Caitlin Clark and the Fever were still able to generate over a million viewers for Friday’s game against the Minnesota Lynx on ION, even while the NFL was on, per

Clark attracts another seven-figure audience despite NFL

Even opposite an NFL game, viewership for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever remained above the million mark Friday night.

ION — the Scripps-owned “netlet” that started carrying WNBA games last season — has now had six games this season average more than a million viewers, all involving Clark and the Fever. Friday’s telecast was the network’s third-most watched, behind coverage featuring Fever-Sky the previous week (1.60M) and coverage featuring Mercury-Fever in July (1.34M).

Later in the night, a fully national Sparks-Sky game averaged 514,000.

We’ve come a long way from the fever will struggle to now them having a super team…with the same players

Super team my ass. The Fever cant do shyt when CC is off the floor. Girl can barely get any time for rest.

She a rookie and 2nd in the league in minutes per game. They need a legit backup PG and a bench scorer next season.

We have eyes that on off is too close to pretend like they don’t use each other. Clark is the engine period.

THEY HAVE 3 ALL STARS
AND A 70% 3P SHOOTER...

OR ARE YOU CREDITING
A SINGLE PLAYER FOR THE PLAY
OF 2 ALL STARS
AND WILLING 70% OF SOMEONES
3P SHOTS INTO THE BASKET?







​

Same “70%” three point shooter that shot 21% and 18% from three the year prior?
What changed that helped her shooting jump? She’s averaging a career high in points at a whopping 5 ppg. I guarantee that shooting percentage goes down if she took more shots or CC wasn’t finding her wide open bc they’re selling to stop CC and Mitchell

SHES A 3RD YR PLAYER...
SHES SUPPOSSD TO IMPROVE.

EVERY SHOOTER IN THE LEAGUE
GETS OPEN SHOTS AND NONE OF
THEM MAKE 70% OF THEM.

SHE WAS A BENCH PLAYER
IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON.

SHES AVERAGING 10 POINTS IN
THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON
AND A BIG REASON THEIR OFFENSE
HAS BECOME UNSTOPPABLE

BTW HERE SHE IS MAKING 10 3 POINTERS AND ONLY ONE WAS CREATED BY CLARK.

I CANT WAIT FOR THE
NEXY GOAL POST MOVE

It's actually a combination of all 3. There are 12 teams in the league so most teams are going to have multiple all stars. This will change with expansion though. And you will start to see more records broken with expansion and more games being played. By the year of 2032 there will probably be around 18 teams in a 50 game season. This mean:

1. More regular eason records will be broken
2. more playoff records will be broken because they will also increase the amount of games in a series
3. more single game records will be broken because you will have a more bad teams that must fill the roster spots with girls not able to make the league today.. So you will see a lot of Arike type of gunning on bad teams from decent players

I'm also being told across many social media platforms that Clark has made Mitchell a better player and increased her scoring by a large margin this season. Being that Mitchell was averaging 18 per game last season as an all star and 19 per game this season as an all star, I was quite confused.
