WNBA's Caitlin Clark

Caitlin Clark has made headlines after being selected to the All-WNBA first team, where she broke multiple records during a standout rookie season with the Indiana Fever. Despite her achievements, the WNBA faced backlash after misspelling her name in their announcement, prompting criticism from fans. Clark, who averaged 19.2 points and 8.4 assists per game, expressed gratitude for her experiences in the league, dismissing rumors of a potential exit, stating, 'I wouldn’t change anything for the world.' Meanwhile, the WNBA's scheduling of its finals has come under fire, particularly from Bill Simmons, who lamented the lack of strategic timing to maximize viewership given the league's recent popularity boost thanks to Clark. Fans were frustrated as game timings conflicted with NFL broadcasts, limiting potential viewership. The phenomenon surrounding Clark, dubbed the 'Caitlin effect', has also driven up attendance and ticket prices across the league significantly.
