That's what is shocking.
You actually think there is a star & fan impact comparison between Clark & Reese.
I watch Sky games here in Chicago. The Sky doesn't play at the United Center. They play at Wintrust to 65% attendance. 7k per game & they're one of the more financially successful franchises in the league.
The Fever plays in front of 18k every night. You know very well why.
And, Draymond Green every foible is on display on national TV every time he commits one. It's silly to say that it's no big deal. He does something dirty, and on ESPN it's discussed on Unsportsmanlike, Get Up, First Take, NBA Today, PTI, & Sportscenter for at least an entire day.
Your argument is specious.
