I really enjoyed everything said about the growth of the league and would just like to add that the idea that there was no toxicity in the W fanbase before Clark really gets me. Obviously a subset of her fanbase is absolutely crazy (the Barbz/Swifties is an apt comparison), but because these players are more online than I’d ever hope any professional athlete to be, they’ve literally been going back with fans long before Caitlin ever got to the league.
