Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers are expected to create one of the WNBA's signature rivalries over the next decade. The two stars have also helped shape their organizations into championship contender.
With their next matchup on the horizon, many Clark fans are annoyed at what they believe is a clear marketing slight by the league, with a prominent sports media member calling out the league.
League TV partner Ion will broadcast the upcoming Fever vs Wings game, and released a promotional graphic that angered Travis for not including Clark. Travis said "The WNBA refusing to promote Caitlin Clark is impossible to explain. Imagine the NBA not using Jordan, Kobe, or LeBron when promoting their teams."
The graphic highlights the Wings' signature stars in Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale, while The Fever side of the graphic highlights reserve forward Lexie Hull and rookie guard Raven Johnson. Travis believes Clark's omission wasn't an accident.
Travis is sure to start another round of intense debates on both sides of the conversation. Many of Clark's fans continue to argue that the WNBA doesn't promote her as strongly as they should, and is only hurting their business.
