If it wasn't for Caitlin Clark, I would not even know the WNBA was going on, let alone that they were in the playoffs..
WNBA was a legit joke online last year. People just talked about lowering the rims cause the league was so bad. Wasn’t a star or exciting player in the league. Clark brought the entertainment and star power and legitimised the league to the mainstream. Simple facts.
Or who was playing and knowing like 10 players on the teams.
Maybe people are watching the Finals because it's 2 teams that did not target Caitlin during the regular season.
Stewy set a very hard screen on CC22 in the regular season that buckled her legs and made her collapse. Dare I say she added some stiffness to the screen.
She also was responded to some interview about CC22 (don’t recall exact words) that if you don’t we in a college championship you’re not great.
Off topic, but no surprise to me when they pitched Stewys Unrivaled League to CC22 she probably said, “No thanks.”
Even though I’m still not watching without CC22 I agree!
I am a CC fan who is absolutely watching these two teams because they play so much cleaner games than the other contenders do. I could not have stomached watching the Suns or Aces. These two teams help me continue to feel invested in the game I've come to love, thanks to CC and her positive intent toward the league.
@@cathygregory3443 😃👍
If anyone doubts the growth in viewership is not the CC effect, you are not paying attention. No woman has ever drawn the numbers Catlin Clark Kent has. Not even close.
You are not paying attention it's in black and white you guys boycotted and your attempts failed. Get over it nobody cares about fly by night fans thanks for the support while it lasted.
All of which is true.... but we lend ourselves to being mocked when we gloat that the wnba isn't drawing a million views (even though they came close throughout the liberty aces series).... because when they finally DO get a million what do you THINK they will do?? The SAME THING we were doing.
Clark fans: Ha ha. You can't get 1 million without CC.
Clark haters: ha ha. We got a million views without Clark - and it was a record too.
@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00 the truth is with or without Caitlin Clark and her fans the league will still thrive it will just drive more with them. They need to stop acting as if the league is nothing without them because at the end of the day nobody asked anybody to be here. If they took their ball and went home as we see everything will still be fine that's not hate it's just reality
@@hottrakz Thrive???? Unless the WNBA gets better in so many areas it will atrophy back to its low place in the sports watching ranks.
@@hottrakz I'd hardly call the league thriving before this year. You can't thrive when you've depended on handouts from daddy NBA for two decades.
Here's the truth..take Clark out of the equation, like she never happened. This wnba playoff ratings will most likely be the same as it was last year, I'll kick in a few percentage of improvement since it was gaining "slightly" the last three years. But not the way it is now. Reason for it is because of fan(s) like me, Clark hooked me in and I decided to stick around..she opened my eyes. Now I am looking forward to game two. Doesn't hurt to have two LIKEABLE teams playing the finals either, because if it had been Suns/Aces - I am outta here//
Facts
Clark also gets credit for the ratings increase in non-Fever playoff games because Caitlin brought more overall eyeballs to the sport this year. A high tide lifts all boats.
everyone trying to make the ratings with vs without caitlin a competition are insane😂😂 there is an obvious reason why the ratings are WAY up from last year, because of the viewership CC brought
Its the commie mentality of the WNBA and the MSM talking heads, they don't want to give CC the respect she is due but instead down play her viewership effect. No one is saying the increased viewership in the finals is the "rising tide" caused by CC, but instead saying its all down to the talent of the other players attracting new fans. CC attracted them and as Robin stated some have stayed around to watch other games. The other games didn't attract the new fans but retained a part of them meantime.
You wrong clark is the reason we came and stayed for the rest no clark the rating same as before high tide lift all boats
Well, now that they've dropped tickets to $10 each... not anything like the $1000 to $5000 each, when Caitlin Clark came to town... shows what hypocrites they are...and I wouldn't be surprised if they stood out on the streets and gave them away for free...just to make it appear that the Caitlin Clark Effect doesn't exist... because they are still filling the arenas...but the price differential proves everything!!!
The funny thing is with out Clark, the numbers can still be attributed to her indirectly.
Alot of us like Phee too.
@@jacobmcbeth6922 Because she plays a clean game. No drama.
Honestly, if Clark had stayed in college this year what would the increase in playoff viewership be?
I think what's important to note bud, is that more of us are watching after gaining interest via CC. I only now know other players because of her, so I continue to watch because I know she's coming back 😊
Don’t support these thugs…
Very sane and true. Obvious she has brought eyes. It translates for everyone in the end. She benefits all in the end.
I think what it is; is both sides want all the credit when in reality it takes both sides to get to this point. I’m a big Caitlin Clark fan. I came to the WNBA because of Clark but I’m not watching the finals because of Caitlin I’m watching it because While I watched Caitlin I fell in love with phee Collier and Courtney Williams game. So now I’m watching the lynx. But I also enjoy watching the liberty play. For me personally, had I not liked the way the lynx play, I wouldn’t be watching the finals. So you can’t just say people are only watching because of Clark. I may be here because of her, but I’m not watching the finals because of her. If that makes sense. Both sides deserve the love.
The sue birds swoopsy and others dont wanna acknowledge CC that she brought u here period,
I really don't care. I know what Clark did for wnba. She brought new eyes to the league ..the bigger question is would the ratings be this high without the new eyes Clark brought
I watched the liberty lynx game, mostly because I want the lynx to lose. I wish both could lose, but you don't always get what you want.
@@timmyfoxworth6710 no they probably would be higher but maybe not quite as high as the league has been trending up.
If Caitlin Clark was in the finals, the viewership would be 100% - 150% higher. Also, the area would have been packed with fans who paid hundreds of dollars, or even a thousand or two, for their seat, rather than tens of dollars.
But, good for the Liberty and Lynx that some fans are sticking around.
@@Struwwel2 Agreed. Some RUclipsr was checking ticket prices for the Sun-Lynx game and found some going for $18, or in the teens. Audience size doesn't mean the same thing in different scenarios. If SuperBowl 60 draws 100,000 to the stadium at $50, vs. SB 59's 80,000 (but at $2,000 apiece), are they the same?
CC fan here, im watching the playoffs because of CC, i watched rooting against the sun and the aces and i celebrated their elimination , now they are throwing jabs because im 😮 watching, between stewy and reeves 2 CC haters i dont know who to root for, im happy reeves was frustrated all night in the lynx newyork game, however i enjoyed stewy getting choked and the w being swept off under her😂, i however am 100% positive that if CC was to go to another league i would follow her there, the jealous sue bird s, repinoes, swoops dont want to acknowledge the CC effect, its real even when CC is not playing,
truth
Robin you are so logical, I think you calm the masses.
The numbers are still this high because of Clark fans. Many are watching to show support to phee
Come on now that's a stretch
Support is support this means more eyes on people who have dominated your favorite player there is no way around it. Last time I checked Caitlin Clark fans were mad at Minnesota and their coach but I guess it is now if I can't beat them join them
No, some Clark fans kept watching for the sun & aces to get eliminated. Thats what has being the point the entire season, some of these Clark fans would later keep engaged in the legue for other players or outcomes. This is why many never understood the cold reception she got from some players, since more eyes was an opportunity to grow the league.
@@Momula101how is it a stretch
@@JayAli-u3x all the CC fans watching for Phee..the numbers aren't that impressive to reflect that. Liberty are a big market team with one of the largest fanbases in the W. And for long time fans of the league there are a ton of Lynx fan too as they were a dynasty. Can't give CC credit for everything 😭
A good analysis, one that reflects my own experience. I came to the WNBA because of CC and enjoyed watching every game she and the Fever played in. She’s an unbelievable talent! I didn’t think the fever could go far into the finals this year, but as I began to see some of the top talent in the WNBA through the games I watched I decided to watch the semis and now the finals. Yes CC was the catalyst for my interest in the WNBA and without her I wouldn’t be watching and she’s still the player I enjoy watching most, but I enjoy watching competitive basketball so I’m sticking around to see how the finals work out. And when the next year comes around with the new look Fever i’ll be following them again with enthusiasm! My one comment about the WNBA is I really dislike all the petty bickering. I’m not a Fever fan who hates on others and I wish the dialogue around the WNBA was a bit more sophisticated. Thanks for your videos I enjoy them.
The WNBA at large failed growing non-Caitlin viewership in epic fashion. 2.54 mil watched a Fever 1st round game. The 2 best teams play a finals game in the biggest market and draw 1.14 mil. 1.4 mil Cairlin fans didn't watch. 80% of the new fans DIDN'T watch. The WNBA is hopeless.
WNBA too busy getting woke w it
It's still Caitlin Clark who is raising the ratings she brought the new interest in the league she deserves some credit
Robin: So this finals viewership increase cant be attributed to Clark? Because thats the argument some people are making, that Clark is not a factor in this finals higher number.
Its up to Sue Bird & equally minded thinkers to prove Clark has nothing to do with this 1.1 million figure.
I think I am probably speaking for a lot of people here. I am drawn to the W because of CC. I like her style of play, the energy she brings, and the joy of the game. I like the fact that whole families (mom/dad/kids) spend their quality time at the ball game. I like the inspiration that CC instill in those kids, esp. the young girls. I DO NOT like the pettiness, the bickering, the targeting, the dirty plays, the eye-gouging, the swats in the head, the shoulder checks, the bulldozing from behind, nor the foul language. When CC exited, all the excitement that she brought to the game was extinguished as well. When she was playing, I was upset at the horrific refereeing (non-calls), because it left the message that those fouls are ignored, that everything is fair game. It is not. Maybe before CC, the W was a physical league, in the name of competition. But once young kids are now paying customers, the game has to evolve to accommodate them, if not to respect the new audience. It cannot be business as usual any more. Time to gentrify the game, or they (the new audience) will veer away, and there will be no more 1 million-viewer games. These ladies act like they're playing in the NBA. They are not! Not even close. Someone said (Stephen A. Smith?) that Angel Reese wants to be Draymond. That is a sad observation. What woman in their right mind wants to be compared to Draymond Green? The new eyeballs came to see the beautiful game. I guarantee they are not attracted to the thuggery out there. My 2 cents.
I agree. I think when they were talking about the ratings dropping when Caitlin Clark left was true when it came to the semifinals. CC had over 1 million views, but those ratings were lower when CC left. Now, are the numbers up since last year, of course, but Stephen A Smith was talking about how the numbers are up, because of the new interest in the WNBA. And where does that new interest come from? Caitlin Clark!!!
Also, people can buy tickets to the finals at $10 bucks a ticket... Clark had tickets selling anywhere from $1000 to $5000 a ticket...the WNBA intentionally lowered the price because they wanted to deny the Caitlin Clark Effect exists...so all the hypocrites at the WNBA...raise the tickets back up to $1000 each...and see how empty the arenas are!!!
I quit watching when the Fever were out. When Tiger was in his hay day, the viewership of tournaments where he played was huge compared to ones where he didn’t. People who watched golf had been watching all along, but a huge number of people suddenly followed Tiger but not golf. I’m that same type of fan when it comes to the WNBA. I’m not interested in the WNBA, but I follow what Clark is doing. There is nothing wrong with that.
🤔 well not every one skipped WNBA after Fever was out... but fewer viewed the semifinals.. due two of the teams of them. and switch on the final since both are out.
But it's the standard drama queens trying to instigate something... fans don't really care... but if CC never existed.. numbers would be only 10% up from last year... max.. the rest is the clark effect.
Unfortunately you're wrong because the average has been over 20% which is a go in any business if anyone knows anything about business. People are just upset because they're Karen mentality is not working
You are proving his point. The average like you said is over 20%, in Clarks year the 1st game increased to 56%. We should wait of course for the final numbers.
@@hottrakz hahahaha. Such a clown bro. Everyone knows it
@@Refreshment01 I don't think you are understanding it's obvious Caitlin Clark affects the numbers but a 20% year over year is great in any business more is always welcome but 20% has never been frowned upon until Caitlin Clark fans who are disconnected from reality. Businesses with year over year incremental increases are a plus. Caitlin Clark is appreciated but not needed the league will as it has been can live on without her.
Perhaps Caitlin Clark fans and the swifties can go start their own league and stop bitching. Then you can run it however you want lol
I think CC fans want recognition that all viewership is up because, with or without her, some CC fans are now W fans. Old school W, like Sue Bird, want credit to go to the veteran players and the product. Very high profile people have downplayed CC’s accomplishments and her fans aren’t having it.
The WNBA finals are drawing as much in its finals as a typical Fever game. And the Clark playoff game of 2.5 million is still the most watched WNBA playoff game ever. I’m not impressed when people say “most watched finals” because finals are playoffs and finals should be more viewed. Even when Clark was in those NCAA tournaments drawing 18 million to watch the finals she had a spillover effect to help the WNBA viewership. I’m fine with saying the WNBA won’t fall off a cliff viewership wise without Clark, at least not right away, but people need to acknowledge what I think you’re saying which is Clark/ Fever (and I now really like the entire Fever team- Boston, Mitchell, hill, Fagbenle especially) are responsible for over half of the growth. So no more comparisons to Reese BS- Clark’s piers are the other 1st all wnba players Wilson, Collier and Stewart especially. That’s when I know I’m dealing with a Clark hater - when she’s compared to Reese.
I know I can't be alone here. I'm a "new" fan of Caitlin Clark and the Fever. When the Fever dropped out of the first round, I wasn't gonna keep watching. But you know what? I found I wanted to see the Sun and the Aces defeated. I found I was curious of what the two teams in the finals were made of. (Well, yes, the officiating was still bad, and there were the same missed lay ups or free throws... but at least, CC was not getting the brunt of it.)
2 million have stopped watching!!!!!’
Exactly! Many CC fans are still watching.
The WNBA is growing thanks to the entire rookie class. Clark was a standout. Everyone should be happy.
Before CC I never watched a playoff game. With CC I dropped quite a few dollars to fly out to Connecticut to watch game 1. I did not watch the Sun vs Lynx because of how dirty the sun are. If I’m home I’ll watch liberty vs Lynx but I don’t go out of my way like I did to watch the fever.
Caitlin brought the increase last year in the WNBA as well as this year. She has not only put wnba on the map, she put womens basketball on the map and she beat the men in college basketball. That is monumental.
Even the Caitlyn Clark numbers did not reach the WNBA's best years of over 20 years ago. We are talking over 5 million viewers for finals games in 1997. Caitlyn did bring is a HUGE jump in audience, but the WNBAs reaction to the buzz, support, interest and fans Caitlyn brought is probably an indicator of why WNBA finals are down about 80% over the finals of the late 1990s.
Good point! Two things can be true at the same time!
At the same time the numbers watching the playoffs while up year to year, do not represent a financial break even point for the W.
So more needs to be done.
Can you imagine what the numbers would look like if it was the Fever vs Liberty. Full stop!
Why can't the rest of the teams in the league match the Fever games viewer numbers? That's a rhetorical question. We all know. CC's fans are the catalyst for the increased viewership.
When you go on anything wbb related 80% of the comments are fever fans. Clark is huge
I'm still watching (and enjoying!), but only because Clark got me hooked. Courtney Williams is probably my second favorite player now.
The issue is who to credit for the success. Caitlin Clark fans (and I am one of them) want the world to give her credit. Many people want to downplay her contribution. But both sides should realize the saying: a rising tide lifts all boats.
CC is the rising tide. When she is involved, the tide is high. But when she is not, her gravity has also raised the tide for others. I am in a Fever fan page and there were quite a few in there who have said that they came to the W (like me) and have grown to like other teams and players. So CC brought then and they are staying. If the detractors would simply admit that the growth is in HUGE part due to CC, then this wouldn’t be happening. But of course we live in a world where there will be simps, trolls and other people who just want to cause havoc.
I feel nobody really understands the meaning of “A rising tide lifts all boats” because this is what that talks about, the big tide is because of Caitlin Clark but that brought people to watch also the other teams and becoming more invested into their season and that’s why numbers are now better compare to last year even without Clark
I think ABC will get bigger ratings because ESPN is limited. The game today was great today. 18,000 fans in the Barclay Center.
I quit watching after the Fever were eliminated. I do hope the Leaders of the WNBA clean up the league. It's toxic and the games are boring and officiating is beyond abysmal
When folks have to continual qualify attendance. Without and with. When you say it it is up “without Clark”, folks are going to get defensive. People think it says they dont appreciate Clark bringing viewers back to the sport.
I’m one of those CC fans that has stayed around, so glad I did as the first game of Lynx Liberty was just a hell of an exciting game.
Part of the Reason The WNBA FINALLY got 1 Million Viewers, for a Playoff Game in years, is because of the High amount of NEW YORK Viewers. The NEW YORK Metropolitan Area has about 20 Million People in Population, which is the #1 Viewing Markret in The USA. How many Viewers were NEW YORKERS ?
I thought they might have CC there at the game either setting in on commentary for a few minutes or even just interviewing players before the game. I figured it could be something fun but I guess they won’t everyone but her on tv
Well the fact is CC brought more eyes to the game. No ifs or buts about it. If Indiana is playing, viewership will be the highest and attendance. Haters can spin it however you want. Numbers don't lie.
CC's regular season ratings averaged more than their 1.1m
Clark’s regular games drew a 1.1 million her playoff games 2to 2.5 million only one game got over a million views without Caitlin in the playoffs
How many of those viewers are CC and Fever fans? That's the important question. The viewership for game 1 of the finals is still just under CC's AVERAGE viewership this season. So I would imagine a LOT of those views, probably several hundred thousands, are CC and Fever fans that CC brought to the league.
Of course. 300k were Caitlin fans. Yet, 1.14 mil is a very poor number for over a million Cairlin fans DIDN'T watch. Horrible.
@@Oneanddone14 I totally agree. Until the WNBA owners, the NBA parent corporation, etc. clean up the WNBA to make it an actual product that is a legit sports league: by forcing it to dump, or at least severally limit, the woke, DEI, critical theory progressive crap, the unprofessional players, the players that sub par: slow, can't shoot, and rely on what the W calles "physicallity" which is merely a euphemism for "bully ball" where the slow, inept players rely on accosting and attacking players to play D (tons of fouls), clean up the horrible refereeing both non calls and phantom calls by inept refs, etc. the WNBA is going to struggle and many real BB fans that started watching because of CC, whose game is clearly on another level, who plays more like men and an NBA style of play, is why she is such a DRAW but also her competitiveness, with clean play, and her off court humility and professionalism is the icing on top of the "superstar" status, but without other players of CC's level, which honestly are NOT MANY, many viewers will only tune in to watch CC. Hopefully the lady ballers still in the NCAA, like JuJu, are also going to raise the level of play to the same style like CC, will certainly help make the W a legit league, but that will take time. Sorry for the length, but I needed to vent. Peace.
I’m watching highlights of the WNBA games after Indiana lost, but Caitlin has spoiled me. Her basketball IQ is off the charts. Watch how she gets opposing players to screen for her. It’s hilarious. Now when I go back to watching my local NBA team during preseason it’s starting to look lackluster to me.
SB using the words "hating on" is deliberately offensive, a tactic often used when the point being made is weak.
Just like everything CC, it time for those around her to rise up. In this case, the wnba needs to close the gap, thenonly way to do that is with improved play and better connection to more fans. That only happens when the WNBA decides to be a sports league and is cut off from the NBA. They could do a millon a game with sellouts all year long, theybare up against baseball, which is mostly stale these days.
"I started watching the WNBA because of Caitlin" is the most over said and overplayed comment. There has and will always be fans of other players. She elevated the league no doubt but the league is FULL of talented players and Superstars and more eyes means more fans of others. A rising tide..
Yeah it’s the added fans
@@TheRobinLundberg agreed no doubt
Its to give CC her flowers, the haters want to disregard that fact,
I think Caitlin having all these haters is a bit manufactured. It's her fanbase that gets the hate because they tend to trash everyone around her including her own teammates and coach. Caitlin talent and influence is undeniable and she seems like a great person and I'm not a fan either.
It is NOT manufactured AT ALL. Did uou pay attention while Clark was at Iowa this past season?
Clark was getting all kinds of hate. Swooped and DT all made their famous comments while Clark was still playing at Iowa. The narrative that CC fans are xyz didn't begin until AFTER the Chennedy Carter thing.
Congrats WNBA. 1.1 million is impressive. Just 21 million more to catch up w the NCAAW final.
Liberty have fans. That’s not a surprise. When is the expansion draft? Is espn still talking wnba?
These comments say it all and it shows way there is such a negative divide. Everyones missing the point. But you guys will figure that out on your time. Just hope its not to late.
Well said
You are correct, but what people be getting confused about is (popular and generation) I'm not talking about you I'm talking about people on the other "YT" channel, CC is a generation shooting, passed but Candace parker is a generation women basketball player, the popularity that Caitlin Clark have brought? to the WNBA that generation.
it can confused simple minded people. CCs effect has risen the WNBA ratings in general. meaning the views have risen (without her in this playoffs) from last year to this year AND also it would obviously be higher if she were still in the playoffs. dummies think that because the views did not diabolically plummet in her absence means that she was never the focal point of the rise in views of the wnba since her arrival. get over it, CC is the lightning rod of the wnba and the ratings of the finals this year as opposed to previous years is a ripple effect of her presently in the WNBA
Hey, Robin, you are either not seeing the full picture or you are misinformed.
Only Caitlin Clark games can compare to the most viewed games EVER - and those were between 1997 and 2000.
Caitlin Clark games are far superior to the 2000 season, and compare quite well to 1997 and 1999.
The games WITHOUT Caitlin are far lower than the best years between 1997 and 2000.
Now, 3 factors to take into consideration:
1-due to the pandemic, the rebound in viewership was inevitable.
2-Due to increases in spending in marketing campaigns, the increase in viewership was inevitable.
3-Finally, the Caitlin Clark effect has indeed propagated to the rest of the league.
So, try and make an actual multidimensional analysis of what is behind this growth. The semis and 1st final games didn't happen in isolation, several factors contributed to it. Disregarding factor #3 above is faulty logic.
context and nuance
The third truth is the ratings are still trash, 1M views is still tiny. They need to be four times that to be just "ok" from a financial standpoint. TV shows get canceled when they have these ratings. You have to look at this from what is acceptable for mainstream advertisers and these don't cut it. No it is not a success. You are comparing bad with worse.
So true
We won’t really know the impact until the numbers for the finals are released. NY and Vegas have the largest fan bases after Indiana. Both sides are being disingenuous with the metrics.
The fact is y'all boycotted and your ship is still growing the numbers have been evident over the last couple years if you haven't noticed double digit increases are a huge success in any business. Haters gonna continue to hate though doesnt make a difference because they don't dictate what actually happens.
@@hottrakz yawn… miss us w your bias and race related nonsense.
@@hottrakzhuh?
Teams that beat Fever were always going to pull attention.
Connecticut cannot draw a fly.
REMEMBER - DJ was angry thst no one paid attention to them when the sun played at the Celtics Arena.... and their coach was mad because no one showed up to honor Britney griners first game back during the preseason.
The game on ABC today even with football the ratings will be high af so you can finally be quiet…
The only one I'm interested in outside of the fever and CC is Stewie. Why? Because of Stewie from family Guy. And it's fun to say Stewieeeee all game long.
Watch ratings for European team if CC leaves W.
Plus in the Playoffs .............CLARK was ATTACK in both GAME w/ no REFs !!!
cc affect already in affect or affected w/ or w/o cc truth be told
Stopped watching when the refs didn't call any fouls on the people assaulting Caitlin Clark and not calling a single foul, from her getting poked in the eye, to Mabry knocking her in the head and slammed to the floor... even the announcers were appalled!!!
You people are crazy. Of course CC helped the ratings. But she's long gone. And they still are booming. That's nothing new in basketball. When LeBron is in the finals he draws 25 or 30 million without him not so much. She is definitely a draw but put this in perspective. Lets see how it's going in 3 to 5 years.
This is by far your worst take ever. It's clearly the CC effect. CC brought so many eye balls to the wnba that even fans of hers became fans of other players and teams in the league.
Why do we have to continually hear that we don’t need Caitlin, see the numbers? What is so bad that people find joy in watching Caitlin Clark? I’m not boycotting the WNBA. I watched the end of game 1 when I saw online that it was close.
Talk about aja
So, first I’m told the viewership in the finals was the highest in 21 years. I’m not sure how that’s a record. Second, the viewership is less than half the final CC game and isn’t a drop in viewership? This is why I just can’t give credence to so many comments. When basic math eludes people, I don’t see a way to have a discussion. How some see the world is vastly different than I do. I guess if I get $2.5million and they get $1.2million, then state it isn’t less? Why are they complaining about their salaries?
COMPARE this to the same effect of the presidential elections. RfK brought back honesty and integrity to give the country hope except for his opposition...like the Caitlin Clark effect did for the WNBA. RfK is out of the picture like Caitlin not in playoffs. He still affects the outcome of the election like Caitlin continues to affect viewership. Who you going to vote for or not is like asking are you going to continue to watch the playoffs to support the next person/team? Sports parallels our lives outside of it as well.
The real wnba fans are watching the finals. Not the Clarkies cult..
Ddon't be insulting, the new fans may leave.
Lol, I don't you're even watching the finals.
The W is really gonna suck for you "true" fans for the next 10 years. Enjoy. 🤡
