The fact the League hasn't embraced Clark but been openly hostile just shows how stupid, inept and catty, trashy, ghetto lesbian clannish this welfare league is.

When you don't have to financially support yourself, you're just free to be petty.

The best thing for Clark and others would be for the NBA to cut them off.

Then see how the League treats her.

Clark should do everyone a favor and go play overseas so we never have to hear from her again & the WNBA dies. Win-win all around, right?

What are the other factors?

There were 6 million Twitter views on posts with Angel Reese yesterday. Caitlin Clark has set record views all year but the highest record number just happens to be when Angel Reese is on the other team?

Reese controversy has paid off dividends

Angel Reese

lol.
Of the 9 highest viewed wnba games this year:
7 were Indiana fever games
1 was a Chicago sky game
The two games that Indiana did not play in were not Chicago sky games
Tell us more how Reese is sharing this tv viewership boom

quote:

Sunday afternoon

Maybe so. Prime time does play a part. Although two of the top 3 viewed games this season were on a Tuesday and a Thursday, both Indiana fever games, of course.

network TV

These games were on network tv before. So why are ratings getting crushed this year, mostly in games featuring Clark?

So why aren’t games that Reese plays in without Clark in the top bunch?

Sky numbers are higher since Reese got there.

LSU numbers higher when reese was there

Clark numbers higher when Reese was her opponent.

You can try to deny it but Reese adds views.

That's just a fact

You said a whole lot to avoid answering the question.

Surely Reese could have carried ONE of the top 9 by herself if she brings so many viewers.

Reese (and the WNBA) need Caitlin. Caitlin doesn’t need Reese (or the WNBA).

Caitlin had the opportunity to earn exponentially more money doing the Big3 league than she will in the entirety of her WNBA career. She wanted to help grow the game of women’s basketball and she’s the one doing it.

I’m waiting for his response on why Reese couldn’t have been in at least one of those top 9 on her own. I’d think if she was such a big draw, she would have been able to grab some of those top viewed games without having to ride Clark’s coattails. But “she adds viewers” I guess

She should be able to increase attendance as well, being such a huge draw?

Clark has brought a 400% increase in attendance to Indians while Reese is responsible for 15% in Chicago. In a market 3X as big. Yikes.

The hostility is driving the numbers

The majority of added viewers is for “us vs them”

None of your responses even addressed the statement I made about caitlin Clark's highest rated games being vs angel Reese.

You said the top 10 viewed games were all caitlin Clark. Where did I say otherwise?

Caitlin Clark is the biggest draw, but Angel Reese drew more viewers than any of caitlin Clark's other "rivals''.

Why is it impossible for you to accept that?

Lying to yourself is stupid.

Only if she (rightfully) claims that she was a victim of racism on the way out.

You really don’t have much of an argument.

Does Angel move the needle -sure.

Is it really even worth mentioning compared to Clark?
