In recent years, WNBA viewership has grown. This is due in large part to Caitlin Clark, a point guard for the Indiana Fever. Clark was a standout player for the Iowa Hawkeyes in college. Her popularity has helped the league. Controversy and fighting have also helped keep the WNBA in the spotlight. But far more important than positive headlines or ratings is standing up for what’s right.
