The WNBA players association opts out of the CBA. Edit:Deal is done

[Henry Orbit]

The WNBA has been marketing themselves towards woman and that hasn't been working. Women don't watch women's sports in large numbers.
They need to start marketing themselves toward male fans. Which means, making the uniforms more sexy. No reason for females to be rocking the long ass shorts like men do. give them short shorts or yoga pants. Make the tops tighter. etc. Use the sex appeal to get the numbers.

Gilbert Arenas made this same suggestion and used personal examples from his own career and feminists shytted on him

Gotta ignore the feminists. They ain't packing the arenas. They're vocal, but they don't actually support these women with their dollars.

Cats don't want to see at least 90% of the league in yoga pants

A league full of dykes are not trying to look sexy for nikkas

Looking sexy will endear them to women too, quiet as it's kept. They don't want to admit it, true, but embracing it is the only way they will be successful as a league.

Im not saying you’re wrong,I just don’t ever see it happening

Is that bump in pay really enough of an incentive to prevent players from playing overseas?

Wouldn’t the team just bump up the pay to get them to change their minds especially since they don’t have a salary cap overseas I believe?

Lol, no

shout out to my girl who's head of WNBA league ops for all the work she put in with these chicks

 

[Youngdev]

Some of them chics is beat and y’all wanna see them in yoga pants



don’t get me wrong it’s some baddies in the WNBA but it’s not enough for them to be wearing sexy outfits

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I know, but it's honestly they're only way to compete. That's the reason tennis manages to compete. Woman are out there playing in miniskirts and corset looking shyt.

this is not the reason women's tennis competes...women's hoop and men's hoop are day and night aesthetically, that's it, that's all. that's why women's hoop cant compete when women's tennis, track, soccer can compete better, relatively, with their male sport. until they adjust the court to women's size/strength, they'll always struggle

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Lol, no

A few years ago, I remember that one overseas team offering Diana Taurasi $1 million dollars to sit the WNBA season (which she did).

Not to mention how Harrison Barnes became the benchmark of WNBA players mentioning wanting more money, I figured that whatever pay increase they received wouldn’t be good enough for them.

• Players will receive full salary while on maternity leave, an annual childcare stipend of $5,000, and guarantee of two-bedroom apartments for players with children.


This the most interesting thing to me. So she get knocked up and they give her a crib?

Lower the rim

I watched the first seasons of the WNBA and it wasn't bad.

But you're 100% right.

And they definitely got a good deal on this CBA. Hopefully it includes chartered flights now.
