Because you’re not playing at a high level. Good boys high school teams would destroy WNBA teams.

Arguably more interesting. Watching guys blast 140mph serves past one another gets boring after awhile.

If her argument is true, then why isn’t this league the most successful women’s league in the world?

I'd be curious as to the attendance, on a percentage basis, figures with regards to MLB and / or the NFL / NBA. MLB is basically a straight, white male players dominated sport. Whereas both the NBA & NFL are over 90% straight black males. Yet which league trails the other 2 in attendance? Product does matter, obviously. Take away the 100% subsidized - by - the - NBA women's league & the league does not exist. Because of racism & homophobic detest of gays or product?

In terms of comparisons to the men’s version of the sport, women’s tennis and basketball are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

basketball is the most different sport when played by women instead of men. The size and athleticism difference between men and women make it a completely different game.

Women’s Tennis, on the other hand, is just as enjoyable as men’s tennis, as the quality and style of play is very similar (or at least to the common fan).


Agree.

WBB is notorious for players dribbling the ball off their foot and missing layups. Most players can't dunk.

Soccer is more like tennis - the fundamentals are good. The players are just smaller and slower (so are the opponents). A diehard fan might notice the difference but the casual fan would have to see them side by side.

It's boring. That simple. No other conversation needs to be had.

If it makes the WNBA players feel better, even less people watch the women’s professional soccer league than watch WNBA. People only watch the women’s national team during the World Cup to cheer on the USA. But just like 95% of Olympic sports, people only care about it once every 4 years

The joke used to be “would you rather receive $5 or have your city’s WNBA team win a championship?”
The answer was always “I’ll take 5 dollars!”

Then it became “would you rather receive a shiny nickel or have your city’s WNBA team win a championship?”
The answer was always “the nickel doesn’t have to be shiny!!”


Now it’s “would you rather have the league completely fold and never have to hear about it again or have your city’s WNBA team win a championship?”

obvious answer is obvious

Obvious tax right off for the Chinese run parent company is obvious.

And to be blunt it's the demographic of who's playing. Women's soccer players generally are cute little White girls while WNBA players, we are all shapes and sizes ... a lot of Black, gay, tall women ... there is maybe an intimidation factor


If we are going to make this about looks...then it’s not because these women are black or gay, it’s because they’re unattractive.

This is so dumb. Where’s the love for the best women football players? Where’s the love for the best Mongolian golfers?

You are stupid for letting Dana White convince you it is anything more than a stupid side show.

He held the opinion that it was garbage, until he decided it could be profitable.

Kudos to him, but I prefer WSHH for my bitch fights.

I have many AA neighbors up and down my street. I know for a fact, that only 1 of the four guys watches the WNBA..even the littlest bit.

All watch Football, college and pro. Only two of the four watch NBA. None watch MLB(Im sure Golf, Tennis, Nascar,etc..too?)

But, sure Sue Byrd, blame it on whitey.

There's also no hook to get me interested.

The Pelicans are the local team. There is no WNBA team nearby. Same reason I don't follow Premier League or MLS.

They could all look like Victoria's Secret models and I still wouldn't care. Typical behavior nowadays. If you're not achieving the level of success or prosperity you want, just blame some -ism or -phobia. Pathetic.
