- Before the start of the WNBA season, the 'Caitlin Clark effect' has enabled other teams to make lots of money. Besides having the preseason and regular season tickets sold out, the Dallas Wings are a very big beneficiary! Today they Indiana Fever plays Dallas Wings in their first preseason game and we cant wait to see how it goes.

Single-handedly changing the game. This will rightfully benefit everyone. But haters would rather hate.
Thank you ❤️❤️
So true.. there's no logic in the way they think...
Yes but I would question 600 dollar tickets lol
It’ll be all women hating on her as usual. N then blaming men
They complain about their pay. Here comes the woman who is gonna increase their pay and they're a bunch of jealous cackling hens. I hope women with brains like Arike Ogunbawale accept this fact btw she can still shoot the rock. Dribbling, step back, 3 pointer, game over Dallas. I ❤ Caitlyn, Arike, Skylar and Cameron.
Income to restaurants, parking, etc, helps everyone. Good going!
So true! The Caitlin Clark effect ❤️❤️
Honestly I would never know the names of some of these good WNBA players if it wasn’t for Clark.
Clark is the new face of the WNBA.
I would know the names of none of them.
@@dualrays - Bragging about being ignorant is the new face of Clark's fans
@Detroit Since84 Most of you Johnny come lately want know the their name cause you never watched women college basketball as well. The Wings have a PG that shoots from downtown just like Clark. She is fantastic to watch. Dallas have a pretty good team. However, one of their star player is on the injury list.
Just like Jordan helped everybody in the nba
I have no interest in watching the WNBA but I will watch the Clark games just because of Clark.
Thank you so much
Actually, I said the same thing at first but after watching the Fever's preseason game (and it was also my first time ever watching the WNBA altogether), I was impressed with the play of all the ladies and will probably watch a lot of other games this season.
Same here..I'm 75 yr old male and have never watch boring, sissy lady basketball..but I DO NOW!..,even paid the 13 bucks for that funny League Pass they have..all because of Caitlin, Reese and that other girl Sky acquired, the tall one. Big fan now!👍🏻😊
@@fathertime7232 The big one the Sky acquired is Kamilla Cardoso from South Carolina. I also watched Cameron Brink and Rikea Jackson in last night's game with the LA Sparks. The WNBA has got a special draft class this year and if they were smart, they should stream these preseason games for free so that people can get a look at this talented draft class. However, whoever is in charge of marketing (in my opinion) does not know what the heck they are doing and they are throwing away a golden opportunity to advance the popularity of this league.
N that’s the problem, it’s great that she bringing ppl to the game but new ppl never seeing these other women play, n yall over hyping her is just ridiculous. Makes me wonder how yall would treat her if she was to disappoint yall n don’t win. It be ppl like yall saying she’s the best ever when yall never even seen the other ones play. Smh
Clark brought that money. Not the rest of them women
Caitlin Clark has value and that's what she brings to the WNBA lets be real here she's the face of a league that was struggling to sell tickets now there mad because this is we want see put on a clinic
That's true. CC is the new face of the WNBA. The older players should get used to that 😃
SHE DESERVES COMMISSION FROM THIS.
I hope things are about to change generally for the WNBA
Believe me she is all right!
its the clark attack
Oh yes! ❤️
Caitlin❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
WNBA players need to chill , this girl all their sugar mommas
💙💙
💯🔥
Caitlin clark effect ❤❤❤
This $19 million deal has taken over two years to hammer out. I live near Iowa City and have seen and felt the Clark Effect. This deal isn't part of that.
Thank you.
From what I can make of the 2 year deal- like any business deal, it was taking that long due to concerns with whether it would make profit in a certain timeframe for investors- there was a lot of concern and what-ifs. This recent few months , and in part, driven by increase in ticket generated revenue, they pulled the trigger and completed the deal. May not have been the inspiration of the deal, but it's not a stretch of the imagination that since the indicated future revenue stream increased by three fold as compared to previous years, the CC effect had much to do with the finalization timeframe of the deal. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at the meeting, and the 'go' for completion of the deal was no doubt unanimous with all parties. The CC guarantee!
Still the Goat of losing back to back in the championship game keep it up 💯
nice story but if not for Clark the WNBA would go back to irrelevance ! lets hope she isn't injured EVER !!!
They are not coming to watch WNBA. They are coming to watch Caitlin Clark. The WNBA has always been low rate entertainment and more like a circus freak show. For the league to continually grow they need to get the circus element out of the game.
Thank you 💙💙
The "circus freak show" element is ignorant fans invading the sport who freely admit they are ignorant about everything about the game other than Clark. The ignorant invasion is like a disease, a cancer, that if not medically eradicated, will eventually destroy the game. The new ignoramuses Clark has brought to the game are malignant.
What do u mean by circus I watch w before
What a crack of 💩 😂 now that your princess joined the circus ,you will see who really play ball 🤣!!! (logo 3’s 🥱 ) doesn’t win games, but you already know that 🤷♀️ peace ✌️!!
Too All You Haters, No Matter How Many Good/Bad Games Clark Has People Want To See Her Play. All These Teams Are Making Money Because Of Her and Hopefully That Will Generate Bigger Pay Checks For All These Players. Can You Stop Seeing Skin Color and/or The Fact She’s The New Face Of The WNBA? Yes, She’s Getting Most Of The Attention, Just Try and Enjoy She’s Something Different Then These Other Players.
Generating profits for ticket brokers isn’t helping the WNBA directly, doesn’t hurt
Thank you ❤️
I love her. Will see her play on Thursday ❤️
That's a small start to paying back the NBA and the promoters that have lost their ass on this crap
# 7 Pick is already complaining
It was unfair to her team
She did NOT ONCE complain that was the media…STOP SPREADING LIES…
@@michellesmith9522 you must understand the game before you make any nonsense comments.
@@michellesmith9522 Thank you !! this has been the problem from the beginning , all the lies and folks fall for it smh
they need to stop fudging the numbers! how can they make money when they cant even Give Away Tickets!!! i was handed 4 tickets and they went straight to the trash??? sold out is just a figure of speech😂
Who is the highest paid mavs player
It is Luka Doncic who earns an annual salary of about $40 million.
Overpaid
they should of miss last shot to do overtime. They need to learn to milk it
It's the begining of a great Basketball era. I know things will get better
Ain't nobody playing to lose!!!! Indiana needs to work on perimeter defense or their season will be disappointing. I feel our offense will be good tho. I want us to at least make the playoffs.

The La Vs Seattle game sucked. No energetic flow and I feel for commentators having to fake it
Total attendance for this ‘sold out’ game: 6,251 and there still plenty of empty seats. Total capacity of the venue: 7,000.
Adopt a wNBA veteran for only $18.99 a month.
Thank you.
"Caitlin Clark" has no "effect." The "effect" is the tens of millions of dollars in advertising and marketing promotion that was spent for the first time this past year on women's NCAA basketball, and the advertising campaign selected the white face of Caitlin Clark as the center of its promotion campaign. Clark was selected for her national demographic appeal, NOT because she was the best player on the championship team, as has historically been the practice.
So, without Caitlin Clark, do you think they would had spent that money? Do you think Nike would had given her a $28 million shoe deal if they didn't think they could make 3 - 4 times that amount, if not more? Why hasn't Nike signed any of the other WNBA players to that kind of deal? Why has the players never hit the milestone to get paid for jersey sales yet Clark's jersey is sold out and people are waiting for the backlogged orders to come in?
@@saysoun752 - dude are you tone deaf? All your dumb questions were already answered. Let me repeat it so your brain can process it - ITS ALL THE RESULT OF THE FIRST MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR A WOMAN PLAYER that Clark was lucky enough because of her demographic appeal to be selected "the face" of the campaign.
If another top player was selected to be "the face" of the ad campaign blitz instead of Clark, then THAT OTHER PLAYER would be getting a $28 million shoe deal and jersey backlog, because that other player would be the player everybody was familiar with from the ad campaign. If Clark because of her demographics wasn't the center of the ad campaign, then NO ONE WOULD KNOW WHO CLARK WAS, so there would be no reason for NIKE to give her any shoe contract or for her jersey's to sell.
Seven year earlier, Kelsey Plum broke many of the same NCAA scoring records Clark broke, but Plum never received any NIL deals, TV commercials, nor have a multi-million dollar ad campaign select her as "the face" of a national ad campaign - that's why Plum didn't get any NIKE shoe deal or backlog jersey sales when she entered the WNBA. Didn't they teach you in school about the tree that fell in the forest, but nobody heard it? Plum did much of the same scoring that Clark did in college, but with no promotional ad campaign behind Plum, she remained comparatively unknown. The only reason Clark is known nationally is because of the promotional ad campaign that promoted her nonstop 24/7.
The same ad campaign would generate the same results for any player if they were equally promoted. Why didn't the ad campaign select the best player on the championship team like they usually do to promote instead of Clark? Simple...the best player on the championship team doesn't 'look' like Clark, doesn't have her marketing demographic appeal. Clark is not any "greatest of all time player," she's merely a good player who is the beneficiary of a massive promotional campaign and she is naturally cleaning up all the free money being thrown at her. Don't blame Clark for taking it if they are going to throw it at her for free before she has even played one pro game.
Its the players that came before Clark that established NCAA womens basketball and established the WNBA - all Clark has done is come along after the fact and financially cleanup from all their previous work - she owns them a lifetime of gratitude.
Let's just be honest, Caitlin is a once in a generation type of talent the same way Jordan was when he came into the league. She's gonna financially help EVERYBODY in the WNBA. A wise man once said "a rising tide lifts all ships." Nike wouldn't invest in her like that if she wasn't that good. Her success means success for the entire WNBA. And they badly need all the help they can get! After all these years they have yet to make a profit. But they're masters at losing money. Now they actually have a chance to turn a profit for the first time ever. It would be better if everyone supports her instead of trying to tear her down. And honestly she was the best player in college basketball. The only reason she could never win a college championship is because she practically had no help. Yea she was phenomenal but nobody else on Iowa's women's team was. Jordan has 6 titles but didn't start getting them until he had the right supporting cast around him. CC never had that at Iowa. She had to do all the heavy lifting on her own which is why she took as many shots as she did. Angel had that support at LSU and Kamilla had that at South Carolina.
@@mrpj1390 - Tired of the excuses of Clark "not having any support at Iowa." Whose fault is that? Ans: Clark and Iowa. Clark and Iowa have full access to recruit and sign all the same players that all the other teams had, so quit the jive excuses - all you do is expose the ineptitude of the Iowa coach and its star player in recruiting the proper talent. Iowa coach Bruder has been on the job for a quarter of a century and Clark (a luckly local signee) is the first Bruder player who will play any significant minutes at the WNBA level. The fault for any lack of support is not in the stars, but at Iowa.
Clark fans are eager to characterize the WNBA as "losing money," but corporations don't stay operating for 27 years because they are insolvent. That's stupid talk. Money-losing corporations don't have 27 years of multi-million dollar national broadcast contracts...dozens of multi-million dollar sponsor partners...billionaires requesting expansion franchises...thousands of fans already attending games, and millions more viewing broadcasts. Is the WNBA as profitable as the NBA? Of course not, but that's not the proper comparison since no major female sport exceeds its male rival and if you look at the NBA at year 27 (1973), it was on many levels behind where the WNBA is today - hell, the NBA Finals in 1973 wasn't even worthy of being broadcasted live - it was on tape delay.
Clark being a "lifting all boats" change agent at the WNBA level is speculation at best. Like a new toy for a child at Christmas, she indeed will spark a novelty of new interest, but generational players produce and endure on the field of play. Michael Jordan produced and endured year after year on the field of play. We will see if Clark produces and endures on the field of play where it counts - not just off the court in gratuitous sponsor deals, individual perks, and media promotion.
U have no idea what u r talking about the games were not shown because the NBA was 3rd fiddle behind Pro football and Major League Baseball who at the time showed their playoffs and championships during the day Caitlin is not nor ever was a recruiter putting the blame on her is a total bunch of crap Iowa has paid recruiters that are supposed to go out and find players Caitlin made her team better but she did have one other 5 star player where South Carolina and LSU and UConn are loaded with them Losing to S E C teams 2 years in a row is nothing to be ashamed about South Carolina lost one game in 2 years ,who beat them in 2023 Semi Finals ? By the Way it was Iowa then who knocked off LSU in the Elite 8 in 2024 ? Iowa again in a game that was not even close .A Sellout in Albany NY many miles away from Iowa and the Fans were there to see Caitlin not Angel Bo Hoo !!! Feel bad for South Carolina because Post game they were not the lead story Caitlin Clark was and the story gets better and better front runner for Rookie of the Year and who knows ?MVP ?All Star game,US Olympic Team ?Although the US Coach also coaches the Minnesota Lynx whose game was not shown by Wnba League Pass ( oh my my) what were thinking ?They did show Dallas Wings -Indians Fever Game which was sold out despite some empty seats
