Angel Reese’s debut was not televised, but user X streamed the game live for fans

The Chicago Sky’s first game of the WNBA season began with rookies chosen on this yr’s draft, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. However, the league did not televise its skilled debuts, which caused confusion and disappointment.

People wonder why – especially in the case of Reese’s college rival, Caitlin Clark (now playing for the Indiana Fever), who happens to be white, shown on TV. According to the Associated Press, the Sky match was listed as available for viewing.

But someone on X, the platform formerly often called Twitter, did their part to make sure that fans who did not have access to the game could see Reese and Cardoso’s debuts. User X, @heyheyitsalli wrote: “Would you want me to try broadcasting the game here? I do not promise quality, but I can try.

With this message, she not only gained the respect of users, but was in a position to fulfill many users’ dreams of watching the Chicago Sky season opener.

The numbers were amazing – over 615,800 viewers watched the broadcast. Alli shared a screenshot of her 173,381 live viewers at the time of posting the news.

When asked about Alli’s performance, Lnyx coach Cheryl Reeve said she deserved “three dollars” per viewer.

“Anyone who watched this could send that person three dollars. I do not even know who that’s,” Reeve said. I suppose I’d say the growth is going on in a short time. It’s so sped up. I’ve been saying this repeatedly in our own organization – business as usual will now not work.

The Sky lost to the Minnesota Lynx 92-81. Reese scored 13 points and nine rebounds in 24 minutes, while Cardoso scored six points and grabbed 4 rebounds in 13 minutes.
