withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 8hBack in 2024, Fever had about the same “free” tv broadcasts as Aces. After having all 15 top rated games, the broadcasters decided to show their games more. sportsnaut.com/wnba/wnba-tv... 000
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 11hBiggest draw on the road then other players when they are on the road. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 11hI think CC is still the biggest draw, but I see her as more of a gateway drug that allows people to see other awesome players. I think Kelsey and Aaliyah are getting their own fanbases when more people see them play. 100

withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 11hNot always outnumber, but large enough to compete and sometimes outcompete the home teams fans.If you don’t believe me, just rewatch.Fever home attendance does not contribute revenue to other teams the way increasing road attendance does.I’m not trying to argue fever home attendance is the highest. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 12hThe road attendance numbers speak for themselves, so argue with facts I suppose all you want, but what about your own eyes are ears? You ever watch fever road games? You hear the crowd? Most fever road games have loud cheers for the Fever. Go back and listen. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 12hThey were the most viewed team on a per game basis and have been every year since 2024. I don’t understand the point being made? 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 13hI’m focusing on fever road games because the argument is the fever help the other wnba teams generate money more than any other team through increased road ticket sales and higher tv ratings since 2024. The Fever get consistently high home attendance themselves, but thats for them. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 14hRaising prices does that, although the home attendance increased after your data here. Still my argument is that the Fever are the biggest draw for the wnba on the road and on tv. You have not posted any evidence against that. athlonsports.com/wnba/indiana... 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’m come to the realization that you are just trolling at this point. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Heres 2026, 2025 is iffy because the biggest factor, Clark, only played 13 games that year 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Note: This was before every Fever game was nationally broadcast. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026From 2024 www.si.com/wnba/indiana... 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Because of the quality of their play and because Gabby Williams is a star. People want to see good basketball, good teams, and stars. They also want to see their favorite teams play. Golden state sells out home games, Fever sell out road games. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nobody thinks of cowboys as “americas team” that is outdated Sure, there are more factors for viewers/attendance, but you are acting like the wnba started in 2024. Golden state getting a new team generated excitement locally, sparking the sellouts, and will get more national broadcasting… 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Players and quality of team. Sports broadcasters tends to market star players. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You seem to believe broadcasting games is the only factor that contributes to viewership or attendance? 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I really think you are confusing cumulative total viewers for year with average viewers per broadcast. Otherwise I don’t think your argument tracks 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is list of nationally broadcast wnba games by team. Why do you suppose ratings for fever were like 30% higher than aces in 2024, after the wnba broadcast them nationally so much the year before? 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What investment has occurred for fever that has not previously occurred for other teams. Aja gets marketed for her nationally televised games, has commercials and gets all the awards (deservedly). Sabrina and Stewie have awards, were champs in 2024, have the largest media market, get commercials… 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 04/10/2026We’ve established that there are more than just Fever games shown nationally. When the nationallly broadcast games do not involve d the Fever, the ratings are less on average for that broadcaster and have been for 3 years now. 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 04/10/2026From 2024, before all Fever games were playing nationally. sportsball.beehiiv.com/p/caitlin-cl... 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 04/10/2026CC has been a catalyst for increased growth, not the only factor. The league was growing slowly before her appearance. However she has been the primary reason for accelerated growth, as the tv ratings, fever gane attendance since 2024, and fever road games being moved to larger arenas can attest. 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You are confusing correlation with causation. Fever cause higher ratings then get shown more by business interested in their ratings. Getting higher ratings happened before all their games were nationally televised, starting in 2024. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There tv ratings jumped in 2024, when CC joined the team and at a much higher proportion than any other team. That continues to be the case, although the differences are not as stark. Tv networks/streamers promote their other wnba games too, and they don’t get the same ratings. True since 2024. 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There is a reason tv networks/streamers choose them… www.si.com/wnba/fever/c... 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The ratings per game are higher for Fever games every year since 2024 when CC plays. www.si.com/onsi/womens-... 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The link indicates the ratings are higher for espn when Fever are involved. There is no indication that it is different for other streamers but it stands to reason, they are on tv more in the first place because they get more views.These tv/streaming services are trying to make money and more views 100

withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026All are cities with a wnba franchise operating consistently since 2000. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Since CC, my argument will be mostly about increase in attendance when Fever are in town, higher tv ratings when they are involved, and fact that new media deal involved wnba selling tv/streaming services on broadcasting the Fever. Can provide citations for all if needed, but visiting family now 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Fair request: list of franchises as old or older than Fever and their metro area population. 200
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Before Caitlin Clark, on a per capita basis, no city has done more to support the wnba than Indianapolis metro area. Since CC, no team has helped the wnba grow, pay players better, and add franchises more than the Fever. #WNBA 210
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Only DC, New York and LA have supported a wnba team longer than Indianapolis. They have the right to be defensive. 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026“Vibes” from their tv screen. They complain about CC supposed culture war fans despite her repeated rejections of their messages and attitudes, while not blaming Azi for her fans’ repeated excesses. The Fever fans have supported the wnba for 26 years much longer than any metro area their size. 110
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I was watching another game, but the nfl just had a game between Aaron Rogers and Deshaun Watson. “Woke” is coming for the Fever? I’m not dismissing the idea there are racist Fever fans, but there there were no verified instances of racist actions at Gainbridge this year. People complain about… 100
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don’t think any ref saw the CC hit, the ball was going the other way. You think Aja didn’t complain when the game stopped? I can’t read lips but she looked frustrated on the replay, showing her elbow to refs and yelling. Players, especially stars and coaches, work the refs. 110
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026She definitely needs to tone down the techs. But Aja got cut on the elbow and complained to refs earlier in game. CC got hit and had a bloody mouth and complained to the refs. She’s doing the same thing in the press conference other competitive ppl do when they think a foul call was missed. 110
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 01/10/2026As a Fever fan, I’m glad she isn’t suspended. Now I don’t think dude was going to continue to the court, but I don’t think Aja violated the spirit of that rule. 030
withmorewit.bsky.social @withmorewit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Not saying there aren’t racists in Indiana but this person was identified as a gambler from Texas, and had no ties to Indiana. 000
