The WNBA was handed the thing it had awaited for three decades, a player who could make the country care, and the country did. The arenas filled, the networks bid against one another, and the money came in torrents. At the precise moment the league should have been raising walls around the source of all of it, it kept reaching, instead, for the knife. Revealed preference is a stern teacher. Watch what the league does, not what it says, and you will know what it has decided Caitlin Clark is worth. So you may be asking what the real issue is and the answer to me is clear - the league is struggling with the fact that it took a straight white woman to make it relevant.
Sophie "The Pointer" Cunningham is coming up strong, too.
