0:00

Do you hear that loud aggressive

0:02

knocking? Initially, I thought it was

0:05

the IRS knocking on Uncle Casey's front

0:08

door with a reminder that my tax bill

0:10

will soon be used to fund important

0:13

climate change research in Ethiopia. But

0:16

as it turns out, the knocking is not

0:19

coming from the IRS. It is reality

0:22

knocking on the door of the WNBA dump.

0:26

Headline at Bro Bible. Indiana feline

0:30

struggling to sell out season opener.

0:38

Um

0:40

what

0:43

the felines are struggling to sell

0:47

tickets.

0:48

Not only are they struggling to sell

0:50

tickets to the season opener against the

0:53

Dallas Winkers, I am seeing reports on

0:56

Twitter that the Indiana Felions are

0:58

struggling to sell season tickets. Last

1:01

year, their season tickets sold out in

1:04

less than an hour. This year, a week or

1:07

so before the preseason begins, only 70%

1:12

of the season tickets have been sold for

1:14

the Indiana Felines.

1:20

I wonder why.

1:24

This has got to be a terrifying reality

1:27

for the diva of Dump Divas, Cat Engel,

1:30

the woman responsible for committing

1:32

millions of dollars to players in a

1:34

league that struggles to generate

1:36

thousands of pesos. I know I keep coming

1:40

back to this same point, but there seems

1:43

to be a serious misunderstanding in the

1:46

WNBA when it comes to understanding

1:49

value. It is easier to sell out games

1:53

when tickets are selling for $20. Well,

1:58

it's easier for most teams to sell out

2:01

with cheap tickets. The Las Vegas

2:03

Anonymous Faces, who just committed over

2:05

$5 million to AJ Wilson, they couldn't

2:09

sell out the WNBA finals last year with

2:12

tickets selling for less than $40.

2:15

Going into this season, there has been a

2:18

drastic increase in ticket prices in the

2:21

WNBA.

2:23

Well, Uncle KC, this is just good

2:25

business. They are capitalizing on their

2:28

momentum. This league of unknowns is now

2:31

filled with huge

2:34

stars.

2:44

Um,

2:46

if the WNBA is capitalizing on momentum,

2:50

if prices are increasing due to market

2:54

demand, then why in the hell are they

2:57

struggling to sell tickets? The first

2:59

two games of this season with Caitlyn

3:01

Clark and the Indiana Fever, one game at

3:04

home, the other on the road against the

3:06

LA Sparkles. Tickets for both games are

3:10

starting at $100. Decent seats, 11 rows

3:14

from the court. The WNBA is asking $900

3:19

per ticket.

3:24

For that price, you can get better seats

3:27

for the NBA playoffs. The WNBA is

3:31

charging more for a regular season game

3:34

than the NBA is charging for the first

3:36

round of the playoffs. AND THEY wonder

3:39

why no one is willing to pay for this

3:42

turd.

3:45

Now, in the WNBA's defense, they have to

3:48

charge more for tickets this season

3:50

because they have got to generate the

3:52

revenue to pay for these exorbitant

3:54

salaries. With the average WNBA player

3:58

making $600,000,

4:00

payroll in the dump has increased to

4:03

almost $und00 million a season. Last

4:06

year, payroll for players was less than

4:09

$20 million. The money has got to come

4:12

from somewhere. and the WNBA is hoping

4:16

that it comes from you. Unfortunately

4:19

for the WNBA, I don't think pricing is

4:22

their only problem. Like I told you guys

4:26

last summer and throughout the

4:27

negotiations for a new collective

4:29

bargaining agreement that could

4:31

potentially bankrupt the league, I think

4:34

one of the reasons that the WNBA was so

4:36

hesitant to vastly overpay players,

4:40

mainstream interest in the WNBA seems to

4:43

be on the decline. The question is how

4:47

far will it fall?

4:57

So when I get to the sponsor for today's

4:59

video, my good friends at Sugar Mountain

5:00

Trading. Uncle called me around

5:03

Thanksgiving. He's a military veteran.

5:05

Served in the Gulf War in the early 90s,

5:07

but as he's gotten older, been dealing

5:09

with various health related issues.

5:11

Doctors had him on pain management. Had

5:13

him taking all this medication just to

5:15

get him to sleep at night, most of which

5:17

wasn't working. Once the meds wore off,

5:19

he was tossing and turning all night.

5:21

Plus,

5:23

he was building up a tolerance to it. My

5:25

aunt bought him some CBD lotion from

5:27

Sugar Mountain Trading. Wanted him to

5:29

try it out just to see if it would work.

5:31

My uncle applies the CBD lotion every

5:34

night before he goes to bed. He is

5:36

getting the best sleep that he has

5:37

gotten in years. Doesn't even take the

5:39

pain medication anymore because he

5:42

doesn't need it. Over the holidays, one

5:44

of my longtime viewers reached out to me

5:46

telling me how the CBD lotion from Sugar

5:48

Mountain Trading alleviated his back

5:50

pain. He had been dealing with back pain

5:52

for years. Couldn't find anything that

5:54

would work. Bought a bottle of CBD

5:56

lotion from Sugar Mountain. 20 or so

5:59

minutes later, back pain gone. I have

6:02

got countless stories from viewers,

6:04

friends, family. Everyone tells me the

6:07

same thing. They cannot believe this

6:10

stuff actually works. Hell, there's a

6:13

reason Sugar Mountain Trading's been

6:15

6:17

months now. My audience keeps buying

6:20

6:43

Some are claiming that the Indiana

6:45

Felines are struggling to sell tickets

6:47

because they drafted point guard Raven

6:50

Johnson in the first round of this

6:51

year's draft. The pick was controversial

6:55

because Caitlyn Clark and Raven Johnson

6:57

have a tense history with each other.

6:59

Plus, they play the same position.

7:02

Unsurprisingly,

7:04

the media is already claiming that

7:06

Caitlyn Clark fans are racist and the

7:09

damn season hasn't even started yet.

7:12

Part of the reason Caitlyn Clark fans

7:14

are once again being accused of mythical

7:17

racism, Raven Johnson claimed to be the

7:20

victim of fake racism when she was

7:23

playing against Caitlyn Clark in

7:25

college. with Raven Johnson playing five

7:28

years under Dawn Staley at South

7:30

Carolina. I wonder who could have taught

7:35

her to take advantage of fake racism.

7:43

Jason Whitlock explained the situation

7:46

last week. Watch it for yourself.

7:48

>> Went and drafted a 5 foot9 point guard

7:51

who can't shoot. She was just on camera

7:55

and she was saying how after Caitlyn

7:58

Clark waved her off because she couldn't

8:01

shoot the ball when Iowa upset an at

8:03

that time undefeated South Carolina

8:05

team. She talked about how she was

8:07

bullied and she faced all types of

8:10

racism and she painted it as if Caitlyn

8:13

Clark fans were being racist toward her.

8:16

You go and draft that same player,

8:19

everybody involved should be fired. Now,

8:21

could this be causing some people not to

8:24

buy tickets?

8:28

Maybe. But drafting some unknown guard

8:32

who can't shoot, that's not going to

8:34

stop most people from supporting Caitlyn

8:37

Clark in the Indiana Fever. Hell, most

8:39

players in this league can't shoot. I

8:43

think the decline that we are seeing

8:45

with the most popular team in the

8:47

league, I think this is more of a

8:50

natural decline. due to declining

8:52

interest. Listen, I could be 100% wrong

8:56

about this. I am basing this strictly on

8:59

what I see and what I experienced last

9:02

year. To be fair to the WNBA. This could

9:06

change, but I just have this sense that

9:10

the WNBA isn't generating the same level

9:13

of mainstream interest. Last weekend,

9:17

Wrestlemania 42 failed to sell out in

9:20

Las Vegas compared to Wrestlemania 41

9:23

last year. 20,000 people decided that

9:26

Wrestlemania 42 wasn't worth the trip,

9:29

wasn't worth the money. Now, some are

9:31

blaming the fact that the event was held
