With a background that includes co-hosting ESPN\u2019s SportsCenter and writing for The Atlantic, Hill has carved out a niche as\u00a0someone who tackles tough issues, especially when it comes to race and sports. Now, she\u2019s speaking out about the media\u2019s coverage of\u00a0WNBA\u00a0playoff ratings, and her stance is causing some waves.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Hill recently took to X to express her frustration over headlines suggesting the WNBA playoff ratings\u00a0have dropped significantly since Caitlin Clark\u2019s elimination. She called it \u201cirresponsible\u201d for journalists to claim that Clark\u2019s absence is the main reason for the ratings decline. \u201cWould the ratings be higher if she were in it? Of course,\u201d Hill tweeted. \u201cBut guess what, a Finals would rate higher if it were LeBron vs. Steph. Or, if big market teams were in the mix. So what?\u201c<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">The comparison Hill makes to the NBA is interesting,\u00a0but not everyone agrees that it holds up.\u00a0Caitlin Clark\u2019s impact on WNBA viewership has been undeniable this season. Games featuring Clark have consistently drawn significantly higher ratings.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">For example, games she played in this season\u00a0averaged 1.178 million viewers, while games without her brought in just 394,000 viewers. That\u2019s a staggering difference of 199%. To put it in perspective, no single player in American team sports-not LeBron James, Steph Curry, or even Patrick Mahomes-can claim such an impact on their league\u2019s viewership.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1841859690684416083&amp;lang=es&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marca.com%2Fen%2Fbasketball%2Fwnba%2F2024%2F10%2F04%2F67002999e2704ea20a8b4579.html&amp;sessionId=e66c26ac0df24ce1add0071b5b625bec68d34412&amp;siteScreenName=MarcainEnglish&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1841859690684416083\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Clark\u2019s playoff exit blamed for WNBA ratings drop<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">A prime example of Clark\u2019s draw was evident when the ratings for a recent Aces-Liberty game, which was a championship rematch,\u00a0were down nearly 50% compared to Clark\u2019s playoff debut just a week earlier. Clark is a unique figure in the WNBA, and the numbers back that up.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Hill\u2019s criticism seems to be less about the facts and more about the way the media is framing the conversation. She\u2019s concerned that focusing too much on Clark\u2019s absence overlooks the bigger picture of the WNBA\u2019s growth. However, it\u2019s also true that journalists\u00a0report on stories people care about, and right now, Caitlin Clark\u2019s effect on WNBA ratings is a hot topic.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Jemele Hill has always been one to challenge the status quo, and whether you agree with her take or not, it\u2019s clear she\u2019s not afraid to speak her mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Dijonai Carrington has Emotional Reaction to $10 WNBA Playoff Tickets! . .
