I'm a 78 year old male, played, attended, watched all sports all my life - WNBA wasn't even in the vocabulary - now because of MS Clark I know the names of all the players on Indiana Fever, and a substantial number of Player names on other teams - certainly didn't know you, but here I am subscriber to your channel - excellent discorse on every episode - cheers
Enjoy it. Caitlin has a target on her back and players are going to continue to take cheap shots and eventually it will catch with Caitlin. It's only a matter of time.
I think the W management is examining how to ease out whackers and assaulters such as Carter, Reese, Griner, Diggins, Magbegor, DeShields, Young, and enabler Witherspoon. It’s also looking into the amateur/intern referees.
I'm not a US citizen. I live in the Republic of Panama. Never ever had I watched, much less followed women's basketball. Somehow, CC entered my UA-cam radar and now I'm hooked on the Fever, CC, LH, Mitchell, Boston, and the rest of the squad. I am totally enjoying their wins and their record-busting playing. That's clarkonomics in a nutshell.
Great program. Being a Phoenix Mercury fan I have followed the WNBA for many years. But the coming of Caitlin Clark has hugely boosted my interest in the league. She is such an exciting player and a great person.
A little more on the CC effect, last year they had a home attendance of 81,336 and at an average of $60 per ticket that is $4,880,160 total (avg) this year their home attendance was 340,715 at $174 per ticket (avg) that is $59,284,410 for a difference of $54,404,250. That is a large increase and is based off of CC and isn't even figuring in ad revenue and merch sales. 😳
Wow wow wow that is an incredible difference of an impact. No other player has done what cc has done ever in the Basketball woman’s league. thank you to her and her teammates for making a difference.🏀👏😀
Imagine going from 81,000 in attendance in Indiana one year and then 623,000 the next. Also realize that those tickets in 2024, in high demand, were also likely far more expensive than those sold in 2023. Then, consider all those extra fans buying merch and purchasing at concessions each game. It's unbelievable. A franchise the owner once described as a tax write-off is now a money-making machine. If you consider how much money Fever ownership is making on the team this year, keep in mind that the total player payroll for the year is only 1.4 million. Clark-enomics, indeed.
Caitlin Clark is the MVP to me because she brought a lot of us into the league, gave us aspirations, and helped her team to the playoffs, which they haven't been since 2016, and she broke WNBA records in her rookie year.
That is such a given. Gifting the 2024 MVP title to a player that sells fewer jerseys than Kate Martin, her rookie team mate that plays extremely little since the Olympic break redefines the meaning of “valuable”.
She not only broke rookie records, but also WNBA records, (but that simply cannot stand), vs the old ladies. Simply said: She's (CC) just too new, and not a Jew, and too many assists and points she's threw makes us jealous with a need 2 puke.
Rachel, please keep your analytical videos going. I enjoy them and your candid and honest perspective. I agree with you regarding Kate Martin and her minutes. We can all speculate why her minutes have severely diminished during the second half of the season. Regardless of the reason, I humbly think she should be getting substantial playing time to continue to hone her already great talent and skills. Maybe, trade her to the Indiana Fever.
But what happens if Caitlin Clark decides she would rather play in Europe where she'll make more money and get more appreciation? Or if one of these fools injures her and she's out for the season? That growth will wither away and the people that have been clamoring for more money and more recognition will then have neither. Yet they cannot seem to comprehend that. I'd love to see what happens this is a truly bizarre situation.
Hi Rachel, you offer the most balanced and educated reporting I have seen yet in the world of sports, and I'm an OG who remembers ABC's "Wide World of Sports", "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" as the ski jumper takes a terrible fall off the side of the ramp. You seem to be able to cover any sport with the same excellence, accuracy, and professionalism and you're not reading from a script or teleprompter, unless of course you are reading stats or quoting a source. I have especially liked your coverage of the WNBA, and being a new fan-boy I appreciate your takes immensely. Maybe Geno and Sheryl could take some hints from you on how to evaluate talent honestly.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I was literally going to comment those very same words to her. But I think she might be getting tired of hearing me say it over and over again. So I'm glad she gets to hear it from someone else now.
She is by far the MVP. No one else is even close. But she won't get it. Until just recently ESPN had Angel Reese still as the #1 rookie. The powers that be do not like Caitlin Clark. She is white, Catholic, heterosexual and from Iowa. All bad things.
It's not only the number of tickets that have skyrocketed for Indiana ( 4 000 - 17 500) but the prices too (from ca $40 - $144 average). And I guess the other teams increased there too. I really love your videos, keep'em coming.
CC has brought a positive effect on this league more than any other player in history. she has brought more people in attendance to the games more viewers on the TV. A better quality of basketball. She is the true MVP. Wilson does put up great numbers for herself, but Kaitlyn has brought in much more positive effect to the whole league.
If you remove the games the Fever played in other arenas from those teams’ attendance totals the contrast between the Fever and the others would be even more pronounced.
CC is delivering money to cities all over the league. All those people showing up spend money on local hotels, restaraunts and other businesses. She is good for local economies. There ought to be a GDP figure for CC now. Gross domestic money being made because of her.
First year fan and my impression of the W is between the inability of the league to change the toxic culture and the horrendous officiating, they are begging new fans to find better things to do with their time. Clark is magnetic enough for me to give this another year, but unless there is improvement, I don't think the draw of Clark will be strong enough to come back.
I was never a fan of basketball until I saw Caitlin Clark in a random Instagram reel. I became a fan of both Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Now I watch every single Fever game. Becoming a Fever and Caitlin Clark fan in 2024 was never on my bucket list. from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
This is in fact a continuation of the economic impact she had in Iowa. It's reported that was over $82,000,000 over the last three seasons. The fact that Fever ticket sales surged even prior to the draft showed the public was more than ready to embrace this movement.
For all the Swoops and Genos and all haters out here here is reality check if Clark didn’t join league this year there is no way 3 additional teams would be added this quick if at all yet commissioner can’t even acknowledge that and refs have no decency to stop bully ball even though she’s giving everyone raise. Like Nancy Lieberman said she will make all these players millionaires one day.
The WNBA has a small window of opportunity to take advantage of the Caitlin Clark effect. Today's sports fan has a very short attention span, especially for something new. If there aren't drastic top to bottom improvements, from league administration, to ownership, management, coaching, officiating, and player behavior on and off the court, then the ever-expanding bubble they're in is going to burst.
Very good point, agree totally! Much more of the poor play- as in aggressive fouls and fighting, and I'm out. Obviously would be checking back in every now and then to see how CC is doing!
Hi i am an NFL fan, this is the firs time I am watching WNBA because of Caitlin Clark. I hope racism and violence against Caitlin will stop soon or i will go back to NFL.
That 6,251 was played against Dallas on the road. Dallas decided to play their game against Indiana at their usual venue with a capacity of 6,251. If they only played that game at Mavericks arena (20K capacity), it would've been a sold out..and it happened to be one of the best game of the season. So, kinda misleading//
@@life-pm5xlthey cant handle the noise from so many fever fans. they tried it once and satou said she was baffled theres so many fever fans than wings at their home. myb theyre trying to lower the pressure with smaller arena.
How many teams simply chose not to up size for the opportunity? Chicago had two chances, but it seems like they didn't want the Clark fan base to take credit for that .
So who doesn't get that CC *is* the only rational choice for the league's MVP now? Her once in a generation, record breaking skills on the court - and the ability to fill pretty much any stadium she plays in say it all! And oh yeah, she can and should still be the ROY too!
I live in the Iowa city area and attend Iowa Hawkeye sorting events. I have loved seeing the growth of the Hawkeye women and have loved seeing a number of them get the opportunity to play at the professional level. We have been so lucky to have coaches through the years that foster very close knit family like relationships in their players. Experiencing Clark, Gustafson, and Martin playing for the Fever and Aces has been a fun ride, but I hope that more of the wnba players will eventually recognize the incredible benefits Clark has brought to the league and stop trying to diminish her with their hateful rhetoric and physical play which sometimes seems directed at targeting to end her career with injury. I am pleased that most of her teammates have grown to value how her basketball IQ enhances their play. Thank you for you valuable analysis of games and beyond! Jedn Bordón
I’ve watched more WNBA games this year (all but one Fever games) than I have since the WNBA started. I watched the inaugural game and pretty much that was it. Their “best player” that they try to shove down everyone’s throats Ajia Wilson…I had no clue who she was or what she ever looked like like until this year. 😂
The thing not factored in by those graphs is the amount of money to buy a ticket to an Indiana Fever game. The ticket prices for Fever games are upwards of 400 percent more than all those ticket sales. I think for the Fever Sky game tickets were going for thousands of dollars.
@@chhansen9813 Please stop with the all caps. Yes, not all the seats are that expensive , but every seat at an Indian Fever game costs more than at any other game.
It is such a breat of fresh air to listen your views. There is so much vitriol on other programs that I don't want to tune in; plus there is so much melodrama, so much yeliing. Anyways, you are appreciated.
They need to be careful about “growing" too quickly. Take baby steps and learn from each step. Take steps now, to extricate the league from political and social agendas. The game needs to be cleaned up from all the entitled lesbian thuggery. You are smart Rachel, Good video.
I prefer Caitlinomics . BTW - everyone elses highest attendance is when the Fever came to town!!! If Caitlin was to decide she didn't want to put up with the WNBA any more, the WNBA would implode.
Another nice, well-researched, no bs video. Love this. Keep 'em coming, Rachel. (aside from your vids, I rarely watch an WNBA-related talking head video from beginning to end . lol)
Rcahel I love your balanced and well researched content, your basketball analytics and love of CC. You have excellent diction and articulation, and it doesnt hurt that toure gogeous to boot...more power and God Bless❤😊❤
MVP- Most Valuable Player… causes pause for cyphering. Value as in TV ratings. Value as in new levels of ticket sales. Value in elevating an entire sports league. Value as in elevating a bottom feeder team to play off contenders. Value as in setting/breaking rookie AND league records. To me the VALUE to the entire league make the MVP a clear choice!!!
Love your videos Rachel and I enjoy the fact that I can walk away from the screen and still love your show because I like what you say and how you sound. You are wonderful talent.
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and am really enjoying it. Thinking back over my lifetime as a serious sports fan (I’m 73 so that’s a very long time) , I cannot think of a single player in a team sport that has had this type of impact on an entire league like CC has. I myself have discovered all the other great players in the W but I likely would not have if not for Caitlin. I’ve been blown away by all the talent to players in the W. So the CC effect and Clarkonomics are very real. And we’re just getting started!
Angel Reese has "brought viewers" huh? Well, she hasn't played in a few weeks now, have the WNBA ratings dropped? No? Then what "viewers" are you possibly talking about?
I think the WNBA needs to make a profit before even thinking about expanding. They need a new commissioner who will replace a number of bad referees and get the players under control. The planned expansion will only complicate matters. The WNBA might play in prime-time but they are not ready for it.
Swoopes the racist says she’s not dominant though & then the supposed top WNBA analyst Monica Mcnutt defends Swoopes and says people shouldn’t criticize her. The media is really turning me off from this league
@@ddespair her comments are clearly backed by her racial bias , she’s upset that a white girl is getting more spotlight and recognition than she did. She tries to discredit Clark’s talent in every way and gets proven wrong every time, she blatantly made up lies about Clark saying she was 25 years old in college and taking 40 shots a game when neither of those are true. She only has harsh criticism towards and refuses to praise Clark but doesn’t do that with other rookies like Reese or Rickea Jackson. It may not be 100% of the reason she doesn’t like Clark but to say it’s not a factor would be extremely ignorant.
@@Tdawgg23well she might be a bit upset that no one gave the wnba a chance until a white girl showed up. She was a pioneer in the sport. Anyways, other black stars from her era like Lisa Leslie have said very positive things about Caitlin. I can do a search for Caitlin Clark and all I get is this white vs black thing. I guess white people now finally can see what black people went through when they couldn’t even play sports with white people. White people are seeing one black person supposed verbally attacking a white person and you’re up in arms with hundreds of videos about it. Now I see what black people went through ten fold. This isn’t racism you’re sweeping. You don’t know what racism really is. Racism is not being able to go the same school, or have the same rights or be lynched in the south. So maybe there’s a bias and a Jealousy on swoopes’ part, but don’t use a word like racism for a basketball game.
you are outstanding , I Luv your objective observation and your positive insightful point of view. I enjoy so much how you pack and break down every statement with relatable / informative numbers and stats , To captivate everyone and make them understand the full picture , even if they weren't here from the beginning
All these awesomeness coming out of Clarkonomics are only legit while Caitlin's in the league and playing, but they keep whacking her..one of these days, one of those hard whacks going to injure her and maybe even force her out of the league. And then they'll be back to square one again, maybe even worse and sad than before. Commissioner should do something to protect her, but she's as clueless and gutless as the rest of them. Ah, well//

Kate Martin's jersey selling better than A"ja is the reason she's not getting play time in my opinion

Works better than Bidenomics.
Tama ka! You said it!

The WNBA should change their logo to a silhouette of CC shooting a step back logo 3, that's what i think
Would be nice but you know WNBA is so biased and racist.

@JonJon-wf5yj $174 average per ticket. Is that pushed high by corporate boxes? How much is a ticket for the average fan?
And the concession sales exploded too
Excellent point. It's not just the number of seats. It's seats + avg price per seat. So it's an 11x increase.
Honestly this one year is probably more than the previous 23 seasons combined. Has to be close.
When it comes to CC and the WNBA and Indy the girl is priceless!!
Thank you for sharing important information , the CC - CAITLIN CLARK EFFECT👍🏀

In the Philippines CC is the MVP ,no one come close
The Caytlyn Clark Effect is real
Caitlin*
first superstar the wnba has ever had 💰📈
Many will argue this point, but it's demonstrably true.
Caitlin Clark is the MVP to me because she brought a lot of us into the league, gave us aspirations, and helped her team to the playoffs, which they haven't been since 2016, and she broke WNBA records in her rookie year.
That is such a given. Gifting the 2024 MVP title to a player that sells fewer jerseys than Kate Martin, her rookie team mate that plays extremely little since the Olympic break redefines the meaning of “valuable”.
100%
The WNBA should lean in and give the MVP to the person who gives us the most aspirations instead of the best player on the best team like the NBA
She not only broke rookie records, but also WNBA records, (but that simply cannot stand), vs the old ladies. Simply said: She's (CC) just too new, and not a Jew, and too many assists and points she's threw makes us jealous with a need 2 puke.
It doesn’t matter who gets the actual award. We all know who the MVP is this year.
Excellent video, thank you!
The caitlin clark effect we truly love to see it

CC is THE REALITY! Rookie of the Year is a given, MVP should be! She's the most valuable player in the WNBA right now.
She is by far the MVP. No one else is even close. But she won't get it. Until just recently ESPN had Angel Reese still as the #1 rookie. The powers that be do not like Caitlin Clark. She is white, Catholic, heterosexual and from Iowa. All bad things.
Caitlin Clark better be the MVP bottom line if not we all should boycott
It would be interesting to see a report from the Indianapolis chamber of commerce

Don’t forget that she improved the numbers for every other team as well. When the Fever came to town the games sold out.
CLARK is a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR. She will bring in more fans from all over the world...just to see her play.

I prefer Caitlinomics . BTW - everyone elses highest attendance is when the Fever came to town!!! If Caitlin was to decide she didn't want to put up with the WNBA any more, the WNBA would implode.
Another nice, well-researched, no bs video. Love this. Keep 'em coming, Rachel. (aside from your vids, I rarely watch an WNBA-related talking head video from beginning to end . lol)
Nice video, no one is impacting a sport like her
Rcahel I love your balanced and well researched content, your basketball analytics and love of CC. You have excellent diction and articulation, and it doesnt hurt that toure gogeous to boot...more power and God Bless❤😊❤
Whoa! Way to go WNBA!
MVP- Most Valuable Player… causes pause for cyphering. Value as in TV ratings. Value as in new levels of ticket sales. Value in elevating an entire sports league. Value as in elevating a bottom feeder team to play off contenders. Value as in setting/breaking rookie AND league records. To me the VALUE to the entire league make the MVP a clear choice!!!
Now they got the playoffs scheduled on Sunday also
Love your videos Rachel and I enjoy the fact that I can walk away from the screen and still love your show because I like what you say and how you sound. You are wonderful talent.
Also the Portland Fire is coming back 🔥🔥
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and am really enjoying it. Thinking back over my lifetime as a serious sports fan (I’m 73 so that’s a very long time) , I cannot think of a single player in a team sport that has had this type of impact on an entire league like CC has. I myself have discovered all the other great players in the W but I likely would not have if not for Caitlin. I’ve been blown away by all the talent to players in the W. So the CC effect and Clarkonomics are very real. And we’re just getting started!
The Caitlin Clark Effect baby Let's gooo🔥🔥🔥🔥
Better perspective- 50% higher than next best. Crazy
Need a TOTAL MANAGEMENT CHANGE in the WNBA especially in scheduling among other issues
Clark’s Clarkenomics…love it…
Clark's rising tide lifts most boats but Reese wants to pull the plug on her own sinking boat.
nobody under the age of 14 knows who sheryl swoops is
Love your show!
Every game this season for the Indiana Fever whether it's at home in Indianapolis or on the road is really a home game for the Indiana Fever.
Before they could not sale out a high school gym
Angel Reese has "brought viewers" huh? Well, she hasn't played in a few weeks now, have the WNBA ratings dropped? No? Then what "viewers" are you possibly talking about?
If they give CC the mvp it is going to upset Blacks and Lesbians, maybe too much change right now
I think the WNBA needs to make a profit before even thinking about expanding. They need a new commissioner who will replace a number of bad referees and get the players under control. The planned expansion will only complicate matters. The WNBA might play in prime-time but they are not ready for it.
We don't want the money we want the respect.
Swoopes the racist says she’s not dominant though & then the supposed top WNBA analyst Monica Mcnutt defends Swoopes and says people shouldn’t criticize her. The media is really turning me off from this league
What has she said that is racist?
@@ddespair her comments are clearly backed by her racial bias , she’s upset that a white girl is getting more spotlight and recognition than she did. She tries to discredit Clark’s talent in every way and gets proven wrong every time, she blatantly made up lies about Clark saying she was 25 years old in college and taking 40 shots a game when neither of those are true. She only has harsh criticism towards and refuses to praise Clark but doesn’t do that with other rookies like Reese or Rickea Jackson. It may not be 100% of the reason she doesn’t like Clark but to say it’s not a factor would be extremely ignorant.
@@Tdawgg23well she might be a bit upset that no one gave the wnba a chance until a white girl showed up. She was a pioneer in the sport. Anyways, other black stars from her era like Lisa Leslie have said very positive things about Caitlin. I can do a search for Caitlin Clark and all I get is this white vs black thing. I guess white people now finally can see what black people went through when they couldn’t even play sports with white people. White people are seeing one black person supposed verbally attacking a white person and you’re up in arms with hundreds of videos about it. Now I see what black people went through ten fold. This isn’t racism you’re sweeping. You don’t know what racism really is. Racism is not being able to go the same school, or have the same rights or be lynched in the south. So maybe there’s a bias and a Jealousy on swoopes’ part, but don’t use a word like racism for a basketball game.
Ignore the Media. You don't need them to embrace the WNBA.
you are outstanding , I Luv your objective observation and your positive insightful point of view. I enjoy so much how you pack and break down every statement with relatable / informative numbers and stats , To captivate everyone and make them understand the full picture , even if they weren't here from the beginning
All these awesomeness coming out of Clarkonomics are only legit while Caitlin's in the league and playing, but they keep whacking her..one of these days, one of those hard whacks going to injure her and maybe even force her out of the league. And then they'll be back to square one again, maybe even worse and sad than before. Commissioner should do something to protect her, but she's as clueless and gutless as the rest of them. Ah, well//
