No one knew when this shit aired what channel it was on what part of the yr was their season going.. their promotion and info sucked on just informing the basics.. nigs would’ve streamed, watched on tv, etc if they knew the basics..hell even watched YouTube highlights
I'll agree that their marketing was ass but youtube highlight clips are there is easy to see and dudes STILL largely ignore it. My point all the things dudes claim they want to see is there..shit when it first started out it was on MTV2 if there was opportunity to build support it was when it was on basic cable and satellite and dudes MOCKED it... I made a couple of threads promoting it and cats was all :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2:

Ya'll just need to be honest with yourselves and say that with the exception of a few sports...MOST sports you really don't care to see females do and have no interest in no matter how hard or well they play.

Niggas just need to say that instead of all the excuses. :smh: The reality is even if they did play above the rim and start dunking like men...it STILL wouldn't move the needle. :smh::smh:

You mean why do we bother giving our opinions and 2cents on the train wreck a.k.a. as the WNBA? Because this is the fucking internet and this is what people do. Everybody can get it, especially if you put yourself out there and say some of the dumb things some of those WNBA women are saying.
Also, it's a knock on the gay community who on one hand say things like there is no gender, but then turns around and names their league the WNBA while banning all men from playing in it.
Funny the NBA isn't called the MNBA nor is there any rules forbidding women to play in it, so in actuality going by the standards created by the LGBLT on rye community, which basketball league is all-inclusive, and which league who is the one using gender to filter out would-be players?
If you still cannot connect the dots, I am calling them dykes bullshitters, and their whole thought process flawed, so don't shoot the messenger, especially if my message is correct!
It ain't that deep to me. Too much shit I want to know and find on the internet.

Personally, I ignore the noise and that usually includes whatever issues gay folk express on the internet.

If arguing and getting triggered about manly dykes is your thing... have at it

Revenue isn't the same as profit

Again, you dont know what you are talking about. The league as a whole ensures that no team loses money by having revenue sharing. Thats just with NFL money. The teams individually also have their own local tv deals, sponsorship deals, tickets, merchandise... The league also decides what the salary cap is so its never too much for any team.

If the league depended on some random nig on a porn message board to do their promoting than they were doomed from the start


once again promotion is everything..no one knew when this shit came on or literally didn’t have enough hilights to drum up an audience.. Twitter, ig be having all kinda random sports clip that people get on their feeds obviously the people who were head of their promotion did a shitty job getting those clips out there to the masses.. outside of this board I’ve seen no nig show me clips..trust with all that ass some nigs would’ve been sharing or showing it off to his boys..like yo did you see the fat asses on these broads..nigs are pervs and the perv community would’ve made that shit well known.. it simply goes back to their marketing team sucked

Can I bet on wnba on draftkings?

I can bet on mlb, nfl, nba, soccer, nhl, etc

my interest in baseball literally was rekindle this yr cause of draftkings..I literally bet on baseball every single day thanks to draftkings and me making money off of it.. like I said the sports bettors would probably show more interest in that sport if they knew they could make money off of it.. have you ever heard any grown man bet on a wnba game? If not there goes 1 of their biggest problems

I think it's the fact that WNBA players and at least some in the media keep getting on camera and in print talking about how the players don't make enough and should be paid more on par with NBA players.

If they'd stop with that stuff or at least be honest about the reasons and realistic possible solutions, there wouldn't be as much attention and posts.


Just curious as to why there are multiple posts about a sport supposedly no one wants to see. Either watch it or don't.

For the rest, why do y'all care if it's making money or not? It ain't taking money out of y'all pockets, nor is it affecting the NBA product as far as I'm aware.

So what's the issue?

If some homegirls found some way to make any money playing a sport they love more power to them.

...but I don't remember minor league players asking why they aren't making MLB type money. They were talking about literally not making enough money to eat and pay rent (several dudes sharing apartments) if I recall correctly from Real Sports on HBO (or some other show). The minor league money had players making less than minumum wage... and the minor leagues are actually feeders for MLB. I think those salaries have improved a bit since the HBO episode... but still not big money. WNBA players are complaining about making 120K (average WNBA salary).



Now if the women are just wanting a fair share of any profits and the team owners are crying about losing money BUT not opening their books up during negotiations.... that's a problem I can get behind the players on. Owners certainly should be forced to put the actual numbers out there so players can at least ask for realistic pay raises or players can be forced to confront the potential fact that there's not even enough money being made for those types of raises.




For context, there's been a lot complaints about the lack of pay for minor league baseball players. A lot the arguments about their lack of pay are similar to what you hear from the WNBA.

You make a good point. The Somerset Patriots play in my area and many of those dudes had other jobs. Damn shame.

Starting with a marketable product helps...

What’s not marketable?

They play good basketball but the masses aren’t interested, there’s not much they can do about that.

Soccer’s the biggest sport in the world, what can leagues do to make it the most popular sport in the United States?

If you're not interested in women playing basketball just say so and don't make excuses.
It's already implied jack
No excuses necessary.
But just to make you feel as if though you've pried some deep dark secret out of me.... " Im not interested in women playing basketball"... You caught me.

No one wants to see a bunch of butches run around and miss baskets. Hell, it's obvious by the attendance records that butches don't want to see it either. :dunno:

I would pay money to see fine women ball in lingerie or 'modified' uniforms... Level of skill is just an added bonus.

I'd buy beer at the stadium and pay for a lap dance in the bleachers.

The time would be "the best I ever had..."

You showed men dunking on a fast break, I showed you women dunking on a fast break. If that's what was holding you back then seeing that should've had you buying season tickets.

I don't care if you like women's basketball. Just be honest and say that you don't like it instead of making simple and basic statements that aren't relevant to the conversation.

Seeing 6'8" women dunking weaker than 6'0" dudes isn't really gonna do it. I would think that they can play below the rim and be watchable and viable....but they need to lower their expectations. It's too late to change it now, but when the league started, they tied it to the NBA in a way that had people thinking it was gonna be on par with the NBA.

Who knows, one day they may grow into something better than what it is now.

Dummy.... Compare the 2 fast breaks and there you have the reason I, and the large majority of people don't care for the WNBA(relavence) ... Simple minded mother fuckers need everything typed out for them word for word.

I don't seek them out, but I watch them WHENEVER they pop up in my feed. I actually get surprised by how serious they play sometimes. I really expected 'wrestling-style' bullshit, but I did see some aggressive playing take place... I came for the titty/ass and stayed for the ... well ... the titty/ass.

If they were promoted more I'd probably watch enough to care about more than the titty and ass size and get to know more individual players.

IMO it's a bullshit argument.

The Raiders just moved to Las Vegas because Oakland wouldn't build them a better stadium. It's NFL football was so financially strong how come the Raiders didn't just build one on their own dime? Furthermore, why isn't every commie activist in Las Vegas marching in the street over this blatant case of corporate welfare?

It's because the team isn't profitable. None of them are. And deep down everybody knows and accepts it

Why hasn't a Canadian hockey team won the Stanley Cup in over 20 years? Because Canada doesn't subsidize the teams the way the US does so when a superstar player wants to make more money they got to go south of the border to get it. The problem got so bad the NHL had to impose a salary cap to keep the league competitive.

Whatever your favorite sport is, when you see your favorite player signed a multi-million dollar contract remember they didn't get that money from the ticket sales, the merch, TV licensing. Most of that money came from your taxes.

The question shouldn't be why WNBA players make so little. Why the hell is everybody else making so much?

The market says what you're worth and unfortunately salaries in sports have become over inflated
