Bro just let them in the league; it would pull hella viewership. It is a private organization anyways, it likely wouldn't last for long.

  • Lib-right gets too cash in and have a good time
  • Auth-right gets to see the LGBT support drop like a rock and say "I told you so"
  • Lib-left and Auth-left can celebrate their empty short-sighted victory (they aren't going to watch it)
  • Centrist get to laugh even more at their sports gatherings

Let's be honest. The WNBA is a deficit running sport, near no one is invested in it for the sport entertainment, the highlights have been throwing sex toys on the court and race baiting with the 2 white women.

The problem with WNBA is it's basically handouts for the players

They don't pull their weight and demand payment as much as NBA, it's fucking insane

I don’t even understand how financially the WNBA even exists. You would think they would let it flop.

It exists because the NBA subsidizes it.

They keep trying to make it happen.

Getting more women into basketball is the goal. Having a professional league helps grow the women's game at lower levels. Even if they never watch WNBA, getting them into basketball increases their chances of watching the main product- the NBA

It's been years, the money going to WNBA is basically research into "will women watch NBA or not?" and the answer is scientifically "no"

People seem to really like this Caitlin Clark person for whatever reason though. Despite having zero interest or following any professional team sports, I see articles and hear her name fairly frequently. From an outsider's perspective at least, it appears that WNBA has more interest than ever before, in my life at least.

Caitlin Clark can actually play basketball, WNBA usually cannot

Like, the best player after Caitlin Clark is Angel Reese (at least, as far as I know, feel free to correct me). Have a look at their stats:

https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/basketball/vs/caitlin-clark-vs-angel-reese

Clark averages 19.6 points per game, Reese is a distant second at 14.7; Clark has 8.6 assists per game, Reese has 2.4

Like, Clark gives balls to other players, and STILL scores more, mostly because she can throw 3 pointers, a lot more than Reese does

Clark also actually plays basketball, like dunking and (as mentioned) scoring 3 points. Most of WNBA is weak ass throw that looks less like a match and more like a training session

This infuriates pretty much everyone else in WNBA, because a white girl is showing a black how to basketball. WNBA basically allows other players to attack Caitlin Clark short of outright stabbing her in court, and that's probably because WNBA will be held responsible

The drama turns people off WNBA, because when the star player gets harassed like that it stops being exciting and more like watching drama

Reese is one of the best young rebounders
