WNBA All-Star Game Sells Out As Caitlin Clark Helps Double Attendance Over Last Year

2. That reprehensible coach from the Lynx

said she didn't give a "s**t" about the additional fans before the game in Minnesota on Sunday. What a great management administration of a team. So if you're the team owner you've lost money every single year and had to be propped up financially by the NBA as a sanctioning body. Along comes this opportunity to have a massive increase in ticket revenue etc. and your coach says she doesn't care. Brilliant. Especially after coaches and players complaining for the last years about not enough money.

But apparently the coach might have received some "counseling" from the GM or owner before she came out for the post-game press conference because then she spoke about how the increased attendance is a good thing that the league needs to capitalize on. Substantially different from "I don't give two s**ts" from just a couple of hours before. At least we would hope the talk took place.

But the stupidity and inept management doesn't just apply to this coach etc. It also applies to the Fever team itself and the WNBA/NBA management. The Caitlin Clark All Star Jersey went up for sale on the Fever store site on Friday morning and was completely sold out in under 20 minutes. Fans were, and still are, highly pissed off that the Fever stated there would be no plan for restocking the jersey. Management brilliance like this is truly something to behold. You couldn't possibly mismanage a situation worse and the WNBA/NBA Commissioners and Fever ownership/management end up demonstrating gross incompetence to plan for backup production delivery. It is not a small matter as you piss people off, demonstrate you can't manage your way out of a wet paper bag and basically give the middle finger to millions and millions of dollars all while complaining about not making a profit.
