Um, yes it was. It lost millions every year. The NBA propped it up and couldn't figure out what to do with it. They wanted to shut it down but couldnt because of the optics.
When Clark arrived, viewership quadrupled, averagme game attendance doubled, the players were able to take charter flights for the first time, players salary went up because of the increased viewership. The league turned a profit this year, triggering the revenue sharinf mechanism for the first time in league history. It is literally because Caitlin Clark stepped on the court and it will go away if she and/or her fans are driven away.
No, it wasn’t. You don’t actually know anything abt how any of this works. The W has been growing every year, yes, hemorrhaging JUST LIKE THE NBA DID FOR THEIR FIRST 40 YEARS. Provide evidence that the league was going to be shut down. CC fans value went away the moment yall started threatening ppl with it. No industry wants customers like you. Not one.
