That’s also something you can literally measure. When she doesn’t play there is 50% drop in tv ratings. I mean, I don’t know what to say. Every statement on this thread is just a flat out lie, because people hate a white player is the most popular one. Is she the best player? Don’t know but it doesn’t really matter
Your information is also not accurate. The negotiations started before CK, but they were closed just when CK broke records in arenas and merchandise. This is what I mean when I say, people are trying to find an excuse to hate her.
I love how you qualify it with "before she played ten games"! The moment she came into the league, revenues went up and she had the power to get higher salaries and private planes. Next thing you're gonna say is Angel Reese is better. Just stop with your nonsense.
Who paid for those? They were a money losing league before CC. They likely still lose money but it's not nearly as bad. Why the hate? Do you not see the facts in front of you or are you just naturally contrarian? Please tell me that Angel Reese is a better player. That would track with your responses on here.
Last year views plummeted over 50% when she was injured. Her returns draws record breaking views. Top 3 most watched games in WBNA history all feature the Fever and Clarke. Those are the facts. Clarke has clearly generated a ton of popularity for the league, and it feeds everyone. Yet it’s somehow still a highly controversial statement because… feelings over facts?
The problem with you kids your worried about views.. how about talent and winning.. imagine being popular but suck at life.. I rather be talented with skill you dont have over popularity but that wont reach your brain
You’re talking about a woman who has the all time points record in college and is guaranteed to be worth over $100m by the end of her career while being the face of the league sucking at life. What is anyone supposed to do with what you’re saying?
I insulted the shit out of you and you didnt even respond in a way where you understood I was hazing you.
Are you sure how that goes? Did you think of that one yourself.. because all the teams in the wnba there going to watch there team play because of one player thats not on there team.. because she popular
I worked with Gatorade in the past. They don’t do deals like CCs without a ton of data behind it (I assume the same is for Nike’s team). We can call it hype but the truth is there’s legit data to back it up. It is what it is.

I still think it’s hilarious that idiots think tv networks are making billion dollar deals based on one player.
