Recent reports have shown that WNBA star Caitlin Clark has had a massive effect on the league's television viewership, coupled with the fact that she more than doubled the rest of the league's average attendance in a weekend.
According to a report by Outkick, through the first weekend of June 2024, WNBA games that featured Clark had an average of 1.099 million viewers. On the flip side, games without Clark averaged only 414,000 viewers.
The report noted that the 2023 WNBA season averaged 301,000 viewers per game.
It was only in mid-May 2024 that Clark played in the most watched WNBA game in 23 years, averaging 2.13 million viewers on ESPN2. A Memorial Day game on May 28, 2001, between the Los Angeles Sparks and Houston Comets was watched by an average of 2.45 million viewers on NBC.
The ratings have continued to pour in for the WNBA in Clark's games. Her clash with the Chicago Sky that was highlighted by a body check during an inbound play also brought in much higher viewership than average for the league.

Delusional enough to think that CC is not the "only" star.
There was a comment recently about this “get Clark” mindset. It stated what Clark’s coach needs to do is place an ‘enforcer’ on her team that will protect, and retaliate, until this crap stops. Besides all the insane woke/lesbian WNBA crap, there is, no doubt, huuuuge amounts of jealousy and greed. Clark acquired her $$$ the old fashioned way - she EARNED IT through years of hard work and discipline. Watching her NAIL three pointers from waaaaaay downtown is a joy to watch.
Where can she play “ Overseas” and make the same money and endorsement deals?
I am sure this is a big deal. And quite an achievement.
But I cared less about the WNBA before Ms Clark came along than I did about soccer. And soccer is nothing more than a foreign attempt to weaken American Exceptionalism - sort of like the metric system, with more diving.
I’m sure we will hear endless stories for the rest of this season about the racism, hate, homophobia, etc. this young woman conjured up in the nation. I hope she stays healthy and all that.
Meanwhile, people will take their eye off ballot harvesting.
In Africa they would never have seen life.
so... the question begs asking... are these tripled viewers watching because the white girl is so good, or are they watching in hopes of seeing the white girl get beat up??
So the girl white knight comes along to save the day for the unwatchable WNBA, huh?
I’m sure she won’t get any credit for that from the wokeists in the commentary booths though.
So folks want to see a white heterosexual female play basketball....
“ Angel has a very high opinion of herself. Falsely so. Hate to break it to her but no one gives a sh*t about her.”
Getting to ready to find pictures from pivotal moments in history and photoshop her in them!
Angel helping Washington defeat the British at Yorktown .
Angel flying a plane at Midway and sinking a Jap carrier.
Etc
They fail to give her credit for the increase in viewers which translates to cash for them. So much pettiness and just plain jealousy has clouded their view of Clark's value to the league.
Sad.
So, they're doing that now:)
It’s all about endorsements.
The wokesters can’t see the forest for all the trees.
Clark is saving their industry and they all want to burn her down.
Intelligence and foresight aren’t their strong suits are they?
And the lesbos hate it.
Speaking of gay. The US Men’s Soccer Team with their Rainbow Uniforms just got crushed 5-1, by Colombia.
When we're not red white and blue, I can't support USA.
Go Colombia! 🇨🇴
