I channel surfed to a WNBA game and literally felt bad for them.

Finals are on. Didn't even know they were in the Finals until I heard it on Colin. Didn't even know they were in the playoffs :yeshrug:

Closeout game is tonight at 8pm on ESPN2 if anyone is interested.

I really think the WNBA needs to adjust their schedule to get more views during the slower portions of the sports season.


adjust their schedule how? season starts at like the end of may and the finals just ended.

i think they need to just get away from espn cuz they have too much going on, and they dont even attempt to promote the league like that. the finals just ended on espn2, while espn1 is showing baylor blow out buffalo.:laugh: they'd be better off on FS1 or nbc sports. but i guess theyre apart of the nba contract.

I don't really even watch WNBA games, but I do know for a fact that a lot of the players can flat out ball. Maya Moore and Tamika Catchings would give every fake college baller in here the business. Many more of them girls would do so, too.

It was Washington vs. :manny:

But my point is... the area was pretty much empty. Dead as fukk. It was painful to watch those 5 minutes. That league has to be a tax right off for the NBA. And its not like they haven't had polarizing players come in the league. Even bytches dunking hasn't done nothing.

this game tonight wouldve been better off on nba-tv.

theyre getting nothing out of being on espn, aside from the occasional abc game. those sunday matinees on espn are cool too but nobody knows about that chit.

dog, they had the game listed as ending at 10:30. the game ended earlier than that. so instead of giving coverage & insight on their biggest game of the year until 10:30, they went to sportscenter. and sportscenter prolly didnt even mention the game until the end of the show.

:snoop:

I watched the whole Sparks vs Lynx game last night with my daughter.. It was great..I used to do the male chauvinist thing and sh1t on the league for years...But since I had a daughter and she's grown to really love the game and be good at it I really appreciate it..We took her AAU team to the George Washington campus and they met the head coach and toured the locker room.. As soon as the girls found out the GW coach used to coach Skylar Diggins and Notre Dame their eyes lit up like they were meeting Phil Jackson..Then they saw this big display in the locker room with plaques of all the alumni that signed with WNBA squads and the girls were enthralled..

The league also does a lot of cool things like having Father/Daughter nights where you can get good ticket prices and go meet some of the coaches or players... My daughter and her friends look up to Candice Parker and Maya Moore like we used to look at Jordan and Dominique...Better that then Nicki Minaj or Katie Got Bandz imo..My whole perspective of the league has changed, I really hope it succeeds...

They just need more TV exposure in my opinion. Their season is during slow season in sports but we barely know that it's on.

true, but at what price?

Don't they make like 35k a year on average?
Yeah, but it's not like a WNBA season takes up a whole year. They're basically picking up 35 racks (or however much) for a few months worth of work.
