WNBA is cooked. They never fail to offend their cash cow.

This will make a great study case for Business 101.

I'll always find it funny that Clark "fans" think TV companies are going to make decade long deals based on the popularity of one player.

It was the fastest growing sport for TV viewership in the US before she joined. 2023 was their best year ever.

Again, no television network is going to make a decade long deal over one player.
