- Team USA, without Caitlin Clark, played their first-round game in the Paris, Olympics and the fans did not show up. It was the worst-attended game by far. Let's talk about it.
Caitlin Clark, the #1 overall pick in the WNBA draft has completely upended the entire league. She's shattering records both on the court, in viewership, live attendance, and even merchandise sales. From selling out WNBA All-Star jerseys in mere minutes to selling out of her Wilson basketball 'Limitless" signature series in hours, she's revolutionizing women's basketball.
Hey All, you'll hear me say I didn't think I'd be doing another video tonight. I did this late last night, and set it to go live and must've messed that up so here it is now! Let me know what you think of the amazing attendance!
"Leave CC off the team?... I am not watching any USA basketball games."- just about every U.S. fan
Most of the world knows Team USA denied them the chance to watch greatness out of spite. Who wants to support people like that?
Why we don't watch them. Looks like few are.
GTFOH with this bs lmao
The USA Team and coach Reeve really don’t give 2 shits about the ratings. So they got what they want.
It just shows that nobody gives two shits about this team. 😂😂😂😂
Those fans were Japan’s fans. 😂😂😂😂😂
To boil it all down, these usa coaches and team veterans are MEAN. And Jealous. Mean people suck.
That USA team is not representing.
Serbia v Puerto Rico? beats attendance for USA? That says it all. Trust me on this Team USA do care and I frigging love it
Too many players and coaches thought the massive crowds were the new normal. Indeed it is normal...when Caitlyn's on the court.
The W is a very dysfunctional league from the commissioner down.
Clark's notoriety has spread world wide and so has her Olypmic snub. I think the world wide audience feels it has been robbed of its chance to see CC on the world stage. We are watching retribution in real time. The snubb'ers are being snubbed. Poetic justice if I ever saw it. You can't even make this shit up! Imagine if they lose a game? But I do think Coach Reeve gets some credit here as well. How could she think she could behave in such a manner in front of the world without consequence? She taints the entire team before they even hit the floor.
Thursday game will be well attended by Belgium fans. Belgium borders France and not far away from Paris. 179 miles away from the border. These Networks are F'ing disgusting. The WNBA screws the TV ratings by not selecting CC. Then protect the WNBA by not reporting the viewership numbers. Networks should put the blame on the USA Committee and demand free ad space for loss revenue to the sponsors. NBC will have to give the sponsors free spots because of this after the Olympics. They had to do that in the last Summer Olympics.
My first time rooting against a USA team. I regret giving the wnba a chance this year. What horrible "women" in and around the league.
Apparently NBC is showing high ratings for the Olympics, without actually showing us the numbers!!
That's convenient!
Well I would say if the coach exhibits and models the type of behavior that repels fans from watching and supporting the team, that's a good reason to find a replacement coach going forward. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I do believe that the American and the world’s basketball fans are not going to the games because of the CC snub. It shows in the attendance. The W and its players keep pushing me away.
DO IT COACH Make that FAN VIDEO - Let me explain - I'm a huge football/rugby/soccer fan! We are crazy, fun loving, talking smack, painting our bodies and faces, screaming screaming screaming, and in the end we all meet at a local sports bar, even with our greatest adversaries/rivalries, and have a huge party! I'm also former athlete coach and mentor to young adults in the entertainment and sports community. I feel the biggest problem in this whole Caitlin Clark WNBA situation has to do with the culture of being fans in the WNBA versus being fans in other sports.
(No, I'm not talking about the 5% racist idiots on both sides. I'm talking about pure crazy fun fan epic sports fans)
I became a Caitlin Clark fan like millions of others, I became a real Caitlin Clark fan, doing all the things that great fans do! But then I hear Gino, the women on ESPN, many of the Hall of Fame players, which I like, telling me that I'm acting with disrespect, by being crazy and nutty for CC. Then on top of that, I see the league punishing my player,CC, for actions! I feel like a 10 year-old who's running around the neighborhood having a blast with his friends and then going into old Mrs. Johnson's house for Kool-Aid and her scolding us for our rambunctious behavior.
I really feel like WNBA is a bunch of grandmas who don't want crazy fans! They are telling me that I should like A'ja Wilson, and other players as much as Caitlin Clark, and if I don't show EQUAL excitement then I'm being disrespectful. Does that happen in any other sport? Does the commissioner of the NFL and top Hall of Fame players get mad at Cleveland Browns fans because they don't cheer on the other hall of fame players.
I'm not gonna apologize for being an old dude screaming at the TV telling CC to kick their AS...@!!! Because thats what FANS DO. Why do you (Coach) and many others have to spend so much time trying to explain why CC is good? We know why she is so good.
And thay can't netuerlize us by throwing us a Double Double record to say - "SEE! There are other players who are better. We want your money and your attention but you have to behave and be respectful to all of the other players equally first before we will endorse the player you love so much. WE are not the NFL!" - Thats what it feels like.
As far as the OLYMPICS -We all know they didn't want their sorority to be invaded by CC and all her fans.
I wish they would just come out and say that. "We understand that Caitlin Clark is going to come into the league and change things up for us with the style of play that she brings and all of the millions of fans that are coming with her. We want this year's Olympics to be the last year where we recognize those that have built this league to where it is now. So we're choosing not to bring in any of this year's rookies. We are all nervous about what the future looks like for the WNBA but one thing we cannot deny is the tremendous growth that CC brings along with a few other of this year's rookies's class mainly Angel Reese and her fans."
Im sorry, COACH, but us FANS are coming and they better put plastic runners on the rug and lets in to drink our Kool AId!!!
Hey, The USA Womans team doesn't even realize. That's a good crowd for them more than they are used to. LOL
Can’t even find the game on regular tv.
The games so far have been on the USA network, ironically.
Cheryl Reeve: It's not us, it's them. Nobody wants to watch Japan's women's basketball. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Karma is becoming best friends with these ladies 😂
To put labels like "new fans" and "CC fans" is so offensive and petty. I'm one of those "new" WNBA, and let me tell you something - I started watching NBA in early 90' (30 years ago) following Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Steph and the common between those is that they excel in what they do and I describe myself as basketball and NBA fan, love watching special games, amazing performances, records and out of this world class plays! The fact I don't watch WNBA is because the difference between NBA and WNBA games is day and night, both in terms of talent, speed/performance, competition and overall watchability. So, not following WNBA is only because it hurts my eyes and I have twenty other things that I can do and not waste my time with WNBA or Team USA.
The fact that I've subscribed for WNBA games this year is only because what CC brings to the table makes is good enough to catch my attention and actually want to watch Fever games. Still not exactly NBA game level, but good enough to follow what is going on. However I have zero interest watching Team USA in France, so good luck!
The ratings are embarrassing and they won’t probably even put out them ratings. If the attendance is low, then ratings are probably even lower and they can’t get away from Clark and her fan base because one of Japan’s Fans had a sign and said you need Clark to beat us so funny and the funny part about it is team USA looked over there and pointed at the guy. Clark got the whole WNBA thinking about her 24 seven but I actually think if Japan had tall girls on their team, they would’ve beaten team USA, because all they needed was a tall girl in the post that can actually score and rebound, because Japan made more threes than the whole entire team USA 😂😂😂😩😩
Caitlin doesn’t belong on Team USA. There are more experience and better players than her.
It's a good thing these players got their taste of that "reality". Perhaps that "reality" was low attendance?
NOW I get it! DT's "reality coming" comment must have been about all the packed arenas and huge TV ratings following all the new hoops fans brought on by CC. So many commenters whether on podcasts or elsewhere so obviously uneducated about basketball. 🙄 I know I knew absolutely nothing having played, coached and watched for years and I'm quite certain there's many more just like me.
Good grief! Call it Karma or whatever but it certainly does appear in this case what goes around, comes around. This "old guard" mentality is just nauseating. It's becoming more obvious by the day more and more fans are growing tired of that crap!
Cheryl Reeves brought her WNBA empty seat culture to the Olympics
FYI, I'm a basketball fan AND a CC fan, not some casual bandwagoner.
Sad number of viewership!
The Team USA is winning bc they are playing against other teams with high school levels of play.
Team USA look like garbage and please NOTE: THEY ARE OUT THERE ATTEMPTING TO PLAY CC'S STYLE OF BASKETBALL.
Let's be REAL!
Are they? I haven't bothered watching
@@casualcausalityy just watching highlights
@@noprisonplanet Fair enough
It was a layup for Team USA, but they let Angel Reese shoot it. Clang!
They coulda let Clark shoot it ...her percentage aint much better. Quit the gaslighting. Clark is right were she belongs. Sitting her ASS at home
Caitlin should do a live RUclips video at same time as the next USA game and see who gets more views
Caitlin would get more views making brownies or practicing her shot and moves.
Have CC play an exhibition charity golf match with Michael Jordan at the same time as U.S.A. Women's basketball. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 true
@ChicksDigScarsPodcast I would be interested in your take. A podcast idea…Free agents who are not in the WNBA but Olympians who would improve the roster of the Fever that could be signed for the rest of the season who would compliment CC.
Players in the Olympics that might be a good signing in the future.
For example, Megan Gustafson rides the bench a lot with the ACES she runs and plays defense
CC drives the viewership the WNBA. It should not come as a shock to anyone how dismal the rating will be for the women's basketball team.
Did you hear the 3v3 team lost to Germany?
I did! I was going to do a video about it but haven't had the time. Not only did they lose they lost to a bad team. They should still win gold but it's not a good look considering how dominant we've been in basketball.
I was a WNBA fan… they calling all the new fans Caitlin Clark fans 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why can’t we just be fans of great talent….
Well the game was live on USA Network an NBC owned Network that has a ton of Olympic activities. Duhh

You're trying too hard bro. I'm a big CC fan, but even I know the biggest reason WNBA fans didn't show up to the PARIS Olympics is because it's in PARIS. There's a big difference between showing up to a game being hosted in your city or one city over vs showing up to a game overseas. Don't do too much.
New/casual fans has always been a derogatory term since day 1
TV numbers are gonna be decent and misleading because they many times but multiple sports together. I was watching something else and left for a while. When i came back USA v. Japan was on. Quickly changed channels. Came back later and it was a different event. So a little inaccurate plus some people like my wife puts Olympics on and leaves tv running all day for our 3 dogs 😮
Good point! That's why I want to see the ratings for the exhibition game against Germany last week. We got the ratings for the men's exhibition game. The women's was on the same channel.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast they probably will never share those rating because I am guessing they were miserable. Maybe 200k. If that.
Its a boring team, yahn yahn yek1
Woohoo cheryl reeve....great job...hahah...should b out of the wnba w in a year.. bye😂
Cc would be the first one picked for the 2028 team. I don’t think they can make this same mistake twice. That’s right, there’re team USA, and they could
Why watch the B team anyway!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I love the height privilege reference!
Ha! Thanks!
If I was going to get one of the size 3 Icon Basketballs other then Caitlin Clark's which seems to be always sold out , would be the Angle Reese Mini Basketball for the reason of the pretty blue that it is .I know that isn't a good reason to buy it and it is suppose to be for a person's favorite Team or player , but Wilson got it right with one of prettiest shade of Blue I think I have ever seen for a Product of theirs or for any product at that .
REALITY HAS COME TO THE USA WOMENS OLYMPIC TEAM FOR SNUBBING CAITLIN CLARK...they now experience a very LOW LIVE ATTENDANCE...
Stay strong. Maintain the boycott.
I wouldn't watch if they paid me
❤CC22🐐
The Real WNBA USA Team MVP
nobody wants to see a slow boring team B on the women's side... I'd rather watch Hallmark TV than that crap... and we know how hideous Hallmark TV is
If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? If the women's basketball team plays and nobody attended, does it matter?
This statistic is somewhat misleading as the games are in Europe and, as such, it should be no surprise that the EUROPEAN teams are drawing more spectators to that event. After all, it's much easier to hop on an express train from Spain (for example) than it is for a person to fly to Paris from the U.S. So, while I personally refuse to watch Team U.S.A. because of the extreme hatred the coach and some of the players have for C.C., I don't think this statistic necessarily proves anything.
It didn't affect the men. They outdrew the games that included Germany or France (the host country and its neighbor).
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast That's definitely an interesting point. However, that shouldn't be too surprising as the NBA is much more popular than the WNBA. I mean, we're talking about Stephen Curry, Keven Durant, LeBron James, etc. Heck, we've even got Steve Kerr on the coaching staff. So yeah, I can understand why fans in Europe would prefer watching them play Serbia (a European team) in Europe. But even if they draw a big crowd in their next game with Sudan, that doesn't mean that it has anything to do with Caitlyn Clark. But hey, you could be right, and I mean no offense--but it just seems like an apples-to oranges-comparison to me.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast I hear what you're saying but that leaves me with one main question: Let's say that the US Women's team goes to the Gold Medal round and has to play...oh...I dunno...France. And the game is sold out. Then, the question would become---is it because there was this "sudden interest" in the WNBA (and therefore C.C. wasn't a factor at all) or was it because the game was against France in....of all places...Paris? See what I mean? Now, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just not sure that attendance is the right tool to measure the interest. Personally, I would prefer to know the actual ratings overall. I say this because, I don't plan on watching ANY of the American women's basketball games on television. And I'm thinking a lot more people are feeling the same way---and only the overall ratings will tell us that. But maybe I'm wrong.
Who won the game?
One thing you is forgetting is attendance don't win games..go team USA.you All is doing great without cc the flop
"you is forgetting". Do you self a favor, just don't speak.
LOL! Have you ever noticed none of these trolls make any sense? They can't put together a coherent thought. It's good for a laugh.
CC GOT GAME.BLWNBA GOT LAME.....
When is you going to find something else to talk about to make some money because this is getting old.cc is not going 😅😅😅go ask her y'all is pushing her to be something that's she's not and it's going to back fire so be ready when it happens
This coverage is so lame. Why would anyone travel across the world to watch a blow out of USA over the shorter Japan? If CC had been there, sure, attendance would have been higher. Nonetheless, this relentless beating the dead horse coverage is completely unimaginative. CC is not on the team, BTW, because she started off her season horribly and thus didn’t make the cut. You guys ‘n gals are horrible and unimaginative and grossly uninformative about the teams.
Still harping on old news.. you can hate on the Wnba, the Olympic USA team all you want. No one cares. Your girl's not playing, didn't even make the team. Even if she was playing and viewership was up and we lost. We'd be in the same boat. The name of the game is to win and they (team USA) did just that. But y'all keep riding the Catilin Clark bandwagon...it's a shame she's the only player in the wagon. Maybe we'll see Catilin in the 28 games if she makes that team. Love the you guys find ways to try and keep her relivent even when she's not playing. Gotta love it.
The Olympics are going on right now, this info is new lol.
Get used to CC, because you'll be hearing about her for a long time ;)
They lied. They set the team sooner than any other team. They selected players who were injured. It was all politics... People hate politics in their sports. A player, who should have been on this team, dropped out because of politics. The WNBA tried to tell fans they are wrong, and who they should be supporting. What sport tries to demand the fans to support other players they seem more deserving... They get everything they deserve.
@@PerpetualSmile Really, the Olympics are on right now?Duh! Old news is the ratings. It's's an on going non-sense adventure ever 4 years. Just for the record, I am a CC fan. Trouble is you can't even enjoy her game without all the drama that comes in the aftermath. Which is why I single her out as being alone. Hagd!
@@edwardbietsch993 Don't really care about the politics. Regardless of who's there I'm supporting my country. Catilin fans try to include her in every narrative. And some of those narratives don't even make sense. Glad we're not at war because you'd be voting for the enemy if CC didn't get drafted. Just sick of all the drama to where I can't enjoy the game. Hagd!
@@jazzylady7351 that is ridiculously stupid. I don't even want Clark on the team I couldn't care less. The rosters were set in stone on I think Saturday. I'm not watching race walking either, I don't care who wins that.
Team USA ratings will never get released to the public. They are so embarrassed, the attendance give us a idea what ratings are 📉📉📉📉
