The WNBA is facing serious criticism despite its recent surge in popularity, thanks to stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Attendance is up 156%, viewership averages 1.3 million, and online store sales skyrocketed by 756%. However, the league is still losing $50 million, partly due to charter flights. Controversially, the WNBA changed its media policy to limit Angel Reese’s press availability, even though her rivalry with Caitlin Clark boosted the league’s visibility. This, combined with Caitlin Clark not being invited to Team USA, raises questions about the WNBA's management.
