Both leagues have seen a rise in popularity; however, one has done so in the right way.
On May 24, 2024, Caitlin Clark emerged victorious in her first WNBA win in Los Angeles. The global star then met and spoke with former soccer stars Tobin Heath and Christen Press. It seemed a proud moment for women's sports.
It, however, demonstrates issues with Clark's league, the WNBA. Heath and Press are both stars and pioneers in the world of women's soccer for the national team and the NWSL.
