Quote:
The hundred of millions comment was an overall number I threw out for all of womens basketball, not just the games.
Another way of saying that is that it's just a nonsense number you made up.
Quote:
And that number is not as crazy as many of your are losing your shit over once you think about it..How much more in just olympic revenue, certainly 10's of millions.
Nobody is losing their shit, except for a handful of people who never followed women's basketball before but are now somehow emotionally invested in Caitlyn Clark.
Quote:
And then you build your fanbase world wide overnight...
Adding Clark to our Olympic team does not build a worldwide audience overnight. It just doesn't.
Quote:
SO now you have bigger sponsor dollars, bigger TV rights dollars, bigger contracts because she raised the bar so high that it has to float up to be near her. And lastly she has set a bar for shoe deals, clothing deals, and probably dozens of other products that are going to get on the Caitlin bandwagon, that alone is probably going to be a 100 million over the next 10 years.. All of this is fine, and is happening in the context of the WNBA, not the Olympics.
Quote:
Of course that would make a lot of people here happy if she got broke, then they could all say told you so and not have a clue as to what they really lost...
Again, I have to wonder what world you live in. Nobody here in the LR has expressed any desire for Clark not to do well.
Quote:
But continue on with your she just another rookie in the league, let her pay her dues, and lets pay attention to all the other great players that almost no one can name, or would recognize in the grocery line right in front of them...
Unlike you, who seem to be really angry about this for some reason, I'm just offering the potential reasons for why the women's national team made the decision they did, and why it's not necessarily some sort of conspiracy against Clark out of mean spiritedness or jealousy.
