Clark games selling out, Clark merch selling out, Clark bringing a HUGE fan base to the W, Clark being a phenom in Women’s Bball. The league went from $60 mil to $200 mil pre Clark.

    It’s Caitlin Clark and the entire draft class of the WNBA this year that brought about this change. One thing I noticed that the coach of the Lynx said in the interview is that revenue is up a lot already this year, and that’s because there’s so much attention on that draft class. You saw what happened with the Sky game when it wasn’t televised on the app. Something similar happened last night with the Seattle Storm game because people wanted to see Nika Muhl play. I was watching a bootleg stream of the game on twitter from a fan in the stadium. Most of this is because of stars from this draft class. I’m going to be watching the Aces because Kate Martin made the team, and the Wings because of Jacy Sheldon. And of course Chicago because of Reese and Cardoso.

Caitlin can prove instrumental in changing that forever. I gotta give her more credit because she has the taller task.
