The Indiana Fever (1 Televised Game Last Year) Just Announced That 36 Of Their 40 Games Will Be On National TV Next Season Due To Drafting Caitlin Clark

So as you all know, two years ago, the Indiana Fever finished a WNBA worst 5-31. They were rewarded with a grand total of ONE nationally televised game. And with all of that new viewership, they turned in a vast improvement of.....13 wins.  Finished the 2023 season 13-27 overall...worst in the Eastern Conference. The reward for two straight bottom dweller seasons? THIRTY-SIX NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAMES NEXT YEAR. 

Why? Because Caitlin Clark runs the fucking world. I'd like to hear from Jemele Hill, Diana Taurasi, and the other Caitlin haters right now. A +35 jump on nationally televised games????

The Caitlin Clark Effect is real. As if you needed any more evidence….

Now the question must be asked…..are YOU going to watch a WNBA game next season? And I don't want to get too far ahead of myself nor actually blog about women's basketball right now….but is it time to buy stock in the Indiana Fever? Two years in a row of having the #1 pick….

…and you can add Caitlin Clark. I need an Over/Under win total on the Fever more than I can breathe right now. 5 wins two years ago….13 last year….are we going to have a 14.5 total? I would hammer that with a jackhammer if I could. The WNBA needs Caitlin to be successful more than the other way around.
