WNBA finally decided to announce their RoY winner.  Caitlin Clark got 66 votes but wasn't unanimous because 1 vote went to Angel Reese.

Also ratings are down by more than half since the Fever exited the Playoffs.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

The fact the wnba thread is 12 pages and the mlb thread is 7 pages says a lot about the new WooPig.

Clark is the most polarizing female athlete I can remember. That might have something to do with it. That and with the advent of cable/satellite/streaming you can watch every MLB game, every NBA game. Over saturation has diminished the excitement surrounding any single game.

I remember back when ABC aired "Monday Night Baseball" and NBC had the "Game of the Week" on Saturday afternoon. Fans looked forward to seeing the games, especially games from teams out of their local tv area and from the other league.

Plus the extended playoff formats in each league is ridiculous IMO. There used to be only 4 teams reaching the MLB postseason. Now there's what, 12? Who gives a shit anymore?

   
I'm sorry Elvis......for all of it.

Saw that it was close late so I turned it on. Liberty basically win the title on a phantom foul call. Clown show.

trust me even with Caitlyn Clark nobody still really gives a shit about women's basketball especially women.

It will be interesting to see if there is the same interest next season.

When the fever are playing in the finals vs the sky, you bet people will watch Clark vs Reese

Sounds like they're headed for a lockout.

The league lost $40 million this season.  They want a bigger piece of the negative $40 million pie.

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Depends on what you call ratings.  Regardless, no one gives a shit.  I don't know one person who has watched a minute of wnba and that from heavy sports families that watch practically everything.

What are the women expecting to get ?  They average $75k a year.  A bump to $100k?  When your stars can make more in Europe or coaching or selling cars it's not the picture of health. 

egregious

Did Clark undo her deal in Europe?  Or is she going to play both places?
Splash 11! drop ABE track, too confusing
