Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has earned a well deserved rest, that after also earning her WNBA respect. But although she may not be taking the court again until the Fever resume play on August 16th, her effect has been felt all across the league. The W is fresh off a record-setting All-Star Game, just secured a big new media rights deal, and has seen merchandise sales surge. Clark is clearly the driving force behind the explosive growth, something the WNBA does not deny.
The league's Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison told the Indianapolis Star exactly that during All-Star weekend. "I'm not gonna deny the Caitlin Clark effect. And we've really seen it most importantly in viewership, you know, our average viewership numbers are over 1.2 million. And so that sort of growth is important because we're opening the aperture and bringing in new fans. So Caitlin was really a catalyst to bringing in a lot of new fans, as well as our other rookies, who came in through NCAA into this draft. It's been an amazing draft class to watch."
That average viewership number of 1.2 million referenced is particularly staggering given the W had not seen a number over million since 2008 prior to this season. Meanwhile, Fever games routinely far exceed a million viewers. That upward trend goes for attendance as well, as the team is first overall with an average of 16,698 fans per contest. Up from around 4,000 a season ago. With some opposing teams also notably moving into bigger arenas to accommodate demand when Indy has come into town.
So it probably shouldn't be newsworthy for the league to acknowledge the effect of Clark, because it has been obvious to anyone paying attention. With a lot more people falling into that category now, since so many are clearly watching.

'Caitlin Clark is New Tiger Woods' Claims ESPN Analyst
ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III gave Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark the ultimate comparison.
A level of gatekeeping is happening among hardcore WNBA writers and analysts regarding Caitlin Clark's economic impact on the league. Despite the viewership ratings booming at record numbers and WNBA teams having to play in other arenas to support games featuring the Indiana Fever rookie, many suggest Clark's impact is rendered as a by-product of an already-bubbling league.
However, Clark's stunning number of All-Star votes compared to the leaders from last season, most notably A'Ja Wilson, bring the truth to light: Clark's insertion into the WNBA is a significant reason for the WNBA's success.
ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III compared Clark's effects on the WNBA's viewership to what Tiger Woods did for professional golf.
Robert Griffin stated on X (formerly known as Twitter): "Caitlin Clark haters are punching air right now. The WNBA All-Star votes says what most of us already knew. Caitlin Clark is the WNBA’s Tiger Woods. More people watch the W because of her. Period. Total votes increased by 598% for the top 5 players from 2023 to 2024."
Admittedly, garnering the most fan votes doesn't make for a better player, but it definitely reflects social influence. Last season, Wilson earned 98,860 votes as the top vote-getter in the WNBA. This season, Clark led all players with 700,735. How could one see the stark differences and not acknowledge Clark's seismic impact on a league desperately requiring financial production?
Although Clark's rival Angel Reese is also responsible for new WNBA fandom, the proof is in the numbers. Clark is the ultimate influence on a league, evolving from a financial burden to a valuable asset. Sometimes, things are simply black and white, with only doubters hoping for grey specks in the picture.

The case for Caitlin Clark’s value
According to fox studio radio, "Steve Hartman is adamant that Caitlin Clark is the WNBA's most valuable player. His argument centers on her ability to draw crowds and generate revenue, which he believes are the ultimate measures of a player's value to the league.
“If you’re actually talking about who is the most ‘valuable’ player in the WNBA, it should unanimously be Caitlin Clark because she puts butts in seats,” Hartman asserts. He acknowledges that being the most valuable doesn’t necessarily mean being the best player but emphasizes the financial and attendance boost she brings.
Hartman points to the substantial ratings and attendance figures for Fever games as evidence. Clark’s games are consistently breaking TV viewership records and filling arenas, something that was rare before her arrival. Hartman argues that the mere presence of Clark has given the WNBA an unprecedented opportunity for exposure and growth. He believes that Clark’s popularity has created a buzz around the league that wasn’t there before, effectively making her the most valuable asset the WNBA has.
