Teresa Weatherspoon on the WNBA failing to broadcast Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso's Sky DEBUT on Friday against the Minnesota Lynx. #WNBA #TeresaWeatherspoon #WNBA #AngelReese #KamillaCardoso #ChicagoSky #WNBAPreseason
Thats great your watching for Reese turn your attention to players like A'Ja Wilson & Jonquel Jones, Boston and players like that. You are missing out on some pretty astounding woman players. If Reese is your only reason for watching your either a not to bright and watching her for one reason or you dont know much about how good a lot of these woman are.
That’s great and for every person like you who is watching for Angel Reese there are 10 people who are watching for CC. The WNBA is growing on a daily basis rapidly so what do they need to get together? It hasn’t hurt their success this year so far.
@@user-cd4js1wu9e No one is here for that just being honest...this league don't bring in money and this is why u promoting the wrong things tho I. have respects for those players its show biz not. show friends!!!!
I think they are doing their best to promote where they can which is social media. They don’t have a TV deal right now that allows them to promote all across television. Hopefully when their TV deal is up next year they can definitely get more TV time and i believe they will
@@newtiger007I still say it was intentional…they didn’t want to..,they played the game they wanted to get exposure…but they didn’t count on so many people watching it through a live stream on someone’s X account …a ridiculous amount of people were watching…
They will because it's not their money being spent for the most part. They are funded by the NBA...this league hasn't turned a profit since it's been created. There is clearly unqualified people running this league. As much technology we have in the world, they could have at least made these games available online through streaming...could have offered it through the WNBA website which would have also brought traffic to it and could have influenced ticket and merchandise sales. That's marketing 101....you don't have to be a genius to think that up.
@@bpraise517 I agree. Chicago will be really good once they get into the flow with the Twin Towers. What a draft, getting both Kamilla and Angel. I noticed the attendance difference. Dallas' arena was sold out for a pre-season game. This game was pretty sparsely attended.
@@user-ql2gu8wh9dIf they keep losing it? My dude they’ve lost money every year they’ve been in existence. They’ve NEVER been profitable. They need more than just great players. They have that. They need to find a way to really draw people in. For example, DUNKING!!!! Lower the rim so they can jam on each other, but they don’t wanna do it. 🤷🏼 So idk what they want. You wanna get paid better? You want bigger sponsors and more ad revenue? Ya gotta change things up to get the numbers all around up.
Another reason why they have nothing to lose and everything to gain buy marketing Caitlin they could have used someone else but the crowds have accepted Caitlin Clark tell me what other player has signed a ultrasound sales are up 300% no other female player has done that since this league started and these crabs keep pulling at losing straws instead of riding the wave sad sad if these other players could have done that why haven't they
For Angel and Kamilla not to be televised, but CC gets all the solo promotion, ITS QUITE CLEAR WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND IT WONT BE ACCEPTED. The people have the biggest voice and it definitely needs to be heard on bias situations like this.
fk man its 1 pre season game you fkn people need to relax. Who would you rather see Rodman type players or Kobe, Steph, orMJ type players. Sorry CC just plays a more exciting brand of basketball fair or not that is where the game has evolved to. People want to see 26' bombs not a rebound and put back. Its sad I know because there are a lot of great woman players. I wanted to see the sky to notes much for Reese but I wanted to see Cardoso. Also wanted to see how they play together. I get it but it is what it is.
@@user-cd4js1wu9e sure cc can shoot the three ball but this season in female basketball doesn’t solely revolve around her. She is not going to single-handedly bring more viewership to women’s basketball. The fact that they covered her over two top ten draft picks who went from high school rivals to pro teammates is utter BS. More people are interested in the new found camaraderie of Angel and Kamilla vs watching cc do what we already know she can do which is shoot. Not to take away from cc’s talent level, but she isn’t the only one who’s bringing new fans to women’s basketball this season. If the WNBA wants more interest in their league, they have to cover who people want to SEE.
@@DM-3000 So why has Clarks road games already almost sold out. You cant say that about Sky games. As far as who is the draw why is the game against the aces in vegas Almost sold out and the cheapest ticket is 140.00 for the cheap seats and up to 2000.00 dollars for floor seats and 18,000 seats and less than 1000 seats left. But Sky vs Aces most expensive seat is 185.00 for floor seats and tickets start at 19.00. t- mobile still has about14,000 seats left for the game. So who is putting asses in the seats. better do your research before you run your cock holster. Look at Sky games and see how many home sellouts they have and how many road games have come remotely close to selling out. I will tell you how many none. There are plenty of Reese & Cardoso's in the league right now. here are a few for you lets start with the best big in the game A'Ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, DelleDonne, Boston, Satou Sabally, Dewanna Bonner, Rhyne Howard who at 6'2" is every bit as good as Reese they all average over 18 a game and snare dbl dbl's just as much as Reese. So as far as putting asses in the seats Clark is the king of ticket sales right noe whether you like it or not. Sorry she is white then all the black people would have her the second coming instead of whining like little bitches. The one thing I agree on the WNBA does not promote all of there stars enough because all those names I mentioned you never hear of and they are all great players and there games are every bit as good or in most cases better than Reese & Cardoso right now. Not saying that wont change but it will be fun for me to watch the rookies go against these woman.
Well for starters this is one of the reasons the wnba is failing. Missing this opportunity to get every one engaged is being missed so let them fu$k it up. It’s gonna take all the new rookies to move the needle as I don’t think there will ever be a better draft pool so they only have a short window. Lastly stop creating hate for CC she’s just playing the game but Stevie Wonder can see this foolish effort to put everything on the back of her stop it WNBA.🤔😳
Clark is a great player but everybody isn’t a super fan I like Angel Reese kamilla and the Chicago sky smh they didn’t even cover the fever just Caitlyn Clark smh who’s behind all this? Because the media is running with this narrative that Clark single handily change women’s basketball… I wonder why
America wants ro watch CC & it's being proven. Dallas set. An all time attendance record because of CC. Nobody wants to watch hood rat barbie shoot 2-8 from 2' out.
I got a league pass to watch Angel my favorite player and Cardoso my SEC girl. I still didn’t watch the Fever game i had to watch my girls on twitter live.
Apparently the reason why the game wasn’t aired was because lack of media because of a baseball game. Hopefully next year when they get better media deals things like this will happen less often. Until then, I’m enjoying the fact we’re now seeing more WNBA games on tv compared to even last year. It’s a great improvement compared to where we was. 🙂↔️
This is a great opportunity for the WNBA. Angel Reese will be great but lets be real. Caitlin Clark is the player that will bring lots of new viewers to the WNBA. Similar to what Tiger Woods did for golf.
They got ppl money then when we all could not see the game ppl was forced to watch the fever....I did not even see the Twitter some want on live showing ppl Chicago sky game until after the fever game ...so it would look like Clark is the face of it all n that Def not true ...over 200k found that Twitter n was watching so imagine if we all need the Twitter or it would been on TV I bet it would got 1m views because of angel n Camile.
It's Pretty obvious. This a Perfect example of what's going on. Many Talented Wnba Players! I personally was looking forward to seeing Reese and Cordoso Playing. Two CHAMPS. BUT all of of a sudden Champions don't matter and I couldn't find the game. Not even highlights @@maryconner4394
It's a preseason game. Although for the sake of parity, if the WNBA had streamed the Indiana vs Dallas game, might as well stream the Chicago vs Minnesota game. People wanted to see the Angel Reese-Kamilla Cardoso duo as well.
WNBA has nothing to do with the broadcasting of the game. Bally owned the rights, but they had a contract to broadcast a MLB baseball game, that game got rained out and was played yesterday instead. So they had to broadcast it.
That’s why people don’t watch the WNBA .. don’t even put any highlights .. only Clark .. they. Put on .. a lot of hype in Clark . You want WNBA to grow ! Then they should put all the team
@@georgeseinfeld4150so according to you (YOU KNOW) for a definite fact that MILLIONS of people..... bought tickets JUST to watch Caitlin Clark 😂 bruh why do y'all AND TRUMP seem to have a serious issue with misappropriating numbers to suit whatever y'all's agenda is
Yeah, I'm going to admit. I wasn't even checking for the WNBA like that. But I just bought the league pass last night so I could see Cardoso and Reese play. I wasn't looking for no Caitlin Clark, everybody's not a super fan of her.
You took it upon yourself instead of whining that other people didn't spoon feed everything to you. Not everybody can or will buy the league pass. But everybody can find out where and when games are played and how to access them, if they quit sitting on their lazy butts complaining. Congrats and enjoy the season.
@@shofiulrahman8988she had 13 and 9 2 assists and 2 steak 9-10 from FT what U mean stop hating bro lol it was her first WNBA game Cordosa only had 6 points 3 boards just hating
@@clintjefferson4391 you mean like Larry Bird, Luka Doncic, JJ Redick, etc? 😂 You gotta get that hate out your heart. That girl ain't done a thing but play well and you sick. Don't be like that
Yea I’m upset just like a lot of fans because they are all focusing on Catilin Clark even though they lost the first preseason game, you don’t know anyone else names and these ladies are just as good and better because they play defense and offense, whoever is in charge of promoting needs to be FIRED, because we want to see all these Great Players and not just Clark, I’m not a hater
Simple, no TV would buy the rights of pre season of WNBA. In previous seasons, not all games were even televised because no TV station would buy. Why would they even show every WNBA game when some teams would give the tickets for free but still no one would want it???
@@Knowselfallah look here it is for you. Reese is a good player not a great player. She is a great rebounder she puts the ball back in the hoop when she rebounds. She has no kind of mid range shot at all. None zero nada. I would much rather watch A'Ja Wilson in the pros or JuJu at the college ranks. Let's face it 10 points and 12 rebounds is just not that exciting to watch. Watching someone hit Logo threes hit consistently from 26" out dish out assist drive the hoop is what sells tickets now a days. That is just what the game has evolved into. That is what sell the game. Would I have liked to see the game yes I am a fan but realist know your gonna get what sells tickets. I looked at tickets for the Aces Fever game cheapest one is 140.00 up to over 2 grand guess what 18,000 seats and the game is almost a sell out. Now Chicago Sky most expensive ticket is 185 front row plenty to be had from 19 dollars and up. lets face it like it or not she sells tickets because of her type of game Reese is really good at what she does. But do you pay to see Rodman or MJ. or Kobe.
Spent all day rushing to finish work to get home and watch the game. Highly disappointed they didn’t air it. They were the only reason I bought the pass and I watch WNBA games every year. 😂
I remember when they announced the game being on league pass and television on the grounds of ''if available". Bally Sports was commited to airing an MLB game, but had told the WNBA if they were available they would broadcast the WNBA game. But they weren't available. They could have been, if they chose to get sued by MLB for breach of contract.
@@LLoyoc It is not a big deal. It is preseason. Each team only has one or two preseason games. Since when has anyone complained about a WNBA preseason game not being broadcast. The broadcast the one preseason game that was a sell out. Chicago didn’t even show up to the arena.
@@shofiulrahman8988 what?.. Angel Reese and Cardoso is a big deal... Why not show the last 2 NCAA champions and MVP? Who shared record breaking numbers with Catlin Clark. It's pretty dumb to not have broadcasted that game and they are playing in a major city(Chicago).
They aren't making money because nobody wants to watch women's pro basketball. Nobody cares. Nobody has cared for like 30 years. How many WNBA tickets have YOU purchased in your entire life? That's what I thought.
I agree they should’ve covered this game. I do not want to see C. Clark. Angel Reese is the reason why I started watching women’s basketball games, ever. C. Clark lost two championships one was in the hands of Angel, Reese and LSU and the other was in the hands of Raven shut them down Johnson of South Carolina. And they still trying to push Clark on people. Get out of here. Let’s see Angel, Reese Cardoza, and Chicago sky.
@@montrealabrancherto3301 There really isn’t much demand for WNBA regular season games let alone preseason games. That is why they were on ION last season. Embrace the attention Caitlin is bringing to the league and it will grow.
We have almost three decades of proof that almost NOBODY is interested in the WNBA. They don't put games on TV because not enough people will watch to make it profitable, just like not enough fans go to WNBA games to make the league profitable. Nobody cares about the WNBA. They care about Caitlin Clark. Truth hurts, doesn't it? Don't worry, the interest in CC will die down and you can stop being pissed off that someone white is getting all the headlines. We know that's what all this outrage is about.
Fr. Especially Kamila. That’s a big fumble. Mfs in Brazil support their people no matter what. Mfs that don’t speak a lick of English watching these games supporting from over there.
are you out of your fkn mind. If you want to compare Reese to anybody compare her to Rodman thats her game rebound put back no mid range game at all. She is great at what she does you just flat out insulted Magic!!! And Bird for that matter.
@@Roland_Bishop662 to hell with all you people got to make a black thing out of it. You know what boo fkn hoo. Ya wanna know something if you can pull your head out of your ass for just a minute. Does it make any sense maybe think it like this. Today's game is not about watching someone who can rebound and put the ball back into the hoop. That for right now is basically Reeses game. lets face it she has no mid range game at all her shot is down right ugly. 2' from the basket she cant hit the broad side of a barn. No real knock on her she just did not develop one in college. Don't get me wrong because I am white okay. She is great around the basket great rebounder and gets to the line. Unfortunately I can name 5 off the top of my head that are twice the player she is at this point. A'Ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Boston, Della Donn. (sorry I had to throw in a couple of white girls out of the 5) Like I said her game nowadays is boring. Her game is more like Dennis Rodman great rebounder no mid range shot. Clark is more like Steph Curry. So unfortunate that people think a Rodman like player just isn't as exciting to watch as someone who buries 26' shots on a consistent basis. She also dishes out some hella good assist and drives the basket really well. Thats where the game is today like it or not. Pretty sure the next great scorer will be JuJu when she is done in college. Paige Beuckers will be another one to watch. Oh I am sorry did I mention another white kids name. forgot our talent is judged by skin color not talent. When are people going to realize as good as Reese is around the basket until she gets any kind of mid range game she will not be thought of as a great pro. A very very very very very good pro but not a 5 tool player. there is a reason there were 3 bigs taken ahead of her in the draft. She has flaws in her game and it has nothing to do with the color of her skin. I like Reese and hope she develops because she is a really good player. I love her game around the hoop. LA. Sparks needed a big and took Rikea Jackson what's that tell you.Washington had a chance at her and took Edwards. There is a reason folks the people and scouts who know said all along how is she going to compete against the bigs at the next level that was the huge question mark. I think having Cardoso is a huge advantage for her it takes some of the pressure off by having Cardoso eating up a lot of attention in the paint when there both on the floor. I live in Vegas the cheapest ticket at T-Mobile arena for the fever and the aces is 140.00 floor seats are going for 2000.00 and the 18,000 seats are all but sold out no more than a few hundred seats left. For the Sky most expensive one is 185.00 for the floor. the rest start at 19.00. only about 1/3 of the tickets are sold. This is a great sports town they back there WNBA team with packed houses every home game. So who is really the person most people want to see. Its not because she is white it's because she is one of the best players to ever come out of college. if JuJu keeps putting up her numbers she will be another I cant wait to see again. I was fortunate to watch her in the Pac 12 tournament held here in Vegas. It's not about race for me at all its about talent.
@@user-cd4js1wu9e didn't compare her game to Magic. It's the fact they will always be linked to each other like Magic & Bird. Met in ncaa championship went on to be rivals in the NBA helped build the league. W & media could've marketed the league the same but focusing on and hyping 1 player
@@354allday I agree in a sense but ya want know what its not only those 2 that they should focus on. There were quite a few they could have focused on and didn't. Brink, Cardoso, Jackson. If you want the truth if you remember the guards in the championship game scorched Iowa not so much Reese she had a decent game but look at the box score. The guards torched them. I agree the WNBA needs better PR. whoever is doing there's is doing a great job of messing it up. Reese has been all over ESPN along with Clark. I dont know why people are saying why isn't Reese getting more attention. ESPN just did a great piece on them and Colin Cowherd did another one. So I dont get all the whining about only Reese. This league should also focus on the stars they have. A'Ja Wilson for one she finally got a shoe deal should have happened a long time ago. Hell they could have Promoted A'Ja and Stewart in the same way and failed to do so. Probably the top 2 players in the league right now as far as recognition goes and maybe top 10 of all time to ever play the game. Look I agree to much Clark and not enough of everybody else. Brink has had a great start to her WNBA Career but you wouldn't know it unless your those of us who pay attention to the league. Jackson right along side of her are doing great.
For Real tho!!! I did the same and they gave me 6 channels of CC. Resse had good game starting for a preseason game 13 points and 9 rebounds yea they lost but so did Indiana and ESPN highlighted Indiana game like what's really good with this BIAS MEDIA NARRATIVE
WNBA has a good problem on their hands. Fans angry about not being able to see a preseason game??? When does that happen in any sport? The interest is off the charts.
Are you gonna pay the networks for the air time to show a product that for 30 years nobody has watched? Didn't think so. The only money the WNBA has is the charity money that the NBA gives them.
Then you should be sick of the fact that the arena they played in had to many empty seats. No one wanted to go to the game. Fever vs Wings was packed because it sold out.
This is going to catch fire after the WNBA Commissioner gets drug on Social Media over the next week or so, for not making sure this game got broadcast. Show Caitlin’s and not show Angel and Camila’s game as incoming freshman’s, individuals that will help bring viewers this season..this is just the beginning.
@@cali2468 Reese didn't sell any tickets last night. The arena was almost empty. Learn about economics, CC game was sold out. Empty arenas do not come on ESPN.
I feel like they intentionally did this. They're making it appear as if everyone wants to see CC and ensuring everyone notices her. They're giving her more attention than Angel. CC has jerseys, hats, T-shirts, and more with her name on them in stores, while Angel only has a jersey. The WNBA seems to be pushing to sell more of CC's merchandise, creating the impression of a racial disparity.The way things are being handled, it seems like we'll need to unite and enlist RU-vidrs to attend the games and livestream them. The Sky's seats are selling out as quickly as the Fevers', and ticket prices in Chicago were higher.
Yeah if your wondering why your product is failing this is why ... WNBA ..you got to do better this is sad ...this game was supposed to be televised ... Colleges do better that this
I get that Clark has the buzz, but they really should consider all the storylines. Chicago has two former rivals coming together with a new coach who is a W legend. Hopefully, they dont blow it by not giving the Aces their storyline as well. There are a lot of teams doing great things, people wont abandon the Fever if there are multiple storylines. Lets get it together W.
That's on their TEAM's marketing people to promote . . . Seems they're the ones not promoting their players and definitely not recognizing the social media gift they were given when Angel and Camilla came on board. Don't blame the Fever's marketing and the City of Indianapolis for recognizing how much money they can make on CC and AB's names. Businesses there are tripping over themselves rushing to align with The WNBA Fever AND Pacers. Other WNBA teams are looking for bigger venues for their home games due to the sudden popularity of WNBA. Maybe you should complain to Chicago's teams marketing team and general manager and stop blaming CC for Chicago WNBA "dropping the ball". New Yorks teams owner willingly payed a $500,000 fine for violating WNBA contract rules that requires ALL WNBA to fly commercial flights to games rather than chartered. He paid for the flights AND the fines for team members because he wanted them to be better rested and more comfortable before their games. The leagues thinks that's an unfair advantage so they fined them. Clearly the WNBA has some kinks to work out.
If anything, the Aces are going to develop their own media and push their own narrative . They market better than any other team in the league and have literally made their players social media stars. The Sky should’ve had Cardoso and Reese shirts printed up and ready to go on draft night. When Cardozo said “nobody’s going rebound on us”. They should’ve ran with that and developed the story of two rivals coming together. They didn’t learn from dropping the ball with Candace Parker. 😐 I imagine that a lot of the narrative around Clark is being driven by her personal business team and the Fever front office. I don’t think the WNBA has the capacity to sell water in the desert.
@@sandyschultz-steele4610 Reading is important. I clearly said the WNBA! The WNBA should also be working on other storylines. Each individual team should be doing their social media work. The WNBA worked to get most of the Fever games broadcast this season. I put no blame on Clark, she is doing her thing and is a star that is getting her due. Point is, the League is putting their eggs in one basket instead of spreading the storyline out. SMH. Some folks see Clark's name and think someone is going after her specifically, that is not what i'm doing. SMH.
@@niarichardson6949 the WNBA clearly is able to frame the stories about draft night, preason games, and the 36+ fever games being broadcast. Lets take a break on thinking it is only up to the individual teams to determine their broadcast schedule. Let's do better.
@@gradeafun the WNBA didn’t work to get the Fever nationally broadcasted. They actually had to do no work. ESPN and other networks wanted these games. Didn’t take convincing from the WNBA
@@cali2468 its not discrimination, the WNBA has never seen a player like Clark, her shooting is steph curry like, her passing is ELITE, she set records in college, and she is extremely humble, this is why she is so popular, if her skin was darker she would be just as hyped. Why was Lebron hyped from highschool? He isn't white. This is WNBA leadership just being dumb as hell and only showing the most popular, when there is more talent to be seen other than clark. But to say this is discrimination just because she happens to be white, is reckless and wrong. I love me some Clark, and it has nothing to do with her fuckin color!!
@@donny5318 CC is extremely overrated. Regular season means nothing if you don't cap it off with a championship. CC lost two back to back; the first to Angel Reese, SEC player of the year that same season. The second to Angels teammate, Kamilla Cardoso. Actually it was Cardoso's teammate Raven Johnson who put a Masterlock on CC and made her shot 35% from the field in a loss. CHAMPIONS deserve the accolades, NOT the 2nd place runner up...
@@cali2468 no, this is terrible logic, so hype should based on team success? So how great a player is, depends on her teammates? Clark was double teamed non stop as well, and she simply didn't have the team behind her. Clarks abilities are obvious and clear, she is unlimited range, elite passing skills, both id argue are the best womens basketball skills ever, iv never seen anyone in womens basketball EVER, have court awareness like Clark, and her unlimited range is also unpresidended in the womens league. Not to mention since curry, basketball is about the 3 ball. Im not shittin on anyone, I think they all should be viewable, not just clark, but clark is the most popular, by far. and its because of the skills I mentioned. Just because she was locked down defensively for parts of the game does and lost a team game, doesn't lower the hype of the talent she has. Id also argue that your discriminating as well, thinking of ANY reason to hate on Clark. She has done nothing wrong. I get it, the media loves her, but its mostly due to her skills not her color, and don't discount her humbleness, America loves that in general, which adds to her popularity.
I was not happy when we couldn't see our Chicago Sky Team play & our Great Ladies who play. I am a huge Fan of Angel Reese & I love watching her play & have followed Angel Reese Career since She played for Baltimore & LSU now her Career on the Professional Career with the WNBA & with Angel being on the Chicago " Chi " Sky Team. And now you guys got " a New Sky Fan here in me ." I also , like Kamilia Cardoso a lot and She is a very good Basketball Player too. I now think of Angel Reese & Kamilia being like " the Twin Towers Force & Energetic & Powerful Team " they remind me when I used to live in San Antonio, Texas & used to watch David Robinson & Tim Duncan play together with the San Antonio Spurs & they were called " The Twin Towers " in Basketball. I literally see Angel Reese & Kamilia Cardozo being " The Twin Towers #2 " in the WNBA & on the Chicago Sky Women's Team.
I’m so tied of everybody in media focusing Clark, she’s good but there are a lot of great players other than Katlin Clark, it’s not fair that we couldn’t see this game after paying for it
WNBA is on some real bullsh!#! Why wasn't this game televised? You have two championship players on the Chicago Sky, and we don't get a chance to see their pre-season game, yet Caitlin Clark hasn't won a championship but they televised her pre-season game. Yes, I said it. That's some messed up bullsh!#.
If it’s some bullshit it would reflect in the numbers and the popularity of the WNBA would go down. But it’s contentiously rising so what does that tell you?
@@ghsense2626 That is so true and we can see them . . . . Well if they want Women’s Basketball to grow they’ll need to open up some of these marketing avenues.
Be like the nba and give us multiple games on leauge pass where we can switch over any games we want to watch! I did NOT pay 12.99 a month just to watch fever games only
@@TorEtCetera 34 is for the whole year just the season, 12.99 a month is better because of season start may 14th and they still on bs I’m unsubscribing
I found out about Angel Reese first because she's a stellar player. I literally didn't even know who Clark was until 3 weeks ago, I followed Reese and came across the other teams in the championship! All of the ladies contributed to the popularity of college ball from the talent to the rivalries, and stories. Who wants to watch one player?
@@shofiulrahman8988 Ok that's fine, but millions of people want to see other players too like Reese, Cardoso Brink, Muhl, Buekers, etc. I like Clark, but the fact is, CC isn't the soley responsible for the popularity of college basketball, if that were the case nobody would be watching this video so clearly people care about other players and other players have views too. And clearly you care about other teams in some way because you clicked on this video.
@@AJ030 Beyoncé is the single reason why destiny child’s was huge but she was far and away the main and she got the limelight and shine for it. CC is far away the main reason why. She’s the only one whose popularity is comparable to top NBA and NFL players. Someone has to spearhead the movement and it’s her. Once the popularity grows, other players will be as popular as nba players and ESPN and other media outlets will talk about them. It’s similar to how tiger woods changed golf. Of course he wasn’t the only golfer people watched but he was far and away the most popular and that’s why he was covered so much. Ultimately it led to the growth of golf and other golfers got covered and became popular as well. Don’t ruin something that is working
You have your opinion and other people have theirs. Clearly lots of other people see the talent in other players. Caitlin Clark was good and played ball for all four years yet and NOBODY cared until this year. She's always been good, why didn't anyone care about her until now? The reason is, 2024 has been a great year for women's bball. There was the extraordinary clutch game winning championship shot from Cardoso, the talent, defense, personality and competitiveness from Reese, the scuffle between LSU and SC. All of that contributed to the popularity of the women's game this year. At the end of the day, basketball will always be a team sport and whether you want to believe it or not people DO want to see the rivalry & chemistry of other players like Cardoso and Reese (twin towers). You don't have to be fearful that other players get attention. At the end of the day there is room for all skilled players just like LeBron, Curry and Kobe etc. this ultimately makes the sport better.
@@AJ030 why would a league that is overlooked by the nba with a lot of the owners who are nba owners as well, whose primary focus is the make money have this conspiracy of blocking out other rookies? That’s not the case at all. People acknowledge that Angel Reese and kamila were watched, but you guys fail to acknowledge simple economics and numbers. You go with what is most popular. You think CC didn’t have as much of an impact as people make it out to seem, yet the numbers and money prove otherwise. If I worked at a tech company and I had one product that was 10x more popular than the rest and was selling the most. Guess what I’m going to do? I am going to advertise that product the most
I literally only purchase a league pass to watch reese and Cardosa's debut. The deserved to be televised as much as CC. CC is not the only rookie we are interested in. Unlike many , CC is secondary to me in terms of capturing my interest. Was great to see her play and do her thing, but all of these rookie's fan base are locked in and invested!! what a shame. give these ladies their due coverage man. And dont make people by passes if not televising all the games. Shit i bought a league pass on youtubetv and the year pass on the WNBA app all trying to see Reese and Cardosa. Didnt realise i had to go to twitter. Make it make sense
WHY, CAN WE NOT SEE ANY OF THE OTHER TEAMS HIGHLIGHTS, WNBA....CC ISN'T THE ONLY REASON FOR THE SEASON! WE WANT TO SEE ALL OF THE BALLERS! CAN I GET AMEN 🏀
People are saying Angel Reese did not sell any tickets are you crazy over 200,000 people looked at that live stream and it wasn't easy to find that mean they hunted that stream down and if more people could have found it it would have been a million people watching it
Can we flood TYLER PERRYS timeline with requests to get the WNBA games not being aired to his BET network!!!!!!! He would make a fortune!!!! There's an overwhelming market out there!!!!!! Get on it TYLER!!!!!
Dream fan here! Excited to see what T. Weatherspoon does coaching the Sky. Great to see Chennedy Carter as well. I know its going to be a great season for the WNBA! Its always been great in terms of the play/players...but nice to see more fans tuning in and more support for the league. Excited for the start of the season!! Like some others have said in the comments, I hope the league gets a better TV deal.
W Promote your league. No wonder why you guys don’t have more fans. W dropped the ball for not televising this. I don’t normally watch basketball, but I was here to watch Reese and Cardoso. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I searched for live updates, highlights something but nothing in my area. The WNBA is up right now and they need to ride this wave. Please let us fans see the WNBA, especially Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso!!
Was definitely looking for the game, bought League Pass and was disappointed that I couldn't catch it. I thought maybe some highlights would show up but couldn't find that either. The League has to learn from this and make some changes if they want to grow the game. Hopefully, in the regular season this doesn't happen.
You know why that didn't happened. The great white hope got all the airing and highlights. The bias racist white control media will ignore our beautiful Goddess Angel Reese-and focus more on the great white hope.
No, all the live regular games/playoffs are on the League Pass. Except for national televised games on ESPN, etc... those are blackouts games. Partly because of my work hours & preference - I like watching the games on demand ( with the score results on off...) as it's just the pure game shown with no commercials & no halftime breaks. Of course as was the case with the preseason game, if the local tv affiliate chooses to show a baseball game instead.... But I agree with your comment - the league has to do better as the Lynx Coach Reeves stated after the game that she's been saying this for the last few years now & the old ways of doing things must be adjusted to change things on the fly as the times are demanding that now. Having a plan B or C in place is now the new normal & should have already been in place especially with the free agency & player movements of the last few years.
@@MrNewktrane Nice, that's good to know. Thank you! Agreed, based on the numbers, they should have forecasted the demand surge. It can only improve from here.
big deal double double are an easy accomplishment in todays game Christ she almost had 1 and was 2-8 from the field. Hardly a stellar day. So what real credit do you give a player who is 2-8 from the field. She should rebound thats her main freaking job for this team right now. I am not a hater and she will get better. I truly hope the best for her but all you simpletons need to realize 2-8 dbl dbl or not is not some great game. Clark stunk it up to 5-13 from 3 not much better from inside the 3. It's 1 preseason game for both like did you think they were gonna be dominant. Got news for you Reese has it tougher because there are a lot of great bigs in the WNBA I think Clark has a bit of an easier time because of her style of play. wish them both the best.
I agree. I just became Chicago Sky fan and the reason for that is I'm a huge Gamecock fan from Pennsylvania and followed the career of Kamilla Cardoso.
Larry Bird Hall of Fame Michael Jordan Hall Of Fame, both millionaires: fan's complaining and sit at home, broke Waite and see It's business who else has signed a ultrasound! please stop
A joke. This is a joke. They didn’t even say anything negative about NOT being ON TV! No wonder they won’t put angel TV I saw her live at lsu . She would have addressed it directly. They didn’t even dry diss. They just acted like “everything is perfect!”
To the WNBA you literally have many people wanting to watch the games now it’s your move 💯 you’re trying to grow the game yet we don’t even have access to our favorite team mine being the Chicago sky… i have nothing against Caitlyn Clark but she doesn’t wear a Chicago sky jersey. I’m a fan of Chicago teams me being born and raised there… I don’t care about Indiana 🤷🏾♂️ don’t miss the opportunity to grow the league because the window will close when people can’t watch their favorite teams
Everyone get a league pass! Let’s support these incredibly gifted women. I’m actually amazed they begin playing so soon after the draft. Excited to watch this team and the league as a whole.
Basketball fans are tuning in.. we wanna see all games with Reese, Cardoso, Clark, Jackson, Brink, Fair, Martin, etc... As well as NCAAW games with JuJu, Jada, Paige, Flau'jae, Raven, Van Lith, etc 😍
they going to mess around and have to give refunds if they're starting out wrong like this it's not going to go well for the rest of the season damn Clark and everybody else
many people said they bought the pass because they thought they were going to see the sky. Instead they saw the Fever 😧😧😧they wasn’t happy and canceling membership. .
