That league has been bleeding money for years. The NBA (mostly black players), has been funding it for years. They get plenty of support from Black men. Some were posted in the responses. Russel Wilson did a press Conference in a Sue Bird jersey.

Russell Wilson said he felt 'like Sue Bird in the clutch' after a brilliant performance, and the WNBA legend explained why that's important

A simple google search would tell you she is wrong.

In 2013 ESPN said that their WNBA audience was majority male, as it had been for years. 66% of the viewers were male and almost half were African-Americans. Viewership for the 19 games broadcast for the 2014 regular season was an average of 240,000.



Silver said there are two main issues facing the WNBA, one being attendance, and he mused about possibly aligning the league’s schedule with that of the NBA and college basketball. Last year, the season ran from mid-May to early September, a change from previous years in which the WNBA Finals were not held until mid-October, when pro and college football are in full swing and the Major League Baseball playoffs are also attracting attention.
“We have a lot of empty seats in our buildings,” Silver said. “The ratings have been decent on ESPN, [but] it’s been harder to get people to come to the games, maybe because the games are in the summer. One of the things we’re talking about is do we need to shift to the so-called more natural basketball season, sort of in the fall or winter. That may be part of the issue.”

“It’s interesting: Women’s basketball is largely supported — just in terms of the demographics — by older men, for whatever reason, who like fundamental basketball, and it’s something I’ve talked a lot to the players about,” he said. “We’re not connecting with almost the same demographic that our players are. I’m always saying our players are roughly, let’s say, 21 to 34, in that age range. I’m saying [to the players], ‘Why do you think it is that we’re not getting your peers to want to watch women’s basketball?’

Women don't support each other period. Its just a lot of deflection,

The ticket sales, which makes up $50M, which is more than 83% of the total revenue of the WNBA. When comparing this to the NBA, the WNBA makes a much larger percentage of their revenue from ticket sales. Of the NBA's ~$8.3B revenue per year, only about $3B comes from ticket sales.

More money for the league means more money for the players, and vice versa. According to wsn.com the WNBA generates about 60 million dollars in revenue, while the NBA generates about 7.4 billion dollars.


Women are 51% of the US population. :usure:

Petty Vandross.. fukk Yall
Ladies keep waging this righteous war if you want to
A lot of men, especially black
Are getting tired of the shyt
Keep letting these nut ass females
Be your representatives without checking them
If you don’t
Better be prepared to defend yourselves in these streets
It’s a lot of brehs choosing not to give a fukk anymore
And turning their backs on you
The reward ain’t worth the risk

66% of viewers for the WNBA are black men and I am one of them. Most of the time when you go to an WNBA you will see black men there more then any other race or gender. She needs to realize that without black men the league she plays for would've been closed down years ago, when women decided to not view the sport anymore. With these WNBA players it's simply about penis envy. When Harrison Barnes got a payday Skylar Diggings went on a rant about how average nba players get paid so much money and WNBA stars get paid so little money. At that very moment I noticed that she and other WNBA players don't understand simple Supply and Demand. If the WNBA players want to be mad at someone it should be women since the league was created for women.


AND Sarah Spain need to shut up, I really don't understand why she even still has a career, I don't forget the time she was going to prostitute her self just for some super bowl tickets.

Really this shyt is a slap in the face to all the black men that donate and support this league that wouldn’t exist with the nba players.

It’s like why help these people and donate money to them just to slap you in the face with disrespect.

You can't make this shyt up if you tried. A black bull dagger who wants to be a black man. Criticizes black men saying they don't support their league. But black men make up the biggest percent of their fans and famous black men have donated money and helped sistas become owners in that league.

shyt like the spoiled child who cries they parents ain't shyt. After the parents done spent thousands and thousands of dollars buying shyt for them and bailing they ass out of bad situations for years.

You don’t argue with no bytch. They gonna ignore logic. So when women start saying outlandish shyt like this, you literally can’t entertain it. But they will just argue with you forever. Women have more argument energy than men. They don’t care if they wrong, not making sense, or looking crazy, they simply just wanna argue about some shyt. You just have to tell bytch like this, ok, I understand, and continue not giving a fukk.

They don't have a leg to stand on so they fire shots at black men. People can say what they want, but society has conditioned people to look the other way when black men are being persecuted.

If they were to approach this honestly, they would be looking to increase female viewership. Can't just expect men to pick up the flack when their connection to the team is limited.

I imagine if they did more to get women involved in the sport things would change. People would track the progress of players they know personally or who are from their area/school. Boyfriends/husbands would watch the games with their girlfriends/wives (preferable to watching Keeping up with the Kardashians).
