From Dan Rather and Team Steady’s April 18th Substack:

“The tired old argument that women’s sports in general and basketball, in particular, don’t generate the same viewership or excitement as men’s, has finally been busted wide open.”

Also from Dan Rather’s article:

“The final of the women’s NCAA tournament, which saw Clark and her Hawkeyes lose to South Carolina, had 4 million more viewers than the men’s final. And the WNBA draft was watched by 2.5 million people, a massive increase from a previous high of 600,000.”

“But what about the other WNBA rookies, who don’t have eight-figure endorsement deals? The league’s commissioner believes this is the moment, riding Clark’s star power, to improve conditions for all of her players.” — Dan Rather

“What can we do? Buy tickets and jerseys if you can afford it. But most importantly, watch. These are incredible athletes who deserve our support.” — Dan Rather
