Following Caitlin Clark's recent honor, winning Time's Athlete of the Year, controversy arose as WBNA owner felt the rookie phenom is undeserving.
Mystics Owner Sheila Johnson is causing lots of conversation in the media after voicing her opinion on the recent naming of WNBA Rookie Caitlin Clark as Time's Athlete of the Year.During Johnson's interview, the Mystics Owner shared her belief that the recent success of the WNBA isn't a result of one player, but it is a collective effort amongst the entire rookie class that came in earlier this year.
Lots of contributing factors could be the reason for the recent WNBA success in viewership including star power, increased streaming coverage and game accessibility, a long-term investment by Nike, and an all-around investment in the culture of women's sports.While these factors may be what Sheila Johnson was making reference to, it can't go without question what Clark has been able to do for the WNBA in just one season.
