They were on national tv a lot when the league first debuted, viewership slowly went down.

It's definitely get lots of views on YouTube. Yes if a 5'8 chick was dunking people would watch, would that boost the ratings for the entire league I don't think so.

It's simply an inferior product. If I have to choose between women doing bounce passes and layups of men the size of horses question my belief in certain laws of physics....I'm watching the flying horse men!

I'm not paying money to see layups.

A woman as in ONE woman banging dudes in the paint is a unicorn and thats always going to get 10 million views.. WOMEN doing it on women in a game will get the side eye and dismissed.

Literally the difference between the NBA and WNBA is ONE SHOT..the other 99.9% of the games are identical...strategy, coaching, offense and defense etc

now would adding that one shot, the dunk, bring ratings..IMO INITIALLY it would but then once the novelty off that wore off dudes would stop watching.

men don't support female team sports... and yes I know women don't support it either BUT they DO support men team sports overwhelmingly so its not the same thing.. She cares about your shit but you DON'T care about hers..

Kinda proves my point. After the initial 'newness' of the league wore off it had to rely on merit unlike collegiate basketball which is heavily support by Title IX - seriously, minus University of Tennessee and UConn, most women collegiate basketball teams are operating at a loss or at best break even- it simply couldn't compete with men the size of horses who can fly.

To me they had that with Cynthia Cooper & Sheryll Swoopes. That was the team to watch back then
Coop was the ish. Love her. But they don't have anyone like that now. I think she was the beginning and the end of organic stars as opposed to created stars like Swoopes. They have been trying to stuff stars that they create down our necks and can't believe it hasn't worked. It's kinda like Blake Griffin, he is a highlight maker but he is also a pussy(ask Zach). He is soft as soft-serve ice cream. You challenge him and he melts. The same thing goes for the WNBA, I sat through a game where they just kept passing the ball around because they were to scared to test the defense. Who wants to watch players who lack courage? Being naked won't cure that!
 
If you had a woman that was as quick as and could shoot like Curry & she had an ass like Cherokee then dude a might watch.

I don't think that's physically possible
 
females don't even like the wnba, females like the nba better, it is what it is, that shit sucks and will always suck

Exactly. Whereas its likely not true, average cats who stumble upon a WNBA game might feel as if they too could average a double-double in a game. That fairy-tale sh*t goes out the window when you attend your first NBA GAME and actually stand next to a player you thought was like 6'0...but in reality is the size of a created-player in Madden, is draining sh*t from the announcers table while talking to someone, and never gets off the fukn bench. Makes you respect what youre witnessing, unlike as brother Pogo said:
Watching a vastly inferior product.

:yes: Yessir :yes:
 
You need a star. A real star, not someone that gets hyped up in the NCAA and just turns out to be another regular fundamentals player. You need someone with flash, skills, attitude and marketability. The reason the NBA is where it's at today is because it is entertaining and keeps people excited and tuned in. The WNBA is boring, yes the ladies have talent. But no one cares because it's all boring low scoring games.

Women's sports can sell if done right, we saw it in the UFC and we see it in Tennis. But you need a star to lead the way.
 
nope ...wont work.......who wants to go see an inferior product every night? basketball- nba.....ass and titties-internet models. they gonna always be second in their two main demographics and they cant change it.
 
All of this we don't want to want an inferior product...shit college basketball isn't nearly as high flying as the NBA much more defense minded and doesn't perform as many dunks by comparison. Yet is very popular. If the WNBA plays on par with college level (including the dunks) would men tune in??

if not then admit its got nothing to do with game play so much as gender bias..
 
Wouldn't matter, these 2 hoes been in college for 2-3 years now and I follow their asses on the gram but have never youtube'd a game or their stats

The only balls I want to see them playing with are in my boxers

Damn they are cute as hell. I'm glad that are playing sports and learning team...blah blah blah blah...I'd definitely smash. The eyes and lips are amazing.
 
The WNBA playing during the summer doen't help. They play only 6 months from May to Oct.

They need to start earlier and run adjacent to the NCAA and NBA.

Increase games to at least 50.
Combine All-Star Weekend
WNBA All-Star game at 3pm and NBA at 8pm.

It also doesn't help ever 4 years they take a month off for the Olympics.
 
following sports is a waste of time. women's biological clocks make time important. most women watch sports to catch men, not for the sake of the enjoyment of the sport itself.
 
The chick on the right wants to be black so bad. I'm sure she wears fitted hats and says "jawn" a lot.

The twins are bad as hell man. I'd put my face right in that pussy after two full regulation games.
Agreed... and I still would be fronting when I tell her "baby I watched the whole game, you did your thing boo!"

so the question has to be: WHY MEN DON'T SUPPORT WOMEN IN TEAM MANY SPORTS PERIOD? [/SIZE]

Simple, I watch sports to see players do shot I can't do, or deem rare. I watch women tracks and gymnastic for that reason. Ill watch them play golf as well. But football and basketball... They're just not athletic enough to make me seriously think a group of decent ballers at the gym, or in weekend football leagues couldn't wipe the floor with them. Could the beat avg dudes just balling to stay in shape??? Sure, would they beat some of the best dudes at the gym in any given night??? I seriously doubt it.

Uhh....no. An inferior product is still an inferior product. Game for game college basketball, or football, isn't nearly as popular as professional.

People will pay to see good, people will pay more to see THE BEST.

There's a reason that the NBA is global and the NFL owns a day of the week for half the year...
