WNBA star Caitlin Clark has generated unparalleled enthusiasm for women’s basketball, though her increasing popularity has also stirred controversy within the sports world, as she frequently faces baseless racist hostility.

“The WNBA has been a failure forever, it just has been,” Fox News contributor, Guy Benson said. “They don’t make money. They have not turned a profit ever.”

“And you look at the interest at the college level now, at the WNBA level in Caitlin Clark, the jersey sales, the ticket sales, the TV ratings. This league would be suicidal to not protect its most valuable asset in the history of the league,” Benson added.
