Caitlin Clark Makes SHOCKING DECISION to LEAVE the WNBA for Europe After RACIST ASSAULT from A’ja
Caitlyn Clark is out, and now it’s time to see how the WNBA plans to hold on to viewers without her. They’re back to half-empty arenas and games nobody cares about. Clark was the star keeping this league relevant, and instead of protecting her, they let her take hit after hit all season.
In her recent playoff game, she dropped 29 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds—basically carrying the entire team while her teammates barely showed up. Clark’s getting fouled hard, taking elbows, eye jabs, and cheap shots with the refs nowhere to be found. She even called them out, saying she feels hammered by the defense with no help from officials. But instead of standing by her, the league gave her technicals and labeled her a problem player.
Let’s not forget Clark packed arenas and boosted Indiana Fever games to record attendance—15,000 fans, up from 3,000, all for her. TV ratings soared, peaking at over 1.8 million viewers. Clark single-handedly turned WNBA games into must-see events, but the league couldn’t handle her success. Now, with her exit, they’re left clutching an empty wallet. The star power, ticket sales, the TV ratings—all of it gone. Good luck filling those seats without her, because we’re done watching, too. WNBA, you just let your best player walk away.
Earlier today, Indiana Fever guard and former Hawkeye superstar Caitlyn Clark was named the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, the league announced Thursday. A panel of national sports writers and broadcasters voted to give her the award, with Clark receiving 66 out of 67 votes.
“I am incredibly honored to be named Rookie of the Year, but more than that, I am grateful to everyone that supported me throughout this past season—my family and friends, my teammates, the Fever organization, and everyone that cheered us on all season. I am so proud of what we accomplished and so excited for what the future holds,” Clark said in the release.
Clark finished the season averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game in her rookie year. She led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016, bowing out last week against the Connecticut Sun.
