Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5086795, member: 3834"] Right! I beg to differ! The unbelievable surge of attendance, ($) and viewership, ($) is largely attributable to her. Look at the top games this season, in terms of attendance and viewership and you will find her team is mysteriously featured in most of them! Attendance+viewership=money and that is why the league suddenly decided it [B]could[/B] afford charter flights! As for the new tv deal, why do you think the networks suddenly decided there was a profit potential in an organization that had never once made a profit or generated any viewership? Oh,oh, I know! They looked at the numbers that were being generated (mostly because of Clark but also to a lesser extent by Reese and others) and suddenly realized that maybe there [B]was[/B] some money to be made after all! Clark’s popularity also helped people who never watched the W to discover A’ja Wilson, Phee Collier, and others who had played in obscurity before. What has Clark gotten back? Well, let’s just say it begins with H and ends with E! I’d like to be a fly on the wall if all those tv execs that just ponied up all that money were suddenly told “Clark has had enough and has announced that she is going to go play in Europe”! Let’s just say the EMTs would have their hands full!:) [/QUOTE]
