      @@idkjames The only team who sold out (I mean for the season) was The Las Vegas Aces. People just come online and make things up. Go do your research. Clark, Angel and Cardosa had sold out jerseys, that’s it. There has been a significant increase in tickets sales for both organizations though. You see the extreme price increase when they play each other and even that game isn’t sold out, yet.

Nobody wanted to play The Aces because they’re too good, so they had no preseason wnba game hence the parentheses. Angel has had a significant impact. Her impact compelled The W to not only issue an apology to the fans but televise her team’s game. That’s unprecedented. Millions of people watched the Sky game on Twitter, IMPACT! As it stands, Chicago Sky v. Minnesota Lynx and LA Sparks v. Seattle Storm are the biggest attendance games in preseason.

    There is a demand for equality here, but equality does not apply to a situation where a single player who is a total phenom, is simply better than all her peers at her craft. Equality is important, but only because it is important to respect the inherent dignity of all people. When it comes to a craft like the game of basketball, however, where Caitlin is simply better than her peers, and more entertaining to watch, it simply makes no sense to demand equality in this context. We as fans are under no obligation to enjoy watching players who are not as skilled or entertaining as Caitlin. Sorry, her *game* is more fun to watch.

      Since I’ve been watching. I’ve already seen better players in the WNBA than Clark. The media hype one person and y’all swear they’re the best because she’s the focal point. But in reality they’re mediocre or one dimensional. Obviously ppl want to watch Chicago Sky and the WNBA in general since 200k was live on Twitter tuning in. What would be the point of watching one team all season? How would anyone really keep up with the league in its entirety?

      I will say Caitlyn has the POTENTIAL with development to be a great pro. She needs to learn to play defense and not get so frustrated when length is in front of her. That’s what caused her to lose back to back championships on the collegiate level. She can’t handle a good defensive player with length, for some reason she gets flustered. The good thing is that can be worked on, so can her defense and a few minor things and she’ll be a menace!!! I’m looking forward to watching her and the other rookies journeys. ❤️❤️❤️

      Absolutely, none of the uproar is Clark’s fault nor Reese (since she’s been a theme of topic in the comments here.) You’re missing a caveat though because nuance matters. Minnesota had more people in attendance as opposed to to Dallas. So the same would’ve been applicable to the Fever if they played in a 20,000 capacity venue. It would have in fact been more sparce since attendance was over 6,000 in Dallas.

The marketing of Caitlyn has made her more accessible. Marketing when her first WNBA game will be and it being streamed on the WNBA app give fans so much more access to her. If other players in the WNBA had similar marketing their probability of selling out games and increasing revenue for the team would be much higher.

    Problem here is that the WNBA had zero decision and zero to do with what wnba preseason game was and was not broadcast. That was a decision made by the cable TV people. They chose to air a major league baseball game instead of a WNBA preseason game and, as a result the Chicago Sky game was not televised. The problem with negative commentary about Caitlin Clark is that way too many people involved with the WNBA comment without knowing the facts. This is a perfect example of that. This had nothing to do with the WNBA office. I am sure if they had their way, every game would be broadcast to every market. At some point, the podcast vididiots are either going to realize that a high tide lifts all boats and embrace that high tide rather than whining. In what should be the WNBA's finest moment to date, you can go on youtube and count more videos that are negative toward the "W" than are positive toward the "W." That is pathetic.
