Twenty million people watched Caitlin Clark play college basketball. Then she entered the most niche fandom in professional sports and brought all of them with her.

What followed wasn't just a culture war. It was thirty years of unresolved institutional problems surfacing under the brightest spotlight women's sports had ever seen. This video is about those problems, where they came from, and why the league that should have benefited most from Clark's arrival kept getting in its own way.

I talked to Seerat Sohi, host of The Ringer WNBA Show, for the most honest and incisive conversation about this league I've encountered. Her answer go train to my first question about the state of the WNBA is something you need to hear.
