It's almost as if ESPN is a company that has a vested interest in promoting the WNBA.


ESPN spends more every 2 seasons on college football than the entire WNBA contract, and I'd argue time value of money it's pretty damn close one season vs total contract.

Regular people are sick and tired of the dumbass pandering.

Those players are iconic within their own sport.

The WBNA isn’t an iconic league. All other sports make money and blow their viewership numbers away. It’s silly to try and justify this.

If we lived in a competitive market place this would have happend a long time ago.

ESPN went from an almost universally beloved and celebrated brand to an almost universally hated one, in about 10-15 years time.

ESPN doesn't survive based on providing a good product people like, they are propped up by Disney money allowing them to sign exclusive contracts with stuff people actually do like They have college football held hostage just as an example.

If some random can't recognize your picture, are you really an icon?
If they don't recognize your name, are you an icon?

Apathy led to our greater woke era the last 5 years, and all the problems in society linked to this embracing of fictional reality in culture and media.

People voted on this...

Slippery slope putting the blinders on and trying to act like everyone is just talking about bad basketball. We've seen how passive-acceptance appointed a Supreme Court justice who knew not what a woman is.

Hence why I said, Iconic within their own sport.
