So did they award Griner with the biggest contract in WNBA history of $35k per year guaranteed with $15k of incentives?

It will be probably end when David Stern retires. For some reason, he's always having the NBA dump money into the WNBA. I don't know if he thinks it's a good investment or if he feels like its the "right thing to do".

The league has had enough time to catch on, it's long past hit its peak, and attendance shrinks every year.

Ratings last year were:

2012 WNBA Draft drew 189,000 viewers...which is a 0.2 rating...by comparison, the College World Series (which most people don't watch) gets a 1.0 rating.

The WNBA needs to be broadcast on PBS because it's clearly welfare programing deemed for "our public good."

But I thought according to ESPN Title IX has been a huge success and because of it we care about girls sports. I got news for you ESPN. The only people who give a damn about girls sports are lesbians and dads who wish they had a son.
