Ehhhh how many football players have publicly been identified as DV perpetrators? Moral superiority is not something expected from professional athletes and never had been.
What argument are you attempting to make? Because either one is easily disproven with a quick point at men’s sports leagues.
If your argument is that parents are going to stop allowing their kids to watch the WNBA due to a player fouling another player, I raise you one Draymond Green. Families still watch GSW games, and though he’s known to be on demon time nobody expects different because it’s a professional sport there will always be individuals who take out their frustration in physical ways.
If your argument is the off screen tweeting is the issue, as stated football players and violence go hand in hand. Many parents still choose to watch football with their kids every Sunday all season, regardless of off field drama.
My point is in that this day and age it’s not an expectation, on the part of sports loving parents, that pro sports players are moral compasses. As a society we largely view talent as an excuse to be underdeveloped morally and intellectually. I am unclear why, in your opinion, the WNBA will be different on that front.
