WNBA rookie A’ja Wilson talking that wnba money vs nba money after Lebron signed with Lakers....

I like watching basketball. All types. I liked the WNBA in the early 2000s (Detroit Shock - now the Dallas Wings - was my squad). Now, the league is marketed so badly, you forget about it - even when there's a team near you! You hear about the games almost as an afterthought, like, "The Mystics played last night? I didn't even know they had a game!" This is happening even now - and the playoffs are almost over! If it were advertised better, then I would know when a team is playing, and I'd watch or go to the games. Nobody even mentions the games, not even on the news. You have to make a special effort to go to the WNBA's website or ESPN's website (where the coverage is buried and hard to find) to find out what's going on in the league.

To have even a ghost of a chance of getting more attendance, the WNBA needs to market themselves more, and market themselves better. Until you get people to the games, you can't realistically expect the salaries to be higher. Can't get attendance up when nobody knows when you're playing.

If Wilson doesn't like it, then she should play overseas, where the money's better, and the teams are supported more.

The big 3 league is marketed better than wnba
 
I understand where you’re coming from.

With that said, this past Women’s NCAA Final Four was more exciting than the men’s. With better endings.

The women will start dunking on each other one day, then we’ll see if that’s what everyone was waiting for.
Lower the rim by half a inch broden the rim by a quarter casual fans wont notice they will think they better
 
Some of the places attract 8-10k fans that's like Conn., Seattle, LA, n one more spot

But the others avg 1.5k-5k ppl in attendance

Yeah Seattle looked like it had a decent amount of people tonight, I didn't get to see Washington and ATL though. But when most teams are drawing in less than 5k they (the WNBA) have to do better than that.

Yeah like dude said they need to attract sum females. I've never heard not one chick say she was going to a game.
 
Well if there’s ever one player who had to right to complain about pay it was her. Didn’t realize she’s been in the league since 2018.
