re: Indiana Fever seem poorly coached. Hard to watch.

The WNBA is the worst run, most toxic sports league in the history of mankind.

Its NEVER turned a profit. In what capitalist country would it still be in business? Apparently we're not as capitalist as we think.. Or we pick and choose capitalism depending on societal agenda.

When I watch college or pro sports...especially when I PAY MONEY to watch college or pro sports...I want to be wowed. I want to see people do amazing things that I could never do, or that do it at a level way beyond what I could ever have done myself.

I've seen Martina Navratilova play tennis at Wimbledon. I can be entertained by watching Olympic (or even Alabama) gymnastics or swimming.

What puts thw WNBA behind the 8 ball is that millions of males who were good high school players are sitting out there saying "my high school team could have kicked their asses". And while, since they may be die hard Bama or LSU or Iowa fans, or whatever, they may occasionally support their school. But they'll never invest time or money in watching the WNBA.

I went with a friend to watch LSU at Vandy this year, because he had gotten tickets and invited me. The Vandy gym was less than half full, and the majority of those were LSU fans. There are boys high school basketball teams all over middle Tennessee that could beat Vandy's women. Why are they going to pay good money to go to a WNBA game? They won't.
