Why aren't Black men watching? (and no one is watching)

Of course Bird won't answer that.

It would help

The real difference is Women’s soccer is still soccer. They’re not as fast but it all sorta balances out.

Women’s basketball is almost a completely different game than men’s.

Without dunking and just isn’t as exciting.
Pure athleticism is maybe 60% of the draw of the NBA.

Women’s basketball is just not fun to watch vs men’s.

Maybe she should take a hard look at why large numbers of black guys reject black women as mates for cute white girls.

Maybe that's the hard question she should be asking.

Two minority groups, who tend to give straight white people the finger. No wonder they aren't watching.

Other than the one on the top left, and maybe No. 11, who's cute?

Did you actually mean to ignore Alex Morgan in the dead center?

Julie Ertz could get it for sure. While not super hot, I kinda like O’Hara too.

Cute doesn't mean fine or hot. Most females I know hate when someone describes them as cute. This is the definition of cute.

attractive or pretty especially in a childish, youthful, or delicate way

The girl in the middle doesn't look cute by this definition.

I don't doubt your definition, but I'd almost bet the house Bird was referring to Alex when she made that statement.

I’d pay to watch two hours of ugly lesbians make layups.

The WNBA doesn’t even offer that.

Or, could it be that as far as entertainment value goes, you offer less than an average high school JV basketball team. We know that the soccer broads couldn’t even beat an U16 boys soccer team in Dallas.

Who the f*ck wants to watch that sh!t? it’s garbage.

On the other hand, if you put some cute girls in lingerie and let them jiggle up and down the court, I’ll watch. But just like I don’t watch you for your basketball skills, I won’t be watching them for their basketball skills.

In short, everybody in your league sucks and would have a hard time making an average boys high school basketball team. THAT is why no one watches y'all.

In fairness they're dirty and sweaty in that pic. That picture doesn't do Julie Ertz justice.

Then they need to do like the Boston Celtics did in the '80's and each get them a Danny Ainge

Wonder why they don't move the WNBA to China or the Middle East.
They can leave the prejudice behind.
