WNBA Fever to Dominate National TV with 41 Games, Sparking Controversy

News summary

WNBA star Napheesa Collier has expressed concern over the Indiana Fever's upcoming schedule, which features 41 of their 44 games broadcast nationally, more than any other team, including reigning champions New York Liberty, who will appear 32 times. While recognizing the appeal of Caitlin Clark, the Fever's standout rookie, Collier emphasized the need for broader representation of league talent on national TV to promote good basketball overall. She stated that, while the Fever and Clark deserve their spotlight, the defending champions should not be overshadowed. The Fever's extensive national coverage is part of the WNBA's strategy to capitalize on Clark's rising fame, which has already driven record viewership numbers. Collier's comments reflect a desire for a balanced approach to scheduling that showcases the league's diverse talent. The Fever's significant media presence this season aims to attract new fans and inspire future generations of athletes.
