In a shocking turn of events, the Fever vs. Sky WNBA game drew a staggering 2.7 million viewers, which is roughly the same number of people who accidentally flipped to ESPN instead of the reruns of "The Price is Right." The reason for this sudden surge in viewership? The game was broadcast during a rare moment when the world's Netflix subscriptions simultaneously expired, forcing people to watch live sports out of desperation. The thrilling matchup between the Fever and the Sky was so captivating that viewers were unable to change the channel, even when the commercials included a 30-minute infomercial for exercise equipment.
The game's star player, Caitlin Clark, achieved a triple-double in the game, which is probably more impressive than the number of times the announcers mentioned her name during the broadcast. As for the Sky's Angel Reese, she scored enough points to win a free pizza from the local pizzeria, which was, coincidentally, offering a "WNBA Tuesday" deal that night. The popularity of the game has led to a sudden increase in sales of WNBA merchandise, mostly among people who still have those old VHS tapes of Michael Jordan's basketball games.
