I'd pay good money to listen to that.

People forget that it was not that long ago that players in MLB, The NFL and NBA had to have off seasons jobs to pay the bills. I remember when the NBA finals were taped Delayed to Midnight on CBS and their cable TV partner was the USA network. Baseball was around for 100 years before players started making real money. The WNBA needs to pay their dues and accept they will never be on par with the NBA.

I'm 43 years old, had not play a hoop for over 20 years and I still think I would whoop those behinds.

WNBA games are like watching training videos at work.

Spiral out

Bill Simmons wrote a great column about this back in like 2004 where he compared the WNBA to opening an inferior pizza place next to the best pizza place in town and then have all the chefs be women as a marketing ploy.

The math actually works out pretty good on the revenue percentage. If you give them 10% of the revenue and then multiply that by -10 million, then the players should have to pay $1 million to play.

Put it to you like this. Someone could start up a semi-pro women's volleyball or softball league, and it'll actually do better than the WNBA would.

Someone at ESPN needs to remind the women of the WNBA that if they want more money, then they need to put out a product that will attract fans to want to watch them so they can in turn create revenue. Until then, it isn’t going to happen.

The WNBA players should get the same revenue as the NBA players. minus 10 million a year would equal.... the players owing the league to play and not actually get paid. these women are delusional

​@@GrumpyCat-mw5xlIt's not a whole lot different than my daughter's 12 y/o league. You don't have to be a pro to master airballs, missed layups, and sloppy turnovers.

Air balls and missed easy shots and lay ups hurt my eyes. It’s almost like they don’t know they have to put the ball through the hoop.

I watched BC v Syracuse ladies basketball when I was running on the treadmill the other day. Something was off. Then I realized what it was. The TV director was not cutting to any shots of the crowd ----because there was hardly anyone there! Maybe a few hundred people and the arena was 95% empty. People don;t want to watch, not even women.

I'm near 50 yrs old so i was around when the league first began and i can say they put more effort into promotion when the league first started than they do now. The women back then weren't so entitled as the women today. They understood that to make people come and watch them, they had to make their league as popular as possible. Dawn Staley, Lisa Leslie, Shery Swoops and the like were presented as cool and hip. They had cameos in popular music videos and TV shows at the time, had cool commercials and embraced American patriotism in the Olympics. They put in the work and I'll bet the league's viewership was higher in their first few years than it's been the last 10. Today's WNBA doesn't promote itself well. In the era of social media, why aren't their players more visible with cool tik toks or Instagram pages? That's their fault. WNBA player today comes off as smug, delusiona, entitled l and unpleasant and last but not least is the impression that they're a lesbian sports league. That's just the truth. No one wants to see hard face broads running, sweating, jumping and grunting. Femininity is a factor in the coolness appeal. This league is a lost cost and it's mostly their own fault.

You are right. I was actually more engaged and watched WNBA when it first started. Players are likable, plays hard and organized. Then the league got political and unwatchable. These players did it to themselves. Nobody want to watch a bunch of whiny people that airball a lot.

I actually love the league, I have a Goddaughter that plays in the league. But, what happened a couple of weeks ago, really pissed me off. An NBA player adked one of the stars in the league, about checking out a game. She ASSUMED that he was asking on a personal level, and she told him not to bother her. She blew him off. They are the main ones that swear that the NBA players dont support them. And another comment was ON POINT. These women aren't helping themselves with in person promoting. They are blaming everyone else for their failures.

It's a garbage product, no amount of promotion will help. It's the hard truth!

Let them share in Box office PROFITS, that should shut them up

I remember in 2022, I was on a flight with the back seat entertainment. I turned on ESPN and I think Around the Horn or Pardon the Interruption, some annoying talk show. ESPN2 had game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

Women make up well over 50% of the consumer market as well as dramatically more than half of domestic spending (last number I read years ago was in the 68-74% range). This means the WNBA has a simple math issue in that not enough women are interested in the WNBA. I think Shaq had a great idea of just slightly lowering the rim. You’ll find a consistency in the most popular female sports like MMA, tennis etc in that the game feels the closest to their male counterparts. The sports that showcase the largest drop-off, such as basketball, aren’t as popular.

The high school where I live can squish the wnba Champs. If you don't pull in the $, your out. Look this is business, if you can't bring the receipts, your out. Nobody likes watching almost every woman's pro sports, maybe tennis, but woman's basketball, my God it's so boring. Nobody watches, especially when they try to be like men, fighting, they are such a joke. The only problem is they think that their all that, but their not.. The NBA should cut their losses. Maybe they can be NBA cheer leaders.

No eyeballs on, no money. Their job isn't to play basketball. Their job is to sell Ford trucks, Verizon Wireless, tickets, Travelers Insurance, (you get the picture).

They are the most indoctrinating overrated coven bullshit ever

This is a simple accounting problem. There are fixed costs and variable costs for any business. A big business that has plenty of revenue can “easily” cover its fixed costs and offer a revenue share program. A small business with fewer sales that is struggling to cover fixed costs cannot afford to share any revenue. These players just don’t know anything about operating leverage or else they would not be asking their business to do things that are not financially possible.

I think you make a great point the fact that giving them what they want would bankrupt the league and I think that that is actually a great Wait for the world to be done with the WNBA and for the owners to get out of their obligations. I really think you hit the nail on the head. Give these women what they’re asking for and then just let the league go bankrupt. That way the owners can save face and they don’t have to claim that they’re closing the league on purpose they can just say they have to because they run out of money And we can be finally through with this far cycle existence. I remember when the WNBA first came out and it was actually somewhat cool. I like Chamique holdsclaw back in the day. The OG WNBA stars were pretty cool characters. That don’t mean I watched their games though. At the end of the day there’s only so much time to consume sports. There is so much male sports, which is the elite pinnacle of athleticism that I want to watch and I don’t have time for female sports unless it’s the Olympics. That is just a fact for most people. And the worst thing is that women don’t watch the WNBA. Feminists who claim that there should be equal pay in this circumstance are not tuning in themselves, and that’s all that needs to be said about it.

I'm not gonna lie to y'all. I might start watching these games. After seeing some of these highlight reels, my gut has never hurt so much. Pure entertainment seriously.
