Girl power!
WNBA executives found out this week that they will lose another $50 million this year.
That’s despite record attendance and TV ratings for this year’s game.
The WNBA, which kicked off its 28th season on May 14, posted its highest opening month ratings in May in 26 years and the most-watched season start ever on each network: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, ION and NBA TV. Across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS, WNBA games averaged 1.32 million viewers, nearly three times last season’s average of 462,000 viewers.
The WNBA also found that Caitlin Clark’s WNBA game attendance rate was as high as 33.5%.
When Caitlin Clark performed in town, attendance surged 87%.
Numbers provided for you.
Caitlin Clark and Fever accounted for 33.5% of the WNBA’s total attendance this season.

This happens to be the same week that WNBA brass told Caitlin Clark fans to kiss goodbye and go away.
WNBA executives tell Kaitlin Clark fans: ‘We don’t need you.’ We simply don’t want you.
Over the weekend, USA Basketball announced that women’s basketball star Kaitlyn Clark will not be selected for the U.S. Women’s Basketball Team for the 2024 Olympics.
The greatest college player in history, who broke nearly every men’s and women’s basketball scoring and assists record during his time at Iowa, will not make the team.
Brittney Griner, a Russian drug addict who only played one game when he was selected and scored 11 points this year, will join the team!
Diana Taurasi, 41, has played on six Olympic teams and was named to the 2024 national team squad.
But Kaitlyn Clark isn’t the greatest women’s basketball star of all time.
No one on this year’s WNBA Olympic team has made more three-pointers than Caitlin Clark.
Only one woman on the WNBA Olympic team has more assists than Clark this season.
They didn’t apologize at all.
Revealed: Five women made the crazy decision to drop Caitlin Clark from the 2024 Olympic team – was it a racist decision or just jealousy?
Thank God someone from the NBA came to the rescue of these incompetent idiots.
