3. What do the Pacers have to do with this?

The Fever have played in the same venue as the Pacers for their entire dime (26 years). They didn't need to change venues when Clark came along. It is the OTHER teams that switched their Fever games to bigger arenas.

None of this change would be happening today without Clark. That's a fact. It didn't happen for 25 years with all sorts of talented players. Clark was treated by the media as a phenom. You can certainly argue that it wasn't fair or justified. But you can't deny that is exactly what happened.

And there was enormous jealousy from other players who thought they should get the same attention. And maybe they were right, but it doesn't matter. The world runs on hype, not on logic. This Clark hype is giving about 200 women a big, big pay increase. They should at least thank the lady rather than trying to put her in the hospital every game.
