Adam Silver: We thought WNBA 'would have broken through by now'

I'm watching the WNBA Playoffs right now and the quality is pretty good. Hope the NBA doesnt pull the plug on this

How many people even know it's the WNBA playoffs?

And I thought I'd be a millionaire bussin 8 nuts a day in supermodels by now but neither of those were ever going to happen



Well actually if I play this lotto right I have a higher chance of accomplishing my goal than the wnba does of breaking through

That's probably code for, "I'm about to cut this fat out sooner than later."

Silver ain't fukkin around. He's been there since day one anyway.

Side note - Liberty better win this year. Embarrassing that they've been around since that tiny league's inception, and haven't won a damn title yet.

from a PR standpoint, no way the NBA pulls the plug

they'll just keep paying the players nothing

Ruh roh. ....

Isnt it bc these bytches ain't getting pushed by the media, that coupled with the fact that it's football season and few people give a fukk about basketball about now mean less women's basketball.

They're a business right? Why is it so farfetched to think they might one day make that decision? Will people stop watching the NBA cuz the WNBA was retired?

they need to put more effort into the promoting the product. they also need to revamp NBAtv

do some more commericals with the star players, do cross promotions with the top players in the NBA.
hell do a reality TV show
player profiles
pay the top players more, makes no sense that diana taurasi and candace parker either didn't play this season or sat out a big chunk of the season.
and lastly....sex sells put some of these chicks(the fine ones) in some bikinis and do a ESPN body type show on NBATV or something

 

[Kaypain]

wat the fukk is a WNBA? :stacwtf:

 

[mozichrome]

other than a few glances while changing channels to see whats on...i have not watched more than 5 minutes of wnba during this season

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

lets be real its not very entertaining to watch

 

[Loose]

I have no clue when the games come on. They should just have the season during the NBA season. I'd pay attention more
