The amount of wnba threads is pretty crazy
I would have loved it if Arena Football had gotten these threads way back when
I’ll say this, and this applies to not just WNBA, but NWSL is even weirder with the psy-op to make it a major sport on par with our other leagues, and PWHL is on the same path. The crowds you see there aren’t really there because it’s the best sports action. They’re there because they get “good person” points for it from their liberal peers. Everything for them is about optics.
And the leagues welcome the expansion of the fan base from lesbians to all liberals and progressives in general. Maybe getting half the country caring was more than they had before.

My points are clear lol
This wouldn’t be a thing if it was two white girls or two black girls.

What kills me about the NWSL is that my yahoo sports app will update me on what's happening in that league more than it will for the NFL. It's almost comical.

I'm sure there is some of that. Hell you get that at LSU football games the socialites who go there take pics to send out on social media and leave at or before halftime.

a $1 ticket is considered paid attendance. Teams get very creative when perception is the goal.

I had never watched one second of a WNBA game until Caitlin Clark showed up.
i don't understand how she could make someone start watching the WNBA. She made a lot of three's in college and that made you want to watch an awful product?

They hate her because she WHITE, popular and good simple as that.
Only thing I watch even remotely related to that league is when something pops up on youtube related to Sophie Cunningham yeah she is easy on the eyes and that don't hurt but mostly it is cause she is down to earth, doesn't take herself seriously and is funny as hell.

God damn you sure do rush to these threads to shill for the wnba. What’s the reason?
Weird liberal that’s anti anything Caitlin Clark?
Weird liberal that will do anything to support Angel Reese?
Insane lsu fan that will go down defending Angel Reese in all her suckery and dumbassery?
Dont care about any of those things. I just find it annoying when people make up lies to try to support their own views.
I posted a video of the sold out arena with every seat full in response to the guy saying they were corporate ticket sales and a fake sellout.
I pointed out the WNBA has made billions off caitlyn clark and every player in the league is making a higher salary (they raised the max) in response to the guys post about the wnba being too stupid to cash in on cc.
These things should not annoy/bother you, they are simply facts. If people quit making up easily refuted bullshite, there would be nothing to correct.

I don't think anything proves the growing popularity of the WNBA more than the possible deciding game of the finals starting at 11:30 on a weekday
Honesty, there is probably some logic behind it. Women are the target audience for the league. Women, although it has decreased greatly over the decades, are more likely than men to be unemployed/stay at home parents. The WNBA is essentially conceding it likely won't get a big audience at night when there are more viewing options. So why not try to get your product to the eyeballs of people who are more likely to become your target audience at a time where there is less competition?

Their previous tv deal wasnt worth a billion. The new one is over 2 billion. That is billions.
quote:
The NBA and WNBA reached an agreement with Disney, NBC and Amazon on a new round of TV deals worth $76 billion over 11 years, and the W will earn $2.2 billion over the life of the deal—or $200 million a year, according to someone familiar with the agreement—which represents a 6x gain compared to its prior ESPN deal.

You ever wonder why Simple Man starts playing every time you walk in a room?
Posted on 10/30/26 at 2:03 pm to RollTide1987
They actually tripled their percentage of the deal. They only recieved 1% of the last tv deal and will now get 3%. The NBA is dumb for making that deal when the WNBA viewers will drop off again in a few years.
Haha $2.2 billion dollars is billions. Dont start the insult game just because you were wrong.
