Everywhere...You never there.
Again , harsh reality is this , potential fans don’t identify with a league that’s majority stud lookin (and actual stud) hoopers. Shyt is NOT gonna fly . Not saying it’s right ... but I’m just saying ... optics are off for the average, casual viewer. Shame tho... they can really hoop.

If the goal is to market to women, they need a reboot. Women will like and support attractive women. You can go to any model's Instagram and you'll probably see women in the comments (after combing through a lot men's thirst comments) saying stuff like "Goals". Yeah, Brittney Griner can (barely) dunk, but women aren't thinking "Goals" with her. Women also like drama, scandal, and romance in their viewing too (e.g., shows like The Bachelor and The Bacholorette).

With that in mind, I'd just fold the league and just put up a Summer Weekend Women's Tournament at an exotic location. Find attractive, but athletic women and train them to play ball and instead of showing the game live, shoot a "reality" show (with some scandalous and dramatic, but also romantic storylines) with edited highlights of the game. Basically, put basketball in the background and focus on the women and their stories instead. Sure, there will be some complaints by the usual groups, but the world moves fast that by the next week they'll find something else going on to focus their energy on.

Attractive women aren’t wasting time playing basketball for 20k in the summer. And men aren’t tuning to basketball for attractive women. That’s what porn and Instagram is for. Simple fact is women’s basketball just sucks. It isn’t some sexist bullshyt. It just does. Women’s tennis, golf, even MMA when Ronda was around are contradictory to that. Watching WNBA you can see a clear inferior product. It’s not pleasing watching slow, unathletic women. Sorry

on the real tho, their league would be much more entertaining if they had one goal and it was raised to the top of a mountain and the women had weapons and shyt and had to fight to the top like fortnite or american gladiators. i would tune in to that shyt every night.
this dude just invented a whole other sport :dead:

Meh, not funny. Pretty sad actually as basketball is the team sport that women have the best chance at gaining a mass audience today in this country.

The only way the WNBA survives is if they plan the schedule so that they travel with the men. Let the women play the early games then let the men player later on that night. Make it an extra nominal fee to get into the area early, watch the games...maybe sell a few more shirts, hot dogs etc. I think they will still be in the red once you consider the extra security and other staff you will have to hire, but I really think that's the only shot it has. Market it as "Women's First" or some shyt to see what kind of interest you can build...try it for a few years and if it still doesn't pick up just dump it.

By to be real that league is pretty much done and the NBA is likely just keeping it out there to avoid any public backlash.

2 problems with that

1. Not every WNBA team has an NBA counterpart (nor do many of them play in the same arenas)

2. Ain't nobody tryna watch over 5 hours of hoops.


It's kinda wack that some of y'all really want the WNBA to fail.

That's embarrassing as fukk to have that low of a turnout. Oh well, some things just aren't entertaining to watch or follow and the WNBA happens to be one of those things:manny:

You know what's crazy? That city would more upset if the Lynx disappeared than their NBA counterpart.

The WNBA needs a generational and trendsetting talent like Curry
And the only people who need to be legitimately mad at it being the failure it is are the team owners.
Still dont know why most of the coli loves to partake into kicking a woman's league that's already down as it is.
shyt makes no sense to me.

They think the WNBA is keeping them from signing that elusive free agent.

But then you're not selling sports. What you just described is Basketball Wives except Jackie and her clique has to play Evelyn and her clique. You're wasting time.

I've never been to a Connecticut Sun game and I'm up in that casino all the time. How bout u @Chef Mello ?

I almost feel bad for these ladies but it is what it is. I fukk with some women's sports. I fukk with the women's soccer and especially ladies tennis. I like the Olympic sports like gymnastics.

but I can't do WNBA. I can do a little women's final four tho. :manny:
