You gotta look at the wording, 25 national broadcasts and 52 possible games I remember going to ESPN app and the games would be on ESPN3, the CBSSPORTS app, TUBI, at one time some of their games were on LIFETIME. I do remember some of the playoffs being on ABC/ESPN but there's no way 50+ WNBA games were nationally televised last year
It is not she is not shaped like that
You are correct. They had many games televised nationally but not that big of a number.
The big problem with viewership (as you eluded to) was that the "broadcasts" were scattered all over the place. You never know where it will be streamed. Not to mention some games were on the WNBA app exclusively.
I like that the networks have stepped up to give it more coverage. This will definitely help the league expand. If a big matchup mid-season arises don't stream that shit on Twitter. They should have the flexibility to put on ABC/ESPN for all to see.

I'm sitting here mad that I missed the WNBA draft and checking the schedule to see when the season starts with eager anticipation.
I'm actually looking forward to watching this season
Ain't that bout a bitch?! who woulda thunk it?
This year should set some viewership records and hopefully propels the league on an upward trajectory
lol son said the bitch look like Frankenberry

If she was shaped like that the ratings for her games would be even higher than LeBron's .
caitlin's a generational talent that the wnba can market to death. i've been critical of the wnba over the years cause they haven't marketed these women being women. but over the past 2 years it has gotten a lot better. she ain't the prettiest but best believe she'll get better....lol.
NBA players are the biggest supporters of the WNBA and it isn’t even close. Have to serve as hypemen and have to give away millions annually to subsidize that league.
WNBA Draft Reaches Largest Audience Ever, Up 374% Among Women
The WNBA draft drew 2.45M viewers on Monday, the largest audience ever for the event

Im kinda confused about the outrage on the salary front.
76K is more than most make in this country, and more than nearly everybody makes in Europe. All of that for a sport nobody really cares about and in an industry that has never proved to be profitable? Its a good deal.

I see where you are coming from and someone mentioned they are still making more than the avg college graduate.
On the flip side, I’ve seen where people say it’s a year long job and they have to do media appearances, the training, traveling, and etc.
I think when that new tv deal gets done and more brands come on board to start pumping endorsement dollars we might see it become more profitable.

Arent MOST jobs year long?
I mean, outside of teachers(Who takes decades to reach 76k in most of this country) the expectation for a job is you to work all year.
They are banking hard on the WNBA this season, when the last time a WNBA draft got this much hype even sold-out. They're praying the great white hope brings the league back to 96 when everyone was actually watching it. June 1st is the only game I'm waiting to see Chicago vs Indiana.
Folks just want to gamble.
Crazy Aja got the Aces to play one of their preseason games at the University of South Carolina
Let's keep it a stack. They truly only "work" for 4 months. Thats how long the WNBA season is. The appearances and things they do after the season is minimal. Plus, it's mostly paid gigs that help their pockets.
If you ask anyone in America, "what do you think about working 4 months and being paid $76k?," no one is going to tell you, "that's a shitty job. I wont take it."
People are stuck comparing WNBA salary's to NBA salary's and it's unfair to do so. They are completely different leagues with different revenue streams.

White women and sports, a perfect combination.
They also had shit deals.. Twitter, ION and Lifetime.... Stop catering to women channels and put the games on Sport Networks....
If they gonna have NBA in the name use the same networks... ESPN/ABC, NBATV and TNT...
Keep Thursday as the weekly NBA / WNBA Headliner game with a women's Inside the WNBA... With Taylor Rooks hosting...
