The WNBA got their "Michael Jordan" in Caitlin Clark, and received record attendance and ratings for her games, but women being women, they got jealous and catty and have potentially "succeeded" in running her off overseas to play in Europe. If I'm Clark why go back? She will make more money and have less headaches in Europe or Asia than she has here. But does it matter? Even with Clark, the league still managed to lose $40m this year overall. Now the players opt out of the CBA, because they want additional revenue sharing? I know most women suck at math, so it would be great if somebody there could educate their players union that this only works when the organization makes a profit.
If I'm the NBA, I'm pulling the life support and telling the WNBA that they are on their own. There's too much drama, too much lost money, and zero benefit of having the league around.
I don't think they really milked it. The current and former players and coaches have kind of shit on her to a point where they have turned off a lot of people. I think the moment Clark leaves, the WNBA will have less attendance and less ratings, than they were getting before she was drafted in the league. They really fucked themselves.

Well yeah, Ducks winning the whole shebang is always more important than the whining LeBron.
The NBA being bad doesn't make the wnba any more compelling. Hth.

I like Whitlock, going back over a decade, but there are still a ton of people who don't care about the WNBA bro.
The whole Caitlyn Clark controversy and milking it to try to build up the league is so weak and cringe.
