This is the definition of the American Woman.

They get twice the average in attendance to a game and still complain.

Can an American Woman ever be happy?

Based on the news I see, you would think the trans/lgbtq WNBA crowd would sell out every game. Turns out, it’s not.

Okay thanks Mr Sunshine. Anyone who expected it to be packed on the opening weekend during the time people have a lot of other shite going on didn't put much thought into it. Women's basketball is actually slowly picking up in popularity. I don't pay attention to the WNBA and only really follow LSU in WCBB (I know what teams are good and not, but don't watch beyond LSU), but it is very slowly gaining popularity.

Thought the same thing. How could you not love the player who refused to stand for the National Anthem until she got sentenced to a prison camp for bringing a little weed into (or out of?) an enemy dictatorship then traded for a dangerous war criminal.

After the White House selling out for “BG” I can understand the coach asking that question.

Just saw an interview with “her” on the local news.

Ever heard it speak? That’s a man, baby.

After 27 years, it's just now starting to gain traction? Talk about late bloomers.

Who wants to go see a person who disrespects our National Anthem?

about 10,396 people came to the game,
Like just about the rest of the world population, I don’t keep up with the WNBA, but that’s 2-3x more than I would have guessed. Do they regularly get 10k at games?
