The WNBA Playoffs started this past Sunday...and America barely seemed to notice. While the Indiana Fever drew respectable ratings...the rest of the WNBA struggled to draw an audience. We reveal and react to WNBA ratings for the playoffs.

We discuss media coverage of WNBA ratings...and explain why the media refuses to give you the full truth. We explain why these WNBA ratings...are a nightmare scenario for WNBA players. We also explain why it's time for WNBA players to prove they can perform without Caitlin Clark...and question whether WNBA players are capable of drawing respectable ratings.

The 2025 WNBA Playoffs are here and we’ve got plenty to break down! We recap Game 1 between the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream, where physicality and refereeing became the story of the night. From questionable calls and technicals… the Fever are in a win or go home situation tomorrow night.

We also dive into A’ja Wilson’s dominance with the Las Vegas Aces, Breanna Stewart’s scary injury in the Liberty vs. Mercury matchup, and whether the Golden State Valkyries have any shot against the Minnesota Lynx. Plus, Rachel explains why inconsistent officiating continues to hold the WNBA back during its most important stretch of the season.

Caitlin Clark just made the most SHOCKING decision in basketball history - turning down a $15 MILLION offer from Ice Cube's Big 3 League! 🤯
While the WNBA ratings have CRASHED by 50% without their biggest star, Clark chose long-term strategy over quick cash. Here's the breakdown:
💰 Big 3 Offer: $15M for just 10 games ($1.5M per game!)
📈 Clark's Endorsements: $15M+ annually
📺 WNBA Ratings: Down from 1.2M to 500K viewers
🏀 Nike Deal: $28M over 8 years
Was this the smartest business move ever or did she leave money on the table?
