Imagine this other scenario… Caitlin clark gets picked for the Olympics. You have teammates who give her support and love. These new fans start rooting for team USA and starting to like players on the team. And maybe then you might see these new fans tune in to non Caitlin clark games. Steph didn’t create a media sensation because of hate, he did it because nba players were falling off their chairs in excitement watching him splash threes. The buzz of snubbing clark is not even remotely close to the buzz if she made the Olympics. They need to get rid of the old guard of loudmouths like taurasi. They need to get rid of these polarizing media heads who only push wnba because they’ve been deplatformed everywhere else. And there is only so long an entire league can play the role of villain and pit clark up against the entire wnba. |

WNBA On Track to Lose Roughly $50 Million This Year, Despite Explosion in Popularity: Report AHMAD AUSTIN JR. JUN 13, 2024 12:19 PM WNBA Draft Adam Hunger/AP Advertising Although the WNBA is experiencing a level of exposure not seen since its inception, the league is expected to lose $50 million this season. In a report from The Washington Post, a number of sources talked about the NBA’s next media rights deal and how the WNBA factors into it. According to them, some potential bidders have not assigned figures to the WNBA specifically, meaning the league’s rising popularity may not be much of a factor in how much money it receives in the deal. While some sources within the league hope to one day have media deals separate from the NBA, others pointed to the benefits of partnering with the NBA — like sharing resources, cross-promoting, and using the NBA’s massive fanbase to help grow the WNBA’s. Revenue is also an integral part of the conversation. As noted in the report, NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed in 2018 that the WNBA lost an average of $10 million each year since it began. That figure, according to two sources, will rise to around $50 million this year. It’s not explicitly revealed why the WNBA will operate at a bigger loss this year, but the inclusion of charter flights may be a factor. WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said it would cost each of the twelve teams $25 million a year, though many around the league weren’t sure who signed off on the expense. Still, several media executives predict the WNBA’s media rights revenue will triple in the new deal." Holy shit. I think this league may just be ran by completely incompetent people. |

She just got $200 million guaranteed from the Jacksonville Jaguars, so good on her.

Does anybody see how players and media members are now holding Clark responsible for the actions/words of strangers and demanding that she speaks up?
Funny how that's a one way street, and nobody is demanding that from the other side. |

In ideas that make total sense but probably wouldnt happen, wouldn't it be cool if she collaborated with mahomes? She's already a huge chiefs fan. But it seems like bobby stroupe would be a perfect fit for conditioning. The w is gonna force her to become big and physical, but it would be great to see her become quicker and functionally stronger. They want so badly for her to be Lu Dort but she needs to be trained to be Steph curry

It looks like they are trying to shoot a medicine ball into the hoop when they go for layups

Good for Jackson Mahomes. Never thought he'd settle down and be a family man, ya know?
