The only people losing in this deal are the networks who paid to air WNBA games.

Well, that's it's own story. I have no idea if it's working out for the networks. Curious thoughLeisher wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2026 9:22 am The only people losing in this deal are the networks who paid to air WNBA games.

To be fair, sometimes networks will take a loss on something just so they can check some boxes.TheCatt wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2026 9:24 am Well, that's it's own story. I have no idea if it's working out for the networks. Curious though
For example: ESPN has been known to fill their airtime with stuff nobody watches just to keep with the 24/7/365 sports theme. Is anybody really watching the minigolf championship?
The WNBA is a big box checked as it's professional women's sports.

Re: WNBA
Back before women's college hoops became more diverse, they were some of the easiest bets to make. Vegas could not set the lines high enough. UCONN -60? Yeah, they'll cover that easy, and they would.
That being said, Stranger and I have a friend who I caught gambling on women's field hockey or something. I said, "You know you have a problem, right?" He smiled and said, "Yeah."

Re: WNBA
The WNBA is taking heat from every direction for their refusal to protect their most popular player.
The WNBA claims their #1 star is a black woman on the Las Vegas Aces who has been in the league for years and who just had a marque matchup with another top team that drew around 800K viewers. On the same day, Clark played and drew 2.2M viewers...

Re: WNBA
WNBA players voted Caitlyn Clark as the 11th best guard in their league.
Racism is alive and well.
P.S. The MSM and fans made Clark a starter.

Re: WNBA
A handful of R lawmakers ask the WNBA why they're letting Clark get physically assaulted over and over.
They're just asking the same questions that the MSM, SM, and fans have been asking. Fair question. I don't think lawmakers should be wasting their time with this though. Honestly, the NBA, as the primary funding source for the WNBA, should be the ones asking what the fuck is going on.

Not true any more with the new TV contract ($200 million from TV; $15 million from NBA). Though the NBA does own 42.5% of the WNBA, so they should be concerned with growth.Leisher wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2026 11:49 pm Honestly, the NBA, as the primary funding source for the WNBA,

Re: WNBA
Fair point. So the TV people should be concerned with the WNBA allowing violence against Clark considering the biggest audiences tune in to see her and not the rest of the league.TheCatt wrote: Thu Jul 09, 2026 9:12 amNot true any more with the new TV contract ($200 million from TV; $15 million from NBA).

UConn's women's BBall coach weighs in on Clark's treatment saying, it's not a "referendum on America"
You sure about that?
A white person does well at something bringing added value to the entire league and everyone in it. She immediately becomes the villain because she's the wrong skin color and isn't gay. She is constantly physically attacked while the authorities look the other way and pretend it isn't happening. Additionally, they go out of their way to minimize her impact on the success of the league. People trying to point out the unfair treatment she's receiving are called racists.
That sure does sound a lot like America to me.

Re: WNBA
I laughed, and YES! That also fits! What isn't America about the current WNBA-Clark situation?
