It's also a problem that there is no WNBA forum on the CFMB.

It's also a problem that a championship series in the premier women's basketball league is unable to be a best of 7 series due to women not having the same level of conditioning and endurance.

I had no idea the WNBA Finals were even going on presently until this thread.

I watch Sportscenter AM during commercials of On The Fly, and they dedicated like a 2 minute segment to the WNBA championship clinching game this morning. That seemed fair.

I watched more WNBA this year than all other years of my life combined. Like a half hour total maybe. It's not a great product.

Do they still play a lot of their regular season games at like 11am in the summer? I can't imagine thats very good for ratings or attendance.

Like minor league baseball teams, they do it for that sweet, sweet summer day camp attendance.

It is quite hilarious to watch all ESPN platforms try to force feed this garbage product to consumers.

Now that the women's soccer World Cup is over (with it's far higher ratings and interest than even women's Olympic basketball) how is professional women's soccer doing in the country?

The USA is laughed at by everyone else in the world for caring about women's soccer. Its no less a national embarassment than our politics.

Jokes on them though. All soccer is awful.

Are there any dudes playing in the WNBA yet or are they too busy dominating women's cross country?

Love to see some players or owners say enough is enough.. pull the plug on financing this garbage..if nobody wants to watch it and it's a charity.. let it fold. Give that money to a real charity.

i'm very curious where any of this money is coming from. Is the NBA just going to continue to shell out the difference? i'm assuming well over 50% of the costs of the WNBA are subsidized by the NBA.

Who determines a "top player"? I assume the players don't negotiate individual contracts?

The NBA claims the losses are made up by female fans also watching/buying tickets to NBA games because of it. I think they would have a hard time convincing the NBA players of that but the NBA players are happy because tv contracts are skyrocketing so far and giving them huge raises every time.

The WNBA will shut down when the NBA doesn't print money from ESPN and TNT.

They should invest it in the G League. Pay the players higher salaries and remove the one and done and the G League would take off.

What fun would it be playing a basketball video game where all the players are slow and can't dunk?
