GIRL POWER: WNBA Brass Finds
Out They’re Losing $50 Million this Year and Caitlin Clark Accounts for
1/3 of Their Attendance Numbers – On Same Week They Tell Caitlin Clark
Fans to KISS OFF
by Jim Hoft1 Comment
GIRL POWER!
The WNBA brass found out this week they will lose another $50 million this year.
This is despite record crowds at their games and record TV viewership this year.
The WNBA,
which just tipped off its 28th season on May 14th, finished May with
its highest attended opening month in 26 years and its most-watched
start of season across each network ever: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, ION and
NBA TV. And across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS, WNBA games are averaging
1.32 million viewers, nearly tripling last season’s average (462,000
viewers).
The WNBA also found out that Caitlin Clark is responsible for a solid 33.5% of WNBA attendance at their games.
And Caitlin Clark has caused attendance figures to jump 87% when she plays in town.
Caitlin Clark is responsible for 10 of the top 10 attended games this year.
20,000 fans came out to see Caitlin Clark play in Washington DC on
Friday – more fans than were at the NBA playoff game on Friday night!
This also happens to be the same week WNBA brass told Caitlin Clark fans to kiss off and go away.
WNBA brass to Caitlin Clark fans: ‘We don’t need you. We don’t even want you.”
Over the weekend, the it was announced that women’s basketball
sensation Caitlin Clark would not be included on the US Women’s
Basketball team in the 2024 Olympics.
The greatest collegiate player in history, who broke nearly every
men’s and women’s basketball scoring and assist records while at the
University of Iowa, will not be on the team.
Pot-smoking Russian felon Brittney Griner, who had only played in one
game at the time of selection and scored 11 points this year, will be
on the team!
Diana Taurasi, who has played on six Olympic teams, made the 2024 squad at age 41. She’s needed.
But not the greatest female basketball sensation of all time, Caitlin Clark.
No player on the Olympic team has scored more 3-pointers this year in the WNBA than Caitlin Clark.
And only one woman on the Olympic team has more assists than Clark this WNBA Season.
They were not apologetic at all.
Thank goodness the NBA men are there to bail out these feckless idiots.
This is what I found so far. Someone asked and I thought I would find some info.
Oh how strange....
LOOK AT THE PHOTO below 2017-2018....and no c...o..v...i....d at that time

Report: Catholics in Mozambique Reveal Extent of Muslim Violence and Murders for Professing Their Christian Faith

Catholic parishioners in Mozambique recently shared their stories of
the violence and murders that have been perpetrated against them by
Muslims for daring to profess their Christian faith.
Catholics of Chipene in Nampulam, a province in northern Mozambique, told ACI Africa
they spoke with a delegation of the Episcopal Conference of Mozambique
(CEM) with disturbing details about how deadly the ongoing insurgency by
militant Islamists in the region is for Christians.
They shared details of the murder of Sr. Maria De Coppi,
an 84-year-old Italian Comboni missionary sister who served
malnourished and orphaned children there almost 60 years after she was
reportedly shot dead by insurgents who attacked the Comboni Mission of
Chipene in Mozambique’s Nacala Diocese.
After Sr. Maria’s murder, the terrorists then went on to vandalize
the church and set fire to the sisters‘ house and the priests’ house.
They then set fire to the house where Sr. Maria cared for orphaned and
malnourished children.
As insurgents passed through Nantaca, they asked Silvano Valentim
about his religion, to which he proudly affirmed his Christianity. He
was told by the terrorists to sit down, and he was beheaded, according
to the parishioners who spoke with ACI Africa.
When the Islamists moved to Tataulo, they forced locals to separate
into groups of men and women, as well as Muslims and Christians.
When the Islamists arrived in Tataulo, they asked the locals to
separate into groups of men and women, as well as Muslims and
Christians.
A parishioner recounted, “When the first three Christians bravely came forward, they were tied up and beheaded.”
“While they were killing the first, named Francisco Rimo,
baptized and married in the Church with nine children, they put the
book of the liturgy (Masu Apwiya) on his chest. The second, known as
Celestino Santos Mitupiya, was baptized, married in a church, father of
seven children, and a catechist, and had the Bible placed on his chest.
The third, named Silva António, was a catechumen and father of two
children, who were given the catechism of the third stage,” the
parishioners recounted.
ACI Africa reports:
Speaking with Bishops in Mozambique who visited that
parish that has been experiencing insurgency that started in neighboring
Cabo Delgado province in 2018, the parishioners who did not give their
names for security reasons said Christians in Mozambique have undergone
horrible persecution, and that those killed are the country’s martyrs.
******
“Since these men and others who we have previously mentioned were
killed in hatred of the faith, we believe that they are our martyrs who
did not refuse to bear witness to their faith and courageously gave
their lives,” read the statement that a parishioner read to the Bishops
who visited that Catholic community on June 2.
