Yahoo is now a part of Verizon Media

So apparently the Phoenix Mercury and Vegas Aces gotta play their game 3 playoff game at some college cause Disney on Ice in town and clearly that's a more important event. It's kinda crazy how the L's these teams be taking from not being looked at seriously enough with their lack of revenue. Mickey said fukk gender equality, the mouse is in the god damn house.










Also I had no idea the playoffs started, I think I saw that chick on the liberty make that buzzer beater and that was the last highlight I've seen about the leauge since.
A lot of brehs on here are young but I remember when the NBA and NHL had similar issues in the 90s. Teams would play playoff games back to back days because of another arena event.

The Bullets had this happen to them in the ‘75 Finals against the Warriors.

The Capitals got fukked over in a playoff series against the Penguins because of the circus.

It's unfortunate, but hey. Every sport has its humble beginnings.

NBA Finals games were on TAPE DELAY into the 1980s.

NFL teams used to predominantly play in baseball fields until the 80s. And even then, few like the Raiders still played there into the 2010s.

Humble beginnings? This league is 25 years in.

They don't promote the stars.

As a kid in the 90s it seemed like Lisa Leslie and Sheryl Cooper got mainstream recognition..shyt they may have been on the Wheaties box even.

Nowadays it's like who is known ..Sue Bird and who? Candace Parker?


And to be honest women playing a game like basketball doesn't look as appealing.

I mean a woman doing crossovers and tryna look like allen iverson ain't what's up.
And alot of them have demeanor like men.

You do google searches to try and make points, I actually watch and enjoy the games.

Move along.

I bet 99% of nikkas in this thread would get worked in a pickup game of 21 against these ladies.


Put some respect.
Yall only respect the finish line never the grind.

I also saw that they street playing playoff game(s) right in the middle of NFL Sunday.. Like that was odd and not sure how you get ratings and buzz in the mist of all that

I watch the wnba. I like it. But their skill level is fukking trash outside of like 20 players and even then…

I will say it’s getting better. But sometimes these layup attempts be looking like a blind special Ed kids attempting them
