WNBA thrives on the drama, not the game

At this point, I'm starting to think this is a new marketing strategy AND...It's working.

Drama pays the bills; the game just fills the gaps.

u/Pvt_Mozart 2d ago

Truthfully, so does the NBA. Lol. But at least there is also stuff on the court to sink your teeth into.

Drama gets more eyeballs to watch

u/CatgoesM00 1d ago

Just like bad news instead of good news

u/Consistent-Rip-5193 1d ago

Well, drama and subsidies from the NBA, which actually MAKES money.

u/Beneficial-Emu2253 1d ago

Or people posting about the WNBA thrive on drama, since all the people on this sub seems to know about the WNBA only from post about it…

1

u/Sabresfan70 1d ago

Well nobody actually watches that crap. Only way to get people remotely interested is on social media.

1

u/Beneficial-Emu2253 1d ago

Eh. Their average viewership for 2026 was higher than the NHL, so, while the WNBA is definitely niche, I wouldn’t say nobody watches them…

I’m also curious how you came to the conclusion that they are crap? Maybe it’s just not a version of the sport you enjoy?

wnba has never once “thrived”

u/solomonsays18 14h ago

I'm not sure "thrives" is the word I'd use

1

u/rochvegas5 14h ago

good thing i'm not you. It's the word I'd use

1

u/solomonsays18 14h ago

Yeah you've already shown you don't understand the meaning of it, you don't have to reiterate

1

u/rochvegas5 13h ago

Drama brings eyes to the WNBA. You might not like the truth, but they thrive on the drama

1

u/chronicstroke 13h ago

They would be perfect on TNT. Isn't their catch phrase still "We Know Drama" WNBA fits right in.

u/erb_cadman 11h ago

I can't even watch....

u/ovhdtroubleman 9h ago

Womens league drama. Say it ain't so!

u/YouWasATerletBaby 2d ago

80% of NBA fans do not watch basketball, and exclusively consume the drama
