tbf, Caitlin Clark is the only WNBA player that’s profitable.

People will bitch about how the men’s league gets paid so much, then proceed to not watch the women’s league…

If you want it to make money YOU need to support it 🫵

This is a great response. If you want to support them, great! Donate, volunteer, watch their games, whatever. For the rest of us, it’s an entertainment product. I don’t watch WNBA because I don’t watch NBA, or any sports. But if you like basketball, yet draw the line at the players’ genitals, that’s weird.

I would think that the kind of people who watch NBA, would want to watch the WNBA.

It’s the same concepts, but with women. I would think the mostly straight/male sports audience would want to watch their favorite sport where the players are also the gender they like to stare at.

Yet, here we are.

Have you ever seen a WNBA game? Sure, it’s the same sport but that logic applies to middle school basketball teams as well and no one gives a shit about those either regardless of the gender of the athletes involved.

The reason professional sports are fun to watch is you get to see the best athletes in the world push the limits of what is physically possible for a human to achieve. Top level women cannot compete with top level men in any regularly televised sport, including basketball. No one wants to watch Caitlin Clark on channel 3 when LeBron James is doing way more impressive things on channel 6. That’s just the way it is. I don’t get why people pretend that isn’t obvious and get offended by it.
