How does Clark make her fanbases watch a game she’s not in? All of them have stated, and I quote, “Clark is out of the playoffs, see you next season”. Hell no, she ain’t getting credit for this shyt.Liberty-Lynx Game 2 draws largest WNBA Finals audience in 23 years, up 115 percent from 2023 Game 2

If Caitlyn made a video on IG live mocking any of her teammates social media would be in an uproar

The Unknown Hype

It’s a mix for sure. I started watching this year mostly following Clark but in watching the finals and watched the semis too
Are you and @CHICAGO fukking morons or trolls??
How did Michael Jordan help the other 30 NBA teams get viewers and other NBA players sell shoes that don’t have the Jordan logo??? He gets credit right?
Millions of viewers watch a sport breaking records that follow one player who broke the same viewership and attendance records in college and we gonna pretend she didn’t lift the tide?
Of course when people are invested into a player or team that helps the league because now they become fans of sport/team/opposing team or hate the star player or are just now invested in the sport and want to watch the finals.
Or you can lie to yourself and say that the world is suddenly invested into Lynx vs NY just because it was suddenly on the algorithm
You don’t have to be a fukking idiot to have Black pride yall overcompensating or something yall probably grew up in white neighborhoods or something

The NBA on CBS was already popular before Jordan. The Celtics/Lakers rivalry carried the NBA thru the 80s before Jordan ever sniffed a finals appearance. It was all laid out for the Bulls when the bigger station, NBC at the time, got the rights for the 90-91 season. Don't come up here talking this nonsense that no one was watching the NBA before 1991Are you and @CHICAGO fukking morons or trolls??

.ESPN has fooled all of you into thinking no one watched any NBA before the bulls won their first title and that's just not true. Fuking Isiah Thomas had a highly rated Disney television family movie before the Bulls won a title and even that was on NBC while the NBA was still on CBS.And I must be stupid, but I'm still trying to figure out how are a group of people that are saying they are NOT watching anymore WNBA until next season, responsible for a sellout stadium? You honestly don't think that's logical to ask?

CLARK STANS HAVE LITERALLY BEEN BRAGGING ABOUT THE RATINGS
FOR NON CLARK GAMES BEING LOW...
NOW THEYRE TRYING TO TURN AROUND
AND TAKE CREDIT FOR NON CLARK GAME RATINGS.
YOU CANT MAKE THIS shyt UP.

But if you are asking legitimately
This “Clark fan” shyt is cure for Coli & Shaderoom and X but in real life the game is the same it’s always been for 50 years
This player is extremely popular. Like over the top, insanely famous and people put their money and attendance where this player goes.
This calls for more media coverage about the sport, more interviews, more debate, more trends etc.
This doesn’t work as well in individual sports as it does team but once in awhile (casuals would know who Jordan Chiles is or “care” about her if not Biles)
But for teams you have to watch the team. And when you go to a game, esp family friendly like WNBA, you’re going to go to more games and watch more games because there are other players/better players/exciting games
I came for CC and I stayed for A’ja/Napheesa/Chennedy etc because they excite me. Last year it was background noise on my TV
A rising tide lifts all ships because not everyone is going to obsess over the star who brings the eyes but curious will watch. And many will stay if the product is good.
They have a good product they’ve had for awhile. But no eyes and boring atmosphere and nothing to “debate”.
It’s simple it’s not rocket science bro. Nothing has changed in 2024, there is no better marketing, no mandate to attend games, no other change in anything but the most famous women hooper of recent times joined the league.
There’s literally nothing to hate on, this is sports and we are not underrepresented here. Kind of like rap and Eminem lol - nothing to cry over but we Black we have brains we don’t gotta play dumb to support our people. Real talk
