Offtopic, but i think theyd do better if they ditched the pure sports perspective and just hired influencers to play amateur b-ball. If they come with a base already, then there would be something to actually share. Might be able to give each of their individual brands a boost too, with that nba stimulus.



I think a bunch of random youtuber women could net more than 7ft professional athletes taking the game seriously
Maybe they get Jenna Bandy, the Gonzalez Twins, Jamad Fiin, Stephaniae, Tiffany Suarez, Mo'ne Davis, Zaila Avant-garde to start as the centerpieces/captains and fill out the rest of the rosters with girls from the @beautifulballers page. First episode is interviews & highlights like American Idol.

Put them all in a house, film it with confessionals, and create a tournament like the World Cup where they compete for a cash prize during each round. Put it in episodic format on Netflix and script the fukk out of the drama.

I’m playing 1 on 1 and clapping her cheeks right after she beats me 10 to zip. If she wants to, I’ll even let her wear those rubber band leg things while I’m stroking.
:manny:

That applies to the other attractive WNBA players too. I’m 6’4” and I can handle it.

The WNBA struggles because of lack of historical history among other things.

It has less to do with them not dunking or being women it's just the league doesn't have a history that draws interest like the NBA with all it's franchises even though the WNBA has had it's periods of dynasties (Minnesota Lynx, LA Sparks, Seattle Storm, Phoenix Mercury, Houston Comets, etc) and all-time greats (Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Sheryl Swoopes, Maya Moore, etc, etc).

Women's college basketball doesn't struggle because of the prestige in relation to the colleges and NCAA.

Their league is just as popular as the men's.

I'm a big fan of the WNBA as well as the NBA because I am a true fan fanatic of basketball in general. I have my favorite players I root for, I think Maya Moore is/was the MJ of the WNBA (although many others have a claim to that).

she bae for sure but she a lesbian :beli:




Didi Richards, her teammate at Baylor had me in a chokehold all year, I had to buy her jersey.
:wow:





Didi gotta step it up though, her defense is good but I feel like she rather model than practice her jumper.

I don’t blame her :wow:

Wheres Oprah or Gale to investigate the predatory locker room and culture of female basketball?

Most the girls that played high school basketball dated men in my high school and other high schools as well. They were feminine that were also athletic.

By time they were sophomores on local college basketball teams 90% were full blown lesbians.

Womens college basketball is just as popular as mens college basketball? Yall really get on here and type anything. You should be ashamed of yourself for just blatantly lying for no reason. Just pathetic.

“The 2019 men’s tournament, the NCAA said, generated $917.8 million in revenue, and $864.6 million in net income. The 2019 women’s tournament, it said, generated $15.1 million in revenue, and that $2.8 million in net losses.”

I don't equate popularity to money.

Women's college basketball is just as popular from a fan perspective as the men's due to college/university prestige.

The Women's NCAA Tournament garners the same amount of attention and interest as the men's from a fan perspective.

You can clearly see the difference in popularity and fan interest between Women's NCAA and the WNBA.

You'll find more fans interested and invested in Women's college basketball compared to the WNBA. Just like the Women's US soccer team is just as popular (if not more than) the Men's US team obviously because playing for the country is prestige in itself.

I am sorry brother, but nothing you stated in this post makes a lick of sense. The only true way to tell if a product is as popular as another product is by the comparison of revenues. Both Men's and Women's College Basketballs are products. One brings in far more revenue than the other, which in turns proves that one is far more popular than the other.

I.E. one has far more fans than the other, since one is actually bringing in far more revenue from its fans than the other does.

Myself and my own.
I can't get over her complete lack of an upper lip and joker smile. In any case, the WNBA used to be cool and exciting but now it is boring. It honestly feels slow-paced when it used to be faster and even more, the teams used to have identities based around their stars, be it player or coaches, or where they were. More than that, there were many stars within the league but these days, there seems to be only a notable few. One thing the old WNBA did right was that it used olympic fervor to promote not only the women but the teams they were on.
