USA Womens Basketball Team & Cheryl Reeve FAILING MISERABLY To Sell Tickets Without Caitlin Clark‼️
What’s going on, guys? It’s your boy John, and Liquidor coming back with another video. So, it looks like shock and new information are coming out of Paris. The Team USA Women’s Basketball team is having trouble filling seats in these arenas. Guys, for this one, we’ve got to go to the Paris Olympics. Let’s get it. Let’s go!
Just like we all predicted, man, no one wanted to go see Jurassic Park in the Olympics. The Paris Olympics committee is mad. The US Women’s Basketball team is not filling seats for their games, and it’s starting to make national news.
Now, we all know the WNBA has been killing it over here in the States, selling out games every time. A lot of that has been because Caitlyn Clark is a big part of that. But Caitlyn Clark is not on this team. We all know what happened—they snubbed her.
Now, what if I told you that Paris is not happy about the snub? It’s being reported that the Olympics are having trouble selling tickets for the US vs. Germany women’s basketball game, which is scheduled for August 4th. Special offer tickets are now available for only 24 euros each, and the seats can be anywhere in the venue, maybe even in the front row. They’re basically giving tickets away to fill this arena because we already know when this thing comes on NBC and the arena is empty, it’s going to raise eyebrows online.
We know, just like I reported before, Caitlyn Clark has been selling out arenas throughout the States. They’re mad right now. Caitlyn Clark has consistently drawn massive crowds as a phenom in women’s basketball, selling out arenas in the US and even forcing the WNBA to move games to bigger venues.
We saw this happen countless times this season. For instance, the Las Vegas Aces had to move their game from the Michelob Ultra Arena to the T-Mobile Arena. The Caitlyn Clark effect has proven to generate large ticket sales. The Women’s Basketball team decided not to select Caitlyn Clark for the roster, going with 12 other players. Which is, let’s be real, dinosaurs. I just had to keep it real.
The Indiana Fever rookie now watches from afar. Caitlyn Clark did speak with reporters yesterday, stating that she has been paying close attention to this year’s Olympics whenever she can. And I’m telling you right now, Caitlyn Clark is definitely laughing away as they struggle to fill up these arenas.
It’s crazy because I thought these were the best women in the world and people would want to see the best women in the world play. Moving on to another story, a lot of people have been poking fun at Team USA throughout their journey in Paris. None other than Stephen A. Smith has broken his silence once again about this matter.
With Caitlyn Clark not being on the team, it’s being reported that Stephen A. Smith responded to Dawn Staley on Caitlyn Clark’s absence with an irrefutable argument. The USA Women’s Basketball team started their Olympic journey with a state win over Japan, 102 to 76. However, despite their dominant performance, the game was marked by a surprisingly low turnout, drawing the smallest crowd among the opening women’s basketball games at the Paris Olympics.
This attendance issue sparked criticism from NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith, who questioned the selection committee’s decision not to include Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese on the roster. He emphasized that Caitlyn Clark has been instrumental in boosting interest in women’s basketball, both during her college career with the Iowa Hawkeyes and now in the WNBA. Stephen A. Smith argued that these players are not just skilled athletes but also draw significant viewership, which could have helped fill the arena. He presented data showing the substantial audience that Clark attracts, reinforcing his point that star players play a crucial role in bringing fans to the games.
Just like I’ve been reporting, nobody wants to come see these women play—not even overseas. Team USA’s win over Japan only drew 13,000 fans, which was the lowest-attended game among the opening six matchups in group play. The Serbia vs. Puerto Rico game was the second worst-attended game with 15,000, drawing 2,000 more fans than their game. Four of the six opening games drew over 20,000 fans. This has some observers wondering if the presence of Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese would have the stands packed for Team USA.
I’m here to tell you most definitely people want to see these two rookies play. It has been proven time and time again that Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese draw immense attention to these games when they hit the court. Not only did this year’s WNBA All-Star game set a record with 3.4 million viewers—an increase of over 300% from the 2023 game—but the top 12 WNBA broadcasts this season have all been Fever games. On top of that, the Fever lead the WNBA in attendance at over 16,000 fans per game—over 4,000 more than the next closest team.
Bro, this is jaw-dropping information right here. Caitlyn Clark is essential to the WNBA being where it’s at right now. Now, I’m getting word that they’re looking to add more value to the already $2.2 billion media deal. They’re looking to pick up another network to get another billion dollars, pushing it over the $3 billion mark. Will they do it? As of right now, I don’t know. But with Caitlyn Clark, I believe they can.
Get down in the comment section right now. Let me know your thoughts about this. I find it pretty mind-blowing that these ladies cannot sell out these tickets, being that they are the superstars of Team USA. Many championship players are on this team—A’ja Wilson, arguably one of the best players in the world, is on this team—and she too cannot help them fill these seats. This is crazy.
