No one wants to see women dunk. You're right though about them being at a disadvantage, which makes WNBA basketball not as exciting to watch.
Can The WNBA Be Improved Financially? Is this what you wanted.

Bruh....professional sports is about casual fan entertainment....
The purist dont want to see dunks they like strategy and the sport itself.....
The purist doesnt drive the numbers and in all sports the purist will complain but when the smoke clears ...the purist will always be there.
The casual likes the fluff....the dunks the oops. In football the pretty passes. In baseball the home runs. In soccer they just want to yell goal. But there are more of them and they fund the league meaning the entertainment
But they market those players and sport? Black lesbians isn’t a huge draw.
Especially when they have more mixed and i Iowa’s case Lilly white teams to root for.
You’re right about the casual fan.
Bruh you can t make money in enterainment off of niche markets.
The money comes from the mainstream casual
So the NHL and NASCAR don't make money?
I ain't saying she's the best myself. But your initial post made it seem like it was crazy to suggest when the chic averages 32 a game. Its debatable if she's the best of all time but it ain't the craziest shit in the world is all i'm saying. She's dominating her sport.I did say that.
You're right, I did think that he said the best female basketball player ever so I was wrong.
Now that that's out of the way, she's not the best female college basketball player ever either
Cheryl Miller, Maya Moore...
My statement still stands. No one said that she was the greatest college player ever until she broke the record, and no one said Plum was the best player ever because she had the record.
Because she wasn't.
Now Caitlin is the greatest scorer in women's NCAA history and the greatest shooter.
But not the best player.
If Caitlin broke Plum's record maybe later maye it wouldn't be suggested. Plum set that record averaging 25 a game. Caitlin broke it averaging 32.
I agree, but if I was going with the best women's college player ever I'd probably side with Maya Moore.
Caitlin's the best scorer and shooter though.
So NASCAR isnt the same as the Country music crowd??????
And the NHL isn t worldwide mainstream?????
Oh Canada!!!!
Those aren't niche markets bruh
Those are still niche products
Nope 100% wrong. They re entertainment that is very mainstream.
They have a lot of casuals simply due to their size
Bull fuckin shit, they're niche sports that are popular with a certain demo.
Where's the Nascar topic on this board that gets traction?
I can see Maya Moore for sure. I've seen people say Cheryl Miller. Swoopes and Maya Moore for me are the two I remember just looking incredible.
Do you realize how big the country market is?
Some key facts: 1 in 3 U.S. adults, or 75 million people, and countless kids are NASCAR fans. Roughly 40% of fans are women. The sport has become the No. 1 spectator sport, and 17 of the top 20 most attended sporting events in the United States are NASCAR events.Feb 27, 2012
NASCAR's Back!
“Gentlemen, start your engines!” It’s been three months since the 2011 NASCAR season ended in November at Homestead Miami Speedway. That event crowned a new champion, Tony Stewart, to cap a nine-month season that launched at Daytona the previous February. But here we are once again launching...

What you re not seeing @Complex Is that what you are involved with is not as big as the white mainstream. BGOL thread? Please
Do you not realize that is a niche market in one area of the country?
100% not the case and its market is too large to be a niche market.
You got it bro, a niche market isn't redneck crackers in certain states
Man you really dont understand how big NASCAR is
Agreed
Too many damn dies
It's like a freak show watching some of them walk into the arena.
I haven't done any science experiments or scientific research
But it's like the less estrogen and more testosterone they have in women's basketball, then the better the players are.
I was just thinking this morning: what if they made pro basketball unisex?
Hockey in Canada is not niche market, it's literally life. Kids put those skates on at birth. Canadians all watch those NHL games.
Do we live in Canada muthafucka?
Its not about if WE live in Canada.....
Its bigger than you, people who are your cohort all of your likes and experiences....
Its about markets that are mainstream and as a result funded by even casual fans
They may never touch you or people with similar taste as you ..but still be mainstream.
What is this all about? I haven't been following the story because I think Clark is a one-trick pony and won't do anything close at the next level.
Caitlin Clark scoring record asterisk, explained: Why Lynette Woodard holds unofficial claim to scoring record | Sporting News
Clark is nearing the all-time scoring record. But there's still one unofficial mark that she will need to surpass after topping the NCAA record.
