July 25, 20241 yr WNBA merchandise sales are up 500% this season, the Sports Business Journal reported earlier this week, and its rookie stars are fueling a record pace. Clark (No. 1) and Reese (No. 2) have the league’s top-two selling jerseys this year, part of a 1,000% increase in player-specific merchandise sales, according to Fanatics. The WNBA recently agreed to a record-$2.2 billion television contract that the head of the WNBA players union said might have undervalued the league’s worth at the moment. ESPN will pay the WNBA $200 million annually for the next 11 years, as compared to about $30 million per year during the current deal. https://sports.yahoo.com/rookies-caitlin-clark-angel-reese-175154505.html Edited July 25, 20241 yr by caulfield12
