🚨The WNBA sells out TD Garden... Connecticut Sun vs LA Sparks 

That’s very kind of you, thank you!!

I think there is a difference when it comes to hype if a player lives up to it or not like olaomekamdi did not live up to being drafted first

Correct! I started watching the W because of Quita? When is your next game?

@@stevenguyen9401 I don’t think OP is saying that anyone does or does not live up to the hype. But a lot of commentators get wrapped up in hype and they just tell the same story over and over again. It gets boring and I say that as a CC fan. Lots of new fans and great opportunities to tell a multitude of interesting stories. Unfortunately, not many commentators are doing this.

I would love for Boston to adopt already CT Suns and make is officially a Boston Suns

@@nr14989or how about the Boston Clovers? ☘️

First of all, that is not true because many other games have been on TV, and many Fever games are not on nat'l TV as well. But if you look, most games get 400k-700k TV viewership, the Fever get over 2M or more. There's a reason for that.

When you start making this a regular thing--I am sure the networks will be glad to televise more games of other teams. The market responds to the demand...and so far, the demand has been overwhelmingly for that "one name" you are too immature to mention. Get outta your feelings, grow the heck up and study up on marketing & business. You just gave a FEMALE'S perspective. Females love to demand things without actually working for them. Like demanding equal pay for WNBA players--when none of you were watching or supporting for 27 years. Like THAT. So you are clueless as to supply & demand. Let me educate you further: WILSON just released another Caitlin signature ball yesterday. BEFORE they even announced the official release, it was already SOLD OUT. I spent hours on the WIlson website and STILL did not snag one. The special edition balls Wilson released for the Sky, Angel Reese, Vegas and Aja Wilson...never sold out. Available for purchase since the day of release. There is a BIG, HUGE. MASSIVE reason Aja Wilson did not get a landmark Wilson deal--even with her last name literally being--WILSON. She is utterly and truly UNLIKABLE. Ask WNBA fans. Perhaps you should also express distaste at how the players in this league have acted this entire season. For example--the tweet from Dijonai yesterday. This is fuking child care at this point. Children. Don't blame Caitlin or the TV networks. Blame the unlikable playersand the so-called fans that have never supported the league before...and STILL do not.

I wonder how many fans in the stadium had never thought about the WNBA until CC arrived on the scene.

@@goldenlifeoffortune4325 welcome to WNBA fandom!

@@aplanteer7090 There were WNBA games played at MSG for over 20 years, too bad the New York Liberty changed ownership.

Only one Fever-Suns game remains this season. Suns at Fever. No Fever at TD Garden this season.

😁👍

Wow. I didn't know this. But I do know a lot of us want to see Angel Reese and Kamilla Cordoso

Word.

Glad you enjoyed it!

😂 you're clueless

Please. Fever would not be winning without Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell. Period.

they basically had a carnival outside free event to draw families etc and tickets were under 20 bucks.....not the big OMG moment you think it was.

CORRECTION: On the road to "respectability". Words matter. Saying "respect" implies the league has been disrespected. It has not. It has not shown itself WORTHY of respect before. "Respectability" means the league is slowly--gradually--proving itself worthy of the respect of onlookersand fans. Frankly, I do not even think the league is there yet. Witness the kindergarten, petty actions of the Seattle Storm the other night. This league cannot get out of its own way.

@@petep5207you can not control people actions in any scenario. Every player has emotions and sometimes emotions get the best of us. This is their job. I’m sure people have pushed your buttons a time or two. Even the best of the best have their moments too

It’s a long road

@@ericMT Yes it is.

I love her videos but she acting like the exponential growth isn’t because of CC. Yes it was growing before. But very small

Now these players need to learn how to talk to the media and act better

@@robodynam1c-323She is speaking about it from a balanced perspective and not ONLY talking about CC. How long are y’all going to do this? Every time something good happens in the W-“thank CC”. How long? How many years? Either you actually believe that she increased visibility for the LEAGUE (which would mean that the other teams are actually growing in popularity now that people are aware of them) or admit that her cult is only supportive of her. It can’t be both. If she increased visibility, then this game is a result of the fact that these teams have won over fans from THEIR play from the start of the season. IF that’s true, give them the credit their due from producing a product people want to watch.

@leiannb.wrytes8893 so are you also going to just acknowledge that Caitlin has helped to grow the game "this year" to the highest it's ever been, or are you just gonna let Stephen A and Ice Cube set it straight? We could appreciate it more if salty mf like Swoopes, Coach Reeves, Coach Hammond , Chennedy Carter and Carrington would get out of their feelings and stop the hate. Shannon Sharpe said " the corn fed white girl from Iowa got them in they feelings" and they can't stand it. This is literally the first year the WNBA is in the positive for their profits margin. That's not a coincidence. It's also not a black white thing. Sabrina, Stewie, Plum are all good and never moved the needle like CC. A'JA is the best in the league, for now, but she's not selling out arenas like CC. But no one had a problem when Serena Williams was the only tennis player being talked about. Or Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan. It's all good if said player is NOT white.

@@B3GINNER this isn't about CC sorry so let us be and i do not have nothing against CC it's her racist fans I see straight through them and CC boyfriend that got caught liking racist tweets

To a cliff?

So they can torture us to watch a 61-69 game?

you don’t understand, huh? try thinking. think hard. it will come to you. peace

@@krl7009 oh god, another victim mindset here. Demand&supple lady, if people over buy tickets, the game will be moved. If there is a mega star like Clark that people want to see then it will be moved if people buy tickets. The media, you, the wnba, the nba, cant make people care about players. People like Clark whether u like it or not.

No point for the Liberty to move. Their stadium is an NBA stadium already and fits 17k

@@BobbyU808 it’s okay to scroll past comments you don’t like or agree with.

The media will eventually figure it out. Just be patient growth takes time.

Yes, she is! She has broken so many records this season. Sorry, thought that we were taking about CC. Compare stats. It's not that complicated. Just numbers.

Negativity is having to always mention CC before any other name in the WNBA.

@@natureredux1957 Negativity is shitting on the ONE player that is bringing class and popularity to this league. Something NO ONE did ever before on this scale. Say THANK YOU. Not that hard.

@@petep5207 So you admit you don't even know you are being super negative, with those comments.

@@natureredux1957 data. do you have it? stop deflecting, child.

@@natureredux1957negative about what? I tried to give recognition to all players. I’m sorry you’re upset because I mentioned people names you don’t like. I’m not going to shy away from what the rookies have done to bring in more viewers starting with Caitlin Clark. People were not watching the WNBA. Angel Reese may not be as popular but has gone through fan negativity as much as CC. Media use d both these player to increase their revenue. Thats the real world. These rookie brought in viewers. Now people are watching more basketball and supporting other players. If you consider that negative that’s your opinion.

Ok, my question is even if 19k bought tickets to a game Caitlin wasn’t playing in to support Caitlin… what’s the problem with that ?

@@QuitaLovesSports- NO problem at all. It is great. The problem arises when people play dumb and act like this isn't the Caitlin Effect. The simpletons say "well, this game sold out and CC did not play in it". TRUE. But they fail to understand the "trickle-down effect". The interest ONE player--CAITLIN CLARK--has brought to the WNBA--has benefitted ALL teams. Need more proof? Go check again the number of ASG votes..and how they exploded over last season. Do you think that was just coincidence? NO. It was the Caitlin Effect.

@@petep5207 did you actually watch the full video? If you did, I’m not understanding why you are saying what you are saying to me

@QuitaLovesSports no problem with it. It actually would have happened a lot sooner if CC hadn't faced the animus and vitriolic tone set by Sheryl Swoopes, Diana Taurasi,Angel Reese, Aja Wilson and the women of The View just to name a few. The league wants respect, but doesn't show it to their Golden Goose because she's a straight, white girl from Iowa. Everybody sees it and knows it, and I really wish these haters would stop embarrassing themselves. You can't reject a fan favorite, then expect to be embraced by those same fans. We just want to see game by players and all of this hate and activism is why there were no fans there in the first place.

@@rustyglass42 BINGO. They will NEVER get it

Fair enough

Barclays is a great venue. I'm a Knicks fan but the Liberty are just fine at Barclays. 😊

Being in New York saved The Liberty, because of New York having other arenas besides MSG, from Brooklyn to Long Island and a Nets owner in Joe Tsai who was willing to buy The Liberty from The Knicks.

You do like defense, do you?

You don't like defense, right?

TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT. Three words these ignits must learn and understand. They love to imply and evne claim this is all a coincidence...and definitely NOT the Caitlin Clark Effect. So much freetardation has been exposed this year.

Thry cannot accept, and creddit what CC brought to WNBA.

Did you actually watch the video? If so you will hear me thanking Caitlin for growing the game

Dude shut up this incel fandom is lame

Might require a name change to the New England Suns

No they shouldn’t move, this was a special game that wouldn’t be able to get replicated for all of their games. But they can for sure build up their fanbase to get a couple of games there a year

Exactly. A Sun-Liberty game in the Garden would probably be a draw as well.

No.

@@amazing50000 Yes

I believe I also talked about how Angel is a draw for the W in this video and I’ve talked about it in the past.

@@QuitaLovesSportsI can’t confirm or deny that I’m just basically saying its not just CC. ALL OF IT wouldn't have happened if not for that "hand waving, ring finger pointing moment" by Angel Reese. NOBODY was talking about CC before that moment. NOBODY!!!! It is INARGUABLE! They needed each other! Once that moment went VIRAL, that was my first time EVER hearing of CClark RIVALRY! You can't separate the moment.

@@369PennState So why was that LSU Iowa final a record setting basketball game, before the controversy. Nobody was talking about CC beating the unbeatable SC by herself? 12 million turned up to watch before the incidents. Someone has just you tubed a video of the whole Angel/CC rivalry going way back. They might be even now, but Angel dominated early, and there is some genuine understandable jealousy happening there. But personally it's a no contest, between pattycake on the paint, and soaring shots, and raking passes. That's just me. Angel will be a force when she gets her shooting in order. She tops rebounds, and is worst on 5' shots %, by a mile.

Nope.

Partly. Happened because the WNBA is getting a ton more hype this year than previous years.

Yup CC is the foil. It ignites the fans of other teams to prove she is not the only player to follow.

@@rcud1 UH-HUH...more hype because of....you can say it....CAITLIN CLARK.

Even a blind man can see that

Maybe but Caitlin wasn’t there. She’s awesome and brings a lot of attention but interest in the W has grown across the board and it’s helping all teams. and the W has been growing for years now

@@QuitaLovesSports Kepe undermining CC. Without her, YOU are not talking WNBA as much as you are. The audacity on you.

@@petep5207 😂 you know my channel has been around before Caitlin came into the W, check my channel I posted the same amount of W content last year, so no you are wrong I WAS talking about the W this much before you just weren’t listening

@@QuitaLovesSports I knwo Quita...but i think u get my point. the trickle down effect is real. all im saying. i will give you mad props cuz you ARE much more objective than a lot of other creators.

@@QuitaLovesSports. But we Caitlin fans have started watching and going to games everywhere. Without Caitlin I hadn’t ever watched or gone to any games ever. Now I’m super excited to watch all the games. I even bought other people’s jerseys. I’m just excited for all the women.

I was at the game and no way did I pay $5 a ticket. Maybe in the nosebleed sections you paid that amount (which I highly doubt) but most certainly not in the good seats.

​@@shellihezekiah5761 Nobody paid 5 bucks lmao. Some people just want to be right and give credit to one player. Lol

All that matters is that it was sold out. At least it made it affordable to some people who otherwise would be able to attend. Bottom line, its about money, but who cares. 19,000 people had a great time.

Growth takes time be patient

@@shellihezekiah5761 - I call bullshit on you. Youwere not at the game. I know this because you refuted the 5 dollar ticket price--but did not say what YOU paid. You did not want to risk looking dumb if you quoted a price not in the range...and you were too lazy (keeping those stereotypes alive) to Google the ticket prices, so that your lie would hold some credibility.

Did you watch the video? If so you will hear me thanking Caitlin for growing the game

@@QuitaLovesSports nope, just commenting on the title of your video. 👍

Not even it was marketed last year as LA Vs Boston hence Beat LA, the WNBA has had records before check the Washington Mystics in the 2004, lets respect that the Suns organisation with partnership with Boston Celtics made this happen plus now rumours of a potential relocation

@@QuitaLovesSports and that’s why you don’t answer cult members. They talk without listening and are proud of their loud ignorance. Nothing wrong with your title; I love your videos. Keep doing what you do.

🙄

I’ve always found that it’s actually financially beneficial for RU-vidrs to be negative. It leads to wayyy more views which equals way more money. The masses don’t like when people are neutral or make positive videos about the W, they don’t click as much which discourages RU-vidrs from doing that content. Personally for me, I make the content I want and that is truthful and let the others make all of the money.

Pls stop hitching Angel's wagon to Caitlin's. Enough.

@@petep5207She is just as popular as Caitlin, I even knew her before Caitlin so let’s stop lying, even angels 2k25 post has more likes then Caitlin, they are both popular and brought viewers to this new day and age.

@@petep5207 That's what you took from the post bruh? Well that's interesting. Are both names in the same sentence offensive to you? Angel and Caitlin are the top two rookies and both are having historic first seasons. I'd say the split is 80/20 in terms of new fans draw. But you don't get to 100 without that 20.

@@petep5207Angel wayyyy more popular wtf wrong with u?? Angel has more IG followers.. more famous people coming to games, tweeting.. stop it Caitlin is good on the court Fa sure but ain’t nobody trying to look like her or be like her.. they both lead in merch sales.. 1&2.. so stop hating..

@@Cami.loves.cheer. Please post data. I like data. Not opinion. Post the Sky's TV ratings when their games have been aired. Post their average and total attendance. Total merch sales. Post a mid-season revenue fact-sheet for the Sky, like the one the Fever released last week--showing the Caitlin Effect. That is data. I am not saying Angel has NO fans. That would be ridiculous. But I am fed up with everything being "Caitlin and Angel". They are a universe apart as far as popularity and impact. There's levels to this. Caitlin is on th Apex. Angel is several pegs below that. Just the truth. Saying "Caitlin and Angel" is grossly misleading because it implies it is 50-50...which is a total fallacy. This AIN'T "BIRD AND MAGIC".

$10 walk in

@@scriblygum Great to see that the Sun kept it affordable and allowed more fans to access the game :)

Ok

@@QuitaLovesSports facts

​@@jimmyraidjamesBut if it isn't the reason myself and many others tune in then how can your statement be a fact? Make it make sense. Reese and Flau'j were the top two players who caused me to tune in. It's never makes sense for anyone to make a generalization where he/ she projects the way they may feel onto others. Let's be honest and admit, however, that the rivalry between Reese and Clark is what captured most new fans' attention and catapulted the growth of the WNBA.

@@BettyBanks-wt3yk Well i do see that you used the word ' make ' 4 times in a short paragraph. 😂😂 Thats overkill & shows your lack of education. The charm/kindness / good human / great player / humble Caitlin Clark is what captured everyones attention. Reese is a jealous thug & there is no rivalry as we are all tuned in to watch Caitlin unlike you & your 4 friends.

​@@jimmyraidjamesok

How is this manufactured? W tickets are some of the mosey affordable tickets in the country so yes they were low enough that people who wanted to go could attend. What is considered organic and authentic growth to you?

@@QuitaLovesSports Caitylyn Clark is the example of organic and authentic. So much so that WNBA players are under the impression that the W is marketing, exposing and highlighting Indiana fever games more than others and it is quite the opposite. We as fans have to research when the fever is playing. The coverage for Angel Reese is another example of manufactured. They hype her game but are critical of Caitlyn's. I wish it was not so, because it's doing Angel a disservice. She would grow into an amazing WNBA player by her own merits if they would just allow her game to grow organically and stop with the obvious push and force to break records.
