Keep in mind that it’s not even her own fans that she’s lecturing. Griner’s team was on the road. Maybe WNBA figures should attempt being less unlikable

Because he's just not that good at basketball.

Honest question. Would you rather find a pair of WNBA playoff tickets on the ground or $5 cash?

That is why this game did not sell out.

But they aren't women...or men. They seem to be stuck in some genetic limbo.

arena could fit about 19,068 and about 10,396 people came to the game, according to ESPN. The Sparks’ average attendance is more than 5,600


So it was double the average and they’re complaining? It’s still just women’s basketball

Just looked this up. The average NBA attendance is 17,760 a game. The average WNBA attendance per game is 6,535.


About five years ago I heard an expert on terrorism give an interview on NPR, believe it or not. He argued the KKK was insignificant and irrelevant bc the total membership of the KKK was less than the average attendance at a WNBA game.

I think it’s inevitable that they be huge and butch and unattractive so they’ll never be especially likable

It didn’t sellout because it’s the WNBA and people are still rightfully pissed that we gave up a fricking arms dealer.

Don’t post this on the Rant. All of a sudden those LSU fans love layups.

I think BG might be one of those women with internal men's gonads. You ever heard her speak? Her voice is lower than a lot of men's voices. No way she's sporting more estrogen than testosterone. If they don't do blood tests for that sort of thing, they should. Oh, wait, I forgot that men can now play in any woman's sport they want to.

Wasn’t there one game in the tournament that was absolutely abysmal from a skill standpoint from lsu and the other team, and everyone called it out?

I think even lsu fans admit it’s a lesser product. But of course you’re happy when a team in any sport wins a title for your school.

It’s less that and more so people are pissed because some of the players have spoken out about how much America sucks. So yea frick you and your “triumphant return” to the country you absolutely hate.

It's like throwing tennis balls to a three year old. They aren't really that good at it.

She spoke out against our country, is a domestic abuser, and we traded an arms dealer. So, yeah, she's not real popular.
