The last game for a month is on now. They take off for Olympics/All Star game.
For years the WNBA complained about losing money each year (they have never turned a profit) and they finally get a superstar who’s selling out arenas so the other players want to tear her down.
They are supposed to lose $50M this year.
Caitlin is having a good rookie year.
Fever still sporadic. Always fun to watch though
Very.
When are the He-shes going to start playing and take over the WNBA?
Then how do they stay in business?
NBA pays for 1/2 of the bills....wNBA uses ticket sales and other revenues...the rest is a loss...call Jon Taffer...
Caitlin Clark is the Jackie Robinson of Straight women in the WNBA.
Caitlin tonight: 24 pts, 19 assists (yep, 19), in a loss to Dallas
Meanwhile paint was drying on the park benches in front of the public library.
19 assists is a new WNBA single game record. Old record was 18.
“Then how do they stay in business?”
NBA owns 50% and five NBA team owners own WNBA teams.
Will the WNBA grow legs ? Long lasting ones from this ??
Not sure I'm ready to bet the ranch just yet.
I watched! They shoulda beat Dallas (6-19) now Ugh!
Caitlyn needs
224 assists Rookie record
744 points Rookie record
Or Angel Reese will get ROY if that happens bye bye W
What was up with the Lynx coach wearing “Black Girls Rock” T? Who’s behind that brand?
Only about 30% of the WNBA is lesbian.
