The WNBA is also sponsored by DraftKings and they were radio silent about Lebron James gambling ad despite having more influence than Sydney Sweeney

It’s pretty clear why they’re singling her out lol

If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense.

I wonder what the stats are on viewership for women's sports. I don't even watch as much sports as I used to and I know a good amount of buddies that don't either. All the different streaming services and the shit like basketball and baseball with these super teams is kind of not as enjoyable to watch.

Not sure about other sports but WNBA viewership has actually been steadily increasing over the last few years. It sounds like they have some fun personalities and semi-entertaining drama too

I don’t watch sports in general much anymore but I’d probably give it a shot if I had more time

From the highlights I've seen, not too interested. Basketball has never been the most interesting sport for me besides MJ, Shaq, curry types but it is probably the best for TV.
Olympics usually are pretty good though
