NBA....started well behind boxing, baseball, college football, NFL etc.
Sport grew a bit with Wilt/Russell but the NBA was on life support after that era. They needed Magic vs Bird to save them and that's what vaulted them onto the path they're on today. MJ took it over the top.
Men consume enough sports as-is. Women gotta watch it on TV to get those numbers up.
WNBA also needs some players that draw people to the game. A 6'5" broad with Kyrie handles, looks like Skylar Diggins and can dunk....a physically attractive player that has rare physical ability but also can dominate with just skill. Basically a really tall version of Simone Biles.
Not sure the ladies have that MJ/Bron/Wilt athlete that just captivates people but that's what the league needs. Problem is that hoops tends to be the sport that tall girls play......but tall girls aren't necessarily the best athletes. The best female athletes end up running track, playing soccer or doing gymnastics...maybe tennis. We end up with a bunch of skilled tall broads instead of freak ath-a-leets

Women comprise nearly half of NFL audience, but more wanted.
Women comprise nearly half of NFL audience, but more wantedThe reason why a majority of women don't/won't watch the WNBA is simply because it's dull & lacks excitement.
The WNBA's audience is 75 percent women.

But this whole discussion IS about money. That is the premise of this debate and why this thread was made.
You can CLAIM it is popular all you want, but numbers don't lie.

You have your point but we all know women don't really find football that interesting
I never went to work and heard women recap on how great Tom Brady's passing is or how fast Breece hall is.
I really think women's interest in football ties into in being attached to American Culture, the Superbowl, a date idea etc.

I think this is the problem. Guys will play sports recreationally even if they have zero talent for organized sports.
Add the monetary ecosystem of apparel and collecting, you create passion among fans at a young age.
The main thing the WNBA has an advantage at is women like being seen. So even if they aren’t sports players, getting them excited about apparel and collecting should be easier. But that would require them to spend more on creating WNBA’s own identity outside of just jerseys and sweats.
They have attractive players. No reason they shouldn’t have Fenty branded stuff.
