WNBA Yet Again IGNORE THIER BIGGEST STAR Just To Say, “We Did It WITHOUT Caitlin Clark.” Pathetic.
**WNBA Ignores Its Biggest Star Again – A Sad Attempt to Prove “We Don’t Need Caitlin Clark”**
Welcome to the *Ben Daniel Podcast*, where things are called for what they are. Today, we’re talking about the WNBA’s latest gimmick.
Next season, the **Atlanta Dream** and **Seattle Storm** will make history by playing the WNBA’s first **regular season** game in Canada on **August 15, 2025**, at **Rogers Arena** in Vancouver. Sounds big, right? But behind this grand announcement lies a subtle effort by the WNBA.
### What the WNBA Is Actually Doing
Let me be clear: This is another example of the “old” WNBA completely ignoring their current biggest star, **Caitlin Clark**, and the new crop of rookies. The WNBA will run home and proudly proclaim:
“Look, we sold out without Caitlin Clark! The WNBA is fine!”
Put yourself in the shoes of a WNBA fan in Canada. Which game would you rather see?
– **Atlanta Dream vs Seattle Storm**?
– **New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever**?
– **Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever**?
The problem is clear: The WNBA is missing out on a new audience by not featuring a star like Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever) or a top team like the Liberty or Aces. Instead, they chose two underrated teams, the **Atlanta Dream** and the **Seattle Storm**.
### The WNBA’s Bad Choices
The truth is:
– **Atlanta Dream**: This team plays in a **4,000-seat arena** and can’t even sell out.
– **Seattle Storm**: Despite being a little more popular, they still had to cover the front rows because they couldn’t fill the stands.
Instead of bringing in “fresh air” with Caitlin Clark, a star who is attracting a lot of new fans, the WNBA chose “old names” that few people care about. This move is to affirm that:
> “We were doing well before Caitlin Clark came. We don’t need her!”

### Where Will the Game Be Broadcasted?
Next question: What channel will this game be broadcast on? Was it on **ABC**, **ESPN**, or **CBS**? The answer is: **No**. It’s highly likely that this game will be shown on WNBA League Pass or some obscure channel like Amazon that no one will watch.
While the WNBA may boast about “selling out” in Canada, if people aren’t watching on television, what’s the point of this story? The end result is a game that will be quickly forgotten.

### Overview
This isn’t just another game – it’s another chapter in the “WNBA doesn’t need Caitlin Clark” saga. Instead of celebrating and leveraging Clark’s charisma to grow the league, the WNBA seems to be trying to prove the opposite: that they were “fine” all along. This is a display of **jealousy** and **intolerance**.
Imagine: The first ever historic game in Canada without the likes of Caitlin Clark or any of the top teams. It’s a **disappointing but not surprising** decision.
