re: WNBA Star Speaks Out: "I was bullied for being straight."

I once saw a poll.

Would you rather find $5 on the street or have your local WNBA team win a championship.

Finding $5 on the street was north of 90 percent.

Its by far ESPN's biggest loser. They paid $25 million for broadcasting rights. Less than 200k people watched the WNBA Playoffs.

The Dallas Wings have won three WNBA titles, but are trying out their third city because they can't draw. It also doesn't;t help that rookie salaries are under $40k. The highest paid player is at $111k. If these women got college degrees when they were playing in the NCAA, they should be able to make more working a normal job.
