationally on NBA TV, ION, NBA TV, and CBS. The team's fifth game against the Dream was not broadcast nationally
